I'm in high spirits after my team, Sintellins, beat the Bradford Bottlers yesterday to reach the new Wembley for the cup final. In what could only be described as a battle of brain and brawn against brawn and brawn, the racehorses overcame the donkeys on a dry sunny day suited to running with, and passing, the ball.
To celebrate, here's a funny joke about St. Helens
An injury crisis strikes at Knowsley Road, and Daniel Anderson is desperate. Eamon McManus has been out to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Papau New Guinea, and has phoned every union and league club in the UK. Nobody is available.McManus knows someone has to be signed, and at the advice of a supporter, sets his sights on Iraq. He flies out and in the very first game he watches, he sees a brilliant scrum-half. He is lightning fast, can kick goals, has an excellent passing game and tackles hard. Mc approaches him after the game, and obviously the Iraqi lad is keen to sign on.2 weeks later, he's making his debut at Knowsley Road. Saints are losing 22-0 with 20 minutes to go when Anderson turns to him. "Get warmed up son." He goes on, and a miracle happens. 4 tries and conversions later, the Iraqi kid has won the game for Saints.After the game, everyone wants a piece of him. The fans sing his name, magnums of champagne and Tissot watches rain down on him, and he's overjoyed. He gets on the phone to his mum to tell her about his day."This is the best day of my life, mum, what a day. I scored 24 points to single-handedly win the game!""Well son," she replies. "I'm glad you've had a good day, because I'm afraid I've some bad news. Your father has been stabbed and shot, your brother has joined a gang of looters, and your sister and I have been raped and tormented.""Mum," he begs, "I'm so sorry to hear that.""SORRY?!" she yells incredulously. "It's YOUR fault we came to St. Helens in the first place!!!!"

And to finish off, here's Roy Haggerty, who's probably given me more laughs in a Saints' jersey than anyone else. Ironically, he isn't wearing one for this photo!
