Thanks for the tip, but do you know what? I'm getting quite attached to my new moniker.

'Matt'! Kind of dynamic, and to the point, don't you think?

Well I did.

Achy breaky body 7:09pm on 04 Dec 2009 Greetings from Rudgwick.

I have to say that now as my name doesn't give it away.

Seems some people have been drawing names out of a hat in South Africa. Once upon a time, not that long ago, that would have been for the next lucky recipient of a 'necklace', but this is now, and this is football.

Turns out we're going to play the USA, I remembered that as a fair amount of my DNA comes from there, and someone else, and another team.

You know, I really can't get interested in this anymore. International football, that is. Don't get me wrong, I love footy. Played as a kid, badly, but I had a go, played even more badly as a teenager and then broke my ankle playing when I was 20. The message finally got through at that point and I hung up my boots. I support Fulham, as I have done all my life, although some would argue that isn't really football (I would remind them that we won a match in Europe last night and are 10th in the.....oh, you know), but these days the thought of watching these overpaid nancy boys pulling on the shirt of the country I can't get patriotic about simply leaves me cold. I was there in 96 cheering Gazza and the boys on as the whole nation went crazy for three lions, but something has changed since then. People often talk about the club v country thing, which do you have more passion for, and for me there is no contest. England to win the world cup or Fulham the FA cup? It is the Cottagers every time I'm afraid. I can't put my finger on what has gone wrong, may be it is me, but it probably comes back to money at the end of the day. Not just the obscene amounts paid to players, but the whole thing. Witness the world cup qualifying. With 'big name sides' failing to qualify by rights, what do FIFA do? Fix, sorry seed, the play-offs. I ranted a while back about Formula One and the constant 'tweaking' of the rules every time Bernie doesn't like something - sorry, the FIA feel it is appropriate - and it is now seeping into other sports so that the marketing men get their way and sell squillions more dollars of TV rights. Sorry, but it isn't right. Give me a bunch of lads in the park, with jumpers for goalposts, 'rush goalie' and 'next goal the winner' when it starts to get dark. That was real football. Well, it was in my day.

Sorry about that.

Peace + love

6.55 a.m. Thursday morning 9:40pm on 03 Dec 2009 I'm going underground.

Mostly to watch the end of the Fulham match, but also for self-preservation. I always have my priorities right.

Watch my back for me. Guys - I'm counting on you. We are the rebel army and it is one for all, and all for one.

If I don't return, I wish you well. Rest assured, I will go down fighting.

Oh, and I don't plod along with both arms outstretched, so I should be OK with our bandaged-clad chums.

Wish me well. Good luck team.

M. Maybe forever, maybe till tomorrow.

Guard your moniker with your life. Be a braveheart and fight for what you believe in.

If we don't make it, you must keep the blog going.

I know you can do it.

6.55 a.m. Thursday morning 9:26pm on 03 Dec 2009 Good work MC.

Guard your choklit, but don't stand too close too the fridge, they have already infiltrated Chris's, yours could be next. Remember, the tell-tale signs are your yoghurts and cheeses freezing. I have warned Chris not to attempt to fix his tomorrow.

No! Don't say mummy! They're the worst ones! Them and the ones with the snake-eyes - you have to watch them really closely, slippery little blighters.

If you see anyone with slightly excessive bandage-wear, run very quickly in the opposite direction. For some reason, they can only plod along with both arms outstretched, which generally gives us a slight advantage. Unless you can only plod along with both arms outstretched, of course.

M - as he is known now.
