When I go on Mastermind in Spring 2009 (not confirmed) I think i'm going to do my first specialist knowledge round on "The collected thoughts of Michael X. Stephenson". That'd be sweet and i've decided to watch Boots N All for some revision.
(As a quick note if I get through to the second round I will be using the medical works of Dr Terry "Ter-reh" O'Connor, the next one will be the inner workings of the Henry Hoover).
They start off discussing the 28 penalties awarded in the Warrington v Wigan game. Eddie isn't happy, are they reaching the damp depths of Rugby Union? Well they are showing the first penalty try of the year so maybe. However Eddie obviously doesn't have enough to do as he is very angry. Phil Clarke is trying to add calm him down, but according to Eddie "It was a two point ball-game". I suppose that means he can't award penalties as it could influence the result. Cue bemoaning the pressure on the referees, even though all the pressure comes from Eddie and Michael X. Stephenson.
The best part of last week's game, of course, was the perfect commentary after the tackle on Matt King. As he lay passed out with doctors applying a neck brace Terry opined (in all seriousness) "He'll be lucky to come back on"
Phil Clarke notes that what gets you to a Grand Final is "hassling, hustling and bustling!". He would make a great coach that man.
Quite frankly that all bores me, but it moves onto other areas. Such as will Warrington get a Super League licence? You may say yes and hit me for wasting your precious time, but Angela Powers is asking that very question.
First she looks at the awesome stadium that is Halliwell-Jones.
It boasts:
Clean Loos
Covered Seats
Standing areas
Swish and unfortunately worth pointing out when compared to other RL grounds
Then she looks to see if Warrington is solvent and funnily enough it is. This is such a massive waste of time, which I assume is the point. The conclusion is that they will get a licence, I am now starting a one man campaign to deny Warrington a licence to show up Angela. Nothing will give me greater pleasure than this (apologies to Adrian Morley).
The chairman of Warrington points out that they bring a lot to the competition and that this can not be overlooked 'We take a lot of fans to away games and clubs love playing us". This is, for those who don't know, the fabled thirteenth point that needs to be ticked even though it can not be measured and has not been detailed by the RFL. Can you imagine if the RFL used this as a reason for rejecting a team? I can and I can also imagine the law-suits. It is going to be sweet.
And that's it.
Hang on, where the fuck is Stevo? I've been sat watching complete and utter arse for an hour, just waiting for his piercing blue eyes, why else would I watch such crap? What a waste of fucking time.
The cricket will cheer me up, that's bound to be good.
