Merry Xmas and New Year to all my readers!

Here is a Merry Christmas and New Year to all my readers. My New Year's resolutions include improving my fitness and actually scoring a goal in the right net during the Friday night game.
I might take up on some sports therapy where I can picture scoring. I need do something since it is not really happening on the football pitch.

In the New Year I hope to see Spizz play, although I don't think I can do the Milan date.
Hopefully, there is the possibility of more UK concerts. I missed the Led Zeppelin date but Jethro Tull is touring and might try and see them.

It's a shame it is not Paris for the footie tour!!

It's a shame it is not Paris for the footie tour, since it is a beautiful city and I think the population would take to their hearts a motley team of football players led by Spizz in attack. The French capital is also easy to get to with Eurostar, which has recently moved from Waterloo to St Pancras. The default choice of Tenerife, one of the islands in the Canaries, will need a bit of organising, so if I start now, we should get somewhere. It is a great island divided by the desert-like south and tropical north. We will probably play in Puerto de la Cruz, which is where my mate has retired to. He made quite a few bob to retire young!!

I have also made the decision to become player-manager. I think my football career has had a new zest. I played quite well last Friday and was even on the winning side.

Foreign football tour, part two??

Organising a foreign football tour can be a bit of pain but I hope that Spizz's presence will smooth the way. I am thinking of the Canary Islands/southern Spain. It depends on what my contacts on the ground come up with it. I think they will be delighted that a minor pop star will be coming their way.
Southern Spain could be interesting because we could have a day trip to Tangier in Morocco. We will have to wait and see.
I have not discussed the various name changes of the Spizz group formation such as Spizz Oil, Spizz Energi and Spizzvision. The young lad tried to get in the Guinness Book of Records but was
unsuccessful.

I am thinking of another destination for a football tour!!

I am thinking of a new destination for the football tour of the Friday night game, which will still have Spizz of Spizz Energi, Spizz Oil etc fame leading the attack. We should still benefit from the playing skills of Spizz's mate Mick, who can actually string some passes together and also plays the banjo. This makes Mick a version of Modern Renaissance Man in comparison with the some of the players, we have got.

The possible foreign destination is Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands. The main drawback is the cost of the flight, since low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and Easyjet don't go there. Perhaps we could get a good charter. Anyway, Dear Reader, I will keep you posted.

Spizz is forever (sorry I missed the concert!!)

I am sorry I missed the Spizz Energi concert on Saturday night. I had family commitments
but Spizz is back on the road soon with a March gig in Milan (ITALY), which should be good fun.
I am going to ask Spizz if he can get a rider from the promoter involving the setting up of a
game of football (calcio) in Milan. Maybe the lads could catch a game involving AC Milan or
Inter Milan.
I will try and get Spizz's opinions of the concert at Filthys, Amwell Street. I am sure the band
played "Where's Captain Kirk?".

I am still working on the idea of a foreign football tour!!

I am stillworking on the idea of a foreign football tour!! Details are still under wraps but it would still have Spizz leading the attack maybe as a lone striker with a five man midfield. The Paris
trip would have been great but it was not to be.
I missed Spizz last night at Amwell Street but he has got a Milan (ITALY) date in March and
I might ask the Missus if I could go. I have never been to Milan although I have done some
sight-seeing in towns such as Venice, Florence and Rome.

The Paris footie match looks like it is off!!

The Paris footie match involving Spizz and a bunch of North London reprobrates
looks like to have foundered on logistical details. However, the seed has been
planted and maybe we will still organise a continental game.

Spizzenergi is still playing Filthys this Saturday, December 15th and is taking it seriously
by not going to the pub on the Friday. Spizz also has an Italian date in March his
first ever. He told me he can't believe it. The location is Milan and the gig looks like
it will be a very enjoyable one.

It is a shame about the football game in Paris since I was going to make a feeble
attempt of being a guvnor!!
