A clash of styles

So I send this email to Martin on the eve of our next game:

'Tuesday, 10pm, home dressing room, Stamford Bridge. Andriy Shevchenko is taking Michael Essien to task on his performance in the night's embarrassing 1-1 draw with Rosenborg. The former European footballer of the year tells Africa's finest midfielder that he tried to make too many passes through the centre of the Norwegians' formation where '70 percent of their players were'. Essien learns he should have been passing to the wings 'where they only had 30 percent of their men'.

You are Essien


And in response he sends back this message:


Hey Sheva!,

This clear disrespect for the Scottish-style game will cost you an "assist" tomorrow!, I may even elect to shoot from 12 yards out - rather than try to deliver a telling pass to you, only for you to pirouette yourself into the ground! This one needs to go on sickasaparrot.com!

And Essien's a dirty bastard, which is what I like about the scenario below ;-)

Ciao,

-Martin-

P.S. Shevchenko, Essien, Ballack - all expensive Duds that contributed
to Jose's downfall ... C'mon the Red Devils!



Rock on tomorrow morning..

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...
