Stoke City take on last-place Scunthorpe today at 1:45 PM (CT). From the comment thread on a previous post, here's a pretty funny bit where Scunthorpe's quality comes up during an interview Ali G. had with David and Victoria Beckham for Comic Relief in 2001.

For the bit transcribed here, you can fast-forward to about the 3:15 mark in this YouTube clip (the whole thing is pretty funny, though probably not kid- or work-safe, depending on how well your kids or coworkers understand British accents. ;-)

Ali: Now Beckham, do you reckon the better the footballer you is, the fitter the girl you go out with?

Beckham: Obviously.

Ali: So, you is the best at football, ya know. So you gets Posh. So does Sporty Spice go out with someone from Scunthorpe United?

Victoria: [laughing] That's horrible!

Ali: What do you mean?

Victorai: That's my friend, and she's lovely.

Ali: Exactly! Why? Is you tryin' to say Scunthorpe is not a good team?

Victoria: [laughing] Yes!

Ali: 'Cause that is a horrible thing to say about them.
