Fantastic start mate, how close was the Chelsea game because it looks like you gave me a good game, had you beaten them you'd be top:( good luck for next month though...TOUGH fixtures!
Aaron - Thanks mate! They had most of the game in their favour, but towards the end we launched quite a few good attacks.
Fight Club
It was Friday, the day before the Swansea Game. I was about to leave my office. The Swansea game was tomorrow so I had to get some sleep for the journey to Wales in the morning. I stuck a piece of paper with the tactics that I would use into a suitcase and got out of my seat. As I was walking towards the door, my phone rang. I fished it out of my pocket and read the name on the screen.It was Robert Koren, the club captain, why would he be calling me at this time?
“Hello?” I asked, puzzled.
“Hi Boss! It's me Robert.”
“Hey Robert, what are you calling me for, you know we're travelling to Wales in the morning, don't you?”
“Yes, but you're gonna want to see this!”
“What's going on!”
“Just come to the pitch, quickly!”
What the hell was going on?!
I put the phone back in my pocket and exited my office to the pitch. As I arrived at the pitch, I saw two men fighting. I couldn't quite make them out.
“Get a haircut, you fuckin mongrel!”
“Who do you think you're talking to! I'll cut your bollox off!”
I noticed who it was, one of them was Tom Huddlestone, the other was Carlton Cole.
“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!”
“Finally some order! That black cunt has been cheating with my girlfriend!”
I slapped Tom.
“What the FUCK was that for?!”
“Don't talk to me like that, do you know who I am?!”
“I know full well, you stuck-up bitch!”
“Right that's it! Tom, piss off, and don't bother coming here tomorrow, I'm banning you from playing in the Swansea. Same to you too Carlton!”
“Fuck!”
Huddlestone and Cole stormed out of the grounds. I couldn't believe them, I like Tom as well! I was pissed! I needed Huddlestone, he was one of my key players. I'll just have to home that Sagbo and Graham are available tomorrow.
