Cool, I just checked my Rosicky video that I made on youtube and it has 4 honours, one of them as #37 most highly rated Sports video today. So I thought I would post it here in case any of you wanted to see it:

Clive?!

Yeah, I don't know why, but I like it.:)

[red & wite army]

Here it is...my few seconds of fame! Five years back I was in a grocery store at the till and was asked if i wanted a chance to be on tv. I said yes and they filmed me eating a mango...even though I hated them. Last year a mate of mine calls me up and says that he just saw me on tv! Turns out they put the advert up a few years later, on national tv, on many channels and very popular timeslots aswell!!! By the end of it I was like "Oh whatever, there is me on tv again..." :p

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Well back when I was about 9 I appeared in an advert for Kick-A-Flick, a toy that helped you improve your volley skills. it was similar to a see-saw - you put the ball on the end, stamp on the other end so the ball goes straight in the air then volley it! It was also good for things like tennis and so on.

[Case]

Where to start, I leave the thread for a day or 2 and I got loads to pick up on!
Sanchy, Santiago is the dopest name, my Sunday team has an argentinian import of that name, I love how the word is used in everything in Spanish yet no-one knows what it means! Also like a true south american (this’ll sound waaaaay non-pc, but if u get me u’ll understand) is brilliant on the ball but cannot take throw-ins!
Footballers can’t fight, especially when you’re a 2nd rate Brasilian striker cursed by the nickname “the fabulous one”! Head down, swing windmills, priceless.
As for 15 minutes, at 6th form college my Volleyball skills were filmed and used nonsensically as a backdrop for some political programme on BBC2, the piece ends on a great moment as I showed my “patent hustle” chasing a lost cause, diving head first for a ball out of bounds failing to keep it in, sliding into the wall with my shorts riding up to reveal underkeks! It’s one of them moments that a select group of my older mates have on video and gets brought out every house party or so….

R&W LOOOOOOOVES Mango! Thats a Keenan & Kel Orange soda moment right there!

As for Lee Trundle, well u guys have missed a lot. This extract is from Casepedia.org:

A little known fact about Lee Trundle is he came over to this plane from an alternate dimension, a parallel reality where he lost his left leg in a tragic motorboat accident. As it happened, in this timeline Rivaldo died that time he was taking a corner at the WC and went down like he’d been shot when the ball was kicked at him, and surgeons were able to graft Rivaldo’s foot to Trundle’s body. Lee went on to represent England as they won 4 consecutive internationl tourneys before slipping through a rift in dimensions. Gravity in this realm differs and as such Trundle’s frame has been squashed to the “thicker” physique u saw on youtube. As such he’s unable to play for a topside as his running is also slowed under the stronger gravitational pull. Consequently Trundle is forced to settle for being the greatest player ever in Wales. He does have a love for Everton, and on a trial there he ate Wayne Rooney’s younger brother who was a YTS player for The Toffees.
At the peak of his powers, Trundle invented “showboat” and sold it to SoccerAM for a mixed kebab plus the first 7 digits of Helen Chamberlain’s mobile telephone number. This was back in 2003, when he had aspirations of continuing his international career in this realm. He also frequently stated that he didn’t need to be fit playing in the league he was in, and he’d only get fit if and when a premiership club signed him. He went on to start the Welsh civil was when him and that Spanish guy off of Revista De La Liga pissed off a bunch of Cardiff supporters after winning a tin-pot trophy nobody really cared about.
Lee Trundle is a fully trained ninja and could single handedly bring world peace, end hunger and famine and aline the solar system, however chooses not to, instead focuses his efforts on cracking the code of the rest of Hels Bells’s phone number.

Longstory short (and minus my bored BS), is Trundle is superb on the ball and was definetely worth a punt for a prem team a few years back, especially a struggling side needing a striker to hold the ball up when the play 1 up top away from home. The preference then came for quick strikers with less talent (AJ, DBent etc) who could turn a defence and hopefully get fouled en route to losing posession, and Trundle was overlooked. Big fish in a small pond but u gotta admire he's dedication to pleasing the crowd above his own career, even if it is just a self-serving ego-protective mechanism to distract from his greatest fear, that he's not good enough to do it in the majors.

i was just on youtube watching the highbury farewell and henry kissing the grounds. i think it's a shame that the place will never see another game. there is something about old stadiums that mean a lot to me. im a diehard Boston Red Sox fan and when they were having talks about tearing down fenway park in the late 90s i cried at the news. (thank god they didn't tear it down.) it's a part of the game that a new stadium can't deliver. sitting in the 95 year old stands that have seen the likes of babe ruth, teddy williams, the yaz, and "the idiots" is something that is magical. emirates (or should i say ashburton grove) will never see the tradition of being in the same stands that saw bergkamp, adams, and armstrong battle on the pitch. henry, fabregas can start the new tradition but i don't see emirates lasting more than 20 years. it really upsets me that i never made it to london to see a game there but such is life. kinda depressing though.

i think there is a video of trundle floating around on youtube where opposing fans are heckeling him when he is warming up, so he gets a ball does a few tricks and they all start applauding, filmed on a mobile i think

[appleCORR7]

I found it :

Nice little trick although not too hard! He likes that trick he does it alot.

Im meant to be doing a powerpoint presentation on diabetes but im bored!

[thebigman]

lol get your priorities right! im sure the diabetes suffers will be far more interested in lee trundle youtube highlights than new ways to take insulin

[thebigman]

Its probably because he knew he wouldnt be able to get away with his little spins and flicks in the big boys league.

He's a does some nice stuff but its when he is in a lot of space and i think he knows he wouldnt get that in the Premiership.

appleCORR

u kidding? theres probably more space in the prem without some talentless dik trying to kick u every 2 seconds unless u paly bolton

[Skizz]

There is no space in the Premiership. There are only two people who get away with the tricks and that's Ronaldo and Henry. Nobody else has quick enough feet. Unless your trying to put Lee Trundle in their class, of course...

My new cousin was born 2 days ago and we were talking about different names that we'd call our own children.
I said that for a girl I like the name Summer and for a boy I like the name Santiago. Meanwhile my sister was liking Francesco and Paolo for boys' names.

What names do you guys like or names that come in to your head?


this is extremely ironic to my life at the moment. I really hope I dont have to start picking out names soon.

my life sucks.

[appleCORR7]

Ohh ohhhh ..... was someone not sensible?!!

Well just as long as you don't call it Clive it will be all good!

[vanity_soccer13]

I was "sensible." haha

scariest experience of my life, but all is well. I was freaking out for a little bit there. now all I can hear is Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" playing in my head.

[thebigman]

[Devil500]

Ouch, Apple. Nah don't really care, I've got plenty of other guys names that are better, I just felt like I had to come up with something akin to R&W's 'Santiago'.

[red & wite army]

Met my new little cousin for the first time today...he's a bit boring and quiet but I guess I can forgive him considering he's only 5 days old.:D

Just BTW, Santiago trantlates to 'St James'. Therefore Tiago means James! So Tiango Motta at Barca is actually James Motta:p

Did u run down the middle of the street, into traffic with no shirt on screaming "IT WAS BLUE, IT WAS BLUE!!!!!"

EDIT for the record, im not sure if it's pink or blue that is feared most on home preg tests, must've grown up in cotton wool!

[red & wite army]

I would have if I found myself in his situation!
