0:00.0	Okay, folks, you all listening to the latest episode, the latest chapter, the latest
0:27.1	adventure, somewhat sad in my view, of what's happening on Planet Porky.
0:33.6	And Leslie Ann, Ms. Jones, of course, the writer extraordinaire with me here,
0:39.1	it doesn't matter whether on planet Porky, planet Earth or Mars.
0:42.4	There is a doom and a gloom about me this morning, which will take some time to repair,

1:39.9	Cup final we played. We scored after about 48 seconds. It was one of the fastest ever FAA Cup final goals, if not the fastest ever. But then, of course, you've got to worry about
1:47.8	the next 89 minutes and hang on to it. And that's why I never celebrate, you know, wildly
1:53.7	with goals that come too early, because you're mad, you know, to stop worrying that you're
2:00.3	always going to concede.
2:01.6	Funny enough, during the course of the final, I did a goggle box version of coverage of it,
