“Two or three days in the past I assumed it was a joke, as a result of I haven’t been consulted at any fee, and these are delicate points. If we are saying we’re the most effective league, I don’t must go play anyplace; those that wish to be taught must come right here.”
‘We’re the laughing inventory of Europe
