Tracklisting

Went to Portman Road to see Ipswich and Stockport County: Ipswich won 1-0, an excellent Jamie Scowcroft goal, and then on the way back we realised that Robbie had scored the last goal of this century at Anfield in front of the Kop, which must have been rather wonderful, and then we had a takeaway and came in here to do the programme.')
