The Spizz Forever blog wishes Happy New Year!!

I suppose I suffered from a troubled performance over the season. In some games I did not pass the half-way line while I also spent an inordinate time in goal. However, Spizz has been playing well and leading the attack. He has often been getting a brace of goals. Spizz has also been looking trimmer, which has made him more mobile. However, he is still partial to the odd Stella and is over the moon about the performance of his team Aston Villa.
Probably, the player of the year is Big Dave, who often displays a few of the "Dark Arts" of defending. He is also a good exponent of how to play the long-range shot, especially when I am in goal.
One of my New Year's resolutions is to shed a few pounds and play a more box-to-box game, which will increase my enjoyment of the match. This is sometimes negatively affected by my over-long stints in goal (and I am pretty rubbish in goal). I don't think Gashead will give me a vets discount for me being over 50 but I might try and cut down the expenditure in the pub afterwards.

Spizz hit the post with a long-range effort!

It happened while I was in goal. Spizz suddenly launched himself towards the ball and the result was a surprising shot, which hit the post. Usually, the pop star is quite close to the goal so that he can stroke the ball in. It was the sheer distance, which confused me.
Luckily, I ended up on the winning side. Big Dave and Boro Dave gave our team the edge although Big Dave, an expert in the black arts of defending, somehow crashed into the Somali lad Nani and said play on. Also, there was almost a bit of afters between Big Dave and his brother Steve.
As for any trips to foreign climes, it has gone a bit quiet at the moment. I think we have been credit crunched and Mick has been suffering from a hamstring problem, so we have missed his cultured play. Plus, Mick is the only sensible one among us to organise a trip. I think it was Germany. The collapse of sterling against the euro seems to have affected future sporting relations between our two great countries.
