Chris and Dave had a tough, tough job trying to lift the nation’s spirits this morning, but they tried as best they could and in the end it turned out to be a pretty good show. It began as you may have expected, with Chris opting for a downbeat classical piece to open proceedings. He interrupted it to announce that he would not be put off by last night’s events, although he did say that three words filled the mouths of all England fans this morning...we wuz robbed.

JINGLE (OVER CHURCH TYPE MUSIC):>>>>
“We were robbed last night, we were robbed last night,
We were robbed last night, we were robbed last night,
We were robbed last night, we were robbed last night,
We would have won the game but the referee was...very poor,
The Chris Moyles Show, live from Portugal, but we go home today, National Radio One”

Predictably but suitably the first record was Stop Crying Your Heart Out by Oasis, just as it was 2 years ago when Brazil beat us in the World Cup. After the news Chris went straight into a special package that condensed last night’s game into three minutes, over the bed of Dry Your Eyes by The Streets. It then went straight into the actual record itself, and was repeated up to the pips just before the end of the show. It featured commentary from the key incidents of last night's game, courtesy of the Five Live team. It was quite moving and even the Streets tune (which I think is average) seemed quite poignant when played. Chris rued the fact the team will be back in London on Monday with cloudy weather, rude people and expensive cigarettes. He said he was genuinely crying coming out of that stadium last night...and it wasn’t because he dropped his hotdog or owt. The whole team (like the whole of England) were feeling completely deflated this morning, and were all sounding croaky and hoarse from the shouting that they’d been doing last night. Chris said his emotions had been up and down like a nun’s knickers. Penalties really is a horrible way to go out of a tournament, and that’s already four major tournaments in my brief lifetime that we’ve gone out of on them. Dave admitted that he never fancied us if it got to pens, and I’d be lying if I said I did. Best not to focus on that though - instead best to focus on Mr Arse Meier and that disallowed goal. Chris said legally he couldn’t say it was a fix, but you knew what he was inferring. People may say Chris and I am bitter cos we will go on about this, but the simple fact is that it was a key decision and he got it wrong. Yes Portugal were the better team, yes we defended too deep and yes we missed Wayne Rooney...but we were level on the key statistic that counted - goals scored. So when we have a perfectly good goal disallowed, all you Scots and Welsh erm...people can surely understand that we are entitled to feel a little peeved. Chappers (who was up before the show started for only the second time in 2 weeks), had found out some very interesting information about our new friend Urs. He said that not only does he have highlights in his hair, but he also has a very big ego. This is because he has his own official website, including an interview, information on his fitness regime, his own fan club...and a feedback section. That’s right, Urs wants to hear from you.
Dave - So we could critically evaluate his performance last night then
Chris said absolutely. He was sure Urs would be delighted to wake up to lots of happy, friendly e-mails this morning, congratulating him on his superb performance last night (cue Chris brilliantly impersonating Urs in his generic foreign, Avid Merrion type accent). Later in the day there were stories about this website crashing etc, and people criticising TV stations for giving the address out. In a way Chris started all of this, although at no point did he ever give the actual address out. There’s nowt stopping me though - click here (a good understanding of German is required though). Rachel was submitting her details and trying to join his fan club, but her computer kept crashing. She said that on the list of required details it asks for you to state favourite football team. Chappers said he was pretty sure in that case that Rachel was the only Kidderminster Harriers supporter in Urs Meier’s fan club.
Rhys - and we must always remember that feedback...is a gift
(Dave laughs)
Chris (laughing) - I’m telling ya

At 7:55 Chris also started a mass “we wuz robbed” textathon, which had brought in total of 93 000 texts by the end of the show. That’s roughly one and a half times as many people were in the stadium last night.

MORE NEW JINGLES:>>>>
“Owen started well but then we lost Wayne Rooney,
We would have won the game but the referee went loony,
Our hearts were in our mouths, we should have won with ease,
We thought the ref was Swiss but he must be Portuguese,
The Chris Moyles Show, live from Portugal, but we go home today, National Radio One”


(and my favourite...)
“England beat Portugal but the ref dismissed our goal,
It was clearly in the net and our hearts went out to Sol,
Our team is coming home and their pilots name is Dennis,
Now it's down to Tim and Greg to win the bloody tennis,
The Chris Moyles Show, live from Portugal, but we go home today, National Radio One”


STUBBSY, JACK BAINE AND MORE MATCH CHAT:
Image
Ray Stubbs was back on the phone at 8:45, although he said it was a pity he wasn’t chatting to Chris in better circumstances. Ray said that he just felt flat and empty this morning, and added that everything just seemed to conspire against us last night. Just like the World Cup two years ago, all the pundits around him were saying that it’s another missed opportunity for England. Ray said aside from the mechanics of football, it just shows how life can play such tricks on you. David Beckham being the prime example, as everything that can go wrong, will go wrong for him at the minute. I don’t hold Beckham to blame personally but there’s no doubt his form has been average at best in this tournament. Ray thinks going on about the goal is clutching at straws a bit, but like I said before it is what it all comes down to. Dave added his two pennies worth - saying that we were on the back foot all of the second half due to our insistence to lob the ball up to two tiny strikers and not get it on the floor and keep possession. Ray said it’s gonna be quite painful staying to the end of the tournament now that England have been knocked out. My arse - it’s still sun and booze aplenty. Chris invited Stubbsy to the team’s big night out tonight, but he is presenting a highlights show on the France - Greece game and can’t make it.

(Jack Baine)
Jack linked up live with Chris after half seven for their final little chat from Portugal. He watched the game in a bar down by the docks in Lisbon last night and said it was just horrible to witness the England fans trudging off quietly into the distance, as the Portuguese partied on into the night. Jack said driving back to his hotel in the centre of Lisbon was like a nightmare, stuck in a 4/5 mile traffic jam that was more like a Portuguese carnival parade, with people beeping their car horns and getting out onto their bonnets. Aled recorded some audio of what it was like by the villa, as he watched the game in a local bar. Chris played it out and then told them to shove their horns up their arse. Jack said at one point last night he saw an older lady dancing in just a red thong, with a whistle in her mouth. Everyone in the villa turned their faces up at this, expect for engineer Steve who was showing his age. Chris said England may have lost the match (although technically we drew), but without a doubt we won the flag war inside the stadium. Dave’s favourite was a Hull City one that had “on the dole, we don’t care” written on it. Chappers said his favourite was a Libya flag that he spotted in the stadium for some reason. God bless the Libyans eh.
Dave - Which was weird because the fella in the restaurant before the game looked like Colonel Gaddafi didn’t he, with the long wig on...
(all laugh)

Chris said that as Leeds United fans, it hasn’t been a massively successful football year for him and Rhys. Rhys was saying on the tube yesterday that all he has to look forward to now is Gillingham away in August - joy. Chris said he was so excited when the fixture lists came out yesterday. Dave’s Everton have Arsenal...and Leeds have Derby County. Rock on. Mind you it could be worse, we’ve got Yeovil at home first game. 65 000 people watched the England - Portugal match on the big screens at Glastonbury last night, that’s the same amount of people who were in the actual stadium itself. Amongst those were Rachel’s mate, Carrie’s cousin and Chris’s girlfriend Sophie, who was too nervous to watch at one point so went off for a walk. Chris said his mouth was dry and shaking when it came to penalties, and he actually wondered if he could watch them without collapsing. He spoke to Soph afterwards but wouldn’t pick up her call during the match himself. He asked what the point of that was and said that everyone who rang him during the game should bugger off. He also complained about the people who texted him afterwards saying “Are you upset?” or something along those lines - I mean, no sh*t sherlock. These people included Sophie, Emma B, Sandy, Rob DJ, his mum, Ginner and the prince of Stoke himself, Mr Mark Bright. Chris used the old “my phone ran out of battery” excuse for not replying.

DOM IN PORTUGAL AND COMEDY DAVE’S LAST EVER EASY PORTUGUESEY:>>>>
In the worst piece of timing since Emile Heskey tackled Claude Makelele last week, Dominic is flying out to spend the weekend with the team in Portugal (cos unlike the jingles say, they actually fly home on Sunday). Carrie revealed that Dom was going to go out and buy some new gear yesterday, for his two days in Portugal. Byrne protested that he needed some new sandals, although nothing quite as expensive as Chris’s £135 flip flops...
Chris - They’re Prada!!!
(Carrie laughs)
Dave - Man of the people
(all laugh)

Dave said Chris’s prada sandals looked a bit like special shoes. Dom butted in to say that he did actually have to wear built up special shoes when he was younger, as he has fallen arches. He said he was given 9 and a half out of 10 when he was born, docked half a point just cos of his feet. Dave asked what the hell he was on about, as he never knew there was a baby grading system...
Dave - Do they not dock points off you for being a slaphead as well?
(all laugh)
Dom - Dave!! I was a new born baby!!!
Rhys (in background) - That’s rich from hobbit foot!
Dom - Oh yes! Frodo Vitty!
(Chris and Rach laugh)
Dave (to Rhys) - Eh Gutzilla!!
Rachel - Now now boys come on
Chris - Oooh. Stop it now, we’re all friends. You know the rules, we’re one big happy family and if you’re gonna pick on anybody, pick on Aled!!
(Dom laughs as Chris plays jingle)

Yep Dave was back after 9:15 for the final ever instalment of Easy Portuguesey. Unsurprisingly his phrases today didn’t include the translations for “we wuz robbed” or “the referee’s a w*nker”, as he went for three more complicated ones instead. Rhys’s half cousin Ben (who speaks fluent Portuguese) was on hand to point out any inaccuracies...and there were a couple. Dave thought he started off by saying “they think it’s all over, it is now”, although he actually said “they think it’s all left, it is now”. He said it was a strong start. Next up was “we don’t mean to sound bitter but Campbell’s goal should never have been disallowed”. However, Ben said that Vitty actually read out “we don’t signify that the aims of Campbell shouldn’t have been disallowed”...nice. Dave did get his last phrase spot on though - “Thank you to the Portuguese for their hospitality and we’ll see you in Germany for the World Cup”. Chris wasn’t going to do Buzz Off this morning as he wasn’t in the mood, but he had a change of heart and blasted out a stomping record that had nothing to do with football, and consequently it cheered everybody right up. It was of course the awesome Ace Of Spades by Motorhead, a number 15 hit back in November 1980. It received an 83% Buzz On response on the text, no votes from Dave, Rachel or Aled, and even got executive trip producer Rhys passionately air drumming and air guitaring around the villa - class.

Chris ended his last show from Portugal by thanking a whole long list of people that I can’t be arsed writing down, and by (as I mentioned earlier) repeating that Streets montage up to the pips and Jo Whiley at Glastonbury at 10 o’clock. Chappers and Dave will still be live from the villa tomorrow at one o’clock. Chris reminded Chappers that it’s not all bad going home, as he gets to see his lovely wife and child again. Mark said him and Sarah had a blazing row on the phone last night, one reason Dave said he didn’t risk phoning Emma. Chris said unlike many of the OB’s they’ve done this year, this one ran perfectly. He said they should just stay out there to do the show, and just barricade themselves in the villa. Rhys was up for it but Rachel said no. Chris said she was just towing the management line cos she has a contract renewal and appraisal coming up next week.

Daves Tedious Link
LL Cool J Phenomenon - The word “phenomenon” is an F sounding word that begins with the letters PH, like the name Philip - Prince Philip is the husband of the Queen - Queen Elizabeth II is the name of a famous ship - Ship Of Fools was a hit for Erasure - Erasure keyboardist Vince Clark was also in Yazoo, along with Alison Moyet - If you swap the last letter of “Moyet” for an S you get Moyes, who is the manager of Everton - Everton entertain title holders Arsenal on the opening day of the new season, while Leeds United play host to the mighty Derby County - Derby County are nicknamed the rams, which are the male equivalent of sheep - Sheep are the primary source of wool - Wool is sold in balls, unlike hay which is sold in bails - If you remove the S from bails you get bail, which is often paired with the word “out” - and out is sadly what England are this morning after losing their Euro 2004 quarter final match on penalties last night to the host nation Portugal, which means that for England another tournament is over and for us, it’s time to come home - Which links us to James and Come Home
