Just Another Week

I am trying to keep the blog posts going for those that actually read the blog (who are they?) All I did last week was train, play in a game and worry whether I would have a place to stay or not. If you must know, we have to move out of the place we are currently staying at because of some unfortunate circumstances due to the family that own the whole house. So they are currently in the process of selling and we all decided just to leave the flat before things got messy.

I found a place to stay however. Daniel Eisenhunt and his wife are allowing me to stay at their flat for the next month or two. By that time I will hopefully get my own flat or nice cheaper lodging that is somewhat comfortable. To be honest, I do not know what they have gotten themselves into but hopefully I will be moving in with them next week.

The footy? It's getting better. TKU scored another victory against Papatotoe (I like that name for some odd reason). We dominated the first half but somehow found ourselves down. Then we scored three un-answered before they pulled one back to finish 3-2. We scraped away towards the last 10 to 15 minutes but a win is a win and we'll accept the three points and ask questions later. No one said that getting three points in this league would be easy by any means.

Now we are in seventh place with 10 points and we have a big match against East Coast Bays next Saturday. They are currently league-leaders and have let it five goals up to date (they haven't played their round 6 match yet), so this is going to be a big match. Hopefully me and the boys will show up. We are having a problem with injuries. We had to make two substitutions along our backline last weekend due to injuries. And there are others in the starting 11 who are injured also, so we are only training two days this week (Yess!)

I am keeping it solid along the backline. I never want to complicate things while playing in the back. Using the K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) method to make things go along smoothly. I do not need to be dribbling out of the backline or anything. Just look up, see if you can make a pass, if not clear the ball as far as possible. Being as fit as I am right now, I can do much more in the game especially in the center half position where you do not even need to do as much running as anyone else on the field, unless you are on the back-foot all the time.

During this point in time, I am going through a wide-range of emotions. I was actually thinking about picking up my ball and going home due to the club not being able to find me a part-time job when they said they would and now potentially being homeless. On the way to training on Thursday, I was about to utter the words: "This could not get worse" However when I thought about it, I was like: "you know what, it could possibly get worse so I just need to shut up." The problem that I am having with everything is that it has nothing to do with soccer. It is more of the real-life situation that I am in and the feeling of being used.

Fortunately, like I said earlier, I got a place to stay now and I have a job until I could possibly be working in a casino (which would be tight). So hopefully things are coming together just nicely. I have some money problems at this time but that seems to come with the territory for Mr. Andre Sherard....
