To be a Wigan fan

Not just voices G – it’s whole orchestras these days.[/quote]

Your hearing must be suspect –

I suggest you listen to some of Sir Hubert Parry’s stuff it may clear your misleading thoughts.[/quote]
I am familiar with the old public school favourite ‘Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind’, but that’s about it.

You can’t beat a bit of Elgar for me.[/quote]

you cant be saying that on here its a bit like treason – wasnt that elgar fellow a wolves fan – must admit he penned one or two decent tunes though he could have made himself famous if he’d used blake to write a few lines for him also.[/quote]

Loudmouth….yet again you appear to have missed the ‘cultural’ point by that country mile. The Sir Hubert reference was inconsequential….. it was quite obvious that Mr Standish was referring to the opening bars to ‘Tommy’ Blake’s recent poem:

And in the goals, his gloves divine
Saved us from Scouse defeat
And did we strive throughout that time
To make our game play so complete

And did the referee try so hard
To give the game to them
And was the Latics builded here
So small but in the Prem

Bring me my voice, make it so loud
Bring me my passion and desire
Bring me my team, I am so proud
Bring me support of fire

I will not cease from mental fight
nor shall my love wane for my team
Til we have built the ultimate
and stay here and reign supreme

But an ‘educated’ man like yourself would have known that anyway.

Here have one of these…….. ;)

They don’t…………..so you need to ‘un-learn’ that something.

‘Tommy’ Blakes poem was set to music…not unlike the rousing music of Sir Hubert Parsee……classic pianist he was.

However, if you cannot stanza the heat then you need to quatrain your comments as you and your brother will end up as exiled couplets.

You never know but perhaps in a hundred years or so some composer may set your (tommy’s) poem to music and in a further 100 years it may become one of the rousing closing numbers at ‘last night of the trolls’

I wont bother going into the “opening bars” stuff, I will leave that to the more ‘educated’ like filmoss to question, as he seems not to “miss the ‘cultural’ point by a country mile” like I do.[/quote]

A hundred years…………and then another?

You flatter me…….but I don’t want that; maybe that’s your way of ingratiating yourself to others……..maybe you want to be loved (or at least liked). Your ‘back-book’ (as the nouveau psychs call it) must be fascinating.

Please indulge me….why not ‘go into the bars stuff’ – after all it’s only a musical reference.

Trolls eh?….

Biscuit, this, take, you, the, on, one……..(rearrange at your pleasure/leisure).

Hey….what about Tommy’s poem……is there no credit at all from you? I can hear it now being sung from the far corners of the East; you cannot hear from your armchair though…can you?

here have one of these…..

…….. :evil:

Thanks Phil

I didn’t think it that bad actually…….considering it came on the back of a ‘staff do’.

Poetic license?…………I must try (a little) harder eh?
