Word of advice to anyone considering taking up cricket, wear a helmet. Took the ball in the head at 70mph today. Yes, it still hurt like hell, but it’d probably have killed me if I didn’t have it on. 

I guess when you look at it like that, it was worth sweating my arse off in it.

When you’re the only person on my timeline for the day, it means you post far too much.

Its really awkward when you continue to talk crap about things people clearly don’t give a fuck about.

Stressed beyond belief right now :@

No football tonight, no football tomorrow, and no football next Monday. It can only mean one thing, more time for fitness, running and general marathon training. Going to be a cardio-vascular tank come two weeks Monday! Just letting dinner digest, then I’m off for a brisk 5 miles run.

I best get in to this marathon or I might cry with the effort I’m putting into training.

hate hate hate having no money.

Oh well though, would rather be poor and have a job than sponge of my parents. People that get everything they want bought for them, despite having no job really anger me. Aged 17/18 you should be doing something to fund yourself.

thats called cheating
Nah mate, its gamesmanship. Win at all costs.

Ahahahaha I am the biggest wind up merchant ever to grace a football pitch. Tonight was a prime example. 2-0 up, they pull one back to 2-1 with 5 minutes to go. Cue Dean to go into time wasting mode. They get the ball out of the back of net and try to put it in the centre circle to hurry us up. So I say “Here ya, give us the ball here”, he throws it to me, I leave it and let it run past me to waste 20 seconds. I’ve plodded over to get the ball, got the ball just as the bloke has come charging over to hurry me up. Picked it up and he’s bumped into me. Cue Dean to go down like i’d been shot. I’ve lept into the air spectacularly (whilst still tightly clutching the ball) and fell to the floor with a thud from the lightest touch in the world. 

Down to the last 2 minutes. I get the ball and carry it to the corner and hold it there. Every time the defender has touched me, fall over spectacularly, free kick. Get up and do it again. Rinse and repeat. Worked like a charm and saw out the two minutes superbly. 

Regardless, another win for the mighty Ajax Tree’s Down against a team that had been undefeated all season. We will win the league next year given an equal start at it. Guaranteed.

Right sock, left sock, right shin pad, left shin pad, right sock, left sock, right boot on, left boot on, right boot single knot, left boot single knot, right boot double knot, left boot double knot.

I’m not superstitious when it comes to dressing for football. Honest. I just don’t want to alter my pattern that evidently works ahaa

Please please please let it stay like this for tonight. After the absolute soaking I took last week, I think I deserve to play in the sunshine. And its sooooo much easier when its dry. The ball doesn’t slide over the plastic grass at three times the speed of light, I can stop and turn faster, and best of all, I don’t have to sit soaked to the bone in a car on the way home.

In other football related news, since investing in my beautiful boots, 7 goals in 5 games :P prolific goal to game ratio.

ahahahaha this bit absolutely kills me. From about 20 seconds in “DOWN BESSIE!”

Not the minstrels again :P “Because, did you know..” Dean says in a giggly, much higher pitched than normal, and slightly drunken sounding voice “Minstrels are the worst because to make them brown they have aaaaallllll the colours in.. teehee.”
shhhhhhhh;)

Going for a cheeky 3 mile run. I best get a place for the Marathon purely due to the effort and commitment i’m exhibiting to the training *finishes 2nd Minstrels bag of the weekend*
