Earnie meets Worthy, post-match

"Boss, can I have a word?"

"Yes, Earnie"

"Um, bit worried"

"What about, son?"

"Well, it's a small thing ..."

"Spit it out lad. Worried Thorney'll keep you out? Keep up the hard work on Mousehold and you'll get your chance"

"No, it's not that. No, it's really not that"

"Well?"

"Just that, well, you know, um, you got f**king stuffed out of site and there doesn't appear to be any service to the strikers."

"We, Earnie - you're part of the team now: WE got f**king stuffed"

"Yeah ... We ... Look, sorry boss, just calling it how I see it"

"Effort and Commitment, Earnie. Effort and Commitment. Capital E, capital C. Notmean?"

"And that's great and everything, but we really need someone on the right side to put in a few crosses. Perhaps someone in the middle to put their foot on the ball. Someone who can pass maybe? At Cardiff and West Br-"

"Well you're not there now, Earnie! We do things a bit different here. Alf Ramsey didn't have wingers and he won the World Cup! I'm getting a bit worried about your head son"

"That's what the dentist said!"
