PREDO PROFILES #12: ML

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to billionaire local playboy and underground Predo League entrepreneur ML.

PREDO: Predo here. You made the last 16 of Europredo. You must be hoping for better at the World Cup?

ML: I don’t know Predo. I’m just happy to be here with the big boys. I hope to make exciting, vibrant predictions and make sure my fans have something to cheer about. I’m just gonna give it all I’ve got. I’m a honest man and I play fair. I think this will come across in the preds I make. It’s an honour to be representing myself at the World Cup along with, say, Benno or something. 

Who for top scorer do you ask? Well I think Janko for Austria is going to hit quite a hot streak. I know he’s barely played for 18 months but class never fades. Like rust. See you in Russia #Gulag

PREDO: What do you make of OLLU's comments that no one here can predo their way out of a paper bag?

ML: Wat is an Ollu?

PREDO: Do you have any pre-predo rituals?

ML: I put my shirt on last. I read the away teams name first. 

I write ‘nil’ (0) in anti clockwise

PREDO: Has your tax matter been sorted out? Will you be cleared to play?

ML: As I say I’m a honest man and I play fair. I think this will come across in the preds I make. 

 

PREDO: Do you have any last words for all the ML fans out there?

ML: Well they really were the twelfth man last time round. So I’d just like to say I hope for more of the same. They’re a great set of lads. Even the women. Also, if I may. I have my new replica shirts coming out the weekend before the tourney. Reasonably priced, sustainability sources. They are full taxed. Fully taxed. You can check.




AFTER THE INTERVIEW A LETTER ARRIVED, WE HAVE PROMISED TO PRINT IT IN FULL

[letter from Cock & Ball Strategic PR Consultancy] 

Dear Mr Thomas 

Following your interview with our client it was noted that - as previously discussed - you overstepped ‘the mark’ with a question over our clients tax affairs. In the interests of clarity our client will not field no more questions on this subject never. 

Legal process is being undertaken and our client hopes to be cleared of mostly all of the charges against him. We at Cock and Ball feel we need to state again that questions relating to the ongoing court case are off the table*. 

If you persist in following such lines of questioning we will be forced to send a second ‘red’ letter with bold lettering and underlined sections. 

Warm, 

Billy Cock and Andy Ball
