It's not funny

Alan, Andy and Des

Des Lynam, Alan Hansen, and Andy Gray are standing before God at the throne of Heaven. God looks at them, and says, "Before granting you a
place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in." Addressing Mr Hansen first, he asks "What do you believe?"

Big Al looks God in the eye, and states passionately, "I believe football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so many people, from the slums of Sao Paolo, to the mansions of Chelsea. I have devoted my life to bring such joy to those people who stood on the terraces at Anfield."

God looks up, and offers Alan the seat to his left.

He then turns to Andy Gray. "And you, Mr Gray. What do you believe?"

Andy stands tall and proud. "I believe courage, honour, and passion are the fundamentals to life, and I've spent my whole playing career providing a living embodiment of these traits"

God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Andy the seat to his right. Finally, he turns to Des Lynam. "And you, Mr Lynam. What do you believe"

"I believe", says Des smoothly, "You are in my seat"
