Michael Sterling stood in the doorway.
It had been three days since the win at Tottenham. Three days since Kai Sora tore his hamstring. The doctors said three months. The season was over for the coolest man in Yorkshire.
Arthur Milton walked up behind Michael. He was holding a bag of spicy chips.
"Do not look at the empty bed Boss," Arthur said munching loudly. "It makes you sad. Look at the pitch. The grass is growing."
"We have to play Tottenham again today Arthur," Michael said turning around. "Three days later. In the FA Cup. They are angry. They want revenge. And we have a hole in our engine."
"We have tape," Arthur said. "We can fix anything with tape."
THE TRIBUTE
In the locker room the atmosphere was strange.
Usually Kai Sora sat in the corner listening to jazz music. Today the corner was empty.
But then Diego Nunez walked in.
The giant defender was wearing his purple kit. But on his bald head he had stuck something with electrical tape.
