Not like us I thought, we're turning the corner at last, undeterred I dialled the enticing beacon of hope. Three minutes of warnings about the cost of the call, hurry up....I'm thinking, get on with it, I'll tell me ma later and promise to pay, it's going to be a blockbuster.
Claus Thomsen? What.....Claus 'effin Thomsen? From Ipswich? Danish international? F*** Off Everton, F** off Clubcall , F*** off Teletext. Dont get me started on watching the results coming through pre Sky with a crumpled Stanley fixed odds coupon in my hand.
