Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau
or
My hen laid a haddock, one hand oiled a flea,
Glad farts and centurions threw dogs in the sea,
I could stew a hare here and brandish Dan's flan,
Don's ruddy bog's blocked up with sand.
Dad! Dad! Why don't you oil Auntie Glad?
Can whores appear in beer bottle pies,
O butter the hens as they fly!




Does anyone know for sure why the international days are now friday and tuesday? I'm assuming it's beacuse the big leagues (ie: premier, serie a, la liga, divizia naţională moldova etc.) want time for their little princes to recover but I haven't heard any references to this. Can't fooking wait to get back to Loftus Road but for what it's worth here are my international observations.
1. Can't remember the last time the two Irelands both won away from home on the same day
2. Hope England have turned a corner but the way they're roaring through the group stage does remind me of groundhog day.
3. Scotland needed an extreme amount of Fergie time to beat Liechtenstein. As they were 3 parts Boro I'm hoping that means McMiddlesbrough are as shit as the jocks.
And finally well done to Heidi and Kaspar for finding the back of the net for their countries. Roll on Saturday. U RRRRRssssssss!
