Seeing as Chelsea are now banned from signing any players until 2052, does that mean Bath City have more chance of getting the world’s best player, Lionel Messi, than the Blues?
Also, in anticipation of the newest release of the best football video game series ever, I was looking for some Fifa 10 wallpaper for my work PC. Not wanting to use the standard design, with Fat Frank and Wayne Rooney’s ever receding hairline, I carried out a Google image search for alternatives. I was amazed to find this Bath City cover. Somehow, I don’t think its official.
Today was the final day of the football transfer window, where clubs from all over England and Europe, must buy and sell any players they wish to transfer before the 5pm deadline, or be forced to ‘make do’ with what they have until January.
As is tradition, the BBC ran a ticker all day and encouraged people to text or e-mail in their transfer stories and gossip. Along with a work colleague, I tried to think of strange but believable rumours to send the Beeb, in the hope the gullible webmaster would post them on the site and cause an internet storm amongst football fans.
Alas, our rumours didn’t make it. Maybe they were too unbelievable (or just boring)
Rumour #1
Nick Barmby to make a surprise move from Hull to former club Middlesbrough
Somewhat believable, but despite being in the top two tiers of English football, nobody gives a shit about Hull and Middlesbrough apart from people from Hull and Middlesbrough.
Rumour #2
Ronaldo to join Sven at Notts County
Not the one who went for an obscene amount of money to Real Madrid. The old, fat Brazilian. Sven is in the process of recruiting elderly footballers with the promise of money and tickets to his private brothel (allegedly), so Ronaldo seemed the perfect candidate. The pies up there are supposed to be good too.
Rumour #3
Emmanuel Eboué to Larkhall Athletic
That’s just silly, I know. He wouldn’t get into the team.
One rumour I am glad didn’t come true, was the transfer of Jermaine Beckford from Leeds United. Superman may a fictional comic book hero, but Becks is ‘superman’ to Leeds. The fact he is staying up t’north has more or less awarded The Whites the League One title.
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
