Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier sends scouts out round the world looking for a new striker to replace Emile Heskey, and hopefully win Liverpool the title.
One of his scouts informs him of a young Iraqi striker who he thinks will turn out to be a true superstar. So Gerard flies to Iraq to watch him and is suitably impressed, and arranges for him to come over to Anfield.
Two weeks later Liverpool are 4-0 down at home to Man Utd with only 20 minutes left. Houllier gives the young Iraqi striker the nod to go on, and takes off Emile Heskey. The lad is a sensation, scores 5 in 20 minutes and wins the game for Liverpool. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star.
When he comes off the pitch he phones his Mum to tell her about his first day in English football.
"Hi Mum, guess what?" he says. "I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-0 down, but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the players and the media, they all love me".
"Great," says his Mum, "let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were attacked and beaten, and your brother has joined a gang of looters, while you were having a great time".
The young lad is very upset. "What can I say Mum, I'm so sorry."
"Sorry?!" says his Mum ...
"It's your fault we came to Liverpool in the first place!"

Was looking at the comments over on fb to this post and it’s great to see no one is listening to this nonsense any more. People saying they’ve the heating back on now again last few nights!
Is this media outlet funded by the government in any shape of form, and if so, what happens to them and others like them if that funding dries up because their customer base has already!
@Variety They wanted to be faithful to the original Stargate instead of a DEI slopfest... And for that crime it got cancelled.
I fucking hate these people.
Martin Gero's planned Stargate revival TV series has been cancelled at Amazon, just seven months after it was first announced.
