This has been eagerly awaited… maybe just by me… but still the eagerness is there… What has been new in my life… hmmmmmmmmmmmm well first of all i must talk about the reason i am blogging from barnoldswick and not manchester. This is the same reason as to why i watch top gear and sky sports news on the hour every hour and then through the night. I am still ill with tb and crohns and i still suffer from intense stomach pains… This means for most of the day im just laying in bed with a pillow over my stomach and im just waiting for the pain to go and then once it passes i try to eat a bit and then go back to sleep!!! its a good life compared to the life of all you people doing all the university final year work (im lying of course i’d well rather be in manchester!!!!)
Yesterday i went to next to go and get my sister a birthday present… and after 4 minutes of walking around looking for something i actually felt like i was gonna throw up and got dizzy so i just went home with nothing… (by the way happy day after your birth sadia… i did plan on publishing this yesterday but instead i started watching love actually and then 8 out of 10 cats… sorry!!!) I have an appointment tomorrow where im going to ask if there isnt anything he can give to get rid of the stomach pain… the problem being that the medicine for crohns makes the tb in my body a lot worse but i have been on tb meds for about a month now and surely them meds should have done something… So i am hopeful that i am going to be better soon… My mother and father and auntie all want me to go and stay in hospital for like a week until i start eating properly etc… i refuse to as everytime im in hospital i dont like it… it depresses me and its just all round not a nice place to be!!!
Well so now its that time where i divulge all the information of what has been going on in my life since the last time i blogged… FYI i havent been lazy i have been quite badly ill hence why i havent been blogging but im going to miss most of the depressing ill details and push onto more fun WOOOOOOOOOOOOO details… Well where i left in my blogging bonanza last time was the mush dot co dot uk… the biggest waste of money on a birthday present ever… These were the good days when i was still at university living the life chilling top billing (whatever that means) then the weekend after that i went home cause i started feeling ill again… Then i reappeared on the thursday for mohsin’s/zaf’s/sal’s birthday which was an all boys bonanza… it was a top laugh actually and it was after the magical semi final against man city and so we were all buzzing about wayne rooney… It was a good laugh but after that night i was a lot iller i went a lot of steps backwards… then i went for two birthday bonanza’s for ya man atafarellis birthday once with amer (aka poops)and once with sadif(aka poops) khuram(aka poops) sajid(aka poops) imran(aka poops) manzar(aka poops) majid(aka poops)… it was a good do on both times really good laughs… and then after that i got ya man asjad his birthday present which i still havent given him cause then on the day of his birthday i started projectile vomiting everywhere!!! it wasnt the best time i have had on asjads birthday!!! so unfortunately i couldnt make it but im sure in the summer i can succesfully photoshop myself into them pictures to make it seem like i was there!!!
Inbetween i have been chilling with khuram or ataf amz and kaz or sadif or manzar or mohsin or gobz actually i have to say all the crew have been very good to me since i have been ill like ibz, zahid, muddy, adeel, aneesa, nayab, chantelle, zainab, hamzah, oun, majid, imran, zaf and issy all keep in touch and ask how i am and its always nice when you hear people are wondering how you are it infaltes your ego big time!!! Even laura told me to update my blog and i was actually doing it at that time and that just freaked me out and made me feel like i was being watched… i closed the curtains in my room after that message!!! In other news i am going to see RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE IN FINSBURY PARK WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THE FREE CONCERT!!!!!! COURTESY OF AMER DITTA!!! Me amer and sadif are going to be in london in june proper mashing it up and the best thing about it being that khuram khawer saqub ataf and mohsin are all going to be piling down with us!!! Should be a top laugh!!! I am also going to see jason manford aswell… see being ill means you get great presents… That is proven by how ataf got me a ipod touch for when i wasnt feeling well!!! it was a very moving moment… there were all kinds of different tears!!! My sister also got my some clothes which i am buzzing off at the moment!!!
So what does the future hold for me? well at the moment i think its more likely that i wont be finishing my final year this year… and ill have to repeat it next year 
but im not giving up and i hope to be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat and finishing this year and so my therefore i can graduate this year… Luckily my dad has said to me these legendary words “look at ataf kashaf and sadia… they spent 5,6 even 7 years at uni… you still have 5 years to finish this final year” that made me laugh as it reminded me that even i spend four years it still means i would have spent the least time in uni 
But i am hoping to go to manchester to see the boys… i just need to make myself feel better hundred percent before i go back out in the real world!!!
The teams this week was
Amjad, Asad, Babar, Majid and Sadif
vs
Irfan, Khawer, Mohsin, Tariq and Zafeer
The game started and it was a classic five a side game where we would score and then they would score but we kept ourselves consistently throughout the match not being behind then after a long period where there was no goal being conceded for either side it was us who got the crucial goal then and then romped home in the end. However the game was a lot tighter then the scoreline would suggest until the last 15 minutes where our team just started taking our chances.
Amjad – 6.5 A good performance from Amjad where he scored more goals then usual and still did his usual steady away performance with passing and defending…
Asad – 6 Much improved performance from Asad. Did very well with running off the ball but struggled a little with finishing. Didnt make any obvious bad passes when on the ball and kept the game simple… Let in a couple of soft goals but the power was there in the shots when he let them in. All in all a much improved performance which he will be looking to take further in his next outings.
Babz – 6 Looked good when going forward but wasnt really involved as much as his team would have liked. His passing was good for most of the game then went a bit to direct when chasing the game and made his teammates run down balls when he could have just kept it a bit more simpler.
Majid – 6.5 Finishing was a little off today from the man dubbed as “The Pakistani Lionel”. Great energy levels and passing again was good. Brings other people into the game very well and wasnt really caught out defensively.
Sadif – 6.5 Spent most of the game out of nets which will be a boost for his personal fitness. Looked sharp and scored a few goals where he was back to his imperious best (a nutmeg on me was particularly spectaculor). Got frustrated towards the end as a few chances passed him by and still not back but well on his way!
Irfan – 8 Link up play with mohsin and khawer in particular was brilliant but also didnt shirk his defensive duty but that could be said for the team as a whole. Scored a lot of goals and created a lot and was at the forefront of most good things created by the team.
Khawer – 7.5 Would have had a 8 with Irfan but again his comments on the pitch just dont make sense… On the field he was excellent in closing down and being a nuisance up front and getting back and making sure people had men. Scored his fair share just should be a little more positive with his shouts on the field.
Mohsin – 7.5 Scored a share of goals today and also did well in defensive duties. Still thought he was either a little ill or hasnt shaken of the knee injury as he wasnt at his free flowing best (if there is anything free flowing). Looked assured on the ball and probably played one of his better passing games today. All in all a good day.
Tariq – 6 Where as Sadif looks like he is finally winning the fitness battle today Tariq may have suffered a relapse. Unfortunately felt some stomach pains which reoccured from the infamous summer illness in the past so after a third of the match was confined to the nets and let in some cheap goals but also made some decent saves. Outfield didnt make any glaring errors on the ball but got beaten too easily a couple of times.
Zafeer – 6.5 For most of the game he was left one on one and a few times was done for pace or skill but towards the end of the game he put in a couple of tremendous tackles to win the ball and start counter attacks. Also the big man got forward and bagged a couple of goals and fair play to him as he put in a accomplished performance. Always tried to make himself an option and gave good positive shouts aswell.

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.
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.
