Ally McCoist is trying to gather his thoughts
after Jeff Stelling’s Christmas dinner bombshell.
They’re bantering and calling each other
PG-friendly insults. It’s a bit of fun.
A talkSPORT emailer asks the question:
No gravy? What’s the point in Christmas?
Jeff speaks of being surrounded by faces
you’ve watch grow over the years, a cracker
hat nestled neatly on the crown of his head,
the touch of his wife’s hand as they drift
off on the sofa for the countless year in a row.
Ally McCoist rereads the email out loud
and agrees with the listener that no gravy
on your Christmas dinner is the calling card
of a future serial killer.
