Arsenals new striker Arsenal manager, Arsen Wenger sends scouts out round the World looking for a new striker to finally replace Sylvain Wiltord and hopefully win Arsenal the title. One of his scouts informs him of a young Iraqi strikerwho he thinks will turn out to be a true superstar. So Wenger flies to Iraq to watch him and is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over to Highbury. Two weeks later Arsenal are 4-1 down at home to Leeds with only 20 mins left. Wenger gives the young Iraqi striker the nod to go on and he takes off Pires. The lad is a sensation, scores 4 in 20 minutes and wins the game for the Gunner''''s. The fans are delighted (except for a few moaners in the Main Stand), the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star. When he comes off the pitch he phones his Mum to tell her about his first day in English football. "Hi Mum, guess what?" he says. "I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-1 down but I scored 4 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the players and the media, they all love me". "Great," says his Mum, "let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters, while you were having a great time". The young lad is very upset. "What can I say Mum, but I''''m so sorry". "Sorry!" says his Mum, "It''''s your bloody fault that we moved to London in the first place!" |
