Another traditional motif in the story is Joseph and Mary making the journey to Bethlehem, with Mary riding on Joseph's ass.

They were travelling to Bethlehem, on a holiday weekend, with no hotel reservations? Damn right, she rode his ass! What the hell did he expect?

It's the wait that does my head in. Why can't have the play offs in December?

1 nil against San Marino makes me feel slightly better about the Liectenstein game!

I sincerely hope that will be the case. I'm still willing to snog Joe Jordan if that's what it takes to make this happen.

I take it back. Can we swap the Italians for the Irish?

Please no. I would rather kiss Joe Jordan on the lips than play the Irish again.

Please not the Irish.
