Best in the world?

Let’s face facts people. Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is a talent, although I find it easiest to describe him as the “marmite on toast” of football as you’ll either love him or you’ll hate him.

Hume deserves better protection

Your Honour, it was always pretty soul destroying to see your team take a heavy loss and having to head in to school the following Monday to face the taunts of your peers. When it was England going out of a major tournament, however, the collective sense of loss was evident the moment you crossed the threshold into your first classroom.

Think football, not financial

Think football, not financial

Recently, I left my job and with it the long, 40-mile each-way journey that went with it. The preserve paradox of signing on in the current financial climate is that I’m actually better off now there’s no more need for the constant daily refilling of my car. It’s quite nice to keep it to myself, but staying at home for a while was a shelter from the obscene panic now gripping everyone from merchant bankers to minimum wage staff across the land. Meanwhile, we just sit back and watch Manchester City lining up their next bid for a world class footballer that may seem audacious to them, but ludicrous and a waste of time to the rest of us.

Are they Footballers or stars?

I remember growing up as a little boy playing football, it’s always what I wanted to do, and it’s what I always wanted to be. This was just because I loved playing the game so much.

I’m sure so many of you out there wanted to do the same, and where did we end up? In regular jobs. Mainly because we didn’t make the grade, but hey, who care’s we enjoyed it, and we still enjoy it. Whether it’s watching, playing or even just talking about it. Football was, and in most cases is still, a huge part of our lives.

Tevez can’t Make a tackle and Ronaldo can’t take a tackle

There I was, sat on the couch mulling over the Chelsea/Newcastle game and thinking what to write about this week when Aston Villa v Manchester United came on the box and my prayers were answered.

Gallas is an undercover spy?

Proof is in the cookie

Picture this boring scenario: I’ve cooked up a basket of homemade cookies—very tasty homemade cookies, in fact—after spending years honing the recipe, tweaking and adjusting and swapping the ingredients, and now somebody’s interested in purchasing one of them. Only ONE of them, but there are already some people interested in my other cookies so it’s OK. This man asks how much for Cookie Cole, and I tell him fifty pence. The man says to me, “I’ll give you twenty-five pence plus a half-eaten apple pie.” Now this offends me. I’ve spent years making sure this cookie is worthy of a place on the England table of biscuits and snacks, and this man offers me a half-eaten apple pie?
