Hmm, I might have misread what you said. Still 16 own goals and 15 regular goals would be well received from us I think.

I'm glad you said that Mac because my brain was starting to melt trying to work out what you were on about.

16 own goals sounds good though. We'll run with that.

He might face some competition from Richard Dunne and Jamie Carragher, so hopefully it will erm spur him on.

Sorry.

That joke is a shcocker, Mac.

Besides, I think even good jokes should be banned on a black day like today.

Jack, how else do we make it through the day?

I don't know, Mac, but jocularity is not the order of the day.

This is our 9/11.

Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration.

But solemnity is appropriate.

Won't we be solemn from here to eternity?

Not long now, boys.

Lookin forward to it? I'll be watching it. Well, until 9.

Why until 9 Captain? The laughter can't be that strong surely?

I can't wait personally.

9?

What are you doing at 9?

Or more accurately, who are you doing at 9?

Burn Notice starts again tonight. Although i suppose i could suspend my excitement and check it out on plus one, hmm.

Okay, i'll watch all of your game unless you go two goals up.

Two goals up?

You'll be watching the entire game then. And laughing.

Jack, it's just a date with the tv. Nothing as exciting as melbourne sue coming round.

Actually, maybe it's more exciting. Nah.

Good.

I'll need you to tell me what happened in the game tomorrow, I won't be able to see much hiding behind the sofa.

Put your sofa up against the wall and then you got no where to hide, pal.

That's just begging me to crack my skull against the wall.

Gah. You've just made me realsie that this really is the worst week ever.

We're failing to qualify for the CL in the same week that Melbourne Sue moved house.

Off she goes for two years back in Oz with Mr Melbourne Sue and co. and her place is being taken for the duration by someone who is in a different league altogether. And from what I can gather that league is probably a feeder league for the Blue Square Premier whereas I've been used to some CL totty living next door.

Jack, you need to put in a transfer request to Australia.

Sorry to hear that Jack.

I guess you're gonna have to find a pub to stop off at on the way home just because the barmaid is hot.

A pub, that isnt actually technically on the way home, but 2 miles out of your way.

I could try that, Mac, but I'm betting it would only get the ok on the day she's due to fly back.

Good idea, Captain.

I'll find a pub with a hot barmaid.

And no TV.
