Rather than make them Take One for the Team, we could get them to walk over hot coals.

Quotes of the week

There was controversy in the Soccer AM office this week and it had nothing to do with a former work ex girl in Tuesday's Sun!

No, the controversy surrounds two crew members, and who should rightly be taking One for the Team on Saturday.

Anyone who had their eyes open during the Soccerette part of the show on Saturday (and let's be honest, why wouldn't you!) would have noticed that Rocket was left hanging during Rushden Roulette.

Eager to impress us all with another one of his "brilliant" accents, the diminutive crew member was left to wait as Cheryl Mole revealed she didn't have the all important gold envelope.

Browncoat man Bobbie belatedly appeared with said envelope and the show went on... Unfortunately for them a mistake was made and now someone has to pay... them's the rules!

Bobbie was convinced he had pinned the envelope to the back of the Rushden Roulette wheel, but Lisa wasn't having any of it.

"Bobbie, it definitely wasn't there"

"Well I know I pinned it to the wheel so someone must have moved it," replied Bobbie adamantly.

Even Jonathan Creek would have a tough time solving this one, but until we get to the bottom of it we've decided to take the American judicial system view that they're both guilty until they can prove otherwise.

With that in mind the discussion soon turned to punishments!

"Rather than make them Take One for the Team, we could get them to walk over hot coals," said Lavvers revealing a new sadistic side.

"Aidy Boothroyd used to get his Watford players to do it for team bonding."

Whatever happened to a weekend of golf in Marbella!? Anyway as fun as it would be to see Bobbie or Lisa walk across hot coals, we think we'll have to stick to the tried and tested...

Phobia

Outside of the office this week and Steve revealed he had an unpleasant experience at the hairdressers.

The former celebration man has developed tonsurephobia (fear of getting your haircut) in recent years and although we can't be certain, we think it could have something to do with a VT a couple of years ago when we sent him to a salon to get his haircut like Marseille midfielder Lucho Gonzalez!

"I was sitting there for 20 minutes getting more and more nervous," he explained. "By the time I got in the seat I told him how much I wanted off and he was like, 'is that it'!?

Needless to say but no one could tell the difference.

To cheer himself up he went out and bought a load of new clothes, but later admitted it had more to do with the fact that he couldn't be bothered to wash his dirty ones!

Master plan

In stark contrast, Ashley showed his erm... thrifty side at the weekend. The Derby fan left the tag on a pair of trainers he bought for a 5-aside match in the hope he could return them afterwards!

"I realised on Sunday that I left my trainers at work and I didn't have time to go and get them," he explained.

"So I decided to buy a new pair, but I thought as long as I kept the tag on and didn't kick the ball too much I'd be able to return them."

You won't be shocked to find out that Ashley's master plan of 'not kicking the ball' during a game off football didn't quite pan out.

He therefore is stuck with a pair of Adidas trainers which he is quite keen to get rid of. So if you're interested email us with your best offer!

See you on Saturday!
