Harchester face Sunderland at The Lair. As the board gathers for pre-match drinks, Lynda gets a shock when Prash arrives with Johnny Rizzanella as his guest, introduced as a specialist on the European transfer market. Scott returns to Lisa but doesn't want to co-operate as he knows she went to Ray when he walked out before. Kelly tries to keep Fletch and the photoshoot off her mind with it being Wes's first game back today. Before they go out, Ray advises Wes to stay close to Fletch on the pitch, and Fletch slyly tells Wes he has been looking forward to them playing together.

 

Scott talks to Lisa about the pressure of being a footballer, and when he doesn't score a goal everyone is on your case. Half time in the dressing room, Ray tells the boys it was the best performance he's seen since he's been here, which Luis solemnly listens to. On the subject of girls, soon Scott is opening up to Lisa about Ann, and the hurt he's feeling since she finished with him. After a superb performance, Wes is substituted but Luis is left disappointed when Ray selects Marvin Walker to go on. Harchester bag three points, and the lads celebrate in Studs.

 

Johnny presents to Luis how France is his best option for a move, with Monaco and Marseille interested. Luis ducks his old haunt Monaco but Marseille sounds good. Prash adds now he has got Johnny to help with his move, Luis needs to deliver the other part of the deal - Lynda handing over the club. When Didier questions why Victoria wants money from him, she reveals her father has stopped her allowance, and he believes as Victoria's husband Didier should be supporting her. When Didier says he has no money, Victoria takes up with Fletch and the two leave together.

 

Luis informs Lynda of the news of his obtained transfer, but Lynda tells him she can't go now as her team are winning. Luis pleads with her about how she not being involved in football was the reason he loved her, and Lynda responds with how she won't be bullied again like she was with Jerry. Lynda returns to Ray, Billy and Eddie where they toast to Wes's comeback to the pitch.

 

Notes:

 

The Best: Billy flirting with Victoria that she could be a model, for her to respond that she actually is one.

 

·          Quotes: Lynda (to Kelly at half time): "Wes is brilliant. He and Fletch are made for each other! Fabulous isn’t it?!”

 

Additional Info: Harchester have a further remaining three matches of the season, Everton and Manchester Utd away, and a last day meeting with Spurs at home.

 

·          What Was The Score?: A pass from Dunning sees Billy score, but the ideal moment is taken away when the goal is ruled off-side. Five mins before half-time, a shot from Fletch leads to a goal from Wes and Harchester are finally 1-up. Harchester take it 2-0 in the second half with a goal from Fletch. With five mins to go, Fletch scores his second and it ends 3-0.

 

Soundtrack: Travis: "Turn",  Binary Finary: "1999",  Chili Hi Fly: "Is It Love"
