Giant Killer Barnsley Strikes Again!

By: chris | March 8th, 2008

Barnsley 1 - Big Bad Chelsea 0

And with one sweet cross sent into the swooping presence of Kayode Odejayi, little Barnsley have made it be known: they are by no means little Barnsley anymore. All the criticism in the world will be directed London’s way, but it’s hard to say a team which knocked down European behemoths Liverpool and Chelsea in succession has done anything but deserve their victories. Romance is at its height as they make their way to the FA Cup semifinals, which is now devoid of a Big Four presence, thanks mostly to themselves. There they’ll attempt to continue their pursuit of a second FA Cup victory (1912), all the while leaving history in their wake.

    This is not politically correct but funny in the circs. Anyone have one on Chelsea?
    Disaster in Barnsley An Appeal for Your Help
    A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Epicentre: Close to Barnsley, England.
    News of the disaster was swiftly carried abroad by the town’s 35,000 racing pigeons, as victims were seen wandering around aimlessly
    muttering “fookinhell” and “choffin-norah”.
    The earthquake decimated the town, causing £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearic Isles
    and the Spanish Costa’s were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historical burnt out cars were disturbed.
    Many locals were woken up well before their Giro arrived. Radio Barnsley reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered,
    still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Barnsley.
    One resident, 15 year old mother of 3, Tracy Sharon Braithwaite said: “It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Madonna came running
    into my bedroom crying. The twins, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching the Kyle Show the next morning”.

    Locals were determined not to be bowed, as looting, muggings and car crime carried on as normal.

    So far, whilst the British Red Cross has managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to relieve the suffering of stricken locals, rescue workers searching through the rubble have found large quantities of personal belongings including, benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos, and bone china from Pound-stretcher.
    Can You Help….?
    Please respond generously to our appeal for food and clothing
    for the victims of this disaster.
    Clothing is needed most of all, especially:
    • Fila or Burberry baseball caps
    • Kappa tracksuit tops (his or hers)
    • Shell suits (female)
    • White sports socks
    • Rock-Fort boots or any other product sold in Primark

    Culturally sensitive food parcels are harder to put together, but your efforts will make a difference.
    Microwave meals, tinned baked beans, ice-cream and cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew are ideal.
    Please do not give anything that requires peeling.

    Remember:
    • 22p buys a biro for filling in compensation claims
    • £2 buys chips, crisps and a blue fizzy drink for a family of 9
    • £5 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm a child’s nerves

    Urgently required: Tinned whippet food. Bones for Jack Russells
    Please do not send tents for shelter.
    The sight of such posh housing will cause discontent in the surrounding South Yorkshire communities.
