So, its been awile since i last narrated a blog. Actually let me explain why i am narrating this blog entry. The answer being boredom on Chantelle’s part, lazyness on Tariq’s part and finally intrigument on Zahid’s part. So lets start with the talk of the town. Saeed’s birthday bonanza aka The Greatest Birthday Ever! Some of the things which happened that night are never to be spoken of again by those involved. So unfortunatly i cant share as much as i would like, but it was a truly memorable and bonding experience (thanks Zahid for that word.) And then even after Saeed had left and the bonanza had finished, the fun carried on till the early hours with the legendary team game of who could think of the most ‘ate’ words (pause for we had to explain the game for Zahid) It was one of my most memorable nights in manchester to date. P.S the presents were too much. P.P.S the food at zouk’s was amazing, the steak was too nice, in fact thats the little picture im going to put up on the side Now on to the next bonanza…
ZAHIDS BIRTHDAY BO-NAN-ZA! Started off with a mass battle between Chantelle and Zaf, along the lines of ‘Why dont you drink?’ A vicious assault from Zaf which resulted in me, Mohsin and Riz having to stick up for Chantelle and ask the same question to Zaf, why doesnt he drink?! Also, unfortunatly some of the Saeed birthday bonanza shenanigans were brought into Zahids birthday bonanza and the results werent pleasant for all involved (im being intentionally vague for my readers, i wish to protect you from this VILE… thing!) Then we went to Akbars aka Rudebars but their service was shocking, there was no take your time, no feel free to stick around, it was sit down, order, eat, do one! That lack of time in ordering led me and Talli to rush and pick a dish which was not right for us and our needs of what we wanted to eat. At this point i was dreaming of being back in time 24 hours to the real birthday bonanza (just kidding for Zahid, i really enjoyed the rude waiters) Then we went to Shisha and that was wicked. Me, Riz and H did karaoke without a karaoke machine. The whole shisha cafe looked at us disgustedly as we were ruining their shisha music experience. We replied by singing louder “We gotta fight fight fight fight fight for this love!!!!” Then it turned 12 oclock and we gave Zahid birthday wishes and majority of us unfortunatly had to disperse as some had to go home and others had pressing matters. FYI on that thursday i got my first last year assignment mark back and me and Mohsin and Talha and Giorgio and Mattia got 75%. Very proud to say the least, ecstatic to say the most, anything in between is a medium answer.
Now on to this week at Manchester (Barlick was standard) Monday morning started with the new Zahid, waking up before 9am, 8.22 to be precise. Going for breakfast and then going into uni for before 10am and then staying in university until 5.30pm (pause for shock to wear off) The guy kicked it. Shame he didnt do any work. Then me, H, Muddy, Zahid and Mohsin embarked on one of the greatest walks home i have ever experienced. Again, i shall protect my readers from some of the obscenities that were used but a comment i made about Zahid had H in such laughter i thought he was gonna die. Then we chilled at night and i felt it was up to me to now try and get the second slacker to go to university. So i set my eyes firmly on Chantelle and i knew there was one thing that motivated her… Food! (only joking) I offered Chantelle a meal to come in to university at 9oclock and low and behold at 9oclock like clockwork she was ringing the bell and getting herself in and ready to go to university with Ibrar. Then at uni i went into the library and low and behold she was in the library doing work! The shock on my face was priceless! So after watching liverpool getting knocked out of the Champions league (hahahahahah) me and Chantelle went to Nandos and had a tremendous meal and nice and revealing talk. Then we went back to the house and heard all about TNF (Tuesday night football) Zahid says (“not I say its a fact, i played awesomly, this is aside from the quotations i scored 3 goals in 3 minutes or was it 2 minutes, no just put 3 minutes”) In my opinion its just a cheap friday night football althought there are disagreements in Manchester and Mohsin did soil the name, the good name, of friday night football ratings with his shoddy, disgraceful twitter post! Today i chilled with aneesa and chantelle and ibrar and told the truth… It was a very good laugh we had 
me and ibrar are too much at telling the truth…
So whats upcoming in the life of Tariq? Thats the question Chantelle just asked me (Chantelle says thats a lie, but i lie on my website my readers should know that) I replied enthusiastically, Eid on friday, going home early on thursday. i have no Eid clothes thought, dissapointed. Then back to work on saturday and sunday have a big few weeks now til christman holidays, need to do alot of work. Hopefully i should get good grades. Now, we are hoping Zahid gets motivated and hands in a brilliant assignment, hoping being the key word.

Just a quick review of Friday Night Football (FNF) since I was forced to the sidelines and wasn’t able to play. It was very competitive game and remained close throughout, even though on paper I would say the better team lost.
(16) Amer, Manzar, Khawer, Tariq, Asad
v
(19) Majid, Irfan, Amjad, Mohsin, Raheem
Amer – 9 - another solid performance, was made to do lots of running, scored the kind of goals from distance only he can, rolled back the years with some sublime skill, the highlight of the game was the turn that sent Irfan completely the wrong way (I think he ended up in Thornton!!) and a trademark finish.
Manzar – 8.5 - obviously the most technically and physically competent player on the pitch, almost all of his goals were self-made, communicated well and tried to instill discipline and an element of calm to the team. Did miss a few relatively easy chances and I think slightly intimidated his team-mates.
Khawer – 5 - usually accustomed to having the ‘Most Willing Runner’ tag, however, i think because Manzar was also playing, this week Khawer’s performance was off-key. Seemed to be in a bad mood from the off, making silly runs and asking far too much from others, had it not been for the others keeping the team-spirit alive, his attitude would have clearly poisoned his own team-mates.
Tariq – 5 - ordinarily five out of ten would be a poor performance, but you have to remember his physical condition, to get the same rating as Khawer and to go the whole game without too many glaring mistakes due to lacking fitness, is actually an achievement.
Asad – 5 - it is always difficult for youngster to play with players who are significantly bigger and stronger than they are, but it is not helped when every mistake is scrutinized. Having said that, he did miss a lot of easy chances and even marking Raheem, he struggled to get into the right positions.
Majid – 8 – you could say he is the luckiest player ever, but he has been doing it for so long that you have to give him credit, the ball just sticks to his feet and he was always willing to keep possession when others weren’t able to offer an option. He was the only player that wasn’t phased by Manzar’s presence and would have a go, his only down-side is his wayward shooting.
Irfan – 7 - another good performance from Irfan, linked up well with former school-mate Amjad, always looked capable of scoring with either foot, did start to get snuffed out as the game heated up.
Amjad – 6 - kept things ticking over with lots of simple passes and the occasional burst, but does not do enough positive running, mainly due to fitness. Relied too much on others to make space and runs, a bit like a quarter-back, which is a luxury you can’t afford in a 5-a-side match.
Mohsin – 7 - similar to Amjad, in that he was always looking for others to do the things he is not prepared to do himself, but when he defended well and looked a threat from distance, got a rating boost by some truly exceptional goal-keeping in the last 10 minutes, that ultimately led his team to victory.
Raheem – 6.5 – as the youngest player on the pitch you would think he would have been their weak link, but he was full of running, looked completely unfazed. Has very good control of the ball and his first touch was better than a lot of senior players, however, this single-minded confidence that he has often leads him to overlook or delay the simple pass.
Sadif and Tariq
New look blog… I like this theme so im probably going to stick with it for a while… Sadif was the chief enabler in all of this happening so i would like to say thank you and if you dont read his blog you should aswell… Like anyone is reading this apart from sadz… Who are we kidding eh!
FNF match rating will be done by sadif this week… they should be arriving at the latest tomorrow im assuming… i dont see no reason why they would come at a later time… Was working at the co-op today and the lies we said last week have stuck with one customer… i was buzzing and carried on the lie… She thinks in december Ibrar is going to australia….
Today i was pretty much chilling… i watched tv and the normal friday thing occured… Just kept myself busy til 3 went to work then played football then the boys came down to mine… First it was mohsin and sadif then sadif went then amer came… us three ataf and kashaf got some food ate it… watched seinfeld generally chilled… it ended up being a good night…
First of question time… Regardless of how much Nick Griffin was exposed the fact he was on legitimised the fact the bnp are an actual existance and thats just the sad thing 
But i dont even want to waste words on them… Theres better things to blog about then people who cant get over there own inner weaknesses and just blame miniorites or people with differing lifestyles…
Something much more worth the time talking about is MANCHESTER UNITED VS LIVERPOOL!!! This sunday… 2:00pm… meaning i cant watch it… unless something magical happens… I cant see liverpool losing 5 games in the row… my brain just cant comprehend such a thing to happen… even though they have been playing so badly they will play better against us… and apparently rooney and gerrard are doubts… i hope we win after the last season debarcle…
In other news… Something amazing happened to mohsin on Thursday… Words can not describe what actually happened… but let me assure you… it was by far the funniest thing ever… it was throughly embarrasing for all involved and i dont think i have laughed so hard in my life…
University isnt too bad at the moment… Life at the moment is just going along… I cant wait for football seen as though i have been cleared and have actually got more vitamin E then a fish, its all about getting fit now… Although i know football is going to be solid for next few weeks hopefully i start building up stamina and hopefully i will be better physically then ever before insh’Allah. Although for this week Ataf and Sadif will be both be out joining long time injured player khuram on the sidelines. Possible replacements could be Asad and Rahim but likely to come in are Veterans Manzar and Saqub.
PRO EVOLUTION IS ALSO OUT TODAY!!! I EXPECT ATAF TO HAVE BOUGHT IT BY THE TIME I COME BACK FROM FNF! (although i dont expect it to be as good as fifa 10…)
First of all my interview with ataf talking about the FM2010 demo…
I only asked him one question… Describe football manager 2010 demo without the use of the word UN-believable… He said UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Then he said… Its general gameplay is a certain improvement… The touchline shouts are sensational as they can change the game. Its a lot harder, but you can get the team to play exactly how you want them to play… The options are actually endless on the amount of things you can do… Player postions is now equipped with player roles… This is absolute genius as you have a 4-4-2 formation… But you want an italian style Trequestra whos actually playing up front but plays off the striker with the new roles feature you will just set one of the strikers as a striker and the other as Trequestra. There are almost 4 roles for each position.
The little things which are different aswell as you can call a press conference when you sign somebody, The general look is slick, The communicating with backroom staff is on another level. The advice you get now is brilliant… Definately the most improved thing… The amount of detail is brilliant. The process of transfers is pretty similar but if it aint broke dont fix it and the transfers have always been good… Navigation is different but once you get used to its good… The gameplay is smooth and quick but has only played a couple of games so dont know if there is kinks yet…Its definately more realistic and already its a lot better as its a new approach by FM and its worked from the demo!
Then he lost to man city and took everything back and said its a rubbish game and started a new career with real madrid
Now FNF was an absolute horrendus affair. The teams being
Ataf, Irfan. Mohsin. Sadif. Tariq
vs
Amer, Amjad, Ibrahim, Khawer, Majid
On paper we had the stronger side now… Yet the final result was an absolute battering which i was on the receiving end of… We started of well and were winning by a few goals… for the first 5-10 minutes maximum then they took complete control of possesion and just pummelled us… we scored a few goals on counter attacks and kept it within touching distance just about… then I first fell injured… Then ataf went down and Sadif’s fitness went aswell and it was pretty much 2 against 5 and thats when the battering occured… Now below im going to do a GOAL.COM-esque player ratings out of 10
Ataf – 4 Started off well… Then injury hit (cramp) and was a liability out of the nets but because of the fitness of the rest of the team had to go out for a while then when in nets made a few decent saves which maybe pushed his rating up…
Irfan – 6 Did well and was one of the better performers… Scored some good solo effort and then ended up having too much to do… Was trying to do too much at times but you cant blame the effort was just on a team which didnt really perform…
Mohsin – 6 Similar performance to irfan… scored a few good goals and did run around the pitch a lot… Was frustrated by the team performance and again had to shoulder most of the attacking responsibilities when maybe better as a box to box player…
Sadif – 5 Struggled with his fitness throughout the game but showed class is still there… Fitness is just the key for him. Did struggle today and had a disappointing game by the standards he sets for himself.
Tariq – 1 WAS AWFUL!!!! Got an injury in his foot… and his foot then turned into a complete shooda and it ruined everything… Even before though was clearly just coming back into fitness and needs to build straight from the beginning… Things can only get better from this performance
Amer – 8 Steady performance from Amer… Then excelled at the end… Paced himself well and did the simple things well. Like his full team… was very good at keeping the ball.
Amjad – 8 Was lively and good on the ball. Showed a lot of composure but was guilty of missing chances. Good passing and was good in defence.
Ibrahim – 9 A talent. Started off shy and timid but grew in the match and showed real talent and bundles of energy… Man of the match. He is the next Gabriel Obertan
Khawer – 8 Good performance by khawer. Full of energy and was up and down most game. Started off struggling with finishing… but that only lasted a little while and was a threat most times he got the ball. Didnt give up until the end.
Majid – 8 Very tidy performance from majid. Probably the best passer on the pitch but finished was wayward. Set up chances for people non stop through out the game and also carried on through out the match giving hundred percent until the end.
Football Manager 2010 demo was released yesterday. For any people who are intrested in downloading it and now having a life for the rest of the year click here My brother Ataf is going to be testing it out whilst i slave away at doing uni work… So later on tonight i will probably write a blog about his first experince of it just to see if it is still getting better and more realisitic with every release. With football manager 2009 i had a bad run and it was so realistic i thought the press was actually outside my house calling for my resignation…
Also tonight is the dramatic, unexpected, unimaginable and another un word i dont even know return of FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. This is going to be my first form of excerise since my illness and i fear for what it has done to me. I have never been no “Michael Essien” but now with the loss of weight i should be at a all time new low for me personally. Although i am thinking in a positive light cause things can only get better health wise with a bit of excerise.
