The Charge Of The Light Brigade
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Memorializing Events in the Battle of Balaclava, October 25, 1854
Written 1854
Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack & Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke,
Shatter'd & sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse & hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
Hey,
Henry's handball has got the whole football world talking. What better time for another Great Debate? Should Henry have owned up? Is he a cheat? Should FIFA have allowed a replay? Have your say in the great debate!

Hey,
After what is being called 'the greatest injustice in sport', the question is, what on earth is FIFA doing?

Guido, after the Henry handball yesterday, I have decided that replay must be implemented in the beautiful game somehow. Please tell me your reaction.

Hey,
The Bottom Corner Returns!
We're looking at a common problem both Manchester United and England are facing.

Yes, the Bundesliga is one of the more competitive leagues and also has a great fan base. I was lucky enough to catch a game in Berlin between Hertha and Werder Bremen a few years ago, it was fantastic.
I actually mentioned it in a post I wrote about the Bundesliga season opener this year, on my blog.

Check it out if you get a chance.
Thanks again,

Thanks for becoming a fan, I appreciate it.
Keep up the great Bundesliga coverage. It's the most well run league in the world in my opinion and it doesn't get enough credit.

No Probs Guido. Indeed I did but I've recently got paranoid about having my name on the internet. So I've decided to pay tribute to worlds greatest drummer instead. I'm enjoying your latest articles!

Just send me a draft.
I'd have to research on this end.
Sorry i got your message late.

Some interesting stats from the first weeks in the EPL.
I'd be interested in your opinion.
Cheers,
Joe

DeleteHey,
Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!
