The Final Countdown - 3 sleeps

Only 3 sleeps to go and the tension is mounting. Wicky has even started to chew his fingernails (and thats disgusting cause hes a plumber) .

Rear-end has advised that his kicking is fine, but he’s now working on strengthening his arm muscles to aid in taking out the “Young Guns”, opps that should read  deflecting their shots at goal (although we only expect 2 in the match).  Without access to a gym, Rear-end has had to improvise, and is often seen doing shuttle runs down to “Trax” and using handles as barbells.  The meat pies have helped to up his Carb intake as well.

Legs has been watching too much TV, reruns of the “Tour de France”, and has reportedly shaved his legs decreasing wind resistance  so that he can cut through the air quicker. To be honest his legs created hardly any resistance at all thus the nick name of chicken “Legs”, maybe should have been “lucky legs”, lucky they don’t break!

Veitchy apparently has accepted a contract for next season for a Christchurch based franchise,  and he’s expected to move south at the end of the year.  The final will be his last appearance in an “Old Farts” shirt, so will be looking to score 12 goals to overhaul Cambo as the teams top scorer.

For todays trivia we thought we ask players about their musical tastes. What a variety there was , both between the teams and even within the ” Farts”.

The “Young Guns” almost universally stated that Justin Bieber and with Boy Zone just edging out ABBA as their favourite artists (although Gus preferred “the Wiggles”).

In the Farts camp,

·         understandably the Backs liked anything Heavy,  though Toddy preferred Joe Cocker, his idol (and apparently he’s appearing shortly on “Stars in their eyes” as him, has the hair/sideboards anyway),

·         Legs likes both sorts of music, “Country and Western” and regularly  listens to the Topp Twins and any yodelling artist

·          Veitchy is very obviously into  punk rock (Sex Pistols, The Banshees)

·         and Cambo likes Carly Simon (he actually does this “your so vain” in written about him!)
