 It was a simple enough plan. 12.00pm outside Central Station in Glasgow, as agreed by all parties. They eventually, one by one started to arrive. Shammy was first to turn up, bottle of Buckfast in hand and Celtic hoodie on to boot. Deaf rolled up next, looking overdressed for the occasion in a shiny new black suit. Said he had just been for another job interview, no great shock to the system there. Eventually Craig appeared, fresh off the train from Edinburgh and looking as comfortable on this side of the Country as a tampon at an orgy. Mackers was in severe danger of missing the trip. The contact number she had given was going straight to answer phone (it was quite hard to make out the numbers on the public toilet wall in truth). Fortunately she turned up just in time, and with Manky strapped to the roof rack and Scott in the boot they set off, with Shammy's 1999 Happy Hardcore CD belting out the "choons"

THAT WAS THE WEEK....2
ALLEZ LES ROUGES?
Were you there? What was it like? Were there audible gasps and wallets flapping to get hands on one? No-one? Anyone? I didn’t think so.
This week’s ‘launch’ (I use the term lightly) of the new England away strip seems to have passed many of us by. This is a surprise in itself considering the marketing fanfare that usually accompanies such things. No Beckham, Gerrard et al?
So when Kasabian’s singer Tom Meighan modeled the new design at a concert in front of two thousand Parisians, it was something of a damp squib. It was as welcome as seeing Archie Gemmill wearing Celtic’s new training kit at Rangers end of season awards party.

THAT WAS THE WEEK....
PROFESSIONAL EVOLUTION?
This week, Ross Hutchins, best friend and ‘roomy’ of Andy Murray spilt the beans on what our talismanic Scot does to relax. He chills out with Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer.
I wonder if the various releases of Konami’s annual football fest have found their way into Murray’s on court game. Slight improvement year-on-year but glitches remain. This year, for example, has seen a glossy and professional appearance, somewhat unrealistic tricks that come off against the odds but all punctuated by the occasional laggy performance.
“Andy is so much better than me but he’s been playing for years” said Hutchins. “He’s a big Barcelona fan and he plays as them a lot.”
Don’t feel too bad Ross. You wouldn’t be the first to be on the receiving end of a Barca-bashing!
If only Murray could, like a computer game, choose to play as ‘the best’ in a Grand Slam Final. One that’s so much better than everyone else - at the flick of a button.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring. The gentle drum of groaning bellies rose and fell against the bursting jackets of five Premiership managers, weary from the hours of banqueting. Sleeping off the last drops of expensive liqueur, their eyes lay dormant, defeated by the stinging clouds of Cuban cigar smoke and the subtle crack of dwindling firewood lapped at their gluttonous, over indulgent bodies. Beneath the table, fifteen mice scavenged at the morsels that fell from the dribbling mouths while occasionally, one or two would dare to creep onto the cloth and nibble at the ravaged carcass of the festive bird.
Something caused Fergie to stir in his coma. Slowly rising above him was a ghostly form that transposed from red devil to the unmistakable figure of Matt Busby. Fergie pushed back in his seat, his eyes transfixed on the image that hovered above him.
