Paul Ince on a family holiday?

During their vacation and while they were visiting Jerusalem, Paul's mother-in-law died.

With death certificates in hand, Paul went to England's embassy to make arrangements to send the body back to the states for proper burial.

The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told Paul that the sending of a body back to England for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost as much as GPB5,000.00.

The Consul continues, in most cases the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost $150.00.

Paul thinks for some time and answers, "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body back; that's what I want to do."

The Consul, after hearing this, says, "You must have loved your mother-in-law very much consdering the difference in price."

"No, it's not that," says George. "You see, I know of a case years ago of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day he arose from the dead!

Why an Englishman will never play in a World Series?

A small social club was trying to organize a baseball team. They could only muster eight players, but were hard put to find a ninth. In desperation, they called on a new member, an Englishman, to join their team.

During their first game, the Englishman came to bat. On the first pitch, he knocked the ball out of the park.

"Run!" his teammates cried. "For Pete's sake, run!"

The Brit turned and stared at them icily. "I jolly well shan't run," he replied. "Why should I? I'm perfectly willing to buy you chaps another ball."

Is there football in heaven?

Two old men had been best friends for years, and they both live to their early 90's, when one of them suddenly falls deathly ill. His friend comes to visit him on his deathbed, and they're reminiscing about their long friendship, when the dying man's friend asks, "Listen mate, when you die, do me a favour, will ya? I want to know if there's football in heaven."

The dying man said, "We've been mates for years, this I'll do for you." And then he dies.

A couple days later, his surviving friend is sleeping when he hears his friend's voice. The voice says, "I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that there's football in heaven."

"What's the bad news?"

"You're goalkeeping on Wednesday."

When Paul Ince went to heaven?

Paul Ince, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Liverpool flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity, Paul," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here." Ince felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.

On his way up, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a Green & White & Silver sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Man Utd flag, and in every window, a Man Utd crest. Ince looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an the Guv'nor, won many premierships and FA cups, and I even went to Italy to gain more honour."

God said "So what's your point Paul?"

"Well, why does David Beckham get a better house than me?"

God chuckled, and said "Paul, that's not Beck's house, it's mine."

Who's got the best children?

Three women were sitting around and bragging about their children. The first one says, "You know, my son graduated first in his class from Cambridge. He's now a doctor, making GPB1,000,000 a year in London."

The second woman says, "You know my son graduated first in his class from Harvard. He's now a lawyer, making 2 million pounds a year and shuttles in between London, Los Angeles, Paris, and Rome."

The last woman says, "You know my son; he never did too well in school. He never went to any university, but he now makes three million pounds a year in Britain working as a sports repairman."

The other two women ask, "What is a sports repairman?"

The woman then replies, "Oh, he fixes games... you know, rugby games, football games, cricket games...."

Do you want some more words of wisdom from football personalities?

David Beckham
My parents have been there for me. Ever since I was about seven.

Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level.

THIERRY HENRY
Sometimes in football you have to score GOATS.

MARK VIDUKA
I would not be bothered if we lost every game, as long as we won the league.

PAUL GASCOIGNE
I've had 14 bookings this season - eight of which were my fault, but seven of which were disputable.

MICK DRAPER
I'd like to play for an Italian club, like Barcelona.

ALAN SHEARER
Germany are a difficult team to play... they had 11 internationals out there today.

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.

VINNIE JONES
Winning doesn't realty matter as long as you win.

STUART PEARCE
It was like the ref had a brand new yellow card and wanted to see if it worked.

I can see the carrot at the end of the tunnel.

RONALDO
We lost because we didn't win.

What is 2 + 2?

A football coach walked into the locker room before a game, looked over to his star player and said, "I'm not supposed to let you play since you failed math, but we need you in there. So, what I have to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right, you can play."

The player agreed, and the coach looked into his eyes intently and asks, "Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this. What is two plus two?"

The player thought for a moment and then he answered, "4?"

"Did you say 4?" the coach exclaimed, excited that he got it right.

At that, all the other players on the team began screaming, "Come on coach, give him another chance!"
