JP: Craig, you've been to see Manchester City. How was
it?

CS. Er, grim.

JP: Grim? Really? Well once again, you see, because
people always assume that I've got loads of technology
available to me here and lots of people rushing about
giving me bits of paper like they do on television. In
fact I'm Just watching the television so erm...

CS: [...]

JP: Oh right yeah. Okay go on, tell us all about it

CS: Well I mean the first half we were all over them.
It's a typical City game, y'know. Ye were like totally
outplayed, and they're rubbish anyway, West Ham, it's
got to be said. [.. .] but erm no we were all over
them in the first half and I don't know what he puts
in the tea in the second half but erm we were like
kinda zombies when we came back on. There weren't any
good players apart from er Rocastle which I thought
was

JR: [...] that one little thing where he sort of...

......

CS: Yeah we do we play lots of football, loads of
passing, they play too much football, they're just
kind of er. . . everyone's like looking for a passing
opportunity rather than like a scoring opportunity.

JP: Not going to go down though, are they, Craig?

CS: Er.. .I don't know. Everyone else in er. ..
everyone else thinks we're gonna go down but they've
just like suddenly come out of closets, y'know,
they've like discovered their grandfather was a
United fanfar.

JP: Right

CS: ...some years back It's like the whole of
Manchester at the moment anyway

JP: I was told you see, I was always told er the
conventional wisdom was that .... that
isn't the case any more.

CS: Well the true Mancunian is the Man City fan, I
find.

JR: (laughs)

CS: I mean they're all reds really aren't they and er.
