At the recent ManUtd-Liverpool game,SAF goes into the changing room to find all his players looking a bit glum. "What’s up?” he asks.
“Well, we’re having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it’s important but it’s only Loserpool and we can’t be bothered, we always beat them”.
SAF looks at them and says, “Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub.”
...
So SAF goes out to play for the Reddevils by himself and the rest of the team go off for a few beers. After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the television on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads “Manutd 1 - Liverpool 0 (SAF 10 minutes).” He is beating Loserpool all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers “It must be full time now, let’s see how he got on.” They put the tele on. “Result from OT: Manutd 1 (SAF 10 minutes) - Liverpool 1 (Gerrard 89 minutes).”
They can’t believe it; he has single-handedly gotten a draw!! They rush back to OT to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. He says, “I’ve let you down, I’ve let you down.”
“Don’t be daft, you got a draw, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very very end!” the players say.
To which SAF replies: “No, No, I have, I’ve let you down… I got sent off after 12 minutes”
