*We join the lads gearing up for their match against Chelsea. Lambert arrives in full costume carrying a huge sack of presents*
Lambert: Ho! Ho! Hooooo! Meeeeerry Christmas!
*A few of the lads recoil in horror, some just look on confused or shocked. Lambert removes his mask and flicks his horns.*
Lambert: Uh…. Yeah sorry about that lads, there appears to have been a spelling error in the costume order, didn’t want you to think I’d not made the effort at all though.
*A few of the more scared lads sigh with relief.*
Bent: What’s in the bag boss?
Lambert: Presents for the team of course, a thank you for all your hard work as of late. So first…..
*Lambert roots around in the large sack of gifts,he pulls out the first and reads the label*
Lambert: Christian!
*Benteke strides forward smiling widely, he takes the gift and unwraps it.*
Benteke: ….. A fireman’s hat and suit?
Lambert: Yes Christian. Just a reminder, ‘you can be whatever you want to be’
Benteke: Thanks boss!
Lambert: No problem.
*They hug, Bent rolls his eyes*
Bent: …and the next present?….
Lambert: Right, right let’s move on!
*Lambert again dips into the bag and reveals another present, he fumbles around looking for it’s tag*
Lambert: And it’s for…….Christian!
*Benteke again gratefully accepts the present*
Benteke: A police officer uniform! Oh I see!
*The gifts continue on and on each a different occupational uniform for Benteke until he is handed the final gift from the sack. Bannan, Albrighton, Lichaj and Westwood by this time are dancing ‘YMCA’ in baggy outfits*
Bent: SO they’re all for Christian!? What about the rest of the team?!
Lambert (nervously): I have things for the rest of the team…
Bent: Yeah!? Where then?
*Lambert scans the room and spots something on the desk*
Lambert: Um… Nathan, I got you this!
Baker: Wow! A hole puch! Awesome!
Bent: What!? You just picked that up! It has ‘PROPERTY OF CHELSEA F.C’ stamped on it!
Lambert: Nonsense Darren… Um … Here guys I got you these….
Bannan: Cool! Adidas training vests!
Albrighton: How did you KNOW boss?
Lichaj: Hey look at me! I’m sponsored by Samsung!
Bent: You’re just giving out stuff lying around the dressing room boss! This is ridiculous I …. Aaargh!
*Bent lets out a high pitched yelp at a figure standing at the door, Delph steps in*
Delph: Sorry I’m late guys I got a little held up. I…..
*Delph stops and looks Lambert up and down, then at himself*
Delph: Well. This is awkward. Perhaps one of us should change.
Lambert: Oh Fabian, did you make a spelling error hiring your Santa costume too?
Delph: Hiring? I own this, every match I visit the opposition ‘Hell’s here!’, ‘Prepare to meet your doom!’ Y’know that kinda stuff.
Lambert: Oh….. Well can you stop that please.
Delph: I doubt it.
