      Under most circumstances, neither do I. It was only when late last night I realised there was a big possibility it could be a break that I decided to go rather than risk it healing incorrectly and it affecting my wrist for the rest of my life.

      @komodo

      Actually the way I play I might pick up injuries. There are times I even dive like Tsonga in tennis. :P

      @TNB brutal stuff mate....do you also celebrate like Tsonga when you win? lol

      @Ben I only do about 5hrs a on the bike and 4hrs on heavy bags a week plus do some sparring when I can. I use to run but found it really boring. I try to keep the cardio to a bare minimum don't really want to lose any muscle. But I can see why people would enjoy it I prefer doing strenght work peronally.

  6. Got a new mobile phone :D

      Took me a minute to correlate that with the US release, but I knew it looked familiar. It was released as the HTC Status here. Reminds me a lot of a Blackberry, with the unfortunate addition of a Facebook button.

    3. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      By brother has a BlackBerry and it's head and shoulders above that. The Facebook button is just a gimmick really and I don't use it at all, I've pressed it once and that was by accident.

    4. frstplce

      I used to have a Blackberry. They just couldn't keep up. Todays tech market moves quickly and Blackberry is still hanging onto an OS that is way outdated. I've got a Motorola Photon now and Android is wonderful.

  7. I can only apologise to other members and the staff. My activity levels have been terrible lately as I've had lots of Uni assignments, plus I have a second job on top of my coaching. Things have calmed down a bit now, so I'm back!

      My come back has sucked due to Uni work. Just 1200 more words on my biomechanics assignment and you'll all have to put up with my again full time!

    4. The Next Berbatov

      The Next Berbatov

      Yes it does actually. Approved it. Add to the England section so that you'll get more comments and discussions on it.

      Great. I really love stuff like that. I found a berbatov bicycle kick goal vs liverpool from a fan's view. That was awesome

    3. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      I didn't even get the goal on video! I had just turned the phone camera on to get a video of the crowd and we scored a few seconds later so I was jumping up and down screaming with everyone else. Raw emotion.

    4. The Next Berbatov

      The Next Berbatov

      Nice. Anyways I've added the images from yesterday to the gallery. I have a picture of the away fans , might as well have got you on the picture(if you're lucky though)

      This is the lamest way I've ever got it, I was in my mate's car yesterday for a couple of hours with the window down and had my elbow/arm hanging out the window and it burned. Pathetic.

    3. Lukemeister
    4. frstplce

      frstplce

      Ha, I've actually done exactly that. Worse, I managed to do that on my way to the beach. I arrived with the side of me near the window already burnt.

  12. New article up on the homepage guys, let me know what you think!

      You know it ;) Got injured 25 minutes into my debut today though, very pissed off.

    3. Lukemeister

      Lukemeister

      shit bad injury?

    4. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      Nah, just a quad strain. But it was enough to make running up and down the wing a bitch, plus their was no point risking it getting worse as we were only playing a friendly.

  16. Olympics football tickets have arrived!! :D

    1. Lukemeister
    2. frstplce

      frstplce

      At least all of that should be airing on Tv for me, unlike regular games.

    3. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      Probably mate. I'll be at the New Zealand vs Egypt game closely followed by Brazil vs Belarus.

  17. Just got an offer from my first choice University!! Feeling happy!!

    1. frstplce

      frstplce

      Congrats on that. I sometimes wonder what I'd be doing now if I followed through with my schooling.

    2. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      Cheers Bill, do you regret not carrying on?

    3. frstplce

      frstplce

      When I get my paycheck I do. I believe there are plenty of opportunities out there though for those of us who didn't complete university studies unless you are trying to become a doctor or lawyer.

  18. New article tomorrow guys. From now on I'm going to put one out every Friday :)

  19. It's been a long day. Shattered.

      Mates tried to get me to go into town as well tonight. No chance!

  20. I met John Farnworth at the weekend, that name should be familiar to freestyle football fans! Turns out that he works with the company I'll be working with this summer in the US and Canada.

    1. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      I should also say that he was the nicest guy ever. Stopped and talked to me for a good 15 minutes even though he had to get ready for a show and he let me grab a quick picture with him.

    2. Toño

      Toño

      I think I know this lad, not personally, but I watched some of his videos year ago or so on youtube, while watching some great freestyle footy footage indeed. Talented and skillful, he's so calm and chilled. He also made the impression of very nice person so it does not suprise me :) That's nice Ben, let us know if you'll meet him again later on during the summer!

    3. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      Yeah, I used to watch his video from the age of about 14 so it was pretty special to meet him! I'll certainly let you guys know if I end up working with him!

  21. "Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

    1. komodo

      komodo

      "You ever...seen a grown man naked?"

    2. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      Joey, do you ever hang around the gymnasium?"

    3. komodo

      komodo

      "We'd better get back now Joey."

  22. Had a charity game for the team I play for today. Good fun, free buffet afterwards!

    1. frstplce

      frstplce

      Sounds fun. The trick though is that you're supposed to offer the opposing team the free buffet *before* the game. :P

    2. BenMWard

      BenMWard

      It was the first team vs the second team so everyone got in on it anyway :P

  23. Gonna start on a new article today, it'll go up on Monday/Tuesday. Putting a lot of effort into this one so I hope you guys enjoy it :)
