Dear Readers, unfortunately I can't play tonight because I am looking after my parents'dog. They are in the non-PC location of northern Cyprus and quite like it since they have been before. It is a real shame because my fitness levels are not too bad at the moment.
Spizz is not answering my e-mails at the moment but I hope he comes next week so that we can discuss the decline and fall of Aston Villa.
Some of the lads want to go for an Xmas curry but I want a cheap evening out, which is basically a few bits of pizza in the house pub. I am currently trying to get a "conversation" going with a few of the players on the old e-mail. I am presently slagging off Wenger for not picking English players. This has riled the Gooner fans!

I am taking a late fitness test for this Friday.
Dear Readers, I am taking a late fitness test for this Friday. I will be a bit rusty
after a three week break but I am raring to go. The Spizz gig is this Thursday but I might be unable to go due to family commitments. We have to wait and see. I feel for Spizz after his team Aston Villa got squashed by Arsenal at the weekend. Apparently, Villa are interested in a £6m Robbie Keane, which shows they must be desperate.
A few weeks ago big Ian G. organised a brilliant competition to mark the nuptials of Big Sam, who brought one of his brothers along to play and his Dad, who smashed my record of being the oldest geezer on the pitch being north of 70. Chatting to Sam's Dad in the pub afterwards, I might have committed a faux pas by asking why he did not support Crystal Palace rather than Millwall given his Peckham birthplace. This probably showed my complete ignorance!!
Anyway the competition was played in great spirit and my team was a bit unlucky given Joe had a Robert Green between the posts and we could not quite hit the target in front of goal despite the pace of Yev and Steve A. Big Dave was immense as usual in defence but I felt I was letting the side down a bit by being really slow. But at least we can aspire to win the cup next time.

We are going to have to arrange Spizz testimonial!!
I expect we are going to have to arrange a testimonial to mark the retirement from
footie by punk star Spizz after his Dublin Castle gig, which is on Thursday, December 2nd. Sorry I have been a bit lacklustre in terms of putting out the blogs. I have got a couple of games to catch up on such as the cup competition marking the wedding of Big Sam. Suffice to say the team I played for came last in the group stage despite being strong on paper.
That was followed by a depressing 6-3 loss and an unbelievable argument about the penalty that never was.
Last week I missed because of failing a late fitness test and this is likely to be the case for tomorrow and next week. So lads, start sending in those match reports!!
PS>
The Dublin Castle is in Camden, 94 Parkway, London, NW1.

For the match report young Joe has done a poem!
An early conceit started with a lack of retreat,
Some said one side was too strong, but that denies we went wrong,
With a wedding in sight, Sam had to be right,
Alex and he scrapped in the floodlit Shoreditch night,
I could feel the shame, three goals down in one game,
It gave me a chill to say we lost three nil.
I am still shocked about the Spizz retirement. I am going to try and talk him out of
it. I still play despite having a pin in my leg and none of my colleagues passing to
me. Maybe we should try and arrange a testimonial game.

Spizz stuns footballing world with shock announcement!
Spizz Energi frontman Spizz has stunned the footballing world with the shock announcement that he is retiring and he holding a "wake" in Bishopsgate to celebrate
the event. "I can't quite believe it, it is the end of an era, if it is true" said
an unnamed source. "I knew he was suffering from injury problems but I did not think
that they were that bad."
Spizz's footballing style was/is characterised by above-average shooting skills, a nice turn of pace (for his age!) combined with an unwillingness to track back or go
in goal unless he absolutely had to.
"I hope he is not completely lost to the world of football. Spizz could get his coaching
badge or qualify as a ref" commented the unnamed source.

And a big thank you to all our readers - part two
Alan Morg. is knocked out at the worldwide following of the blog. Here are the page views by country for the period May to October 2010.
USA - 135
UK - 133
Russia -50
Canada - 25
Spain - 20
Japan - 20
France - 15
Malta - 12
Indonesia - 10
and South Korea with 8.
Last week's match report will be brought to you by Joe, who also stepped up to the plate and picked the sides. The game saw a guest appearance by John P., who relocated to Barcelona a few years back. It was great to see him eating up those yards on the pitch.
In the pub afterwards I had to commiserate with Danny, who went for it a bit with
an attempt at a long-raking pass. Unfortunately, this became a spooned-up effort infringing our over-head-height rules. But it was at least worth a go.
We are still missing Spizz, struck down by cruel injury. Hopefully, he is going to turn up this Friday for Big Sam's
bash.
As for Man Utd keeping Rooney rather than selling him, that probably will be the outcome after Fergie retires.

And a big thank you to all our readers!!
During the month there have been 68 page views from the United Kingdom, 49 from Russia, 30 from United States and 19 each from Canada and Japan. Other countries also
make it on the list. So a big thank you to all our readers!! Let's hope that Spizz recovers from injury soon so as to lead the attack.
I think I am available for selection this Friday. I am feeling the knees a bit with the change of weather. It has become quite wintry and I think it could be tracksuit bottom weather tomorrow.
My view on the Wayne Rooney affair is that he will probably go to Chelsea in the January transfer window. Real Madrid would wait until summer for a cheaper buy while I don't think Fergie's Man Utd can take the risk of selling him to Man City, since Mancini's team would probably run away with the league. I saw Real Madrid destroy Malaga on Sky during the weekend with Ronaldo and Higuain looking unstoppable and maybe Mourinho will decide that he does not need Rooney. However, the Spanish team has got players such as Benzema to offload in any part-exchange deal.
I was blown away by Gareth Bale's wonder hat trick against Inter Milan last night. But it looks like that Spurs will have to invest in a new defence and a couple of midfield holding players. Poor old Crouchie is not very good in the air. I read in the papers that his personal entourage numbers seven strong. Hopefully, they can teach him to time a jump and head the ball in the net.
