Offside SoundOff: Watch the Final IOSS Episode, Then Share Your Favorite Moment

By: Laurie | January 11th, 2009

Is it really over? Puppet Jose says so. Watch the final episode as Sven, Alex, Rafa, Voyeur, Roy and Dave all try to get in the last word. Unsuccessfully, of course.

And then we’d like to hear about your favorite IOSS moment.

I think mine has to be The Boy, Wayne, in an isolation suit after being in Africa, repeatedly saying, “It’s not malaria, like.” Maybe because I’d just written about Kolo Toure actually having malaria, like.

Or maybe it’s that we never really did learn what kind of mystery virus the real Wayne Rooney had. All we learned was that, “It’s a virus he picked up in Nigeria and it’s not a nice one.” Which still feels a bit dodgy to me.

But I digress. We’re hoping you’ll help us get over our grief by using the comments to tell us about your favorite IOSS moment(s).

  I’m rather dissapointed the comic potential of the Man United/Inter game won’t be exploited.

  My favourite moment(s) were the running theme of Chelsea players trying to get Jose to take them to Inter, Drogba, Lampard, Makélélé and so forth.

  They way he talks makes it seem like this isn’t really the end. But who knows.

  There were just so many. The Tottenham blast at the beginning of the season when they were in last, about what is the difference between a triangle and them. 3 points.

  Sven doing karaoke, talking in Spanish because of his new job in Mexico.

  Dave in Newcastle was always great, especially when the caller said he was in Stoke, “Isn’t this Dave from Newcastle. Yes, but I followed Ameobi to Stoke.”

  Wayne with the puppet Ronnie in the talent show.

  I think that the best one of all was the one were they are watching the movies and doing the play-by-play.

  Can’t forget all of Jose’s shut ups and the different I’m fantastic.

  Will be missed. I need to download them to my computer through Real Player.

  Did anybody else find themselves thinking that “Dave” was probably the best thing to ever happen to Ameobi’s career?

  It’s not over. This is just a dramatic plot twist. It just has to be.

  Alternatively, Jose may just be playing The Game.

  Just remembered the best ever exchange on IOSS (IMO)

  Didier, London: Gaffer! Why did you call me a diver?
  Jose: Because you are
  Drogba: No I’m not
  Jose: Makélélé bought you flippers for christmas!
  Drogba: No no no I am no Diver!
  Jose: Shut up, Drogba, you are Jacques Cousteau!

  OK, so 8:50 p.m. ET tonight on Setanta, show called Special1 TV. Allegedly that will feature Jose, Sven and Wayne. We’ll have to see — I certainly hope it does!

  This brought a tear to my eye, I can’t believe it’s over. Definitely too many favourite moments to name them all but wow, I’m in shock

  This could be a spoof of Jose leaving Chelsea

  So, did anyone confirm what Special1 TV was? I don’t have Setanta so I couldn’t find out myself.

  Don’t have Setanta either, but this is from the Setanta AUS site:

  Football: Special 1 TV
  Ground breaking comedy from the parallel universe that is “Special 1 TV” with news and punditry from Jose, Sven and Wayne. Written and performed by Mario Rosenstock.

  After doing some quick Google research, I came across this LiveJournal where its members were wondering what “Special 1 TV” was as well.

  …

  Apparently, they just showed the last episode of IOSS.

  Man, way to screw with us. Deplorable.

  I die!
