00:00 - 00:03That's where the helicopter flew
00:04 - 00:05John Coates on the way to Plymouth
00:05 - 00:07We never stood a chance
00:08 - 00:12He landed it on bloody Plymouth Hoe
00:12 - 00:15Straight down to Home Park
00:17 - 00:19We allowed him to whisk Schumacher away
00:19 - 00:21From right under our noses
00:24 - 00:26Mr Dewsnip, what can I say?
00:27 - 00:28I was shocked
00:31 - 00:33We didn't think he'd come by air
00:34 - 00:36We only know about boats in Plymouth
00:53 - 00:58Everyone out save for Nancekivell, Turner & Dickinson
01:13 - 01:15How did this happen?
01:15 - 01:17We gave him all the scouse he could eat!
01:18 - 01:23The players had language lessons so they could understand him
01:25 - 01:28We gave his useless mates Hughes and Cavanagh jobs
01:29 - 01:31We even upped his salary by a tenner in the summer
01:31 - 01:34Threw in a free pasty every Friday
01:34 - 01:37Paid every last penny we had for Whittaker
01:37 - 01:40Persuaded Azaz & Cundle to sign on loan
01:40 - 01:42Don't worry, Neil, we'll keep hold of them
01:42 - 01:46Keep hold of them, they'll all leave now, you see!
01:46 - 01:48We'll bring in a big name replacement
01:48 - 01:52Really? The last big name to come to Plymouth was Francis Drake!
01:53 - 01:54League One here we come!
01:56 - 01:57Derbies with Exeter, away days to Port Vale!
01:57 - 02:00I mean, where even is that?
02:00 - 02:03It is not a real place.....
02:04 - 02:08......and the people there don't wash
02:08 - 02:13We'll be back to signing players from Tiverton and Truro
02:14 - 02:16We'll have to beg Ginsters to come back to sponsor us
02:17 - 02:21Even if their pasties do taste like crap
02:27 - 02:29What about the Stokies?
02:30 - 02:34They'll mercilessly poke fun at us
02:34 - 02:36with their oatcakes and "ey up, duck"
02:41 - 02:42All for a bloke with a German name who I can't even understand
02:43 - 02:47Promised a few extra quid, some Grecian 2000 and elocution lessons for his kids
02:48 - 02:53What does Stoke have that we don't?
02:54 - 02:56Okay, a Premier League quality stadium & training ground
02:56 - 02:59Billionaire owners, a club not stuck at the arse end of nowhere
03:00 - 03:02Millions to invest in the squad, talented youngsters signed last summer
03:04 - 03:07Cheer up, I'll take you to the Swallow later
03:14 - 03:16I can't take being laughed at by Exeter fans
03:19 - 03:23The only manager we can get is one escaping Saudi
03:25 - 03:26but we still have Azaz & Cundle
03:31 - 03:33well, we do, don't we?
03:40 - 03:46You better focus on 20th April
03:46 - 03:49we must beat Stoke away
03:53 - 03:56though unlikely with Schuey at the wheel
