saturday

apparently we are meant to use these blogs to talk about non-journalism related things aswell, so thats exactly what im going to do.

today was my favourite kind of day. a day revolving around football. After a pretty intense thursday night birthday celebration, i spent friday sort of recovering and taking it easy, an also getting some much needed rest. Had a footy game today playing for CSM, and we are looking as if we are the team to beat in the league this season. Lucky because before joining i didnt know anything about them (or anyone else for that matter) they were a football side asking me to play for them which i was happy about.

I earned myself a starting place up front, which i was quite surprised about as i am not really a familiar face around the team yet, having previously played only 45 minutes for the team. Also the team we were playing against today were meant to be quite a decent side, one of the league challengers.

Again, i was pleased about that, because there is nothing i hate more than an easy football game, in which i dont feel as if i have contributed anything.

This lot was quite a rough bunch, giving you the odd kick here and there off the ball, leaving their foot in after a challenge, calling my mother all sorts of things (even though she is 500 miles away, im sure if they got to know her they would see what a nice person she actually is!) not a pleasant bunch. But i was loving it, the more attention i was getting from their players obviously showed they were not enjoying themselves out there. In the second half i had someone following me around trying to kick me out of the game, he was the unlucky one given that job, because lets face it, i mugged him off every time. lol.

We won the game 4-0, and are on course for a good league run. Although i didnt manage to get a goal, i feel as if my first goal is just around the corner. I do love to give a bunch of rough thugs like this lot a good battering, their manager was full of compliments to us after the match.

So far the day was going great with a good win for us, but no time to hang around and smile patronisingly at the other team, had to quickly run to the club house and check out the spurs.
1-0 up, they've just missed a penalty, come on you spurs! are we going to finally win away from home?! surely not?! no, surely not. within 5 mins they had equaliser, with a goal from gareth barry which, as quoted on the tv, 'he will never score a goal like that again'. bloody typical. aparently we were much better than them even though. Oh well, we will have to give West Spam a good hiding next week.
