Another leaked transcript
Further to the photo released by the German FA over the weekend:
The actual transcript of the pre match meeting between Per Mertesacker and Joachim Low was passed on to me by my reliable source ‘Honest Bruce’ in The London Hotel on Saturday. This has been verified as 100% definite, absolutely genuine (it was on a beer mat for a well known German beer!) and has been kindly translated into English by ‘The Bread Knife’.
Per bursts into Low’s office: “Boss, need to have word about a couple of things.”
“Sure Per, shoot away”
“Well, I’ve been thinking, it’s not so tough being a footballer with the lifestyle, the money and all that, but it’s tough being a football fan, without the lifestyle, the money and all that.”
“Yes, go on”
‘Well you see, boss, I thought I’d do my bit to help. So, I want to change the name on the back of my shirt. See Mertesacker is really long and therefore, costs more money to put in the back of a shirt, so to save money I want BFG on the back now. It will save all my fans and the German FA some dough!”
“That’s very commendable Per. Anything else?”
“Well, yes boss. Being a footballer, is a privileged role and I believe we lose touch with mere mortals, so in the spirit of keeping it real, I want to experience life in another man’s shoes. Do you have any suggestions?”
“Well as a matter of fact, I do. Tomorrow, you can experience life like Bacary Sagna, you’re on the bench.”
“Scheiße!”
TheSundayMorningGooner is off to Fiji for work next week and while I’m there I’ll see if there are some ITK’s in the South Pacific 😉
