Howdy ho fellow Tossers and welcome to the second instalment of Grazing with the Goat, straight from the Maxim offices in London. Clearly I'm not very busy.
Before I get onto Tos-related stuff, I thought I'd give my opinions on some of the big stories in football at the moment.......
Firstly, Rooney's injury and the new England manager. As far as Roonaldo goes, it's obviously a bit of a nightmare that he's been struck by the metatarsal curse as he's one of the best players in the world and could have been our key to World Cup glory. Having said that, we've still got the best squad we've had in years and I agree with Ferguson when he says its time for players like Cole, Gerrard and Lampard to step up. The one thing that does worry me is the obvious lack of firepower. Whether you like Crouch or not, he's not in the same league as Rooney or Owen. As for Defoe, I've never liked the miserable cunt and I don't think his performances this season warrant a place in the squad ahead of somebody like Darren Bent, who I feel could do well for us given the chance.
Onto the England manager's job and what the hell is the FA doing appointing Steve McClaren? I've never given a toss about the whole �next manager must be English� bullshit but if you're going to go down that route, at
least appoint somebody the fans want, like Allardyce. I can't see the point of replacing Eriksson with somebody who has supposedly been learning from him for the past however-many years. When McClaren gets the boot after a few matches, we'll have to go through this shit all over again.
Anyway, onto Tos matters. The last few games have been enjoyable ones to play in and Box Sr admitted last week this was down to improved team spirit and less arguing on the pitch. Hopefully this will continue and we can try to finish higher in the table this season than we did in the disappointing winter campaign. You may have also heard Seven Lions (aka Tos Reserves) won some trophies for coming third in the Tuesday league. Despite this being a slightly inferior league, we do have to put up with Chemo being shit and Murphy's occasional
club-footed clearances, so it's actually a brilliant result for us. We haven't really taken it all that seriously either, which just goes to show what can be achieved when you play for fun.
Random Thoughts/Messages
- For those who hadn't heard, I had my picture taken with former Spurs boss Gerry Francis before WWE Raw was taped at Wembley Arena recently. I'll send the picture over when I get it off my mate. Gerry looked very excited to get a hug from Goldust.
- I'm going to be in Maxim nect month, featured getting off with a sexy-yet-slightly-old PR girl. Those who want to do the same should e-mail [email protected] when they see what it's all about.
- Had John played last week, I'm guessing it would have been the first time three different families had played in the same game. The Boxes, Knights and Sandses would all have been represented.
- Me and George saw Miss Ferguson of shit history-teaching fame at Chatham Railway Station last week. She was looking rough yet pleased to get away from George when he came onto her. This was just after he'd announced to the whole platform he was late to get the train because he'd been �up shagging all night�.
- Newsagents in London are a lot smaller than they are in Medway.
- Back to George, his former fuck buddy Quasi-Emma-Modo (Pump: is this Akwasi Fobe Edusei's new name?) complained to me up Blues how he invited her round his house, came in her mouth and then left her to go clubbing with Turner. You bastard Weekes.
- Good luck for the game lads. I'll be at a Maxim poker night so can't come. I would rather play actually but should really make an effort with these guys.
Until next time, the Nature Goat says: �Baaaawooooo!�
