Bosh is back for the new season, looking back at a topsy turvey opening match on the pitch and more madness in the board room.
Life in the R’s lane - Bosh Times
QPR. The club that makes an episode of 24 look uneventful kicked off the 2007/8 season with an impressive last gasp draw against the new West Country boys, famous for having six toes on each foot and for being married to their own sisters. Earlier in the day new boy Ben Sahaaaaaaghhhhh had lived up to his surname, celebrating both his eighth birthday and first team call up by exploding his own appendix.
With both Sahaaaaaghhhh and new boy Simon ‘Good night John boy’ Walton playing temporarily alongside each other for Holby City, VMB (Vlad Marmite Bonce) Gregory was forced to field a slightly weakened team at the end of the M4. For Chelsea fans reading this, the M4 is a motorway, not the convertible coupe version of the M5.
Unlucky Walton suffered a freak broken leg a week ago when his pen accidentally slipped whilst signing his contract.
“That was very bad luck for the boy,” conceded VMB. “Walton looked like a very good prospect between the door and the desk.”
“I was pleased with our nous and professionalism,” commented the gaffer after the Bristol City team had taken to their post match bath to celebrate a 2-1 win only to discover that the game hadn’t actually finished, and that to make matters worse, centre back Stewpid had nipped in to nick the Rangers equalizer. “I think City paid for a bit of naivety and in fact even for a minute or two after Stewpid scored their lads were actually already in the bar.”
As Rangers toiled to get a well earned point on day one VMB also reassured the fans that the missing number ten shirt would be filled in the next few weeks or months.
“My scouts and backroom staff have been hard at work,” admitted the gaffer. “We know how important that shirt number is to the team and the fans and we won’t fill it lightly. That’s why I can finally reveal that we have been tracking a lad called OG for several seasons. This OG kid has scored goals at every level, consistently as well. You look in the papers each week and this OG guy seems to have scored at least two goals in most divisions every week, and for quite a few seasons now. I can’t say too much but we’re confident of convincing the lad to come here. I think everyone would be pleased to see OG's name above the fabled number 10 shirt.”
Meanwhile behind the scenes club supremo GTEnni Spareusadimebar played down the rumour that F1’s favourite hobbit Ernie Feckallson and Nicole Pappa Nicole Pappa Nicole Pappa racing team owner Flavouro Nicole Pappa Brillitore were about to take over the club.
“I went down to Silverstone to see if I could talk to Ernie but he was out on the track doing laps in his miniature Scalextric FI car,” explained the Rangers head honcho. “So it was more a one way conversation that went something like…. Ern…. U…. Flav…. It….. Great….. buy…. Club…. Yes? As he zoomed past. I feel confident he took it all in, even though he doesn’t know me from Adam. In fact I think he knows Adam better than me?”
Earlier in the week departing legend Cookie Monster donated his transfer fee back to the club he loves.
“We explained to Lee that he could either donate 250k but that it wasn’t essential,” Pileofdingbats explained. “We said we thought it would be a good gesture and explained that dependent on his wishes either way we wanted to commemorate his name by naming a stand after him if he did and a quarry after him if he didn’t. The good news is that one of the stands will shortly bear his name. The bad news is that we still don’t have a name for our chalk mine.”
One question on most people’s lips this close season has been why Stepvan Mortuary, Mad Dog Chewie and why oh why Zeb Rainman again?
New club coach Mick Hardfokker explained how he’s managed to get the best out of Mortuary and co in pre-season.
“Basically the simplest thing I’ve done with Stepvan is jump out of his wardrobe at his home at 4 am each morning with a big pair of crashing cymbals. I’ve also set his alarm to go off with his mattress placed in swimming pools full of sharks. The idea has been to either liven him up or get him off the payroll. Unfortunately he’s bucked up but never mind.”
Hardfokker also went on to explain how he’s finally had Mini Chewbacca neutered. “It’s really pepped the lad up. Now when I see him flagging I play the castanets with his gonads on the sidelines and he goes completely nuts, running about barking, the whole lot. It’s the ultimate ball training exercise for him. Harsh but fair. It’s all about toughening these lads up isn’t it? That’s why I did the operation on Ben myself today using a chisel and I broke Walt’s right leg so he doesn’t moan about the other one. Zeb’s had a hard time here and I realise that, but in my opinion and the gaffers’ Zeb is better than John Terry. Not at football obviously but he’d take him to the cleaners in a spelling B.”
And as mindless terrorism returned to the streets of London again in the shape of the Evening Standard fears for Rangers first home game were finally laid to rest with the news that the movement of cattle during the foot and mouth scare has finally been relaxed, meaning that Cardiff and their fans will be allowed to travel to Loftus Road next week.
