are apparently entitled
to say what they like.
You haven't grown up,
you're a moron.
Your conversation
is trivial and boorish.
You can't express
your emotional needs.
You can't relate
to your children
and you die -
lonely and miserable.
But you know, what the hell?
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Not on your own.
How many more times?
You'll have to wait
until your father's over.
So I'll get to Highbury
five times a year?
It's not my fault
Mum, they play 21 times a year
plus Cup matches. That's...
Mum, why is Crossroads a motel?
What d'you mean?
Why isn't it just a hotel?
29! If they get to
the League Cup semi-final,
the FA Cup quarter-final...
You can take your car there.
You forgot Europe.
I don't know how many
games last season.
Oh, yeah.
That's another five games.
That hotel in Devon,
we took our car.
Every round is home and away.
We had to leave it
in the car park.
Fives into thirty-five
goes seven.
One-seventh of all
the home games. Pathetic!
Paul, in a motel,
you drive a car into a room!
Say you only went to one-seventh
your Choral Society
They'd throw you out.
Arsenal won't throw you out.
They want your money.
I've looked it up.
I can catch the 12.53
to Paddington,
be at Paddington by 1.36,
get the Circle and District
and Metropolitan Line
to Kings Cross.
Then it's Caledonian Road,
Holloway Road,
Arsenal, third stop.
Be there 2.15, easy.
For Christ's sake,
go if you want to.
Yes! Thanks, Mum.
Charlie, Charlie,
Charlie's the King of Highbury.
Don't come runnin' to me
if you get stabbed to death.
I won't.
Jimmy Husband! Brilliant.
It's not easy
It takes years.
But if you put in the hours,
you're welcomed,
without question,
into a new family.
Except in this family,
you care about the same people
and hope for the same things.
A terrible foul
by McLintock on Rocastle.
He'll be lucky
to stay on the pitch.
It wasn't THAT bad.
It was mistiming,
it wasn't malicious.
Bollocks!
So, that's a free kick
to 1989 Arsenal
And...
Goal!
And that's 1989 Arsenal four,
1971 Arsenal, nil.
Bob Wilson will be
bitterly disappointed
with that one.
the Double team
four-nil at Subbuteo.
It's just I'm crap at it!
Should've chosen someone else.
Who else played in yellow
and blue away strip?
- Everton?
- Be Everton, then.
OK. But this game's abandoned.
I can't start
suddenly pretending
that John Radford's Joe Royle.
It'd do my head in.
Have to start again.
Nil-nil.
All right. Go on, then.
Yes!
What are you thinking about?
- Oh... stuff.
- What stuff?
I was thinking about
DH Lawrence, actually.
Yeah?
What about him?
Well...
Well... about his books.
What about his books?
Just... which one's the longest.
And?
I- I couldn't remember.
Well, which one did
That's just it.
I couldn't decide.
Between what and what?
Mm...
Well, "Lady
Chatterley's Lover"...
- And...?
- And, um...
I wasn't thinking
You amaze me.
I'm staggered.
We might win
the League this year.
We're half-way through
the season and we're top
and they'll f*** it up but...
You're not impressed, are you?
I am. I hope
they win the League.
It's just that...
Why did you lie?
I've got to vary the answers.
I can't say Arsenal every time.
I can't find any... "Bread".
Do I look like the sort of man
who'd have a "Bread" album?
No, you look like
the kind of man
who has a "Bollock Brothers"
album.
I wouldn't put that on.
It's a bit... not the right mood.
Oh?
And what's the right mood?
Well, I don't know, just...
something... you know.
What?
You know, just...
something not as...
sweary and loud.
Paul, that's the most
romantic thing
you've ever said to me.
Shut up.
By the way,
congratulations.
On what?
Two-nil. Quinn and Dixon.
Goal in each half.
Top of the League.
Nine games to go.
George Graham sees no reason
why Arsenal shouldn't bring
the title back to Highbury
for the first time in 16 years.
18 years.
I'm sure he said 16.
Oh, right. Maybe I'm wrong.
Yeah, OK, OK. 18. Whatever.
So, when does it all end?
May.
And what happens
then, in the summer?
Just sit in the park
and wait for the fixture
list to come out.
So what about this summer?
That's a good point.
We might be
in the Charity Shield.
That isn't the point
I was making.
We've been...
seeing each other -
well, we've been
sleeping together
for six months now.
And we've never even planned
a holiday together.
It's a miracle
if we plan a weekend
before Friday afternoon.
And yet you know
what Arsenal are doing
for months in advance.
Well, I can do that for you.
Give me your diary
and I'll put some dates in it.
Don't be daft.
What's daft about it?
I don't really see
the difference.
How about Saturday,
October the 8th?
Let's go away somewhere.
I haven't got next season's
fixture list yet.
You know you're seeing
Arsenal next year.
You can't say whether
you'll be seeing me.
So what? Everyone's like that.
You know you'll be seeing
your sister next season.
Sisters don't have seasons.
Whatever.
Look, I know where this is going
and you're dead wrong.
I'm capable of commitment
and all that stuff.
If it doesn't happen with you,
that's because of you, not me.
21 years I've been
going to Arsenal.
21 years.
Paul, I don't know
whether you've noticed
but Arsenal are a football team.
And you think
there's a difference?
Yes, I do.
That shows what
you know about it.
'.. Will need a fitness test
'shortly before kick-off. '
That looked like Rocky.
Jo, go back to
the news a minute.
It's only the local news.
I know. It looked like Rocky.
Who looked like Rocky?
Who the hell is Rocky?
Doesn't matter.
We've missed it now.
that "Rocky"
is an Arsenal player.
Yeah, David Rocastle.
And how do you know
what he looks like?
Well, I don't know.
What else has sunk in?
D'you know where they are
in the Championship Cup
and who their best
goal-hanger is?
I'm not turning into a moron.
OK, I know they're
top of the League.
That's easy to remember.
And I know that
Alan "Smudger" Smith
has scored most of the goals.
But it doesn't...
I'm going next week.
You're going?
Yeah.
To a football match?
Yeah. I thought I should.
Ooh. I tell you, girl,
Soon after Tim and I split up,
I woke up one morning
and realised I could
remember his batting average
for the previous season.
Harmless enough, isn't it?
No!
It's all a sinister form
of male manipulation.
Rubbish!
It's true!
You get colonised.
Your native culture
gets driven out
and it's replaced by stuff
you don't even wanna know about.
They're like
bloody missionaries.
They bore you stupid
until you cave in
