So I am now issuing a "come get me" plea to any Premiership teams out there. My wage demands are pretty low, I mean I was paying £15 a month plus a £50 signing on fee at my last club so I'd be willing to go as low as say £20 a week. I know! I know! How can anybody command such a wage just for kicking a ball? I'm afraid that's the nature of the beast that we football fans have created. Can I also point out to any potential Premier League suitors out there that I am not a troublemaker, honest! I'm not gonna do a Pierre van Hoijdonk and go on strike and I'm no Jermaine Pennant. All that I ask is that I'm only required to play/train during the football season and pre-season and that in training drills don't consist of blasting the ball at the goal from 5-10 yards out under no pressure with me being expected to save everything (seems to be a training drill not picked up by any professional teams for some reason??).
In all seriousness, I wish my former team the best of luck, they're a great bunch of guys and I reckon they'll be more that capable of holding their own in the 3rd division. I poke fun purely because that's what I do!
In other news, the Olympic football tournament is drawing to a close. I'm watching the Brazil v South Korea semi-final as we speak, Brazil are 1-0 up and there was a finger point to the sky celebration when they scored so I'm happy. GB are out! I missed the whole of the actual game but managed to see the penalty shootout. I'm starting to actually believe my flatmate's theory that left footers are less likely to score in a shootout. He correctly predicted Sturridge's miss on Saturday and Cole's in England's European World Cup (yep I'm still saying it) defeat to Italy. So is there something in his theory? Julian Dicks would probably disagree. Mexico are into the final, I bet on them to win the whole thing about 3 or 4 months ago, maybe one of my predictions (although it was off the back of a tip) will finally come true.
The final thing I want to say is, to all you smartphone users who are football fans you need to download New Star Soccer! This game is currently dominating my life (well my commuting life), I can't stop playing it. I have nothing funny to say about it other than, my girlfriend is definitely going to get sick of me playing it sometime soon. Oh and check out some of my favourite New Star Soccer headlines, my character is quite the headline maker. Here are some of the best ones I've had or seen on Twitter...
I'm off to send my CV to West Ham...
