Read this preview yesterday, Giller gave it to the team to motivate them.

bit cheeky for an official website alright, saying all you'd get out of it is the extra gate money.

shels had similar swipes at City in their official site recently, shame it didn't motivate our boys in the same way. Great result, well done.

Yeah fair play good win. The preview on that site also said that they should beat us easily enough and when we ran Bohs off the pitch it was so so sweet!

Boh's == Big Ego's but crap team!

I know this is totally nothing to do with the subject ;) but where does the term "egg on the face" come from?

This morning i came upon a piece about where the term cloud-cuckoo-land came from

cloud-cuckoo-land \klowd-KOO-koo-land\ noun

: a realm of fantasy or of whimsical or foolish behavior


Example sentence:
If the boss really thinks he can up productivity and increase profit after the company is downsized, he is living in cloud-cuckoo-land.

Did you know?
In Aristophanes' 5th century B.C. comedy Birds, Peisthetaerus (a human) convinces the king of the birds and his followers to help him build an ideal city juxtaposed between heaven and earth. They plan to intercept all of the sacrifices rising from the earth to the gods on Olympus, thereby starving the gods into cooperating with them. The newly built city is dubbed "Nephelokokkygia," (from "nephos," meaning "cloud," and "kokkyx," the native European cuckoo). By the late 19th century, English speakers had translated the town's name as "Cloud-Cuckoo-Land" and had begun using it as a general term for any similarly unreal or whimsical place or situation.

its from another BC play, this time a thief and murderer is found out after hiding in a hen coop, by the egg on his face
