The right to free speech or something

It was brought to my attention this week, by a section of the readership, that I've been picking on Martin and that I should ease up on him. It appears I've been giving him a, perhaps, undeserved hard time and I shouldn't be so eager to do so in the future. This section of the readership was quite adamant on this point and delivered this information to me not in electronic form but to my face. My, these Martin devotees are a tough bunch.

How best to characterize this section of the readership? For the want of a better phrase lets call them Martins female fan club. Yes, that's right, he's got the ladies speaking up for him. And know this - I will name names if I'm pressured.

Since I was so roundly turned on this week, I therefore need to delay this weeks official posting till I can compose a piece that doesn't draw the ire of this fierce group of critics. Be patient readers the piece is forthcoming.

Ladies (and you know who you are)!,

I appreciate the support ;-)

And Kim, one good cross does not a winger make!

Humbly yours,

All good things must come to an end

We lost and I blame Martin - of course. I don't know what he was on but he was giving us some serious lip through out the game. Constantly having a go at us for not getting back to help the defense and when we got there banging on about not getting forward to help with the attack. Interestingly on more than a couple of occasions I noticed that while he was screaming at us to get forward I was 10 yards ahead of him. I reckon he must have downed a huge bowl of aggro flakes for breakfast. On reflection I came up with a couple of other theories as to why the normally mild mannered, albeit slightly lippy, bloke would suddenly explode into a raging beast of aggression: 1. Roid rage. I'm not saying he's on the juice and I really do not want to get too close to look for other signs of steroid abuse. 2. Lack of Saturday night action. On top of that he took off early from the game to catch a plane but I reckon he was making like a rat leaving the sinking ship. Of course we would not ...

Goal of the season - candidate 1

In brief: The opposition take a goal kick and I'm standing near the halfway line as the ball comes towards me. In a rare moment of thinking of doing something and it actually working I head the ball sideways to Martin. Normally heading the ball leaves me in a state of borderline concussion because I pretty rubbish at it, however this time I'm still standing and clear headed and I marvel as the move unfolded. Martin does some flash stuff with his feet, like putting one foot in front of the other, and moves forward with the ball before pinging a pass out to Pawel who is on the right wing. Pawel advances down the wing and sends in a cross to Ronaldo who has taken up a position outside the six yard area about level with the left hand post and hanging off the back of the defenders. The ball sails over the defenders and finds Ronaldo perfectly but the defenders react and attempt to close him down. Not wasting time to trap the ball Ronaldo executes a low scything scissor kick, wit...
