Special deal on Fulham v. Burnley tickets

My friends at VoucherCodes alerted me to a 1/2 price deal on tickets for the Fulham v. Burnley match at Craven Cottage on February 9th.  Looks like a winner.

£15 for an adult ticket and juniors under 16 get in for only £5.

It’s about time.  Admittedly I am a fan of the game, but what better entertainment could you get for the money?

We use these kind of deals to pack the stadium here in San Jose, the crowd always seems to enjoy themselves immensely, and the team gets an advantage with more of their fans to cheer them on.  £20 to take your lad to a football match?  Here’s hoping this catches on all over.  Packed stadiums make the heart sing.

If someone can comp me a couple of plane tickets, we’ll be there with you in the Putney End!

What team does Santa play for?

Here’s my take on it:

Wishing peace on Earth and good will toward all men (and women)

Happy holidays to all

I read someone pointing to soccer and exclaiming “Dios existe!” but I leave such epiphanies to each of my friends as they may find them.

Personal note: A new pair of studs

If you’re like me and play too much, you might owe your Mom a pair of these for Christmas. Also useful if you aren’t ready to pop the question to your girlfriend, or if you are married and need to make a few points.

If you are married, face it: you need to earn a few points. Can you tell I have given these before? It’s a good time to buy as prices have come down in the current economy. Less than $50 on sale, or you can go big…
Diamond Stud Earrings - Temporary Sale
As you know, giving diamonds has benefits. Card could read something like: studs from your soccer stud. You have to take it from there.

OK, order and, job well done, reward yourself with 90 minutes on a pitch somewhere, or maybe a pair of tickets. Ah yeah.

You’re welcome!

Kids, don’t grow up to be Carlos Tevez

The look of the player on the pitch, a skilled & fiery workhorse, captures the fan’s imagination, but what follows?

Few goals, lots of whining, a desire to quit.

If this was said about Carlos Tevez in relation to Manchester United you might take pause to consider if he was done wrong and has a grevience.  But now Tevez talks of retiring altogether.

The story seems too familiar.  Tevez lost favor with his coach for not scoring goals and is no longer in the starting line-up.  This time the team is Argentina and the coach is Maradona.

At only 24 years old, he can have no idea whether he has reached his peak, unless of course he has given up on improving.

Soccer player on fire

All the greats encounter roadblocks.  It might even be said that finding one’s way around a road block is what makes one great.

Perhaps young Tevez believes he knows all the possibilities.  Yet while his physical prowess may be near its peak, an open, thoughtful mind, learning from experience, could take him to new heights.  The starting 11 of great clubs throughout the world are full of players well past their physical peak who dominate by soccer wit.

If Tevez does retire, I will applaud him, but only briefly.

Carlos seems the bold and noble bull who, charging his way into dead end alleys, rams his head into the wall until he is spent and gives up.  It’s a shame.
