					The Liverpool   manager, Rafael Benitez, flies to  Bagdad to watch a young Iraqi play
  football, and is suitably impressed and arranges him to come  over to   Anfield.
  
  Two weeks later  Liverpool are 4-0 down to  Chelsea   with only 20 minutes left
   
   
   
        to play. The manager gives the  young Iraqi striker the nod and on he goes.
The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals 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 the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell  her about his first day in English football.
'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today,  and we were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we won, Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me.'
'Wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed; your sister and I were ambushed, gang raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters and all while you were having such a great time playing bloody football.'
The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm so sorry.'
Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' shrieks his mum, "It's your bloody fault we moved to  Liverpool in the first Place.
