A FOOTBALL JOKE! (but dont hold that against it!)

Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier sends scouts out round the world
looking for a new striker to replace Emile Heskey, and hopefully win
Liverpool the title.

One of his scouts informs him of a young Iraqi striker who he
thinks will turn out to be a true superstar.
So Gerard flies to Iraq to watch him, and is suitably impressed,
and arranges for him to come over to Anfield.

Two weeks later Liverpool are 4-0 down at home to Man Utd with only 20
minutes left. Houllier gives the young Iraqi striker the nod to go on,
and takes off Emile Heskey.

The lad is a sensation, scores 5 in 20 minutes and wins the game for
Liverpool. The fans are delighted, 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
4-0 down, but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the
players

"Great," says his Mum, "let me tell you about my day. Your father got
shot in the street, your sister and I were attacked 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, I'm so sorry."

"Sorry?" says his Mum

"Its your fault we moved to Liverpool in the first place!"
:lol:
