That song Piney dug up was the most obscure and ridiculous yet - but brilliant at the same time. Ive been singing it to my kids. they love it.
 
The lyrics are absolute quality (see below) - but im not at all convinced Dupla Prague exists. cant find any trace of it. I think it is subbuteo fantasy.
 
Band: Half Man Half Biscuit
Album: Back on the DHSS
Song: All I want For Christmas is a Dupla Prague away kit

There was one of a gang
who owned a scalextrex
and you couldn't afford one;
so he thought he was better than you,
and every day after school,
You'd go round there to play him,
Hoping to compete for some kind championship,
And it always took about 15 billion hours to set the track up.
And even when you did, the thing never seemed to work.

It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, again and again.
It was a dodgy blue mass, again and again.
It was a dodgy transformer, cost 3 pounds 10.

So he sent his doting mother
Up the stairs with the stepladder,
To get the Subuteoout of the loft.
It had all the accessories
Required for that big-match atmosphere.
The crowd and the dugout,
And the floodlights, too.
And you'd always get palmed off
With a headless center-forward,
And a goal-kicker with no arms,
And a face like his.
And he'd managed to get hold of
A Dukla-Prague Away Kit,
because his uncle owned a sport shop
And he'd kept it to one side.
And after only five minutes
You'd be down to ten men,
And he'd sent off your right back
While taking the base from under your left-winger.
Come to half-time, you were losing, four-nil.
Each and every goal, a hotly disputed penalty penalty.
So you'd smash up the floodlights
And the game was abandoned,
And the dog would bark
And you'd be banned from his house.
And your travelling army
Of synthetic supporters
Would be taken away from you
And thrown in the bin.

And now he's working
In a job with a future.
He hands me my Gyro
Every two weeks.
And me, I'm on the lookout
For a proper transformer.

quality as per...although Piney claiming that Man City wouldn't stay in the top four got me angry.  I know where you live Piney.

Non crackling edition should be online in around 30 minutes according to CNUT.

i expect the non-crackling version is the one that would get approval from the heat foundation

i have to say these podcasts are brilliant, keep up the good work yellow fever!! it really keeps you up to date with all things phoenix. while we are at it, lets push for more coverage of the nix in the dominion on the sports pages coz we only get a quarter of a page and the rest is full of rugby.

The DomPost is great to the Phoenix, and football in general.

Full page article on Terry today (specifically relating to the Phoenix).

it's my first post so here goes
 
 
thats the info on Dukla Prague
 
As for Half Man Half Biscuit I eccommend anyone checking them out a bit more there are plenty of football references scattered amongst their songs
 
eg "The Referees Alphabet"
     "1966 and all that"
     " I was a teenage armchair honved fan"
 
Ealy HMHB stuff is a bit mlore punky than later stuff where Nigel's influnces started getting broader but all of it is genius.
 
 
cheers

hardcase

they seem to show classic 'iron curtain' pragmatism in their kit choice, with those home and away kits they would have saved a bomb on textile dyes
