Weekend Round Up + Other BS
Tuesday, 31 March 09, 10:30 AM · Comments(0)
Hi and hello Football fans it's your old pal Roko the Football Guy, whats going down? I hope all is well wherever you are, things are Grey and depressing here in the broom closet at Football Guy towers.
Remember last week I mentioned that I had forgot to book my hours for work this week? (I think I mentioned it?) Anyway, I was told to call up Monday and the guys in scheduling would give me what they had left, so I called them and they gave me what they had left........ Have a guess........ If you times 0 by 0........ You get 0. Yep that's right, no work for me all week, now that might not sound like the worst thing in the world, but when you consider that I don't get paid if I don't work and that this weeks pay is a very important for me as it's the weeks pay I pay my Direct Debits with you can see why I'm feeling a little down.
It's also the reason there was not Monday Hangover yesterday...... Well part of the reason, the other part was that it was an International weekend and that means no hangover.
So if anyone needs a handyman to maybe paint a room or fix something in their house or mow the lawn this week and is willing to pay cash in hand, by all means please do drop me a line!
Weekend Prediction Review
Since I was not battling Lawro this week and it was just for fun I felt I let myself down ny not bringing my A Game to the prediction.
If you can't remember them, take a look here.
England v Slovakia
I had 2-0 and was right....... Until England needlessly scored another two goals...... Bastards!
Good performance by England and without too much effort, Capello has shown he can beat the teams he should beat with England, the only question is, can he take them to the next level and beat the likes of Spain, Brazil or Argentina? (the latter two for me are the favorites for the 2010 World Cup as it's being held outside of Europe and a European team has never won the World Cup out of Europe).
Against Spain England got outclassed, but there is still plenty of time for Mr Capello to figure things out.
Oh yeah, big congrats to "old Becks" for becoming England's most capped outfield player, I'm sure he will add a few more to that record before it's all said and done
Northern Ireland v Poland
This game really annoyed me as Northern Ireland played like complete BUMS, but fortunately for them Poland played like dingleberries ( the pieces of poo that get stuck in your arse crack hair).
I thought the Poles would win 3-1 yet they very nearly ended up losing by that scoreline. So what went wrong? Well I didn't take in to consideration that Artur Boruc would all of a sudden become Frank Spencer and cost Poland two goals!
So well done N.I. you beat a team by playing slightly less worse than they did...... (Clap, Clap, Clap)
Rep of Ireland v Bulgaria
Silly, silly me, I wish I could have this one back. Those of you who read my weekend prediction regularly will know I'm a big stickler for trends, as in "if team A has not won at team B's ground in a long time" or something like that.
So, if you read what I wrote for my prediction for this game -
"Bulgaria are yet to win a game in these qualifiers, but then again they have not lost yet either".
Football Guy = Dumbass.
That's right, I had a trend and mentioned it, yet failed to apply it to my prediction...... What a chump..... I said 2-1 Ireland....... Not surprisingly it was 1-1.
Wales v Finland
This one I actually don't feel that bad about, I said 2-1 Wales yet it was 2-0 Finland.
Well how was I supposed to know that Wales at home could not beat the mighty Finland in a must win game for them?
I know Wales don't have that many good players, but neither do Finland! I guess Sami Hyypia can still cut it, but other than that..... They have 167 year old Jari Litmanen playing up front!!! Why didn't Wales just bring Ian Rush out of retirement? He's only 185!
Basically Wales are poo and I'm never trusting them to beat anybody at home ever again...... Sorry to those of you who took my advice on backing Wales to win the match at the bookies, but really you shouldn't blame me, blame Wales for fooling us that they were a OK football team.......
Holland v Scotland
Should have said 3-0....... Stupid 2-0..... Anyway, at least I was right about Scotland having no chance in this one.
OK peeps, will be back tomorrow with another round of International preview and more nonsense.
Till then,
Take care
