Yahoo. I was staggering up past the Exeter away end; when who should be on the pavement escorting the Gas into the ground? None other than the mighty MM himself. So I goes up to him and says "Listen Mark i'm not going tell you how to do your job"! He replies "Don't try to bother then". So I continue " Ok, but look, we got to win mate, we got to win today". So he says "Ok,ok". He being a busy man turned his back on me and with my words still ringing in his ears shook his head from side to side and gestured quickly to the players hurrying them into the ground. I then continued to the Exeter supporters bar to down some more nectar. Mark must have taken my morale boosting talk to heart because I am sure his pre match pep talk must have gone something like this ... " Listen lads, Airbus Gas is in the crowd today, he has his new away shirt on but still manages to look like a tramp with his wild unkempt hair and smells like he has drunk six pints of Stella. However, that said I don't think I could face looking into his bloodshot puppy eyed face ever again if we dont win"... Now obviously some minor things like tactics also played their part but I am convinced my intervention before the game has done the trick. Problem is though, Mark now probably would like me to be his Lennie Lawrence type of guy, you know leaning against the dugout except with more than a hint of sherry on my breath and the occasional shirt covered down the front with some dinner. What do you all think?
I think it should be .... HOT Airbus!!!! So I expect you WILL be going ALL the remaining away games then HotMan!!!
