Using the latest technology, we’ve managed to get hold of some remarkable phone records, in fact some of these calls havn’t even happened yet, these will make Cammilagate like someone calling an ugly old pensioner looking for a sh*g (enough, move on. Ed).
12.13am Friday 1st August 2008, The Tontine. Gibbo & Lamby are finalising negotiations with a major signing for MFC……
Gibbo - So if you could just sign there Mr Essien and we’re all done.
Essien - starts scribbling It will be an honour Mr Gibson. I so look forward to playing for a football club that is part of the community and is revered around the football world as the club that stuck the, how you say, middle finger? Up at the FA. I feel I will have my footballing soul back after playing for such an empty money laundering machine like Chelsea. I am now a player again.
Lamby starts getting excited and raising his hand
Lamby - Gibbo, gibbo can I reveal him to the press, plllleeeeeeaasseeeee…………………
Gibbo - rolls eyes Course you can, course you…………..
Gibbos mobile rings and he answers it

Gibbo - Wisey ?!?!?……….Wisey, who the fu……ah Nookie Bear. Sorry Dennis didn’t recognise your silly mockney accent for a second………
Wise - No problemo geezer……
Gibbo covers the receiver up and mouths to lamby “its Dennis Wise” and then proceeds to go bozzy eyed. Lamby leans over to Essien to tell him who it is. They both start going bozzy eyed too and start to giggle
