*We join the lads celebrating the win against Stoke, Benteke has his arm around Lowton’s shoulders*
Benteke: Great goal Matt, great goal.
Lowton: Thanks Christian, means a lot coming from you
Benteke: Yeah. Don’t make a habit of it though, goals are kind of my ‘thing’
*Benteke and Lowton chuckle together, Benteke stopping long before Lowton*
Lowton: Um… Christian you look a little angry and uh… twitchy and your hand is crushing my arm socket a bit
*Bent is making a silent, cease and desist throat cutting motion until he catches Benteke’s attention and he begins to whistle*
Benteke: it would be a shame if you injured said socket. Anyway nice chat and again. great goal.
Lowton: Um yeah. Thanks.
*Lambert arrives*
Lambert: Hey heeeey check us out. Never before has a British, bespectacled, tracksuit wearing Champions League winner as a player ever inspired Villa so much as a manager.
*the lads sheepishly acknowledge Lambert’s comment*
Lambert: Cracking goal Matthew son. One of the best I’ve ever seen
*Lowton beams proudly until his eyes find Benteke’s withering gaze*
Lowton: Um thanks boss… Christian’s was the um… icing on the cake. All about the three points and the team and all that.
Lambert: Aye, I mean I say one of the best I’ve ever seen, I would bang them in like that week in week out when I used to play ‘Lamber-ghini’ they used to call me, flash with the performance to back it up.
Delph: Week in week out? I thought you were a defensive or holding mid boss?
Lambert: Yes… Well … the role was different back then.
Gabby: Seems everyone forgot I scored first equalling Dwight Yorke’s record!
Lambert: Wow Matthew, you equalled Yorke’s record? great achievement, great strike.
Gabby: What!? He’s scored about two goals! Me! I scored the…..
Lambert: You scored two today Matthew?! Wow, the volley was so good I forgot the other one, what was it like?
Gabby: Raaaaaaaarrgh!!!!
*Lambert looks at Gabby quietly*
Lambert: Really Gabby? Matthew’s other goal was that good? Well played!
*Gabby and Benteke are now staring intently at Lowton. Bent is once again making desperate keep quiet gestures*
Lowton: Three … points?
