Tubes' Diary

It's a funny game!

Last updated: 16th October 2009

I don't think I've ever seen anything as funny as the sight of Steve running around wearing shin pads with no socks or shorts and a t-shirt with a picture of Del Boy on it and the words 'what a plonker'!

Quotes of the week

I always hear people say football is a 'funny old' game', but on Saturday it actually was a funny game!

I don't think I've ever laughed as much as I did during our match at the weekend and it had nothing to do with our performance.

Our 'keeper was late so we didn't have any kit and cos the other team were getting a bit worked up we had to kick-off. Luckily I always I have my own shorts and socks so I was alright... unlike Steve and James!

They both had to start the game in their boxers and I don't think I've ever seen anything as funny as the sight of Steve running around wearing shin pads with no socks or shorts and a t-shirt with a picture of Del Boy on it and the words 'what a plonker'!

We couldn't stop laughing for the first 20 minutes so it wasn't really a surprise when we found ourselves 2-0 down. Eventually our 'keeper turned up and we ended up winning 3-2.

So if you've ever been told that a nice kit doesn't make you a good team, well they were lying - and we're the proof!

That was enough excitement for me on Saturday, especially after a show with The Inbetweeners. They boys were exactly what you would expect - really nice, down to earth and very, very funny.

Especially Blake who plays Neil in the show. He had everyone in the studio in stitches when he started cutting shapes during my 'one question'!

I just about got over my fits of laughter in time for my mum's birthday on Sunday. Being the model son that I am, I took her and the rest of the family out for lunch.

We went to our favourite Italian place and everyone had a great time, so I reckon I'll have a few brownie points coming my way soon!

This week's been pretty solid so far. I spoke to Paul Dickov on Thursday as he's on the show on Saturday. He's a top bloke and I'm sure he'll have plenty of interesting things to say.

Carlos Bernard from 24 will be in the studio as well. I have to admit I don't watch a lot of American TV, but all the boys are pretty excited he's coming on.

If there's one thing I do know though it's rappers, and they don't get much bigger than 50 Cent! He's got a new film out which has been produced by Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole and I've got a junket with him next week. I can't wait!

Later,

Tubes answers your questions

Tubes you're a cool dude and seem like you know a bit about music so what I want to know is who do you think is the greatest guitar player of all time?Nigel Peters(Norwich City fan).

Tubes replies: Johnny Marr, no question. He was on the show a few weeks back and he's one of the coolest men alive.

Hi Tubes, after watching your interview with Terry Gilliam what I want to know is if you could choose one person that you have interviewed to play you in a film, who would it be?Amit Patel(Fulham fan).

Tubes replies: If I'm honest Amit I'm still trying to get my head around why any would ever be playing me in a film! If it's a film about my life then I can tell you now don't bother going to watch it... it's won't be very interesting!

If I have to choose though, it would be someone who can rap and act, so maybe 50 Cent. The only other person would be Leonardo DiCaprio because there's definitely a resemblance there...

What do you reckon the plot of the film should be?
