Have I scored more goals than john sills this year can't remember him scoring any??

Well Im off to Essex, Wales, then Manchester. And a land of no internet access.

Merry christmas one and all, I'll score in the New Year...

New Years resolutions for 2 of our players:

1 Ghengis may update Shefford FC web page
2 Browny may let us see the Blackpool photos

Well your officially 49% chav.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone see you in the New Year

Makes you a rent boy.

Sunday was a good night, of what I remember anyway. Some fucker bought me a Man Utd Calender for my Office Secret Santa, think they thought they were trying to be funny. Makes a good doodle board though.
If I don't see any of you lot before, have a great Chrstmas and New year, see ya in 05.

It's better than working, and I get paid to do it!

Merry Christmas to you all lads, I'm not gonna be on here till the new year so have a good one!! sounds like sunday was it's usuall eventfull self!! Have a good new year. See ya all on the 9th!!

Hehe - just because you pull yourself in the office doesn't mean everyone else does.

I got fuck all. And I'm the only person in from now until New Years cause the wankers did the Xmas rota when i was off, leaving no spare days! Cunts.

I don't think a secret santa here would have produced anything as good as Shanes present... Or anything as crap as Pauls!!

Shane - I bet you pulled you own name out of the hat...

Office secret santa just delivered me a book titled "A Hand In The Bush, The Fine Art Of Vaginal Fisting". Merry Christmas everyone.

My taxi driver was nice, even offered to drop the price just for the pleasure of having me in the car with her. Think she was taking the piss. I thought I'd left with you lot, saw you getting in a vehicle figured it was a cab not the Genghinator.

Phat boy probably stopped cos neon doesn't shine through torn flesh very well, plus if he'd had to resuscitate you he'd have probably failed the breath test...

I wasn't trying to pull her at all! I was just after a free hair cut. I don't remember nearly getting run over though? He probably only stopped so I didn't dent his car.

You left with us ( Me Tony and matty). Do you not remember Atkins nearly getting run over by a ruuuuuuud boy? He was dancing in the middle of the road though. We were going to get a taxi then ghengis drove past. Matt still stood in the middle of the road so he had to stop!! We commandeered the vehicle! You had already sprinted of down the road cos you saw a taxi. You did wave and stick your fingers up as you drove off as we were clambering into ghengis's car. Your right about the girls, loads of em, all bush pigs! Especially mattys hairdresser he was trying to pull!!

Cock...

Reading manager Steve Coppell has banned his players from Christmas shopping - in case they get too stressed out.
Coppell wants the squad to focus all their efforts on the push for promotion and has cancelled all festivities.
He said: "As far as I'm concerned, Christmas is over and we get on with business.
"In a way it's easier for the players that way as they can now just concentrate on preparing for this very difficult period."
And any footballers' wives hoping to unwrap the obligatory tacky bling on the 25th can forget it.
"If the players have to go off Christmas shopping then it's not the ideal preparation," said Coppell.
"This may sound stupid, but having to fight the crowds in a busy shopping centre, going off visiting or having people visit you can be demanding.
"The wives wouldn't agree but I don't think footballers should be going Christmas shopping."

I thought you guys got a cab? Who did I leave Liquid with then? Ah well. Dancefloor full of girls, not one worth a second look, you know when you're in Newbury. I did like the style of that porn-star that said to Ad "buy me a drink and I'll see you later" and then proceeded to walk in circuits around the club fancying herself for an hour. Good job, cos no one else did. You'd itch for months if you touched that.

Lewis had your driving license in liquid matty. Good Day/night on Sunday boys. I was ok yesterday after I had something to eat, probably cos I had my hang over on Sunday night. Had a head ache all fecking night! The slapping game Atkins initiated ( That means started matty)
really helped in ghengis's Ute on the way home! Think Tony came of worse though.

Couple of ibuprofen yesterday and I was fine, a little tired but better than I expected to be. John, it's Blue Ball. Blue Boar were the nasty boys from Uffington, don't want to be bringing them on.

....and my driving licence is now officially lost!

I had one leg of my boxers left when I got home. I'll forward them to Mr Wild asap. I didn't wake up until lunch time yesterday so it's a damn good job I wasn't meant to be working!!

Superb result, good night. Merry Xmas, bring on the title chase 2005.

Work was tough, but I got through it, always good to be drunk whilst dealing with peoples money.

Good night yesterday boys, bring on Blue Boar...

Aw'right boiys? Jim ere, Jim Woild. Oi'm glad yoom aaaall enjoyed yooms Christmaaas night owt, but sum baaaastard put a pair o ripped up paaaants through moi letterbox at 4am and oi'm not haaaappy abowt it no. Big bugger's paaants too they were n oi likes little boys. Still, a good sniff or two and oi was feelin a bit better abowt things yes. Oi got the woif to sew em baaack together and now oi'm wearing em. Christmas come urrly so it 'as.

Merry Christmas Swan FC of Sheffurd, wherever yoom be.

Genghis 'fixes' the dish for the gooners... 

Dave tries out his new scratch and sniff hat...

I could do with some caffeine right about now. Otherwise I think I may sleep. And cry. I have no meetings. Phew.

Well played yesterday everyone, and a good night out last night, here I am at work, suffering, but happy having seen Matt's pants literally ripped off him and offered to a lady stood chatting with her boyfriend, along with his credit card and driving licence. Jokes over now.

My head is thumping, which was expected, but my mouth tastes like something I've not really tasted before, which scares me. £30 taxi home too, big female taxi driver, long dark roads, never been more scared.

Do we have a goalie?

I'm surprised Smurf was walking with no aids. I thought he was riddled with the stuff.

Tut. 2 dead arms...

Atkins you grass!!!!

Just seen the really poorly Smurf in the Hogs Heads on his works do! Walking with no aids, other than a pint! Ok, I did get paid to sit in the Hogs for 3hrs myself today but still.

Yes Paul, that was yours wages that paid me.

I'll say it for you mate.... Fucking Council.

You heard it on the radio??? How did it sound? "Yeeeeaaaaarrrrgghhhhh! THUMP Ach no!"?

Well I dont think we are having a scoring comp, but if we did, and I was losing, I would just knee Matty in the back. Wouldn't mean that I would win as I would still have to score, but I'd be happy.

Heard about the Jimmy Krankee thing on the radio...is it approproate to laugh at a 57 year old woman taking a fall?

Yes, obviously. Her kids must be so proud. If she has any. Which she probably doesnt. Lesbian.

http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13264864,00.html

Anyway, I think Mr Lamb is planning on getting the last train home, which presumably is after 8pm, so he's quietly confident.

Sesquipedalophobia is the fear of long words

Made me laugh Matty when you said about covering James's ass at left back...good joke.

Id like to be a Lord I think, but Im not to bothered.

Do we think Mr Lamb will make it past 8pm this time?

Oh and Im pleased that you're back James, its like youve never been away.

Literally.

I havent been here for a couple of weeks so I really havent noticed that you had gone.

How Dare You.

P.P.P.P.S I once knew a guy who every one called sir only because he filled the front of end of an ford escort bloody huge bloke, I think I'd also like to be a sir, Sir James Green!! Dreams up so many different aspirations of my porn career!! (In my Dreams)!!

Cheers boys, Appriciate it. It's bloody good to be back!! I'm not training tonight and not available for the sunday as I'm going to centre parks for the weekend but might get some five-a-side action (in the football sense!!). Anyhow have a great weekend lads and I'll see you all soon,

P.S is there any training on thursday before the christmas weekend??

P.P.S can you remember the last time any one put P.S on the end of a blog??

P.P.P.S.................................and so on!!!

Yeah... That's great news Beanie. I'll look forward to covering your arse at left back! Seriously, that is great news. No-one ever wanted you to go, and we're glad that you were going to see out the rest of the season. And I don't blame you for not wanting to be an Essex boy, ruins your footy career.

Although you'd have been the only essex boy with a goal to there name this season....

Unfortunately we're struggling with lifts up to the half way, we have 5 people and four spaces, so I can't help with the lift from the station situation. If we find another driver we'll have 3 spare seats, we're going up there about 2.30pm/3pm, if that's any good to anyone.

It's great to hear Mr Lamb will be attending! If he could get hear for 9am we could give him a run out.

I'd rather be a 'Sir'.

Sir Matty Atkins

Anyone can be a Lord, you can buy a title (I think even off Firebox.com as a Christmas gift these days, or for returning the coupon in a bottle of Laphroaig whisky) and I don't think you can become a "Sir" without allegedly earning it "Sir Alex, ha" so I'm quite happy being an Ubermeister.

Why is that a question you're asking?

Question of the day...

Would you rather be a Lord (not in the Steve Tab way...) or a Sir?

I know you're probably a bit gutted about the two moves Beeny, but it's good to have you back mate, no one in their right minds thought you'd wanna hack it out for long travelling all the way back here on a Sunday morning to play footy, so to know you're back for good (as Take That put it), is great news for us.

As for Sunday, great shout Paul the last time I was on telly my knob was out too - trouble is it was on Today With Des And Mel. That was the end of my career as a celebrity chef I can tell you.

Anyhow - might not be able to make training tonight, but shall see you all Sunday. I am picking John Lamb up from the station at some point so when he tells me his train time I will tell you and if any of you are in at around that time then you can get a lift with me. If you're not, I will be back at the pub getting drunk so you're on your own.

We have to watch tha arsenal match just think how much you can rip the piss out of me and sills if we lose which could well happen at the moment as we have got that dodgey spanish bloke from fawlty towers in goal!!! smurf wont want to miss an opportunity like this!!! Plus i dont really want to see myself breaking someone leg or getting booked for telling the ref to fuck off again

It is indeed time for me to score this season. In my defence, I have been in goal scoring positions 943 times so far, but unfortunately 941 of those times, Lewis had the ball. the other 2 I buggered up.

Beany, how come you're back?! What was so wrong with Essex? I knew it would fall apart if I left. Watching the Shefford match sounds good (although it may reveal some horrible truths...), but I think we shouold watch the Arsenal match as well...

Good Afternoon Gentlemen, Just thought I'd post cos i haven't for a while!!

To keep you all informed I have moved back from harlow to thatcham as things haven't quite worked out as expected, I'm still with my girlfriend but essex is just to much of a weird place to live ( take a look at john sills for meaning of this).

This means I will be available for training again, and such forth festivities.
I'm still away this weekend so unable to play and also attend the merryment that will exsume on sunday!!!

Anyhow in the mean time it's good to be back and will be good to see you all soon.

Ta Ta for now!!

I'm happy to be cameraman for the game, I'm assuming I'll at best be one of the subs and as I'm suffering from a stinking cold and seriously unfit that I'll probably be "4th sub" or "browny" as it's known in the game.

Think I should try and clear this taping of a game thing up. Paul wants me to bring my camcorder to the game this week so someone can sit there and record the game (providing its not raining) Then while everyone is having a few at the half way we connect it to the TV and watch the game whilst drinking. Paul thinks it could be quite funny watching it when everyone's wasted and taking the piss out of each other.

Sillsy - Don't you mean it's time for you to score a goal... this season?

I'm confused about this taping the game thing too. But no-one seems to be answering so I'll just talk to you John (and Smurf).

I don't think so Mr Sills i have checked with the Met office and they are not forecasting Gales this sunday so no goal of the season for you.

Hello? HELLO?! Did anyone read my post or has it been ignored on purpose you slags? Are you talking about taping the Shefford match?! Imagine the celebrations if we score...time for a goal of the season, me thinks...

Is Neil not playing in the match? Sounds like a fun idea but I'd rather Neil played and we pulled off a much needed result!!

Taping what match? Arsenal are playing Pompey at 4. Us Reading boys are going to rush back after the Shefford match, get changed and head back just in time for the Arsenal game, might need a lift from Newbury station to the Halfway though.... just thought I would mention that....could be a drink in it for someone...

yeah sounds good to me, could be a laugh. How are we off for squad on Sunday, anyone definitely not available?

Ghengis i need to know what is going on goalkeeper wise as my cousin is chomping at the bit and ready to go he has not stopped ringing me

I'll get you that spreadsheet today Mr Williams.

A fiver for half a pint?! You're living in a dream world Matty. I'll bring my cheque book...

Ghenginator when are you going to update shefford web page? I know yu are pretty busy doing all your Jackie Chan stuff 3 times a week but it isdoing my head in when i get on it and it says " Goalkeeper smurf giving one more season a go "

Atkins consider yourself a dead man walking

Your so kind Mike.

Hamster Norreys I was told a few weeks ago. Followed by the 'The Session' where we get Smurf drunk and watch him, and laugh.

...and watch Sillsy buy his half pint with a fiver, and argue it was a twenty! Once a student, always a....

Does anyone know if we have a football game this Sunday?

Sorry I didn't make training last week, needed to give my back a week off.

Smurfy, youve really let yourself go...

http://www2.b3ta.com/merrychristmas/

Crank up your volume and sing-along its christmas

I think the lack of any reaction says it all...

I'm getting my mum some Fabregas for Christmas.

Not to shabby a result, but why the f*ck is that Alumnia playing for us. I dont usually get annoyed with foreign players because they are quality players and for their price, we cant get as good players from England. But for gods sake, Stuart Taylor is a far far better keeper than him, and probably as good as Jens if a bit short of experience, and if we sell him I wont be happy. Stack is more questionable, but Taylor should have been the sucessor to big Dave without question.

Apart from that, I thought Fabregas was fantastic, what a player for a 17 year old, if he keeps going the right way, he will be the worlds best midfielder. Just hope he stays at Arsenal, with Reyes and Van Persie up front (both 21), Toure and Sendoros at the back (23 and 18), Hoyte and Cole full backs (18 and 22), you get the picture....

N.B. I may have got the ages slightly wrong, but if anyone picks up on them, I'll kick the ball at you at training. I'll miss, but the person standing next to you wont be happy.

Not really too nervous to be honest, pretty confident. More nervous about the Chelsea match, but then I would always prefer to win the premiership over Europe...

Shame you weren't available on Sunday John, we needed someone to take it out on after the game.

Bet it's been a while since Arsenal fans were this nervous about going into a home game against a bunch of Norwegian part-timers eh?

Ola Ladies,

I wont ask to much about Sunday, got a text from Crabbeman about it while I was away, the people in the cafe we were in seemed to be somewhat surprised to hear an English lad effing and blinding at 3pm on a Sunday. Its great though, you can say cu*t to them and they dont have a clue! Not that I would do that, very immature and uneducated. But quite funny at 8am when you havent been to bed for 40 hours and have just got out of a club which charged £5 a pint...

We'll have to wait for Genghis to confirm, but it looks like we might not have a game on Sunday. Had a message on my phone last night from Westwood, they're still in the Berks & Bucks Cup (???) which takes priority over league fixtures. Genghis is just checking with Dave Piper as to whether they can rearrange us another game in case another team is sat without a fixture too, so we'll have to wait and see, but at the moment - no game Sunday.

I used to hate them, but was pleased to see the Matt Le Tiss look-a-like and the Northern-boy defender with the ponytail omitted from their squad. Don't forget they've got the fire in their bellies this season cos they're 2nd in the league and can smell promotion, whereas we're having s a somewhat more relaxed season this year. There are plenty of worse teams, but then even Cold Ash had got better than they used to be. Chav Friend are a horrible bunch of benefits fraudsters, there's not many teams I'd rather not have to play again than them. Blue Boar, being possibly the only one, and even they were alright til Crabbeman tried to break all of their legs...

I turned to there centre back in the second half and said 'god, do you ever stop moaning' and he goes "moan, us, you obviously haven't played cold ash lately" !!

Just thought I'd add that. Although they were moaning a lot, running up to the ref etc. They weren't nasty like you said, I just seem to hate them! Not as much as Partick thou. And we've lost to them both. Wankers.

I thought they were okay - they've lost two of the main players who were right whingers, not good enough to be making the noises they made and made me want to throw bricks randomly just to de-stress. Sadly, those two were also a bit wank, whereas they were all reasonably decent players yesterday. Beatable for sure, they were far from untouchable, but it wasn't a nasty game. Mateyboy gave Tony a bit of a roughing up but Tony had him handled except for that 10 minute spell when he notched two goals. But he seemed alright. Quite look forward to playing them again cos I think if we have a bit more discipline, concentration and like you say, belief, then we can more than match them.

Another dead arm specialist...

Great.

No-one is blaming you for any of the goals Shane, we were all to blame as we should have picked them up long before they got shots off.

We can bounce back from it, we've done it before, will do it again. Just need to beleive in ourselves a bit more and try and play our game and get the ball on the deck.

....and make sure we give them a damn good thrashing at our gaff. I hate Vodafone.

And a Taylor. I suggest you all find yourselves alternative masturbation techniques asap cos if he tries to give you a dead arm, it's gonna stay dead.

Cant really blame you Shane as you done us a favour by going in goal.I spoke to to my cousin and he said he will sign,for those of you that don't know he is about 6ft 5 and a goalkeeper.

Sorry about Sunday boys - that 3rd goal really cost us dear. Other than that 10 minutes and a few spats of dodgy defending I thought we showed a good bit of character keeping our heads up and taking the game to them at 6-1 down. We knew that was a dodgy scoreline and they knew it too. To snap out of it like you did was quite an effort so don't be too gutted about it. We're still good enough to go up this season if things go our way, and we're way too good to go down, so we can use the rest of the season to continue to gel together like we have in the last two matches. Vodafone are a good team, but they're really not that much better than we are at the moment and no better than we can be.

Tough game Sunday boys Vodafone are a strong team but we beat em last season and we've beaten em before that too so it's gonna be a hard, concentration-filled, 90 minutes. In the meantime, office christmas party tonight so bring on the beer...

Your such a girl I bet your medicine is that banana flavored stuff taken on a tidy little plastic spoon!

Adam posted this on my account. Dead arm I reckon.

Your probably still be pissed from Sat night anyway so you won't even notice!

Your such a girl I bet your medicine is that banana flavored stuff taken on a tidy little plastic spoon!

Adam posted this on my account. Dead arm I reckon.

Your probably still be pissed from Sat night anyway so you won't even notice!

Yes mate it is. Ill give you a ring about quarter past, twenty past 9 when im just coming into baisingstoke. You should be ok smurfy, not planning on a heavy one on saturday night. Speak to ya sunday morning.

Adam is that a definite yes for sunday if so i will guide you in by phone when you are in Basingstoke.
Matty i want you to be scoring and assisting sunday.
Just thought i hope i dont have a reaction to my medication with all the alcohol fumes in the car with you.

That's fair enough Smurf, Lets hope Lewis gets a few goals to boast my tally.

I'm struggling with my hamstring after last nights killer step-up fiasco - which the Reading boys missed I might add! Everyones fitness should be up thou after a 8.30pm - 10pm training session!

Well Gentlemen, I am offski to Barcelona. My seat in the Nou Camp for Barce vs Malaga is being warmed up as we speak...

Good luck sunday, another result will do nicely. Although if we can win, with the midfield playing really shit, that would be better from my point of view.

Oi!

I can only give in to one of those demands Mr Atkins.
Crabbeman ask Browny if you can borrow his flag for sunday

Bastard. That means I have to get up early as well. Otherwise I'll have to drive half cut. You better make sure your quiet so I can get some kip.

This lift is on strict terms and conditions

1) A starting place
2) Man of the match
3) I get credited with Lewis's goals.
and
4) You transfer 5 of the dead arms you usually give me, on to Ghengis.

Thankyou gentlemen you will be able to get me at about 9.30 as it only takes 20-25 minutes to get to Henwick from Basingstoke.Your assistance is very much appreciated.

I just spoke to Lewis and he will drop you off afterwards smurf.

Yeah I can be your chauffeur for the day smurf. I'll let ya know what time. Guessing ill pick you up bout 9 ish, but ill confirm via a telegram. I have a meal to go to straight after that ive already put back a couple of hours, so ill make sure lewis or atkins can give you a lift back after.

What is the chances of me scrounging a lift from somebody for the game this sunday? I know Adam offered ages ago via text if i ever needed a lift so if any one could help me out please let me know.

Is it possible to have semi-wood? Bolsa wood maybe? Beeny doesn't come to training anymore anyway after he became a Londoner like you John. Oh... Knees ap mavver braaaaan.... Oi!

(All cockney songs end in "Oi!" with the obligatory thumb-up towards your shoulder whilst kicking your leg out) Maybe it's becawwws I'm a landanaa... Oi!

Beanie might...

In fact be worried if anybody has wood tomorrow night.

You'd better be worried if I turn up tomorrow night with a long, smooth piece of wood Mr Sills.

We are doing that thing you have 'plained' eh Shane? What is it? A piece of wood? A neat bedside cabinet?! Could never get the hang of the plaine myself, hard work.

Im still missing on sunday, watching Barce vs Malaga on Saturday night... Have I mentioned that?!

Cool, look forwards to that then boys. It shouldn't be too bad, and if we (you) appear to be fitter than I expected, which after your display on Sunday might not be that much of a surprise, we'll be back to playing the footy pretty quickly.

Well done for Sunday boys, I take it we won, makes a difference when everyone works hard.

Mikey, are you ever gonna update the Shefford F.C. Website?

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Is Gym another one of your mate's your bringing training?

Your weird, how can you do so much running on a Thursday and Sunday and still have the urge to go to the gym?

I run as much as I can on Thursdays and Sundays, so I cover slightly more ground than you, and I only get the urge to go to the pub.

Sunday 19th is good for me. I have my Xmas work do on the 17th so I'll stay in on the Saturday to make sure I'm in good health on the Sunday.

I'll go and book the Monday off now!

Thanks matty i already feel i am gonna do a better job than browny only joking mate you no i luv ya!!! Obviously the key to succes is to go to newbury racecourse watch a load of horses run round lose about £200-£300 drink 15-20 pints go to liquid drink lots of diffrent shots that make you puke pull a fat bird and eat a kebeb [hopefully not hers] if we had known this we would have been in the premier by now actually then we would have just started moaning that we only lost because we havent got any strikers!!!!! SHEFFORD SHEFFORD SHEFFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
does anyone no who we have got in the next round? or any good porn sites clearly for a mate of mine!!! just about to go to the gym sorry for swearing matt

Exactly, if they're so smart and worked us out that easily, why didn't they stop us? Fact is their defence was weak, their strikers were good on the ball but not good shooting with the ball and their midfield were good but sloppy, enabling Paul, Neil, Jamie and Adam to feed Matt and Dave for multiple chances. Never seen Dave play so well after turning up looking so rough.

Glad the back is on the up then.

Everyone okay for Sunday 19th December? Tough test in the morning against Hampstead Norreys, then a few quiet beers, then the museum.

I can't remember if there was any pain or problems before my back went, because i wasn't expecting it to go. My back aches now, but nothing like the pain I was in after each game towards the end of last season, I was struggling to actually walk then. So I'm pretty sure it's on the mend. Still keeping an eye on it though cause i certainly don't wanna go though that again. I just ache all over and have dead leg.

Crabbe - Being lino is easy, run up and down the line parallel to Tony, and every time he shouts and puts his arm in the air, stop and do the same.

Sounds very much like sour grapes to me. Surely if that was the case they would have scored on every attack. And if they think that's the answer to winning games, tell them to get one. (a Dave Lewis that is)

Crabbeman Make up your mind will you.Is it a big well done or a massive well done to the boys you cant have it both ways.
Superb team performance yesterday lads you wanted it and took it,played as a team.

Kennett who are you. Be afraid of the fat slow Goal machine called Lewis

I just wanted to say a big well done to everyone for sunday it sounds like everyone played a blinder and it was a great team performance. Thanks to mike for his suggestions it sounds like i will be fighting browny for the coverted linsman flag i will be asking matty for some tips on 2nd thoughts!!! i have got the week off so you will be getting lots of crappy msge like this on the blogger im afraid

Can you tell the difference between just a bit of post-match stiffness and the actual pain you had in your back though? Is it any better?

Been talking to the guy who plays for Kennet and apparently they were all saying afterwards that all we do is give it to Dave Lewis for him to win the game. Slightly sour grapes I feel, as if that is the case why didn't they just stick their entire defence onto Dave, thereby automatically winning the game? Also, if they don't realise that giving the ball to your strikers is a key element of scoring goals, which in turn is a key element of winning a match, they shouldn't really be playing footy in the first place. Finally, both of our strikers scored goals, whereas none of the 5 strikers they played throughout the 90 minutes scored at all. You can't have a go at us for having good strikers who score goals.

They had enough warnings of Dave's ability to outpace their slightly aging and lost-for-speed centre-back and they didn't react to it. Foolishness and strictly non-football genius.

I just wanted to say a massive well done to everyone for yesterday it sounds like everyone played a blinder and it was a great team performance. Thanks for your comments mike it looks like i will be fighting it out with browny for the coverted linsman flag i will be asking matty for tips on 2nd thoughts!!! I have got this week off so unfortunatley there will be lots of these crap msges on blogger

I'm a walking (aching) zombie today.

But a bloody happy one after yesterday!

Nice one boys.

BOUNCEBACKABILITY

Cheers lads cos that was one of my old mates playing for Kennet yesterday and for about 7 years now they've always been at least one division above us and we've never played them in any competition, so it was great yesterday to finally play against his team (even though we were both subs and he only got 10 minutes at the end and I didn't get on at all) but to beat them, in the form they're in at the moment, was an amazing result and means I get to spend today emailing abuse at him.

I won't be too harsh actually cos he was their lino who indicated that Matt's shot had actually crossed the line, but I'll still rub it in a little bit.

Strange cos after the first few minutes it just seemed like an ordinary game, they had a lot of posession but we looked more dangerous, we shift the ball quickly sometimes which works well against teams who like to push their fullbacks forward and Mikey's right, the work from Dave, Matt and Neil chasing down their defence meant that they were never settled and we forced errors out of them, which we then punished. Totally superb.

SHEFFORD FC............ GIANT KILLERS

I broke 4 really... 2 of mine and 2 of the other blokes

Hard bastards only break one bone.

Good session last night it was good to see lots of commitment ie bone braking tackles from dave frew good to see your hols hasent effected you mate!!! unfortunatley i was in the red team how only lasted about 2 mins each game sounds familar!!! unfortunatley i wont be out there sunday i would love to get stuck into a prem side that think they are gonna have an easy game so lets go out there and show the commitment we had last night and you never no what can happen. Good luck sunday boys see you thursday

dont be such a poof im a hard bastard remember

Sadly I will be seen at training no more, as of a week yesterday I move to essex and will not be wanting to make the journey to try and kick dave lewis in the shin........So any change from last season I think not!!

COol no problemo, I shall be there and shall drive carefully while you're in the car, avoiding all bumps and drain covers.

35 Gower Close Basingstoke RG21 5GX

Good training last night lads, certainly quite a lot of effort put in. Try not to get too frustrated with the teams and stuff - when there's a lot of people there it's tough to give everyone the same amount of time - I don't think I ever had that many people in that hall while I was boss, but I remember once before trying to rotate teams using a different system and it descended into utter chaos.

Tried to give every player a number, then players 1 to 5 were a team against a team of players 6 to 10, while 11, 12 and 13 watched. Then when one team lost, the first three numbers went off and were replaced by 11, 12 and 13. That was the easy bit, after that it became clear that what the fuck happens next? No bugger could count, if the team now consisting of 11, 12, 13, 4 & 5 lost, then should that be 4, 5 and 11 going off and 1, 2 and 3 going back on, then what? 13, 1 and 2 go off? Nightmare.

All I can suggest is that at the end of a game, when a team has won, that you just give it a second or two to listen to what the new teams will be - it was right last night where possible to stick the players wearing red on the same team, just a shame that they kept getting beaten quickly. And if you find yourself getting less footy cos you keep losing, tough, get better, quick. No easy way to manage an odd number of players, and with only an hour to play, we just have to get on with it as best we can. I suggest if you want to get more time on the pitch next week, you wear blue.

There was some good footy played last night though and it was good to see Dave Frew back and straight into things again like he'd never been injured or away shooting guns in Vietnam.

Tough tough game ahead on Sunday, I think if we'd drawn Kennet in any of the last 3 seasons we'd have given them a very stern test and may well have turned them over. Sadly, this season they seem to be a lot stronger than before, so we'll have to be well prepared for em.

Smurfy let me know your house number and postcode and I'll come and get you. Might need to be an early start, pick you up about 10 to 9?

Just found out that my possible lift for sunday has now let me down so if anybody was able to give me a lift it would be more than appreciated got to take the mrs with me though as she wont let me out on my own at the moment so if any one could sort me out let me know by blogger or on my mobile cheers.

Sorry, just thought I'd read in your earlier blog that we were away to Kennet. My mistake. Smurfy we're at Northcroft. I'm very tired.

We're at Henwick Smurfy, be good to see you there if you can make it. If you're struggling for a lift then give me a shout.

Dan mate I'm gutted for you too, only one bone gone though, which is what happened to me - mine went at the end of October and I was back playing at the end of February, so you'll have to see how it goes. Sorry to hear it was a bad tackle too, but look on the bright side.

Kind of tailed off a bit there didn't I. Should have rehearsed it a bit really.

No Smurfy, I wouldnt be so tactful if that was the case...!

Mr Sills is that your way of telling me you don't like me and don't want me to come?

Just be careful if you do come Smurfy, I have this thing where, whenever someone with a broken leg or arm coes to the football, I really worry that they will be hit by the ball, or someone will run into them or something. Saying that, Im not playing, and therefore not shooting, so you should be safe...

Where is the game at this sunday as i am hoping to wangle a lift and make a guest appearance and give you some moral support from the sidelines.

They thought the Bernabeu stadium was bad wait till they hear my abuse.

well we're not going down and we're not going up so we may as well see how many teams we can upset between now and the start of next season - lots of change at the club with the injuries and new guys so it'll take a while before we find the flowing footy again, in the meantime we just need to show some character and stick at it, like being 2-0 down against MDM, easy to forget those games and remember the defeats instead. We're still a good team, even when we're not playing well. Kennet should be a good test. I have a thought but I'll run it by Genghis and see if he thinks it's worth running by you guys on Thursday.

I think its fair to say that it hasnt exactly been a settled season...! As I say, Frew should be training this week and Craig hopes to start playing again in december. Stu, Robs mate should be training with us a bit too, he is a pretty good player so handy to have around if needs be. Soon, the Reading crew will be back in full force....

Well I suppose a pina colada gut sounds slightly classier than a beer gut... I think. Lets hope you manage to post your holiday photos on here a bit quicker than Browny has his Blackpool ones.

Yep, unfortunately it's not a dream. He broke it playing for his Saturday team, a bad tackle from what I gather. He's aiming to be back in January. Mark seems a decent keeper obviously the result doesn't reflex that, but the goals weren't his fault. He's pretty similar to Smurf, very good at talking and commanding his box, and scared of nout.

I played about 55 minutes against Partick, was unfit but did what I could and ached all over the next day! My back wasn't too bad, ached for a couple of days but recovered fairly well.

Whoa Whoa Whoa Gun-Jumpers, I have news. Mr Frew is back from Thialand and back from injury (those Lady-boys have healing hands, apparantly), and is coming training on thursday, so Im guessing he could make it on sunday. Although he would have to get there himself, and anyone who remembers his efforts to get to the end of season do this year (when he ended up at the Nawab, in Thatcham) may start to have doubts...

Oh stop teasing us Mike. Tell us. Go on.

Yeah superb holiday - too many photos, dunno which one to shove up on here first. Got buzzed by a shark and came ominously close to having two moray eels go for me (though it would have been my fault) and have renewed my love affair with pina coladas.

Mark sounds like he's willing to fill Smurf's boots quite well then getting booked after 10 minutes, so has Dan broken his leg too then or am I just dreaming that? And I take it you're back playing? HOw has your back reacted to that?

He's our new keeper, and he got booked after about 10 minutes on his Shefford debut! and injured I might add, but it was only a twisted ankle as far as I know. He looks pretty good.
Lewis found him after being told he was in goal until we had a replacement for The Cat.
It took him 3 minutes and one phone call. A damn sight quicker than he moved against Partick!

You have a nice holiday?

So, anyone care to update me then? Two players with broken legs? 11 player squad (12 now but god knows how fit I am!!!)

Give yourselves a break lads you had a storming performance against Shalbourne until the leg break and so it's only been one loss against Partick who we know produce good stuff against us. Take a breather, we'll have a good go at it against Kennet and then back to concentrate on the league. We can't win every game.

Who's Mark and why did I come back to a form saying that he's been booked?

Neil you spelt retarded wrong !

(I probably have as well!)

Paul looking at your proformances this season, I thought you had already retired?

I am available sunday ghengis

11....(Eleven)... And that's including me I assume. Surely we can get more than that, I'm not sure I'd last the whole game, and we have the Hennessy Gold Cup on Saturday = 15 hr drinking session.

Obviously I will if i have too. Could prob get a ringer, (a player who is not signed for the club) not a sore one Smurf.

If Sillsy isn't here, does that mean I'm stuck out on the left wing again?

Huh... I've had 55 minutes of football this year and already your calling for me to be dropped!

My backs a bit hit and miss, it was quite bad for a couple of days after and has just been coming and going since. I'm ok for Sunday though Mikey. I want a cup run this year, anything other than the final just won't be good enough.

Sills, I'm going to score on Sunday, making my tally 2. Well out of your reach.

Fair do's boys, didnt mean to sound arsey, just was having a shit week, and its just so frustrating knowing how well we can play and have played, and its even more annoying that there is not simply one logical answer, like 'dropMatt' (just an example, you understand... ;-) ...). I think we all just need to work harder for each other. When we won the league, we did it by playing as a team, celebrating as a team, and constantly supporting each other (and taking the piss out of each other) throughout the match.

Lets be honest though, we have been shit this year, but, as far as I am aware, we are still in a good position in the league. Although I'm not there on Sunday, you lot should just get out there and play like we can, and play for each other. And if you lose, it will be easier for me to get back in the team!

Matty, hows the back?

I don't think anyone is criticizing you or the work rate you put in, "At times yesterday we looked good and were looking to pass it out wide and actually get some flowing movements going," that's basically complimenting you as I know how hard it can be to get into the game out wide, and hopefully you can appreciate how little we pass the ball out there, cause I used to feel people were deliberately not passing to me!
"Other times we just started to panic and just twated it up field." That's not saying there weren't options available, that's saying we sometimes panicked and whack it rather than trying to get some moves going.
I'm not and I'm sorry if it sounded like I was, criticizing anyone, we're all in the same team and all have to work for and with each other.

I know its been a while since the match but I've been in Cardiff on a course, so couldnt get on the blogger, but Im still pretty pissed off about Sunday. Mostly think what people are saying is right, but I'll admit to not being happy that people are saying there were no options and that we 'had to twat it upfield' because of it. I worked fucking hard on sunday and ran my arse off getting into positions, then screaming for the ball and not getting it. Im not saying I had a great game etc., but in my opinion there were options and I did want it to feet, but the ball wasnt forthcoming! Probably because you all think Im shit and I'd lose the ball. Probably true.

Anyhow, I wont be available until the 11th December now, you'll be pleased to hear. Im off to Wales, then Barcelona. Take your pic over which you would prefer...

Aftrenoon all, About mike post yesterday, i agree that the midfield got pulled out of posistion on sunday, there centre midfielders were excellent at opening up space. but we did seem to have to close down there defenders as well which i think should have be the strikers job. We do need to start defending as a team and not just leaving it to the "defenders". Im not having a go at the strikers but i do think they need to put in a bit more effort closing down there defenders. I think we missed neil on sunday cos he does a lot of closing down up front that goes unnoticed.

We just need to believe in ourselves a bit more and get the ball on the deck and start playing the way we know we can.

I would like to join the sick list for a few days as i just got out of hospital this morning after an operation. I will be using smurf's tips on crappy daytime tv programmes for the next week!

it's been 4 day i am also borded shitless, the only thing keeping me sane is the fact i have an internet betting accout and currently making anbout 30 quid a day (thanks racing channel), i haven't got as low as ricki lake etc yet but i'm getting tempted.

Dan you faggott can you do anything right? Only breaking one bone at least i do things properly and break the tib and the fib.
I have now been home from hospital for a week and i am already bored shitless i am now a follower of: Des and Mel,Trisha,Ricki Lake, casualty,Holby City and The Bill on UK Gold and loads of other shit that i can find on daytime TV
OH and the racing Channel.

Hope to get to see some of you soon

After Reading blogs on a Monday after games we have lost it seams to be the same reaction, "we can do better", "we should be doing this", And so on, And I for one have posted a few, But after Sunday two things stick out in my mind, Working for each other as a team, Actually wanting to have the ball to feet looking and passing to feet, As a team as matt so nicely put it, "Twating the ball" Was the only option we had! The other thing was movement, to many times we put pressure on ourselves by standing around being static not giving the player on the ball the option, Running away, thus leaving us the only option "twating it upfield". Fair point by matt that Matt (in goal) Is excellent and not a lot he could have done for the goals.
As a team we can be devastating going forward, Too many times this season we are terrible at getting back.
Shane also said he has let us slide away from training, I don't think its his fault we as a team have let ourselves slide too if we wanted to win we would work harder, train better and look like the team that won a division and runners up in a cup.

Shane - Lost 5-2 after going 2-0 up after 15 minutes, they got one back, we dropped our heads and never recovered. I think everyone was pretty gutted and felt we could/should have done more to get back into the game so hopefully that will be the turning point.

Mike - dunno what happened to you after the game, we did MOTM at the pub. The results for your little black book were...

1st - Mark (Keeper)
2nd - Matt
3rd - Taylor

Umm you could say that Shane, I saw another broken leg, or shall i put it better, i have a broken leg. I'm going to be out until the end of January , begining of Febuary, i have a fracture to the fibula.

I take it we lost to Partick (again) then? And I take it it wasn't a particularly pleasing performance? Thought as much as none of you bastards would txt me the score on Sunday... I'm only in the Maldives, not like on the other side of ah fuck it

Either way, I can get incoming txts, just can't send any for some reason.

This league is wide open and you guys are the best team in it, absolutely ridiculous that you're not already top, but still long enough to go for you to be there at the end. You're still suffering the hangover from the lazy start to the season that I let you have, just keep working at it and it'll come good, everyone knows that and everyone can see it click now and then - just not as often as it might have been.

Fair enough for Sunday especially after what you lot saw last Sunday, hard to go into every tackle 100% and stuff - Dan did you guys see more legs bust on Saturday then? Must think your numbers up eh? Play in midfield don't you?

So no game this Sunday then? Cool that means I'm back for training before the next match. I might ask Genghis for permission to put you through a little fitness test. Anyone who doesn't match Julie is in for a fucking hard night.

That's not what I mean Smurf...

Do you know any fat page 3 girls I can chase then?

We really haven't got going this season, as Dan says there is very little talking going on, very few 'man on' or 'time' shouts which are so important. At times yesterday we looked good and were looking to pass it out wide and actually get some flowing movements going, other times we just started to panic and just twated it up field.

There's room to improve in all areas, but they are all improvements we know we are more than capable of achieving. I think we need to just take each game at a time and forgot this 'we know we can win the league' talk. Mikes right that we all need to look at our own aspects of the game and try to improve them and hopefully we'll get out of this bad spell pretty soon.

I think it's fair to say that Marks a great keeper, calmed everyone with just his talking so the panic over losing 'The Cat' should have settled. It's a shame we have a week off now, I for one on Sunday morning will be going for a 10 mile run before 7am, so I expect everyone to show that sort of commitment and do the same, we'll let Dan off with 5 miles.

From the sideline yesterday it was possible to see/ hear that there wasn't much communication between players on the pitch. That’s one thing I think could/ should be worked on.

Going back to the point that Shane made on Wednesday on blogger about page 3 girls I think all players should end any relationship and start looking for a page 3 girl, considering how many broke legs Dave and I have seen over the last 2 weeks, Lol

You're right, I havent got a chance with any page three girls anymore, they have heard about my reputation. I would ruin them for other men.

In all honesty, Genghis did a job on me by starting with the line "We're 3-0 up but we've got two players with broken legs." Now I thought that that meant there were two Shefford players with broken legs, which meant that Dave Crabbe had to be involved in it somewhere, even if he wasn't one with a bust bone - so I figured something must have happened in the midfield area.

Naturally I didn't really want any of our players injured and hoped that Genghis had in fact just got mistaken and in fact we were 3-0 up and then he just meant to stop talking. Sadly not.

However when it turned out that only one bust leg was on our side then because my expectations were worse, I almost felt some relief. Whoever it turned out to be it would still be a complete nightmare, just we have one goalie (none now) and 17 midfielders.

But it's up to you guys to bounce back on Sunday and not let it get into your heads. Think about the number of minutes you've spent on a pitch and the number of times you've seen something like that. The odds are very low. You've got more chance pulling a page 3 girl. Not you John.

Heeey Smurfy? Gotta tell you mate, when Genghis phoned me up and said "we've got a broken leg" my first reaction was "please let it be a midfielder" but there you go you can't have everything.

So, you watching Des & Mel yet? When I broke my leg I found that Weird Science; The Series kept me occupied, but that it was hard to stop eating just to pass the time. Beer wasn't such an issue as when you begin to stagger it hurts like hell...

Guess Who's Back

For any of you with a mortgage, you may find you already have this sort of thing.

You can get it lots of places, HSBC (for example, not being a salesman!) can do you Income Protection, so if anything stops you working we will pay a large % of your income (free appointments with a Financial Planning manager, dont you know), which is quite a good idea as it covers accidents, sickness, and unemployment. If you get it at our age (well, my age) its fairly cheap, 10-15 quid a month...

The club, through the Berks & Bucks, gets public liability insurance, but I don't think that's much use to us as individuals if we hurt ourselves. I think it's more if we have a shot and it hits someone behind the goal in the eye (just thinking of Dave Lewis' shooting) and they try to sue us for it.

As for personal injury insurance, we don't get any through the league and we don't have anything as a club - I don't know of any clubs who do, it's just one of those things. Probably most guys when something like this happens suddenly realise the risk, but then if you fall down some steps on a night out and break your ankle you're in the same position (literally). Depending on what you do for a job and what you get in terms of sick pay considering how long you might be off work for a broken leg, it might be worth everyone considering either:-

a) getting insurance as a club - however this would involve everyone making regular payments and the stuff I've ever seen from people who supply this look like complete sharks who would jump at the chance to think of reasons why this particular accident doesn't come under their cover...

or b) getting personal insurance, which I believe Smurf has because of what happened when he broke his arm at work and realised what missing work actually means to someone in his profession. I would think all the main insurance companies provide something like this, so it's fairly easy to get a quote and set up cover, I have no idea of the likely costs.

Ghengis or Shane any chance either of you could find out if We as a team or players are covered by the f.a or are we supposed to have personall insurance?

Just had the NWN call me to ask about Smurf, so watch out for a piece in the paper this week about the break. Does anyone know how he was feeling about work/money/salary stuff? I think he's got personal insurance but dunno about how this will affect his job.

No I didn't get to leave work til about 7pm so there was no way I'd have got to Swindon in time, then Anne phoned to say he is hopefully out today anyway so I figured he wouldn't need visitors so much.

Even having broken my leg I can't comprehend what pain he must have been in, mine was a simple one-bone break and everything stayed in the same shape, so nothing compared to the double-bone leg-flopper he got, what a nightmare.

Did you go up and see him Shane? We were thinking of going on Friday as some of us have the day off, but his missus said he might be out today providing he can walk down the stairs. She said he's been pretty upbeat and just taking the p*ss as always, so mentally I assume he's fine.

As previously said, he was bloody brave, you could see there pain he was in but still managed to have a laugh. And still managed to show the paramedics his bald manhood!

Nutter.

Change of plan - Smurf now is due to come home today after responding well to the op, so don't go visit him tonight cos he won't be there and you'll end up wandering round a hospital ward shouting "Smurf?" and they'll probably keep you there for a few days...

Absolutely Gutted. Horrible, horrible stuff.

I must say I was very impressed (if not unsurprised) that Smurf was still coming out with funny comments etc even whilst being in agony. Could have been something to do with the Gas...

Ive got my new broadband connection now, you cant tell, but Im writing this 10 times faster.

Be glad when your back on your feet smurf fast healing mate. Shane/Mr.Gengis on a different note, myself and Simon where talking on the way home after seeing smurfy with two knees and being able to walk like an ostrich, Are we actually covered by the F.A for such unfortunate circumstances or are we supposed to have personal insurance? (Just thought I'd put a bright spin on things) Get well smurf see ya soon!!

Julie and I are going to visit him tonight and I have already suggested we keep an eye out for any spare uniforms in cupboards, etc...

For those of you who may have the time, Smurf is in hospital at Swindon for the next 6 days - he went in for an op yesterday evening to have rods and pins put into his leg - visiting hours are 2pm to 8pm and he's in Linnett Ward on the the 3rd floor at Swindon Hospital. If you can't find it just look out for what direction the most pissed off nurses are walking away from.

As for you guys, it's always horrible to see something like that and really puts the spooks on you - I was lucky when I broke mine as it stayed the same shape, Smurfy hasn't come off quite so lucky sadly, but we all take a risk just getting up in the morning and if you think about the number of times you've played footy in your life and the number of broken bones you've actually seen. the percentages turn out pretty small.

I've not spoken to Smurf himself but apparently he's feeling quite happy with himself cos he saw the Shalbourne player at the same hospital with the same type of break and he was on oxygen and Smurf didn't need it. Surprised he didn't give him a dead arm on his way past...

Absolutely.

Get well soon Smurfy...

Gutted.

Okay okay sandra's, Must say It's not my type of game, Anyhow back to reality, what kit are we wearing on sunday shane? Hows retirment? seams like all your gonna do all day is play with yourself...sorry ps2. (same thing)

Somehow my game came with a character with 100% sex appeal already.

Sadly lacking in stamina though, never been the same since he broke his leg apparently.

Looking forward to Friday night which will be my next chance to get stuck into it. Dose Julie up on red wine and send her to bed, then join her at about 4.30am...

San Andreas is awsome, i had it on pre-order for around 4 weeks, come on friday and played it all Saturday. Much better than Vice City, so many more little things that you can do, and as you say Shane 30% is the Missions and trying to get your respect up, Stamina, Sex Appeal.

Its wicked, some of the missions are quite hard, sa good tip when doing the drive by, is to just run the bastards over. Hell of a lot easier.

I don't tend to use the cheats - rather get the gameplay experience first of all - the cheats will always be there so why rush? My mate has bought the strategy guide already, whereas I prefer to get beaten a few times and play the game properly first before learning how to do it all. If I get stuck on a mission I'll ask you guys before resorting to a walkthrough or a cheat code. In fact, come to think of it, I don't think I've ever input a cheatcode on the PS2 on any game ever.

I feel righteous.

I really can't wait, I'm just teasing myself until I get it. Me and Cat are buying a new big telly for Christmas for ourselves, so I figure I should wiat until then and play it in all it's 32 inch glory. Cat thinks we are getting the telly to watch Love Actually and Bridget Jones. No.

Do either of you use the cheats to get all the weapons? Are the weapons good...?!

Shelbourne away huh? Lets hope it's windy...

I found it quite hard to see things on the map, haven't really played it long enough to experience night yet though so haven't found the whole screen going too dark at this point. Will hopefully get a bit more time on it tonight though if I get Love Actually out on DVD for Julie or something... Wanna get some tattoos and get my guy in the gym. Pimp up my ride and go cruising with some ho's on the 213. No idea.

Not to much further then that to be honest, got it on Sunday and only played it for about 3 hours. Just done a drive by which took me ages as they seem to shot back and blow up your car. Does yours seems to go really dark easily and its hard to see what your doing?

How far have you got Neil? I've just done some of the very early missions, got myself an affro and a goatee and started spraying over rival tags. Tried to go for a bit of a wander last night but then had to go out, just not getting the time to play it this week and looking like it's going to be like this right up til we go on holiday, meaning I won't be able to get stuck into the game until December!!!

Shalbourne away on Sunday, fond memories of that place.

San Andreas, what can I say - Its superb!!

I bought it on Friday lunchtime but only managed to get about 30 minutes play out of it before having to go to Torquay to spend time with the family...

My first impressions are that it's shit hot. It's also very very large indeed. Apparently the missions only account for about 30% of the gameplay. I've beaten up a couple of people so far but only nicked one car - spent the rest of the time on my BMX gaining skill points and burning off some fat... Found my first gun and blew some ho's heads off. Then had to go and play Halloween with my 3 year old niece - bit of a change of tack. Hoping to get some more time on it this weekend...

So has anyone bought GTA yet? Reviews, please...

Smurfy - £10 was it that we bet about who would be top by the end of October? I'll take it in a crisp and fresh ten pound note please...

Sorry I culdn't make it to training last night lads - Genghis took great pleasure in dropping me for this week's match (even though I can't be there anyway).

Good luck on Sunday against Travellers Friend, just remember it's a 90 minute match. You saw how they reacted to going a goal down, but you know their strikers will keep plugging away at you for the full 90 no matter what. You know you can score against them and you know you can keep them out for long periods of time too, so just try and stay switched on and do not under any circumstances let them get you riled. If they're winding you up then you won't win by having a go back at them, you'll win by not doing that. Once you get into the whole "You're gay" "No you're gay" argument it's hard to see a clear winner, but if you get the "You're gay"...









...argument then you'll find you come out on top. I couldn't care what scum like that think about anything, let alone me or anyone I know, in fact if they're having a go at something about me, that makes me happy cos I'd worry more if any of them liked me. So let it go, it's only 90 minutes and if you can get through it without reacting to any of their comments then you're a better person.

The other thing to do is keep telling people when they've done something good, if one of their attacks has come to nothing, be vocal about our good defending, good passing, etc... As that keeps our spirits up and knocks theirs down a bit each time. You can see it happen from the side lines, cos the same happens if they start doing it. Congratulate each other on the good things and motivate each other if they start getting cocky. Do not shy away from it, you don't have to confront them or fight them, you just don't need to hide either.

Paul will already be there, 2nd floor in the 18th Century department in a glass case.

Neil cant bring his Grandparent,will Paul do ?

Browny where are these bloody pictures ?

Cheers Browny (literally) and yes I'll still be here for a few years to come yet, still helping out organising Newquay/Blackpool/wherever and definitely still going to those things too!

For this year's Christmas do for example I was thinking of maybe a day up at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, then maybe a walk around St Pauls. Partners not invited but bring a grandparent. Fun.

I reckon that must be the hardest level to manage. Sod the pressures of the Premiership, I could handle that with a 7-figure salary, but you think the pressure is any less if you manage Walton & Hersham FC and earn £17,000 a year? You end up in the same place if you're 2nd from bottom at Christmas, you just don't have as much dosh to spend to cheer yourself up.

Give me the role of turning around Blackburn's fortunes at the bottom of the Prem anyday above taking over AFC Wimbledon 8 points clear in the Ryman Div 1 with 2 games in hand... And give me the accompanying paycheque too. Even if Hughes gets sacked after 3 games he'll still have earned more than Dave Anderson (successful AFC boss) gets in a year.

The real money these days is in sex. I'm off to shag David Beckham and sell my story to the paper.

Absolutly gutted to hear that you are calling it a day as manager mate, Have to say though in the 6 years that I have been playing for Controlware/Shefford, we have never had anyone who got the team working together as unit and playing for each other like you have.

I may have dragged alot of players along to training when we were at college but they all have been brilliant, and you got us all playing well together. The divison 2 chapionship and Cup final shows that.
Glad to hear that you are not packing it in completely and are still playing.

As for the future Im sure Mike will also do a fantastic job and we will all give him our full support. (As he has learnt from the best)

Three cheers for Shane, hip hip, HORAY,
hip, hip, HORAY, hip, hip HORAY.

Bellamy For AFC Dons

I think the league win kudos should be shared by everyone, as I really didn't think we would do it and everybody else did. And bizarrely Browny should take some credit as it was him who introduced most of today's squad to the club. But the team spirit thing I am quite proud of as it's maybe the hardest thing to quantify and explain, in the end you can get promoted/relegated or stay mid-table but as long as you've got a good team spirit it doesn't really matter. Helps to win leagues though eh?

AFC drew at the weekend in the league to the team in 2nd place. That's the worst run in the club's history, played 2, lost 1, drawn 1. Sack the board...

Mr Sills it is a well known fact that the majority of United's are from the south probably as all the teams down here are all shite.

Well what can I say, gutted that you wont be managing anymore, but at the same time really pleased that you're still planning to stay around. You can concentrate on your playing career again now...! You have to take a hell of a lot of credit for turning a 2nd division mid table team into a title challanging 1st division team, and being able to keep the team spirit as well.

And Smurfy, lots of Man Utd fans seemed to be heading back south on the M6 and M1 on Sunday evening. Odd That.

The game was pretty poor - Rooney dived but Ronaldo should have had a penalty anyway. Arsenal played better footy but overplayed it. Neither team deserved to score, neither team deserved to win, United won 2-0. Funny old game.

God knows how Neil got his pound to stay in the hole after he twatted it at the ceiling like that.

Very quiet on here today are all the Arsenal boys in hiding.
Can i be the first to say well done and what a great job you have done during the years of your reign,Ghengis will be fine the lads just need to give him the chance and i will give him my full backing using all the experience i have gained over the years.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY.

Morning gents. Just wanted to explain my announcement yesterday in a little more detail. It basically comes down to the fact that this is my 5th season in charge and the fact that I'm finding other demands on my time which have always been there beginning to naturally take a bit more priority - evident in the number of games I've not managed to make this season so far, or have left half way through, etc... I think that me taking my foot off the gas has resulted in the team as a whole not hitting the same pace as we have for the last few seasons.

I think also that where we have been quite successful that there's a danger that given everything above, I'm maybe sat back on it a little bit. So I came to thinking that maybe it was time someone else took the reigns and drove the club on from here. Once I found that thought had entered my head, I was pretty much assured that it was therefore the right thing to do. I was going to keep hold of things for a little longer in the season, maybe til the New Year, but then it looks like I'm going to be missing quite a few games over the next 4 to 6 weeks and didn't think it was fair to desert the team like that, then come back for 2 games and retire then. That's why yesterday was the day.

As for the future, all I'm doing is retiring as manager, and other than the next 4 weeks, I shall be around just as much, training and playing/running the line/dressed up nice and warm... and here for Genghis to use to his discretion. I'll also be acting as a financial buffer until the end of the season, but everybody is going to have to get used to bringing subs with them on Sundays cos it's not fair to expect Genghis to sink the cost of the pitch and the refs like I have been - it's been my choice to do that, I'm not moaning, just saying that that's one thing that will have to change.

And as for Genghis, I had no trouble in deciding to retire cos I knew that he was there ready to carry on, he's seen the way I ran the club and worked bloody hard alongside me, you can't argue about his commitment or his will to win and with everybody's backing and input I think he's the right choice to inject a bit of urgency back into the club which I think I've let slip this season. He'll no doubt make some fuck-ups, as I did, but he'll learn from them, as I (sometimes) did, but you know him, he knows you, so there's no reason you can't move on from here. The league is still wide open, but we're still not quite firing on all cylinders, so there's an opportunity there but work needed to take it. I'm going to be around for Genghis to discuss options/decisions with me, so if you find yourself doing a lot more running in recent weeks at training and maybe even after matches if we don't start looking a bit fitter, you can call that the Bellamy Legacy...

And yes, on Thursday nights I will still be there, still shouting as much as normal and still moaning if people aren't putting the effort in or playing the simple balls, just now you can tell me to fuck off...

I thought it was out next Friday? Ive cancelled my order so I can afford Barcelona!

Shane has that woman confirmed a time for today,and what is her name?

Just a reminder gents that GTA San Andreas is out today! I'm literally vibrating in anticipation...

And Mr. Green, lets not forget that those 'part time window cleaners', as you called them, are the Double Winning Champions from the Best Footballing Country in Europe...

Luckily, I am trained to deal with a man who comes at me with a Banana, or attempts to attack me with a whole host of other fruits, for that matter.



Monty Python, 'And Now For Something Completely Different', 1971

Can everyone bring a banana tonight please?

Are you sure that wasn't saint and greevsie that said its a funny old game, game of two halfs, a goal at each end??

And...

'Feeling FruityFrom The Sun: 'A footballer has been sacked for allegedly sexually assaulting a youth team player. Oxford United’s Julian Alsop is said to have tried to shove a banana up his backside as a prank went too far.''

Dear God...

http://www.football365.com/news/story_130845.shtml

As Bob Marley once said (probably), Its a Funny Old Game...

I agree with most of those facts John as much as it twist my lower intestines, But one thing i can't get..........Arsenal can't beat a bunch of second rate window cleaners from Greece. Go figure?

Arsenal, Imperious in the League, best striker in the World, best Midfielder in the World, one of the best Centre backs in the World, unbeaten in 49 league games, 5 points clear at the top already, 11 points clear of United.... could be that Vieira is out, Pires is out, Henry is out, Edu is out, Gilberto is out...

United are crap at the moment.

It will be 1-1.

Oh, sorry about the mini league, buggered that up a bit. At least I'll be able to finish first, second, and third.

Good shout Smurfy - Browny whack em on a CD and I'll be able to post em up on here. Or post em up yourself. Bet you've got rid of em haven't you? Be good for you to see them so you can have some memory of the Friday night, yours must all have got trashed with all that alcohol in your bloodstream.

Brownie is ther any chance at all that we may get to see your photos from Blackpool soon?

So what do you think the score's gonna be on Sunday then? General bewilderment sweeping through the Utd squad, Fergie trying every possible squad combination to see if they can snap out of it (Ruud in goal on Sunday I heard) and Arsenal bound to pick up a crucial injury tonight against Panathanakosathanaikokaikos.

My early hunch of a 3-0 away win is being tempered by the fact that although it's Arsenal, it's also still Utd, who might be a bunch of mugs, but are nobody's fools, if you can see the difference.

But it's Rooney's 19th birthday, the ugly little sh*t and he likes the big games and he likes notching against Arsenal, so who can say?

I'm going to hold my prediction til just before kick off to see what mood everyone's in on the day.

Yes mate, I think they break it down as far as 3rd place at the end of it, im only 14 points off the top. You get a case of beer for different things each week as well, like highest scorer biggest jump in the league. So all going wel, got a damm good side.

Not gona be at training on Thursday I got training course in London.

Sunday we're at home (Northcroft) to AFC Cholsey in the Berks & Bucks Cup. I've been looking at their results and after a poor start to the season they've begun notching a few points up in recent weeks, so we can expect a tough test.

4pm at the Halfway then for the Man U v Arsenal match on Sky

Unlucky for me, that weekend in december is no good for me as i'm going to centre parcs, Hope you guys have a good time. Are we at home on sunday?

You effing idiot Sillsy have you seen the Shefford FC mini-league table on scorecast?

btw Browny r u seriously 5th in the Sun comp overall? Not bad going my friend - do you get anything at all for finishing high up or is it just winner takes all?

Count me in on the Christmas bash sounds like fun. Might not make the game the previous week, as I’ve got a Burghclere Christmas do on the Saturday night.

The result Sunday was a great result and showed Great bouncebackability, the team pulled together when they needed too.

Sure can mate nice one cheers.

Friday is not a problem mate can i let you know what time on thursday.

Cool - Smurf are you free on Friday at all to meet that bird at Northcroft? If you can, name a time between about 11.30am and 1.30pm and she'll be there to meet you, give you a key, show you how to use it, etc...

That sounds spot on mate as i already gave the 20th booked off anyway

Sunday 19th December for the Christmas do this season okay with everyone?

Hi Dan.

Crabbeman's right the league is totally wide open, early runners are Vodafone but they've played Blue Ball twice so that doesn't really count. We just have to concentrate on every single game from here on in - there's no Cold Ash, no TVS and no MDM from last season for us to go out maybe being afraid of (that said, we beat TVS without Smurf and drew with MDM last season) so it has the chance of being a very enjoyable season, promotion or not.

I see everyone's saying that Arsenal are going to sweep Man U aside on Sunday. That's what I thought until I realise everyone else was thinking the same. Should be a good game - did I read right that it's Rooney's birthday that day too?

From a Midfielders point of view..................I don't think the Tumble dryer passed enough for me, The cat looked in great form springing from save to save, And as the Iron curtain came down on precedings all that could be seen was the yellow skin of the crabbe and one almighty shadow from the genginator.

I dont where 7 i think my free kicks may need a bit of work but i wouldnt mind a go on rebecca loos!!! Great BOUNCEBACKABILTY yesterday boys it was a good team performance i didnt think anyone had a bad game. We responded really well to some very dodgey decisions [note henick changing room number 9!!!] most teams would not have been able to respond the way we did i really hope we can go on from here as it looks like the league is up for grabs

well done everyone

I only cast on the Sunday and Monday games,

Great result yesterday chaps, we showed some serious Bouncebackability. Which was good to see after going 2-0 down.

If anyone is interested and does the Sun Dream team im 5th out of the whole country and only 11 points of top spot. £300,000 thanks very much.

I only cast on the sunday and monday games i forgot to do, i remembered saturday afternoon about 1 and by then it was to late to cast.I will be back

Smurfy bombs out in scorecast dropping to 130-something whilst Bellers flies up to the 70's.

Did you not cast on all the games mate?

I tell you what lads, an own goal and the worst penalty decision I've ever seen would often be enough to see us drop to a 5 or 6 goal degeneration. From what I saw yesterday, people were finally back to producing what they could. Don't get me wrong, we still have some distance to go, as the football we played as a team was still not what it used to be, but individually we had players back to their former standards, and that was enough to sweep MDM aside.

Special mentions...

Genghis: What most impressed me yesterday was the way Genghis changed his game to cope with who he was up against - that's the mark of a good defender. Genghis got tight earlier on but found himself skinned a couple of times cos the guy had good early pace, so he tweaked his game and defended by standing a yard further off him, making the distance past him that little bit too far for the guy to make. Genghis couldn't then stop him passing the ball, but with everyone else doing their jobs he often found he had no one to pass to and the danger down our right hand side stopped. If I didn't think that was just Genghis being back to his own standards, I'd have voted for him in man of the match.

Crabbeman: Again I didn't vote for him in man of the match cos he's his own worst enemy and did what I've come to rely on from him. He was everywhere, screaming at and for everything, breaking everything up (in partnership with Sillsy) in the key area of the pitch where they were trying to play football and forcing the game out wide where Paul, Genghis, Beeny, Jamie and Browny soaked it up and pushed forward. To be fair to Crabbeman he's never given any less, just yesterday it seemed to click in and be more effective.

Paul: Have to take my hat off to him - I was doing better than I expected to do, but still needed to sit the odd move out to recover before joining in the next play. Paul seemed to grow as the game went on (partly from being able to foray forward cos of Genghis working well behind him) but as the game swung our way Paul was a key factor in making that swing count, joining every attack and finally notching one for himself and rarely, if ever, being caught out to leave Genghis exposed.

Lewis: One early shot way off target, then sparked into life again, setting me up with a peach of a ball, scoring a goal that crushed a whole team and then setting up Crabbeman and Dan for their goals. You can't ask for much more than that, other than that early shot. He's shit.

As a team, great character shown by everyone, some nice attacking football in the final third and some quality defending, glimpses of the iron curtain again in the second half when we never really looked in danger of conceding.

Bouncebackabilibblasiybblabty What a word, If you get a booking a pint for everyone I think would be in best of order !!

BOUNCEBACKABILITY TOMORROW BOYS AND MAYBE A BOOKING!!!

Fair point - FHM told us we had to pay, then suddenly there it was at no.6 - viral power you see, you can't fight popularity, you can only kill it with slurs about beastiality...

12/10/2004 - Shane - 'You have to pay to get onto the FHM thing - not as cool as it sounds eh? Same for the Lycos viral chart, it sucks the big one. It's not about the most popular stuff, it's about who's got the wonga.'

15/10/2004 - Butt Bongo Babes appears at number 6 on FHM Top 10 games...

True Beanie, I think the squad is about right at the moment, and if Dan is playing as a striker, we have cover in all positions.

Any news on Adam for Sunday?

Two sausage sarnies and a cup of tea later and I'm back!! Shane I think you misunderstood me the other day when i said is any of the saturday team where signing for us, I'm kinda against anyone else signing for us as our squad is pretty good and our bench is also better than most.

Is there a lunchtime Blogging break or something?!

Fair point John, I can't explain it, they said we had to pay, next thing we knew it was up there at number 6! Not complaining about it, bring it on.

And beeny I knew what you were getting at the other day, so I just wanted to explain to everyone that I'm also not interested in getting other players and explaining my reasons why. We don't need anyone else, we just need the players we have to play like they can play, say what they wanna say, do what they wanna do Adams Family. Do do do, click click...

A Career in Audio Imaging beckons, I think...

Im gonna be sitting here waiting all day for them arent I. Arent I?!?!

3,5,7,9 why are they never on time!! taadaa!! We hate dhl. we hate dhl. we hate dhl. we hate dhl. we hate dhl. we hate dhl. we are the dhl haters. Cool. I rock!!

Cheers Beanie, makes the wait better. Although I cant help feeling the chant somewhat tails off after the odd numbers...

Sorry john never had the unfortunate experince of use DHL (go faster lettering) but I will start a dhl hate club with ya. 2,4,6,8 who do we really hate "DHL" 3,5,7,9 da da doop da.

Sorry, DHL (go faster lettering)

Its gonna have to be a big tumble drier.

Anyone else hate DHL?

Crabbeman + innocent? Not a pair of words usually found in a sentence without "far from" as well.

Are there any tumble driers at Henwick? I think this is gonna take some organisation.

I'm sure I can arrange for Crabbeman to get booked, all I need to say is "Dave you're playing today" but as for the drier and tricking Smurf to get into it, that's gonna require a bit of thought.

Smurfy, how do you fancy lift to the Halfway after the match on Sunday? Trouble is, I've got something really secret in my car, so you'll need to wear a blindfold...

The only innocent party here is crabbman, oh and the tumble drier, it doesn't even know that smurfs gonna get in. (ouch)!

No, well, yes, but he has to get in not realising that its a tumble drier, then we have to accidentally turn it on, not realising its he is in there. Then Crabbeman has to get a booking.

So, to recap, on Sunday, Smurf's got to get in a tumble drier?

No No No More like this

I resent that comment Mr Bellemy. It would have been more like this...

'The Cats got in the Tumble Drier!

Quick, throw something at the On/Off button!

Oh no, the winds caught it and turned it up to a higher speed!

Ouch!

That a Booking Crabbeman.'


Or....

'Give the Cat to Lewis, he can give it to one of the midfield to look after. Oh no, he has kicked it really hard from miles out and sent it flying into the river, sorry, the tumble drier.'

Our midfield wouldn't have been anywhere near the incident.

"The cat's got in the tumble drier!"

"Eh? (wheeze)"

"OUCH!"

"That's a booking Crabbeman"

I must admitt I can quite see it from a midfielders point of view. Good point there mr.sills

Well, from a midfielders point of view,the tumble drier door was open, the person turned her back, the cat jumped in, she turned back round, shut the door and turned it on...

www.bongobabes.co.uk

I'll say no more.

Go to this link and select downloads then videos there are some cool stunts crashes and also a matrix cow. yes well for added fun look out for the human kite at the isle of man tt. www.superbike.co.uk

How the fuck do you accidentally put your cat in a tumble drier? Mind you, if the cat was gay, maybe it was for the best. My nan says they should all be put on a boat and sank, you know.

I affixed my cat with a "Do not tumble dry" label to stop silly accidents like that happening, I've also managed to avoid washing it at above 40 degrees, and have never ironed the fucker either. A stitch in time, that's my motto.

9.45am Henwick this Sunday, for those of you who still owe, scroll down to find out how much and bring dosh on Sunday, I am skint as fuck and this game puts me another £60 down...

I didn't know you refer to yourself as the cat smurf, Hmmm, you have nine lives you can spring and sit on top of fences and wind up old dogs, ok so far, you show your arse to the whole world and sometimes you eat your own sick. And after your done licking your own balls you want to lick your owners face. sounds like the life to me!!

Obviously, thats meant to say 'put their Cat in a tumble drier'. They didnt sit in a tumble drier, shouting 'The Cats Gay, The Cats Gay!!'. That would be silly.

Dont worry Smurfy, I was being sarcastic, as the Goalie position is our strongest area on the pitch! I would never want to replace the Cat.

However, someone at work did accidentally out their cat in their tumble drier last week. The Cat's Dead.

The Shefford FC mini league is now up on Scorecast... www.scorecast.co.uk

I did think that was a particularly brave move mentioning that position Mr Sills, but there you go.

Owen scored a header last night then, tried his best to hit it straight at the keeper but missed and it skimmed off his hip and into the net anyway. How he went from injured fifth choice Madrid striker to England captain I have no idea. I turned the Wales match on at 1-1 and figured that'd be a good score for us and then all of a sudden they were 3-1 down. Poland looked good coming forward but suspect under attack so it should be a good game when we play them next.

Almost 250,000 people have been sent that butt bongo babes game now. Just thought I'd let you know.

Oi Sillsy what you on about are you trying to get The Cat replaced

Current league form for AFC Cholsey can be viewed here - http://www.intheteam.com/home/home.asp?ClubId=5668

They're in the same league as Mortimer West End who we've had a couple of close games against in recent years in the B&B Cup, games we probably should have won but we lost (though one was with me in goal and we were 2-0 up and lost 4-2).

Currently AFC Cholsey are 3rd from bottom, having won 1, drawn 1 and lost 4. By all accounts that puts us as favourites, but we will need to deliver.

I don't really think we need any more players and won't be looking for any - but with all the players we have signed on, currently only 15 are available for action - so I wouldn't worry about the size of the squad too much. The thing to worry about is the quality of squad we now have available and the level of performance we're putting in, the two don't really match up at the moment so we need to turn that around rather than getting other players in.

This Sunday we've got MDM at home but we're playing at Henwick cos the fair's down at Northcroft and are leaving Sunday morning so that road will be virtually impassable.

Next round of the B&B Cup we have AFC Cholsey at home - just checking them out now...

Fair enough, he can bring a goal keeper along then. Or a right back ;-)

I'll be at training tonight, but I might be shit (insert 'no change there' joke here) as I wont have eaten since, well, now.

Not that any of you really care.

Oh John now thats not very nice is it, I quite like my place in the team!

Dont think we need anymore players James, especially not midfielders or defenders! Lewis is welcome to bring along as many strikers as he wants, though...

We all know how to talk a good game and on a thursday we can all pass and move, so why not on a sunday? We need to put in to matches what we put in practice. Shane is there gonna be any more of the saturday team that dave and dan play for signing for us?

Them again?! Shocking stuff, its just like as playing Cold Ash last year. They were wankers as well.

You're on Mr Smurf - especially with me being top 10 in the overall rankings I think my prowess will show through. I had a disatrous week with the international rankings, so it's about time my football genius showed through again. And I believe you about the signing on fee, I don't need witnesses - especially not Genghis!

Has everybody played Butt Bongo Babes yet? Just to give you an example of it's prowess, it was re-set live at around 3pm yesterday and by 9am this morning had been seen by over 30,000 people. It's appeared on viral sites such as www.joker-inc.com and been the subject of arguments on internet forums where geeks go to be heard.

New fixture list came through yesterday, we have MDM on Sunday and then potentially a match off and then guess who (again) the following week? That means Beenie misses another Trav Friend match cos he's banned...

Gentlemen, I have chanced upon a revelation. I have realised that I havent had my hair cut since pre-season, and things havent gone to well for us so far. So I therefore think it may be down to my Hair that we arent playing well. Therefore, I shall have it cut on Friday, and we can start winning and playing like the team we are again on Sunday.

Job Done.

Shane,have a look at that scorecast.co.uk look at positions 103 and 119 do you want a fiver bet, highest finisher of the month?

See Beenie if you wasn't a minger and joined our shower gang you might be in with a chance

Oh Sorry Smurf I always thought there was a little spark between us never mind my dreams are shattered (sniff)

Mr Bellamy, Ghengis will confirm my story concerning my signing on fee i paid £15 when we played Partick in the friendly at Stockcross.

Beenie what ever gave you the impression that you would be in with a chance with me anyway?

Also Mr. Sills sorry to Burst your bubble but you have always been a banker, ( pull the corners of your mouth apart to get desired affect) thank you!

Brownie I'm not wasting any more of BT's good money to tell you to F**K O** and stop sending me emails about prick losers who have a genetic science in proccesing and a square head module for being a stroker. Now hopefully that will stop you sending me them dam emails, also I'm not gay and I'm not interested in middle age men Brownie, (sorry smurf this means i don't fancie you). Get the message brownie or I'm sending the heavies to your office!!!!!

Are you serious about the FHM thing? Thats sh*t! It has been gtting steadily worse recently though, the games they give links to do seem to be more from proper games sites and less from one off things which are better. Oh well, my career in advertising was short lived. Back to Banking...

You have to pay to get onto the FHM thing - not as cool as it sounds eh? Same for the Lycos viral chart, it sucks the big one. It's not about the most popular stuff, it's about who's got the wonga.

Browny that's you owe me, but I'm still taking it off what I owe you, so when that figure hit's £40 then we're square.

Smurfy I haven't got you down as paying your signing on fee, but if you say you have then cool it's down to a tenner then.

Shane did you take out my signing on fee from my total?As i paid that

Dissapointed about Sunday, but as Im sure we all know that we can we bouce back, I think we have seen that its going to be a very close seanson this time around. Lets just all go out and show what we can do on Sunday against MDM.

Shane is that what you owe me or I owe you?

Like the game Shane. I mean, its not helping with my Revision at all, but still a good game.

Just a thought, and Im sure somehting you advertising bods already know about but every Friday FHM send out a 'Friday email' to about 250000 people, with new internet games and links on, and the best games get into their top 100 which stays on their web site. All it takes is for someone to email them about the link, and if they like it it will be on their email and reaching a hell of a lot of people each week. It seems like the sort of game they would like - women, slapping, and naked women. What do you reckon? I dont mind sending an email if you dont want to (im assuming if you email them, it will have your work address on and they will see it as you just trying to get free advertising).
