JP: Craig, you`ve been to see Manchester City. How was it?
CS. Er, grim.
JP: Grim? Really? Well once again, you see, because people always
assume that I`ve got loads of technology available to me here
and lots of people rushing about giving me bits of paper like
they do on television. In fact I`m Just watching the television
so erm...
CS: [...]
JP: Oh right yeah. Okay go on, tell us all about it
CS: Well I mean the first half we were all over them. It`s a
typical City game, y`know. Ye were like totally outplayed, and
they`re rubbish anyway, West Ham, it`s got to be said. [.. .]
but erm no we were all over them in the first half and I don`t
know what he puts in the tea in the second half but erm we were
like kinda zombies when we came back on. There weren`t any good
players apart from er Rocastle which I thought was
JR: [...] that one little thing where he sort of...
......
CS: Yeah we do we play lots of football, loads of passing, they
play too much football, they`re just kind of er. . . everyone`s
like looking for a passing opportunity rather than like a scoring
opportunity.
JP: Not going to go down though, are they, Craig?
CS: Er.. .I don`t know. Everyone else in er. .. everyone else
thinks we`re gonna go down but they`ve just like suddenly come
out of closets, y`know, they`ve like discovered their grandfather
was a United fanfar.
JP: Right
CS: ...some years back It`s like the whole of Manchester at the
moment anyway
JP: I was told you see, I was always told er the conventional
wisdom was that .... that isn`t the case any more.
CS: Well the true Mancunian is the Man City fan, I find.
JR: (laughs)
CS: I mean they`re all reds really aren`t they and er. . .
What upsets you really is that the training that you must have
in discussion at your own level regarding the existence of god
is far greater than everybody that`s ringing in tonight.
