Transfer Deadline Day

2011-08-31T22:18:00.001+01:00

Chilling with a Koppaberg watching transfer deadline day. It shuts in one hour.

C'mon Chelsea sign someone big!

Chelsea, Phone, Holiday

2011-06-22T15:47:00.003+01:00

So:

* Chelsea have a new manager.I think this is a great appointment; it seems like we have now properly replaced Jose Mourinho. I remember posting about Mourinho leaving (here) and felt it could be the end of our trophies. It wasn't we did win a few things since but I never really felt we had replaced the 'Special One'. I think now we have: we have a great young coach, who given the time, can really build a great squad that can go on to dominate England and Europe. For those of you a little more interested, here is a great read on our new manager: Andres Villas-Boas. Welcome to Chelsea, Andres.

* I have a new phone. I decided to go blackberry and I think it was a very good choice. I love it; it's so quick and just feels really professional. I prefer it to my previous iPhone which now looks like a toy phone. The communication and speed it really something and looks and feels very shhhexxy. Here it is:

* I am going on holiday Friday. Cannot wait; it's my first holiday of the year. I am going to Kavos/Corfu/Greece for 8 days with my friends and two of my brothers. I am currently making a playlist for some tunes out there. Roll on Friday, I can't wait to sip some ice cold beer whilst sitting around the pool in glorious heat. Then out at night to partaaayyyy. Just to get me even more excited, the weather is stunning.

The next Tiger?

Rory Mcilroy. The 2011 US Open champion. Magic. Pissed all over the Americans and everyone else. Such great mental strength after what happened at The Masters earlier this year.

This is the 22yr old's first Major. I expect more very soon. It's been a pleasure watching the last 4 nights.

Rain rain go away...

Great summer, eh?

Annoying

2011-06-14T02:54:00.001+01:00

Please see below post about my recent night shifts.

This has ended however my body clock has still not adjusted.

Dammm youuuuuuuuu night shifts.

Nights no longer

2011-06-11T23:26:00.001+01:00

Shifts that is. Tonight is my last ever night shift hurrah! No more 7pm - 7am, no more catching half hour sleep here half hour sleep there, no more annoying online alarm clock waking me up every hour, no more eating breakfast at 5pm when I wake up, no more driving in the opposite direction to everyone else and no more night shifts!

There have been good things about night shifts but they are out weighed by the bad. This is a picture of what my desk area looks like during one of these said night shifts:

Roll on 7am when I will be once again a day human being...

Just to let the world know and to remind myself of this day, I found out Wednesday that I will be an uncle in September/October to a little girl. I cannot wait.

Youth Football

2011-06-03T12:12:00.004+01:00

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13634800.stm

So the FA have come up with another strategic plan to transform England into the best national team in the world. Banning 11 a side games until the age of 13.

Yes banning 11 a side for a while does encourage more touches of the ball, smaller & tighter spaces so will encourage better first touches and teaches the young footballer how to create space for themselves whilst they are learning how to play.

However; only 7 people can play. It is already difficult to try and break into an 11 a side team let alone a 7 a side team. There will be less youngsters playing when they go to 11 a side at the age of 13.

The FA can make as many changes as they want at the grass roots level of football but until changes happen at professional level, our national team will still be left in the shadow of teams such as Spain and Brazil.

I'm sure the MI5 somewhere think there are two me's. Maybe not that serious :P

Here is a prime example, at football it is always wrong:

Also gives me the chance to show off my headline for a hat trick :)

Second Best

2010-07-14T01:28:00.002+01:00

This trophy takes pride of place amongst all my other trophies.

I have Kent cup medals, League Champions, Player of the year, Players player of the year and programmes of Saturday games. They are all sat above my wardrobe. However this medal doesn't. This medal sits right
on my bedside table. It's the first thing I see everytime I wake up.

It is a daily reminder that last season we didn't win the league.

I know you might think it is strange that I want this reminder but this above all other trophies inspires me. It makes me want to push that little harder.

It makes me want to train better, to get stronger and faster, it makes me want to learn more, it inspires me to get better. It makes me want to play as high as I can on on Saturdays. So it benefits Sundays.

I don't want to go out in Gravesend every weekend and be reminded that we didn't win the league last season. It was someone other than us.

It was the first time in seven years that we didn't win The North Kent Sunday League Premier Division.

It won't happen next season.

Football

2009-11-06T12:07:00.005Z

Seems to be taking over my life. I don't seem to see anyone any more :( I play it four days a week now. Training and matches. Training and matches. I'm not complaining because when I was little its all I wanted to do. I get to play on lovely pitches, great facilities, with good players, my dad has to pay to watch and I get paid and looked after. Not that bad. I suppose I have to make the most out of it, it'll all end when I get to my thirties. And then I'll probably look back at this and remember the good old days.

Tomorrow I am playing at Welling. Its well nice:

The photos do not do the ground justice. This one does:

Enjoy. Adios.

FIFA losing the plot

2009-09-03T16:56:00.002+01:00

So FIFA have decided to ban Chelsea from buying players until January 2011. hello big can of worms.

How many clubs in the past have tapped up players, forced clubs to
sell players they dnt want to. It happens every year. Will FIFA ban
Madrid? Of course not.

This along with the decision to ban Arsenals Eduardo for diving is
further proof of FIFA and UEFA's hate toward English clubs and their
dominance in Europe.

I hope both clubs appeal and I hope both get turned over.

Rant over.
