Jossy returns from a few weeks in 'Geordieland' to find the boys all distracted and out of shape, having barely trained during his entire absence. The reason? They've all discovered girls. Dave Sharkey's threat to take over their ground if a home game isn't played soon therefore puts Jossy and Albert in a quandary.
