The Mail Bag

Blankety Blank! Top prize on offer!

"The FA have to do their job, I have to do my job, I had my opinion at the time. The referee has since contacted me ? that conversation will remain private ? and that is it.

"We have a Respect campaign that is really important but you can?t just put a big label on it. You earn respect and I have to say the referee has earned a great deal more respect from me by what he has said from me."

Top drawer quote from Moysie, but can you guess what it was Mr Wiley said?

Keith Hackett's job is the prize for the funniest response!

" ... that linesman?s a tosser. I?ll never work with him again - I thought it was a pen. in the first place but some Stoke fan had threatened to shove the flag up his arse a bit earlier and I felt sorry for him so I just gave a free-kick to keep everyone happy.. "

"I?m a Wiley old sod aren?t I? There will probably be no penalties to come for the rest of the season, Moyes the pity..."

DM - Hello?
Wiley - Hello is that David Moyes?
DM - Aye yes it is, and who?s this?
Wiley - Well it?s Alan Wiley, David.
DM - Oh, hi there Alan Wiley David. What can I do for you ?
Wiley - Well it concerns the game on Sunday and your comments afterwards. I thought I?d better give you a call and explain a few things.
DM - Well go on then, spit it out son.
Wiley - Well, how can I put this? Ok, here goes - Oh shit, I fucked up!
DM - Yes you did, son, yes you did.
Wiley - Can we do some football blah blah now?
DM - No fuck off! Oh sorry I don?t swear.

Wiley: Where was the foul?
Linesman: In the area, gov
Wiley: Shit! I can’t give them a penalty
Linesman: Why not?
Wiley: FFS, they’re Everton, we don’t give them penalties, we have the Sky4 to think about
Linesman: Right. But they had one the other week
Wiley: We forgot ourselves, but they missed, thankfully
Linesman: Right
Wiley: So, outside the box then?
Linesman: What about the cameras?
Wiley: I’ll just call Moyes and admit I screwed up
Linesman: Right. Outside the box it was

Wiley: Hello Dave
Moyes: Hi Alan, what can I do for you?
Wiley: Well, you know how you said in the press that you wanted an apology if I was wrong about the penalty?
Moyes: I think I see where this is going, Alan, can I just say that I think this is very big of you.
Wiley: Thanks David, now shut your mouth in the press and concentrate on coaching your team. The FA have already given you one disrepute charge and if you breathe a word of this conversation to the media then you’ll be up on another one. Ginger prick. Oh, and the FA say they’ll go easier on you if you say some nice things about the ’respect’ campaign.

Picture the scene. DM sitting in the Finch Farm canteen hears Z Cars humming in his pocket, looks at the screen, Alan Wiley, Dave smiles, make the little James Hunt wait, Wiley on the other end trying to decide what to say, ’Hi Dave mate no, no good ’Hello Davey no doesn’t sound right’, ’is that Mr Moyes to informal oh shite what am I going to say’. After 10 rings DM answers. "Yessssss" he says in a Scottish, this should be good, type voice. "Hi Sir" says Wiley. "Alan here remember last year after the Blackburn game when I said I’d never screw up again well Doh , done it again, but at least you got three points this season didn’t ya hey, that’s good isn’t it. That Yakubu’s good isn’t he boss, and what about Arteta hey and Cahills back and I think you do a great job and and " goes quiet then in a low voice AW says "You won’t tell Keith off me will you"
