Well this has been quite a long time since i have doing anything like this. Where do i start to explain the rollercoaster i have been through over the past few months… hmmmmmm i guess i should start from where i left off… Well march the third… i was still ill after that… i have been quite badly ill since then… It resulted in the major news of my life… i ended up seeing my doctor and he said to me i might have to have an operation to relieve the pain and discomfort i have been in. Inbetween this i had my birthday celebration and had a pleasant meal with boys and generally chilled out… For my bday i got some clothes and an soon to arrive ipad from family… also got a racket of mohsin and a t-shirt of amer (the legends
) Then after my bday i got the unfortunate news that my operation was required so i had to go in to blackburn for an ilyestomy and partial bowel removal surgery. Not gonna lie to all you people even though i was looking forward to it cause i knew it would mean no more pain but when i got in to the clothes and all that happened… i shit it in a big way(which now looking back was ironic if you know what an ilyestomy is)… I guess i was unaware of the seriousness of this whole ordeal. I thought id be fine in a couple of days and it wouldnt be a major thing… i had 16 staples on where they cut me open and have had to had a change of lifestyle but i am getting used to it… in hospital i was okay but i had bad times and good times i was happy with all the people who came to visit me it really did mean a lot and then i got let out on tuesday after doctors said i was okay…
Then i got sent back to hospital on wednesday and on wednesday i had the worst night of my life… gastric bypass it isnt a pleasant thing trust me on this one… But after that horrific night i am doing okay since and i have my appetite back and all that… I am looking forward to getting myself on the road to recovery… Now i am all about building my weight and getting healthy and then preparing for my reverse ilyestomy operation which will happen in a few months time… Also i have been found that i dont have crohns disease now it was just a case of tb which destroyed my insides… That is good news as the tb is cureable where as crohns isnt (although sadif may beg to differ about the whole tb being curable thing)
So now thats out of the way the future is the way to look… Am i going to london with the boys or rage concert i can officially rule out the concert and say im very unlikely to be going to london then… I think its too soon for me… I wont be doing much for next two weeks and then hopefully start building up slowly slowly… I have to keep active and not bed ridden but i cant even walk down a street without getting breathless at the moment… thats how bad my fitness is at the moment… I wont be going on a holiday with the boys but if im better i might go back to italy for a week or so… Also i have been give another 2 months off work but then hopefully i should be back this should be my final absence… I think that i am going to be able to finish university in the summer and then graduate a little later then everyone but still graduate none the less i just have two exams and one piece of work… anyhoo its way past my bedtime and now i hope to update more often with more updates on the recovery as i am finally pain free and as i said on the road to recovery… Hopefully this will be the start of more consistent blogging!

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!!!

Right so whats been happening in my life since the last time i blogged… hmmmmmmm I had a manchester monopoly night… i came second… yes that does mean first loser… but there was bare cheating going down Ibrar being the instigater as per usual… wasnt too happy about that Saeed chantelle H and ibz all were pretty poor and me and mohsin dominated the game really… Then i bought monopoly for my phone… i keep playing… all the time… not at work though… me and mohsinn dont play monopoly at work at all :s I have really been buzzing with the Asjad sending jokes… They have been pretty good recently… i have actually enjoyed reading them… There has been a barage of buying from ataf recently.. He bought kashaf a new laptop from nowhere… too much is ataf… And also we should be moving into the new house insh’Allah… Leaving harrison street is becoming more of an actual possiblity…
Hmm so whats new… i had an bronchoscopy on monday… and i literally can not remember what happened between 1-4… Its well been annoying me… i cant remember what happened to me… Apparently its normal but i wanna remember what happened… i took pictures of myself and messaged random people… it was quite freaky… and the nurse told me that i didnt fall asleep… Its well weird that i dont remember…
Then after that my throat was pretty poor to say the least about it… But i am feeling okay now… I should get my test results in three weeks time… Insh’Allah that will get resolved by then… i should get the medicine and that… What else has been new… i went to work and that was the same old same old… been chilling at home really and came to manchester to watch that pathetic united performance… makes me sick to my stomach… Why are united so poor… Been getting uni marks back.. I have got 75, 69 and 68 in my three assignments i have got results back for… I am not optimistic that my run of high grades can continue… I get 4 more assignments back in the upcoming days i think… If i get acceptable grades i will literally be blogging about them like there genuinely is no tomorrow… If i dont ill be more silent then a mute on tv with you pressing mute and turning the volume control down to zero… Now i am off to get some food me thinks… i was thinking chicken cottage with chantelle or ibrar but i shall see what the night brings… BY THE WAY 24 IS BACK 4 EPISODES AND THEY ARE TOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! and i was looking at my analytics page… pretty pretty pretty good
way more people access my site then i expected… its pretty cool actually i buzz off it
and PS the blog title doesnt make sense… but you watch on 28th january… it will make all the sense you could ever want or need!

Back to university with a bang if im brutally honest… Me and mohsin did our full human factors coursework in one day… From 8 til 8… banged it out big time… It made me realise how shit students we are… Why did we leave it til last minute… we had full christmas holidays… i was ill but still… proper shit… The real funny thing was on the sunday… instead of doing work… Me, Mohsin, Asjad and Ibrar instead of doing work had a ridiculosly top laugh reminiscing and that… Doing it big time… Ibrar literally put himself in to the legendary status as did asjad with a little combination which left all of us rolling on the floor laughing our asses off (or in computer lingo ROFLMAO) It was literally too much… My sides were aching and are still hurting now… i laugh just thinking about it… MOMENT OF THE DECADE!!!
Went to work aswell. On my third return back after illness… I think there getting sick of my return from illness’s if im honest… Me and ibrar absolutely cained saturday when we ripped sarah to shreads… She broke the lottery machine and me and ibrar like the helpful employees we are just laughed at her non stop and kept being ridiculosly unhelpful. Then on sunday i made a legendary moo noise whilst ibrar was doing the announcement to close the store and then zaf went mental and scared all the customers… It was a fun weekend back at work if im honest with you…
Went to doctors today and i got good news! The doctor said i was improving and the treatment was being succesful and hopefully has put my crohns into remission… After i finish my course of steriods i shall be 3 weeks without meds to see if it is in remission properly… but the tests results are looking positives… Im still going to the rest of the tests they have scheduled just to make sure its not anything else…Insh’Allah this new year will be a better year for me healthwise… I am looking forward to meeting Hamzah now cant wait to go see him… Had lunch with alfie today… too much… He is an absolute legend… Chilling with him big time… When i went to work he literally didnt do a little bit of work it was class…
Really now i need to get cracking into my uni work… I am really now going to have get my final year project started… Ironically though i am writing this as a way to put off doing my work… I have to say uni work is really ann0ying me now… i hate doing work… why am i in education… The weather is the biggest deterrent to do work… The big freeze is a lot colder then everyone anticipated… I for certain didnt expect how cold it actually ended up being… And now for tomorrow i need to find the quickest way spend my loan money so im thinking of buying clothes and whatnot… then tomorrowa monopoly session is going down with the manchester boys I literally cant wait for that… infact im going to google monopoly tips in preperation for tomorrow…

Yep just incase that news missed you it is 2010… A new decade and all that razzmatazz (i dont know if thats how you spell that word but im pretty certain thats correct). Before i talk about the whole new year and whats being going on i would like to wish Aneesa a happy birthday!!! It is her birthday today and i hope she has an awesome time celebrating!!! And also i wanna give credit to the manchester people for creating what you can see on the side of this… Yes my hat is on top of it so im claiming a contribution towards it… Its a pretty impressive snowman well done to the SRB! Now on to Me
Whats been going on since my mammoth new years blog well first of all i have been resting my hands and then i have bought a netbook in a major upgrade of my life!
Its so light and has an unbelievable screen! Major thanks to my sister who helped me buy it by buying my laptop off me and thanks to ataf for buying it so i didnt have to wait for my loan to come through…
I spent my new years with mohsin and alfie and kashaf and manzar with the first three and i playing monopoly and manzar coming down to chill… Yep thats right i finished the decade playing monopoly woo hoo! I was still confined to my house at the time plus normally we dont do anything on new years. New years is a time to chill for us barlickers normally. I still remember the infamous 2006 new years with asjad sadif and mohsin with a special guest phone appearance by ibrar if i remember correctly. It was amazing but all we did is just chill!!! Anyhoo on New years day me mohsin alfie manzar and sadif went on a legendary walk to fouldridge and back… Was a pretty good and pretty cold walk and we were all so tired it was unbelievable! Then after that we went to shimlas and went for sheesha (the reason for why we are so unhealthy). I am no longer a smoker but am partial to the places and the places we went to was alright in bradford…
Then on sunday something terrible happened in the FA Cup and we had another monopoly sessionfollowed by watching the jason manford stand up dvd… It was pretty funny but didnt hide the fact that it was a terrible day
Now this week i have been cleared to rejoin society but have been snowed in lol ironically! I will be returning to work on friday and i cant wait to get out of the house!!! I have an appointment with a specialist on tuesday and uni work to hand in on monday so these next few days are going to be pretty hectic!!! I have to admit aswell i did stay awake to watch bret hart come back on raw… the kid inside me couldnt resist… it was toooooooo much!!!!!!! it reminded me of a time when wwf was the shit and life was all about smelling what the rock is cooking and delivering the sweet chin music… THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!I have been listening to music again for the first time in a while and am really buzzing of Daniel Merriweather if you dont know him you need his album. If you dont believe me listen to his song Red (you’ll probably have already heard it). I am loving that song at the moment and i am also in love with Kramer at the moment!!! HES TOOOO MUCH!!!!! Btw if you couldnt tell im procasinating from doing my human factors… if only essays were as easy as blogs!!! life would be so much simpler!!! I am so sick of uni right now its unbelievable… i cant wait to finish uni!!!

Unfortunately not in the g
hetto slang way… I havent blogged in a while for reasons you may or may not now… I kinda think no one would have really noticed if im honest… i dont dare look at how many people actually view this site… I think its cause if i did i would see how its only sadif who actually reads this!
So this blog is all about how i have been ill and its pretty crap to be honest… just warning you! Its not really that good. I am watching dexter season ending whilst writing this… DEXTER IS TOO MUCH ! By the way after hearing reports that people dont think the mentalist is good. THEY ARE WRONG the mentalist rules. Patrick Jane is toooooo much. Also i must add this christmas we have been having mammoth monopoly sessions with the BB18 Crew. Kashaf absolutely battered me and amz on the first unofficial night. Then on the first official night kashaf won and destroyed amz again. In the second round Mohsin won and the third round Ibrar destroyed us all! I decided to put monopoly as the small picture just because of how awesome that game is!!!
So what happened in the life of Tariq. Tariq’s life went badly i must say from the last blog. What happened unfortunately was that i had a reoccurence of whatever the illness i had earlier… I ended up getting really ill on the thursday i went home… Then on friday(4th december) i got worse and saturday(5th december) it was worse and i ended up getting sent home from work… and that led me down a very crap road which i wont go into too much detail into! believe me you dont want to know… Then i went to burnley hospital and that doctor was by far the worst doctor i have ever seen. If you are a pakistani and you see a pakistani doctor they automatically assume you are a dick! I got misdiagnosed there big time and he was so arrogant and rude…
Then i went to see doctor kenny and he sent me to blackburn hospital. I spent the night there(which was the worst night of my life… no young person should be in where the nurses and the main doctors were both really good and actually seemed like they knew what they were doing… The young doctors were okay but i think there workload was very large… i can see where they were coming from… Basically i was in a lot of pain them days… then i got out and had to go back to manchester to hand in my uni work… But i was okay on thursday friday i had a legendary scrabble session with sadif and kept losing to ataf in the days after!!!(10th and 11th) then on saturday(12th) after finishing most of my work i chilled with mohsin and watched united lose to villa!
Im going to take a break from my sick blog for something else which is making me sick. MANCHESTER UNITED’S ATTACKING PERFORMANCE!!! i understand the defence thing and i think against fulham we just underestimated them by thinking we could do the old 3 at the back like we did against wolfsburg… But how piss poor are united at going forward… so one dimensional!!! I mean i know selling cristiano ronaldo will make a massive difference but how can we go from scoring from pretty much any where to not even being able to score at all! I mean united’s defence will come back and we will be okay in that sense… But something needs to change big time to get the goals we need in order to win the title!!!
Now back to the sick blog, then on sunday (13th) i was really ill luckily the manchester crew all helped me out to keep motivated and help me get through doing the work! Then on monday night i was in agony and on tuesday i was in agony i went to see dr grimes and he said that i had the Crohns Disease. Click on the link for more information about that. He said it was 80% definate and we will be working under that assumption. He gave me roids again and then move onto the next meds in january. I started feeling better on the roids and it helped me a lot after a couple of days of pain i got back to a degree of normality.
Then i got to today. I confirmed that i was back at work this sunday and Dr Kenny rang me up and said my x ray showed up saying there are things on the xray are looking suspiciously like Tuberculosis. Click on the link for more information about that. Yet if your a close member of our family you probably know all about that. So now i have had to cancel my day back at work and am in quarantine for the next two weeks so now im back to 50/50 in whether its crohns or tb… Not the healthiest of person i am at the moment!!!
So what else is new in my life… Apart from that i have been resting and eating and getting myself better… I handed in my work whilst being ill and did the whole mitigating circumstances form thing but i think that i did my work to an ok level and im glad the group work i had to do didnt get let down by my work!!! I am too tired to continue! i shall leave it for another day… now inshallah i shall try to update more regularly but ill be honest i was a little down in the dumps with how i was but now i am trying to look at a more positive way of life! I really didnt wanna write this but i just felt i had to in order to move along… Now onto more cheerier blogs in the future!!!

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.

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.

Its been a week and i havent blogged… this was not out of forgetfulness or anything like that… You see i have been meaning to do this blog but i havent got a suitable picture to put in the heading thing cause i lost all my pictures when my laptop got broken i lost all data and i cant get the pictures of anyone else… Its a bit of a crap thing going down… i need to get it off asjad but his laptop is also broken…
So whats been going down… Life has been pretty good.. Been buzzing of the manchester crew… Have been chilling with the SRB boys(asjad, ibrar, muddy, talal and zahid). You cant beat Schuster road its actually toooooooooooo much… Also uni has been okay but need to get cracking on final year project. Need to start doing academic reading its just so boring…
Work has been okay but i was ill today cause mohsin was ill yesterday and he gave me his illness whilst watching united… felt a bit better today so i went to work… work was alright too… proper chilled in the afternoon and didnt do any work… i was buzzing cause all i did was drink tea with gareth and listen to music of my phone…
THEN ON THAT SUNDAY IT ALL KICKED OFF
i was going to post this on the sunday… then ibrar ran into my room and said mohsin has left his facebook on… This is relevent cause last year mohsin raped my facebook and destroyed it… so this was revenge and i had muddy ibrar and asjad… i added him in groups and was sending funny messages to some people then got busted before i could really destroy it… Then mohsin came to our house… and he locked himself in my room and then forgot to unlock the room as he left and someone shut the door meaning on sunday i had to sleep on the sofa without a phone any other clothes no wallet no nothing … worst sleep of my life seriously!!!!!!
i couldnt leave the house until the landlady got there the next day and she came at half 1 and it took 20 minutes to get in… it took ages… Then on tuesday i went to uni and cained some DMERM work and today i have been working on my final year project… need to get cracking on the reading of that… not looking forward to resuming after my blogging break…. had breakfast at ambala today with talal aka tali!!! naughty cup of tea… Also bought chantelles birthday present… Chantelles birthday bonanza will be going down tomorrow… Oh yeah and started my healthy eating routine in a big way… eating a banana right now… 5 a day is the future!!!
I have new found respect for Twitter… its alright ya know… i am starting to prefer it to facebook… i rarely go on facebook nowadays… twitter is the future! Watched united last night was very frustrated with the performance need a massive improvement to beat chelsea… need a big performance to get a result at the bridge!!! Going to watch liverpool tonight aswell… looking forward to that… should be an awesome game!!! well hope lyon win…

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.
