(enter J.Mouson)


J Mouson: Wow, what a result! Quite a surprise I must say.

Who would of though that Daniel could inflict such a defeat on the famous Lions team. Err sorry, forgot to introduce myself…

My name is John Mouson your ace sports reporter and as you join me here, just outside the Lion’s dressing room, we are waiting to interview their player manager, Sven Goran Lionson.


(enter Sven)

Sven: O yah yah, dat is me John.


J Mouson: So Sven, bit of a turn up for the book really. A big disappointment for you and the lads?


Sven: Well, yes, yes that is true, we did not do verry weal at all.


J Mouson: Daniel was just too strong for you then?


Sven: I am not so shuuure, you know. The boys have been training particularly hard and I was almost positif that we could get a good result. What with Leo Beckham back to his full fitness and Javed Seaman at the back for us, but we were chust out played.


J Mouson: By Daniel? One man out played four lions??


Sven: No, there wasn’t chust one man, there were the angels too.


J Mouson: Just a minute, there were angels too in there.


Sven: Yes of course, it was them that came and shut our mouths.


J Mouson: Really?


Sven: Yes, yes, then they made us go to sleep.




J Mouson: Come on Sven, all this talk of angels and being made to go to sleep, you just weren’t up for this match were you. You weren’t hungry enough for the contest?


Sven: Not hungry enough! Look here John, how would you like to conduct this interview from a different angle?


J Mouson: Errr, you don’t mean……


Sven: Yes, I could be giving you a first in depth interview from an

Insider’s view, inside me!


J Mouson: Erm No thanks Sven, if that’s all right, sorry I upset you.


Sven: OK…..Well I can promise you one thing John, next match we get,

I can promise you, the lads will be really up for it, you’ll see.


J Mouson: Thanks Sven. (Sven exits, Leo walks past looking dejected).
Err, Leo, Leo any chance of a quick word for the viewers.


Leo: Well not much to say really John, when Daniel’s playing with God

on his side we didn’t really stand much chance of getting a result did we?


J Mouson: No, I guess not Leo, there really were Angels involved too then?


Leo: Yep, God looks after those who are his. Bye John, got to dash, Victoria’s expecting me to take her and the cub to the animal theme park.


Junior: (JJ pops up) Is it time to go now dad?


Leo: Yes, Junior……come on…Ta-ra John.


(Leo & Junior exit, and Javed comes into view)


J Mouson: Hi there, Javed, can you explain about what happened back there?


Javed: Only thing I remember is this ere angel surrounded by a bright light, I was blinded to the spot, couldn’t see a thing; no wonder really with God playing on Daniel’s side; maybe we should all ask for a transfer.

(exit Javed)

J Mouson: Well, viewers, that’s something to think about. This is John Mouson handing you back to the studio.
