Flappy hands

We were playing well and keeping it tight with some great possession football only to find ourselves 2- 0 down after 15 mins. Taking pity on us the refs called for a water break and after some finger pointing and hand waving we got organized for the rest of the half and went in 3 - 1 down. 
Halfway through the second half Little Finger showed himself to be a team player by volunteering to go in goal. 15 seconds after going in goal Little Finger shows himself to be team player for the other team by letting the first shot against him sail through his hands to make in 4 - 1. Somehow we got it to 4 - 2, then 4 - 3 with my left foot curler from about 12 yards.

 At this stage Little Finger is saving everything and simultaneously proving that hands are both over rated and redundant for a goal keeper. 4 - 4 with 5 mins to go and they then get 3 quick corners with 2 mins to go. Balls are flying into our box from all directions, and not in a good way. We’re yelling at the ref to end the game when we get a breakaway and score with the last kick of the game. 5 - 4. Get in!.

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...

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 ...
