Week 7
Boooo - a blog for a 4-a-side game? Really? Must be done I guess and while it is fresh in the head let me right about it. Have I said already that it was 4-a-side? That means only one thing, the game will not be taken seriously. Some will try, some won't, but overall the mood of the game is that this is a fun kick-around.
Teams:
A: Amier, Atul, Paul & Shayan vs
B: Chris, H, Monzie & Sherwin
I believe Team A won, although I am starting question Big Paul's counting as for 5 minutes the scores remained 13-9, not in our game will the scores remain the same for so long. Anyway, Team A won, although at times only 2 in that team played as a homo-sexual affair errupted on the pitch. Shayan & Amier, Amier & Shayan together forver is how it should read. Passes back and forth to each other in search of a goal, disregarding their teammates and opponents. Atul let jealousy get the better of him and decided to hurl abuse at his supposed teammates. Fair play on him I say. What sort of childs play is this to ruin an already rubbish game??? As Abe Simpson would say "FOR SHAME" (picture it, it's funny).
Monzie was on a mission this week to score as many goals as he could and this open game gave him license to put fear into the oppostion with stepovers and skill. Not many worked but boy did it look funny and boy can he run & run. Credit to him though, he did score more than one goal in the game as well as provide many assists. A favourite of mine was to assist off the wall even though he (didn't) mean it. What I cannot fail to mention about Monzie was his Salmon Leap. Shayan flicked the ball over his head and what followed was a leap that only Grizzly Bears are used to seeing. Legs flapping, back bending...it was a thing of beauty.
Anyway, so not much else to really mention. 4-a-side doesn't deserve a player by player mention. However some players are included in the Highlights reel:
Highlights -
- Monzie fouling Shayan which resulted in a big thud
- Monzie fouling Shayan again to send Shayan sprawling on the floor
- Amier vs Chris and Chris skipping past Amier on every occasion
- Amier playing old school English footy and hoofing the ball upfield to no one
- Sherwin scoring 3 own goals. I still got it
- Atul taking his love for Chris too far and copying him in the handball and diving department
- Atul and Monzie showing their love by chasing each other so they could kiss (they will claim it was to win the ball)
Let's hope next week we have a full compliment, otherwise I will need to blog about something else.
YEAH BOYCE/ DELPH!!!

Week 6
Ok, so this is slightly late again but only by 3 days this time. Straight into it...
Team 1 - Atul, Monzie, Paul, Shayan & Wel
Team 2 - Amier, Chris, H, Shaq & Sherwin
Well, Mr Wel was back this week and it was noted prior to kick off that he hasn't won a game in a while. Strange given that he is the BEES-KNEES. Was he aware of this fact or does it even bother him? Probably not. Were fortunes about to be reversed for the little Moroccan or is he doomed for constant failure...
I'm sure the suspense is killing you. Team Wel won, a triumphant return for the hairless wonder, scoring with his left foot and right foot. Twisting people up, twisting himself up and just running around everywhere.
Shaq (nephew mark 2 - although not sure if he actually nephew or how Monzie knows him) had another good game and with Amier scored the bulk of their teams goals.
The scoreline reflected a close game - 16-14, however Team 1 always had it in the bag really. Atuls last minute tackles, Pauls bundling and Shayans hairy bum all put team 2 to the sword. Excuses at the ready for my team, Chris is pregnant, H's knees were shot and i was running on empty on the account of throwing up and shitting all day. Note to all - it is hard running around when you have nothing in your system. Always good to have excuses lined up. HA
Player watch:
Amier - found his shooting boots again. Turning every player and finding the back of the net. I'm sure he scored more than half the goals for his team
Atul - this guy is on a hot scoring streak. Left me for dead in goal on a couple of occasion with that sweet right foot of his
Chris - Daddy cool did his usual runs and occasionally came up with the nifty trick
H - The big man was broken this week. His knees gave up on him and so constantly switiching in and out of goal
Monzie - started the game off scoring and then back to his usual - not scoring.
Paul - have realised that he is turning into a right winger now - always popping up threatening to score
Shaq - Another good week yet as mentioned the rest of his team let him down. He too is a right winger - didn't see him much anywhere else
Shayan - Oh brother, well done i think. Good passing and according to Amier, you did a salmon jump. Well done
Sherwin - Not a week to remember, think i scored one goal. Otherwise had no energy to do much aside from stand in goal
Wel - what a guy. Back with a bang this week. Good skills, some soft goals but they all count.
So a bit more detail this week. I'm out. YEAH BOYCE (JOYCE, DELPH!!!)

Week 5
Ok, so i have been very sloppy here. This week 5 review was due last week. Do I blame my busy lifestyle or just admit that I have been lazy...hmmm.
Anyway, back to what counts. The footy and who did what and who won what. My memory be a bit hazy but i can remember the teams and they were:
- Atul, Shayan, Matt, Paul & Amier vs
- Monir, Shaq (nephew mark 2), Chris, H & Sherwin
I refer to Shaq as 'nephew mark 2' as he left his mark on the game as only nephew does. The game went back and forth however team 'nephew mark 2' won as the newbie showed his prowess all over the pitch. Lucky for me I was on his team and would say we ended as comfortable winners in the end.
Memorable moment that i can remember is newphew mark 2's volley. Week 4 saw Matt smash one in and this week it was Shaq. As i re-read this post i notice that it simply is me getting on me knees for Shaq. Dam homie, not a good look.
I do think i remember the ball smacking Monzie in the head which was a laugh, other than that i draw a blank. Oh wait, i do remember Chris falling over twice during the game. One was absolutely hilarious as he fell over all on his own on his way to goal. The second occasion was last minute of the game and counts as more of a dive. Tom Daley would have been proud. Will try and be more detailed for Week 6

Week 4
Well, another debrief of the weekly Monday night action...And none off the ten brave warriors were ready for what was in store.
Starting with the teams:
Atman, Matt, Monz, Nephew, Amiel
Vs.
Shane-boy, Welly, Christopher, H, Scruffy.
We have to get the final score out of the way early on. Team Nephew won 27-24. It should be noted at this point that we were not playing rugby. No, this was a football match with more than fifty goals scored. Having played for an unusually long 1hr40mins, one might expect the goal tally to be high. But 51 goals is unheard of.
Team performances:
Team Nephew raced into an early lead, the difference approximately 5 goals or so. The goals scored were well worked, some of which left Team Welly looking at each other with a "what just happened?" look on their faces. Atman, Monz and Matt played well defensively and scored a number of goals each. Well, Atman and Matt did, Monz scored one. One out of fifty-one. Dead-weight. Amiel showcased his usual neat finishing, as did Nephew with his trademark left-foot-fizzer into the bottom corner.
Team Welly showed great resolve in their comeback. With Team Nephew taking their collective foot of the pedal, Welly and his soldiers seized the opportunity to turn the screw, and with roughly an hour played, the scores were level once more. Scored some good goals, and some cheap ones too due to sloppy defending from their opponents, but they all count. The team worked well together with Welly, Scruff-dog, Shane-boy and H spreading the ball from defense to the lone assassin, Christopher.
Individual performances:
Atman - On fire in the first 20mins. Made valuable contributions thereafter, but also silly errors. Scored 3 within 5mins, like the great Robbie Fowler, whose nickname is God. Therefore Atman is God.
Matt - Doesn't even need to run, lets the ball do the work. Scored the best goal of the game, Buddy 'olly, top corner, keeper had zero chance.
Monz - Started well in defense, clearly tired in the latter stage of the game due to shit cardio and general laziness. Moaned at his defence, a sign that he was playing to win for once.
Nephew - Fast, skillful, scores goals and saves a fair few too.
Amiel - Usual crisp finishing, showed good level of hustle. Got stuck in like a bloody lad.
Shane-boy - Still can't finish his dinner. Made some incredible tackles when opponents had a clear run at goal.
Welly - Little dynamo of a man. Shot just as well with left foot as right. However sometimes those shots do go into orbit.
Christopher - Running just isn't part of some peoples' game. However his usual goal from the halfway line proved that he is, quite literally, the Daddy.
H - Much better. Worked hard all game long, and showed the strength of an ox. Hardly surprising as his older brother is an actual ox.
Scruffy - Not his best game, the Patrick Berger bullets were mis-firing. Couldn't open his own car after the game. Probably dehydrated or going mental. I digress. Decent game.
All in all, best game we've played for a long time, and a real cardio-builder.
There will be 10 lads walking around London tomorrow with bruised ankles, pulled hamstrings, tight calves and aching backs...but to have experienced this ridiculous match, it's well worth it.
Until next week, Ghost Writer out.

Week 3
Ok, regular writer back again and I was back playing again due to a week off for a b-day dinner.
Before I even get into the teams and who played what, note this, it was only 4-a-side. Two people had to call in sick - name and shame for Chris Jacob and Matt.
4-a-side means one thing, no one takes it seriously. We had a laugh and there were memorable moments, however this was one week that as a whole we will be quick to forget.
So teams:
- Sherwin, Wel, Atul & Dips
- Shayan, Amier, Monir and Chris (H)
It was a mess of the game with everyone having a laugh. Albeit that Atul took it very seriously and I kept on giving the ball away. Personal highlight, scoring 2 headers. Funny moments of the game were Wel lifting the ball over Monirs head to which Monir jumped like a Salmon to reach but failed and Amier trying to set himself up for a header and missing an open goal.
Boy was it cold this week and the gloves were worn but no snood.
Atul - stop sliding!
Hopefully next week we will have a full compliment and play a proper game.

Week 2
FROM OUR GHOST WRITER
A short football review this week, owing to the fact that I only have 10 mins left on my lunch break.
We’ll start with the teams:
Welly, H, Monz, Matt, Christopher
Vs.
Atman, Shane-boy, Dips, Nephew, Amiel
Within 10mins, Team-Nephew were 3-0 up. However, as is always the case with 5-a-side football, a 3-goal cushion can be eradicated within minutes. Which it was. The middle 20mins of the game saw Team-Nephew open up an 8 goal lead. It is worth mentioning, seeing as he rarely does, that big Atman scored 6.
The final third of the match was a cagey affair with Team-Welly making an unlikely comeback a distinct possibility. Alas, Welly was unable to captain his men to victory, Nephew instead enjoying leading his team to a 3-goal win. It should be noted at this point that the team names are dictated by which player shines most for their respective team. This week Welly and Nephew, unsurprisingly, were those influential figures.
Apologies were received from two regulars who were unable to make the game. Paul and Scruffy. Their loss, missed a cracker.
Individual performances:
Welly – has the ability to take a whole team on by himself. Seen better from him than yesterday’s performance. Rinsed Shane-boy, hilarious.
H – What’s happened to him? Used to be a very good player, recently average.
Monz – good in defence, offers nothing else. Should stay in his own half. Cried like a bitch when Christopher didn’t defend.
Matt – Very good player. Wish he was a regular.
Chris Jacob – scored some blinders against Atman. Mainly because the defence just watched him.
Atman – Scored 6. Slid Welly when he was about to score. Above average performance.
Shayan – Midfield meistro, week in week out. Can’t finish his dinner. Turned inside out by Welly. Played well.
Dips – Twinkle toes. Scored good goals.
Amiel – Only ever passes to Shane-boy. Scored less than he should have. Didn’t moan, much.
Nephew – Bossed it.
Personal highlights:
-Shane-boy saving the ball with his cock, and not so much as flinching.
-Christopher tripping on his own foot and claiming a foul. Always an event when Christopher falls over, as it seems to take 4mins.
-Atman trying to run faster than his legs could move and falling face-first into the deck.
Next week, new teams, new blog...

Week 1
So welcome to my new feature. A weekly review of a game of football between friends. A game of football where the men step up to be counted. A game of football where…ah who am I trying to kid, it’s just 10 guys TRYING to play football.
A quick introduction to the players:
AMIER – Always late and always grunting
ATUL – Dhalsim look-a-like. Stop sliding!
CHRIS (H) – Has 3 legs and so sweet
CHRIS (JACOB) – Shoots from his own half
DIPS – Cool, calm and has a Pouch
MONZIE – Can’t score to save his life.
PAUL – The battering ram
SHAYAN – My brother.
SHERWIN - Me
WEL – The professional footballer
These are the set 10, but of course from time to time there are some changes so I will do my utmost to keep you updated of the changes
And what a week to start my review. One word to sum up the entire game and my performance – SHOCKER!!! I twisted myself up twice, scored two goals and that is all I remember of my own game. Didn’t contribute much aside from the usual side-ways running. For those that do not know what side-ways running is – it is a lazy fat persons way of claiming they are running.
Luckily I think, almost everyone else had a shocker too. Only Chris Jacob, Amier and Wel came away able to hold their heads up. Wel is a semi-pro footballer so all of this is child’s play, yet even he missed a sitter from just outside the area – HA!!! Dips had a good game too but had to go in goal half way through after hurting himself - again
The teams were Amier, Dips, Monzie, Paul & Shayan vs Atul, Chris H, Chris Jacob, Wel & I. The game started off with Dips twisting up Atul and their team going 1-nil up. More mistakes from both sides and Amier scoring off every rebound meant the opposition were in the lead. Supposedly the match ended as a draw – PHEW!!! I wasn’t keeping count but that’s what I heard so I’ll stick to it. I am going to jinx myself but since starting up this new 5-a-side, I have only lost once. I have played bad many times but I will mention this record for as long as I can. POW!!!
Highlights of the game –
The ball rebounding of the wall and hitting Amier’s head
Chris Jacob bouncing off Paul – he is a beast of a man
Atul hand-balling the ball on purpose - that guy has changed
Stepping on Shayan's foot. I said sorry but did i mean it???
YEAH BOYCE
