Martin O’Neill has signed a new foreign super-kid.
On the new boy’s first day of training, O’Neill picks up a ball and shouts very slowly:
'You get this and kick it at the goal.'
The new super-kid looks a bit bewildered but carries on nonetheless.
The next day at training, exactly the same thing happens.
O’Neill stops play, scoops the ball up and shouts - even slower than last time:
'You get this and score a goal.'
Again the young foreign kid looks discombobulated, but carries on.
On the third day, it happens again:
'You get this and score a goal.'
This time, the foreign super-kid finally cracks, so shouts to his new manager:
'Boss, I speak very good English and know what to do!'
O’Neill says:
'Not you son, I’m talking to Heskey!'

As said, in my match report (my opinion only) I said he put in good effort etc, I SO WANT him to do well, I'm told he is a top chap, really nice fella. That doesn't mean you can't have the odd joke though!
However, if it annoyed or offended anyone, I apologise, not the intention, never the intention and I've booked a session of spanking later to make reporation. Then again, I'd have done that anyway... :o)
Not quite the origin niblot, it is an old joke, but yes, must admit I hadn't noticed it on newsnow until I went on later and it was no1 in the newslist, I had this one emailed to me. It also did the rounds via text in the summer!
