Haaallo Naaail 0 Posted March 16, 2011 Roy Keane went to Colney to pay Lambert a visit before this season''s derby, it''s been revealed!!Apparently Roy wanted to know just what it was that made lambert''s side tick as he couldn''t understand why they had been doing so well after just being promoted. When he asked the question, Lambert replied, "I look for clever players, Roy, not just in terms of being clever on the field but off it as well, you get me?"Keane frowned and said he didn''t really understand, so Lambert told him he''d show him what he meant. "Wes, just come over here a minute and pay Mr Keane a little visit," he said. When Hoolahan got over to the two of them, Lambert said, "Wes, I want to show Roy what I mean about having clever players, so answer this... Who is your father''s brother''s son''s cousin?""It''s me, gaffer," Wes replied, and satisfied, Lambert sent him back to train, before turning to Roy. "See what I mean by clever players?""Ayy, I tink so..." Come derby day, in the away dressing room prior to the big kick-off, Roy wanted to see how clever his players were and so asked them all who their father''s brother''s son''s cousin was, yet all of the Ipswich players looked blankly at each other. Dejected, Roy asked them to think about it and to have an answer by half time, because he believed that it would mean greater success for his side.10 minutes in to the game, Leadbitter took out Holt. Not wanting to get in to a fight in which he had no chance of winning, Leadbitter was quick to say sorry and offer Holt his hand, which he took, before asking, "Grant, can I just ask you, who is your father''s brother''s son''s cousin?"Holt was quick to reply, "It''s me," before jogging off to get on with the game. At half-time, with Ipswich trailing and down to 10 men, Keano was fuming and therefore wanted someone to now answer his question. So once again, he asked his team who their father''s brother''s son''s cousin was.Now Leadbitter knew his manager would not be happy if he got the answer wrong but he knew he was right and wouldn''t tell him that he''d asked Holt for the answer, so he stood up confidently, cleared his throat, looked Keane in the eye and said, "Gaffer, my father''s brother''s son''s cousin is Grant Holt!"If only looks could kill... Keane''s eyes widened, his skin reddening, a sadistic look on his face. How was it that Norwich''s players were so much smarter than his own. He now realised that no matter what he did, his team would never achieve anything. He eye-balled Leadbitter before snarling, "What, are you f*****n stupid or something," in his broad Irish accent. "You''re all bloody thick, the lot of ya!! It''s such a simple question, yet you can''t work out the answer! Why the f*** am I here, putting up with you lot?!"Leadbitter looked down at the floor, before asking his boss, "So who is my father''s brother''s son''s cousin, Gaffer?"Keane couldn''t believe he still hadn''t worked it out and had to give them the answer. These were grown men we were talking about...."Isn''t it obvious," he said. "It''s Wes f****n Hoolahan." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 0 Posted March 18, 2011 The old ones are always the best!I first heard this about10-15 years ago. Instead of Norwich and the bucket of slosh down the road it was Arsenal and Man Utd.And it was Wenger proving the intelligence of European footballers over English ones. Dennis Berkamp instead of Wes and Beckham was Leadbitter and instead of getting help from the opposition he asked Jaap Stam as he is a european as well.Its interesting to see how the jokes survive and get altered to suit.
