Target For Today Is.......

[Tomliner]

Scousers....


53,000 Scousers meet in Anfield for a 'Scousers Are Not Stupid' convention.

Steven Gerrard addresses the crowd.. 'We are all here today to prove to the world that Scousers are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer please?'

Jamie Carragher gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

Gerrard asks him 'What is 15 plus 15?'

After 15 or 20 seconds Carragher says, ' Forty!'

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then the Scousers start chanting 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'

Gerrard says, 'Well since we have a capacity crowd, world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think we can give him another chance.'

So he asks, 'What is 5 plus 5?'

After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says, ' Twelve?'

Gerrard looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh.

Everyone is disheartened and Carragher starts crying.

But then the 53,000 Scousers begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'

Gerrard, unsure whether he is now doing more harm than good eventually says, 'OK then, what is 2 plus 2?'

Silence hangs over the stadium.

Carragher closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, 'Four?'

Pandemonium breaks out throughout the stadium as the Scouse crowd stand to a man, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream,

'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'
Heads down for the flak! EricT

I sent this on to my mate who is a season ticket holder at Anfield and this was the reply...

To be fair if they can fit 53,000 into Anfield, they must be performing some sort of mathematical magic given the capacity of the ground is actually only 45,522...

[DaveB]

Since when has not having a ticket stopped people getting into Anfield. 45,522 is the official capacity and doesn't include going in over the wall

"Give him another chance"

Just use Scouser maths.

The stadium has 4 sides each holding 10,000

So, that's 5 x 10,000 = 53,000
