If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son

I plan to watch at home, spelling, although I may go to The Clyde for the extra atmosphere.

I've had a moderate bet on Villa to qualify at a very generous 6/5, although I hope it's a losing bet. 2-0 will do for Villa after exrea time, although I will be happy with a shoot out as we've won our last 8.

Cheers sparks and Capt.

I've done Bradford to qualify, one goal in normal time should see them through hopefully. Good luck kenny, hope they do it for both of us. Plus I've got the added bonus of having a lot of Villa mates so it will be a double result in so far as I can give them the bird as well for good measure Mischief

If you see HRH around on the forum in the next few days then don't mention the game, just whistle to yourself and make polite conversation but don't mention football. Talk what are you having for dinner tonight, would you smash Kay Burley's back doors in you know, the usual stuff. The poor bloke must be hurting Sad

Would have been a great achievement 30 years ago & though many of the top clubs in the premiership hold the comp in some disdain I think you may well wait another 30 years to see fourth tier club reach another Wembley final.

Report Burton-Brewers January 23, 2013 12:16 AM GMT
bad experience a couple of seasons ago Kenny. A friend took me for a day out as I had not been to a game in a while, was expecting an easy victory as Bradford were struggling to field a full team. Got in the ground and paid for food and drinks and it was mysteriously called off 30 mins before kick-off. To rub salt it when it was replayed Bradford fans were let in for half price and we had already paid full for ours, never went to the replay as it was midweek and my friend couldn't get.
Report pumphol. January 23, 2013 12:16 AM GMT
I was generalising Kenny not talking about Bradford's opponents.
Probably did not make myself that clear, what I was trying to say is the top division is on a different planet compared to lower league teams these days so though many premier teams do not put out a first team I was trying to say Bradford's achievement is probably comparable to a 4th tier side reaching a Wembley final say  around 30 years ago.
Report pumphol. January 23, 2013 12:19 AM GMT
I remember watching it on MOTD Kenny & how unlucky Bradford were not to at least get a replay, then Soton draw Palace in the semi's,could have happened in 76 with a little bit more luck, still what goes around comes around Happy

nothing against the fans Kenny, been there a couple of times in the FA Cup and was always made very welcome. We actually nearly knocked you out when we were in the non-league, I think it was Ormondroyd scored a 90th minute goal and we lost 4-3
