All 3 agree? No homo...

Yea man will sort something out when I'm done with uni. Go for a messy one somewhere! haha (not really in line with our diet plan!) Haha No matter how I take a pic it will look super homo...... lol

Yea I think 2 10k runs, a 90min football match and whatever 6 a side pick up games I can pick up a week will be enough a week? Yes Kevin hello! haha Yea I think I'll lose all the weight first and then spend the time afterwards trying to get my bulk back up. I'm more concerned about losing the weight than bulking up, I'm wide. I would post a pic to show but thats tres gay?

Yea man, I mean I've had the same girl for like 2 years now, so not like I'm trying to get hench and impress people I've just got way too slack with her and let my standards slip. And want to get into a good standard football team after leaving uni so fitness is important, I'm fit but fat atm, so I imagine losing that excess will make it easier.

Diet day 2! Haha got on the scales and I was like 14 stone! Haha But I carry it well. Want to get down to 12.5 (good target?) ?!?! I'm 6 foot but pretty wide across the chest. Doing the no food after 6 diet. No bad foods, try and stay away from fatty food. Eating quorn mince, veg spag bols and stuff. Only taking protein after a workout. 2 gym cardio sessions a week and a football match. Sound good? How much weights should I do? I know its going to sound vain but under the fat I'm probably as big as I want to be (like in my shoulder backs and arms.) Abs are just a case of body fat so how nesicary is it really?

I don't think folding tyres are a great idea for tubeless.... I don't think folding tyres are a great idea for tubeless....

No or the tyre would just fall off the rim. You must run high pressures to keep everything pushing outwards?

DONT use a plastic ball, 1 gust of wind and its halfway down the road! WHY OH WHY

Hell yeahs!

When people say "duty"

So Capello......

What exactly are you trying to work out?

Banging!

Yea literally try to get your big toe to touch your shin and the ball literally "fits" there, you can practice it by sitting down and putting the ball in with your hands, because you are sitting down your totally balanced and should get the feel of it quicker. Like I mean the main thing to look at in that video is my left leg, you can see the whole time it static and balances the right leg. I cant do left footed crosses so instead I mastered the thing where you swing your right leg behind your left, can get over half a pitch kicking like that haha

Right ok heres some real basics, some which you can (hopefully) do without smashing too much shit up haha. The 1st 3 sets are just letting the ball pop off your foot and then re-catching it on your foot. The 2nd set of 3 I use my knee to force the ball down onto the ground and then re-catch it on my foot. I think this is an essential skill as it helps you to control the ball in a match when its falling from a good height. Think of it this way if you can keep the ball balanced on your foot when it falls from 2 foot, you need can use this same sort of "cushioning" controlled touch when the ball falls from 18 foot. Pull your foot down as you feel the ball touch it and control it. again it should flip round ina bit.

Yea the only reason I would flick using my heel is if I'm doing the trick at pace to try to beat someone, its really a different technique, since you can see in the vid im standing still so when I jump with the ball I aim to flick it "up" not "out". At pace you want to put the ball over and in front of you, but you really need to do that when theres a bit more space (ie not in your missis kitchen haha). If its a nice day tomorow ill be going over the astro to have a kick about so may ask my mate to film some basics if you want me to? Oh and also be careful knocked my laptop screen out of place the other day when I was practising diving headers lol. Got this one trick that I've made up which ill post sometime

Ok well I've made this lil joke vid of something you can try, its not great I just got out of bed its in my 6 foot by 6 foot gravel garden but you can get the idea, nice lil double flick the 2nd one wasn't spot on but get over it haha it looks cool and is quite nice to supprise people in kick ups just a lil different. Almost got dicappitated by the drying line as well lol ok it should flip and rotate in a bit lol

Not meaning to sound like a retard, but aren't you just better off at your (our) age focusing on the core parts of the game? When I play with people I prefer someone to keeps his head above his knees and just plays a simple effective passing game over someone who stares at the ball with his head down trying tricks haha. For trick keepy ups and stuff just watch youtube vids then go practice simple!

No yid army isn't a gang thing at all. Its just like being a gooner, or anything, every club has there nickname. DW about it man lol

Yea that was the downside of football (maybe worse because I lived in Essex) But as a kid parents used to get banned from attending matches and some people took it wayy too far. I remember in the quarter finals of the Essex Cup I scored a free kick in extra time and in the next 2 or so minutes 4 of there players got sent off and the match had to finish as a DNF, people really took youth football too far, but I guess everyone wants to be a professional footballer and everyone knew scouts would be at the final. EDIT: And to add thats why I refused to play for the school and didn't do trials for the uni team because all their "good" players are greedy arrogant pricks, had an "awesome 2nd team player" play for us once and he never passed the ball, one of our lads has now got into 1st team but never passed the ball so I had to keep subbing him off despite his obvious skill.

Game on Sundays been called off.... "frozen pitch" f**king pussys.

I usually agree with you Dave but you really couldn't be further from the truth, I know loads of people who went through grass roots academies, didn't do well at school because they were always bunking to play football and none of them came near the grade. One of them I used to play 6 a side with when he was out of contract for Ipswitch and there were 4 of us all who played 2 or 3 times a week all tried to tackle him at once and he always came out with the ball. He was literally on a whole different level but never made it. It may look simple but you simply wouldn't stand a chance.

Not being funny but if you really were that good smoking wouldn't have mattered that much, if you love the game you will play no matter what. I took a year out after I ruptured my spleen but got back into it and I still smoke.... I'm not as good as I used to be but I still look forwards to playing every Sunday. Some top prem players smoke... well Ashley Cole does... if you call him a top player.

Agreed you have literally no idea whats going on in his head, last full City game I watched he had 3 arguments with Toure about who was going to take a 40 yard free kick, Balotelli won everytime and put it into the back row of the crowd everytime! haha he walked into Manchester Universitys Library the other day and payed off everyones fines! haha lad! and at christmas walked round the town centre dressed as Santa handing out 50 pound notes! Such a character now always a good one! but never dull!

I was waiting for that to be honest. What do people reckon about the £83m Barca signing?
