No news about the football tour yet!!

No news about the football tour yet although it is dastardly how Liverpool are playing fast and loose with Spizz's team Aston Villa. After saying they have not got
the dough for Gareth Barry, Liverpool made a very rich bid of £19m for Robbie Keane.
The bid was sown up very quickly. I don't think Spurs could believe their luck. The
next job is to sign off the sale of Berbatov to Man United. If the Bulgarian does not
want to play for you then you might as well take the money. I think the player is a bit of a petulant prima donna but Berbatov can make and score goals. When the
flicks come off he is a joy to watch.

I am bored by the Ronaldo affair!!

I am getting bored by the Ronaldo. Obviously,
I prefer the Portuguese star diving for the Reds rather than for Real Madrid, but
great players like Best, Charlton, Law and Cantona left and the club continued.
Ronaldo's season last year was a stunning achievement and gained Manchester United the Premiership and the
Champions League. Even if Ronaldo was staying, this would be difficult to repeat.
Gallas would not be the captain of Arsenal while Chelsea would not throw away so many games.
As for Spizz's team, Aston Villa, the Barry affair is embarrassing all round.
I don't know why he wants to go to Liverpool and get rotated. Benitez seems to need
a massive squad while he should pick his best eleven players. Apparently, Arsenal are interested in Barry as well.

Mid-season training: what a joke!!

I was perusing my gut this morning and I think it needs some serious mid-season training. Spizz has been doing well toning his body, although he still likes to quaff a few Stellas. His mate Mick K. has quite a likening for Paulaners. Foreign muck if you ask me. Me and Spizz are just good friends despite the rumours!! Although I had the pleasure of seeing him naked in the showers a few times. Obviously, he was surrounded by chaperones.

I have got a good personal trainer but it was working out at £150 a month and I did not think he was sculpting my body so I stopped it. I am going to Spain for the hols in August and it is usually a complete debacle, food and drink wise. So I must get into some shape pronto. Did you, dear Reader, like how I introduced a Spanish word into the text?

It looks like an injured Ronaldo will not be going to Real Madrid for £80m quid, which is probably a shame after all the hype. I suppose I can handle seeing the Portuguese superstar diving for Man Utd.

Arsenal Simon, the one and only!!

I thought I would devote this blog to profiling Arsenal Simon. We also have another
Simon playing with us, who actually arranges the booking on Friday nights and who I call for the purpose of the blog Gashead Simon, because he is a Gashead (Rovers!!).
Apparently, the Cheltenham groundshare has collapsed and it is back to Bristle.

At the last pub meet before our midsummer meet, Arsenal Simon seemed slightly perplexed that I wrote a blog about the Friday night game and about the performance
(football wise) of Mr Spizz. So I thought
I would share my thoughts about Arsenal Simon with all my readers. I know you are out there because the Google report shows some hits.

The very positive atributes:
1) Arsenal Simon is prepared to buy you a drink in the pub when the round system has collapsed/or you have run out of money. So he is a true gentleman.
2) Arsenal Simon plays the game how it should be played. Triangles, push and move are not alien to him unlike the other bastards. OK, he passes even to me, even though
I am well-known for falling over or for passing it back to the opposition.
3) Arsenal Simon wears an away kit of those money grubbing crew, which I can just about tolerate, rather than the home kit. This is since I am a part time Spurs supporter, even though I might have a mindset of just remembering Pat Jennings,
Sol Campbell (why did they go to Arsenal?)
4) I have never seen Arsenal Simon foul anybody. This is unlike some who specialise in the black arts (step forward Big Dave and Boro Dave!!)

The very negative attributes
1) Arsenal Simon should score more goals. He hits the post alot. I think he has watched the Gunners too many times. At our level you don't have to place the ball an inch inside the post. You can poke it towards the goalie, who percentage wise is likely to either miss the ball completely or help it on its way. Especially, if I am
in goal. One of my unforced errors led to Boro Dave, letting loose some invective.
Big Dave said during the post-mortem in the pub aftewards it was the moment when our
team imploded.
2)I would be happier if Arsenal Simon did not wear the away shirt (which looks two or three years old). Obviously, that is a personal opinion.
Changing the subject Spizz was very pleased about his Milan trip while his mate Mick K, (they are both Aston Villa fans) says we could get a game. So the foreign footie tour might be back on!!
