A few Soccer/football jokes to amuse…
Posted by: | CommentsA little boy took his parents to court because he did not want to live with them anymore. The honored judge said to him “So why don’t you want to live with your dad?”
“Because he beats me” said the little boy.
“Why don’t you want to live with your mum then?” asked the judge.
Because she beats me as well.
“Oh” said the judge “Well who would you like to live with then?”
The little boy replied” I would like to live with Plymouth Argyle FC, because they don’t beat anyone!!”(Plymouth Argyle currently sit at the bottom of the football league – to our US readers!)
Apparently, when Harry Redknapp was West ham manager he offered to send the squad on an all expenses paid holiday to Florida but they declined. They’d rather go to Blackpool so they could see what it’s like to ride on an open-top bus.
Why do Hearts fans plant potatoes round the edge of Tynecastle?

Wayne Rooney – he’s a pretty good footballer as well!
Posted by: | CommentsWayne Rooney Motivational Quotes…
“I love playing football but I think I am like everyone else, I hate losing and love winning. And if the time comes when I am not disappointed when things are definitely not going right, then that’s when people should worry.”
If you look at my bookings, they’ve gone down each season. That’s something I’m trying to keep improving. On the pitch you don’t want any silly bookings.
Yeah I think so. I saw the ball come in the box and I thought why not. I tried to get in a good position from when Nani crossed it. Nine times out of 10 they go over the crossbar or wide. I tried it and thankfully it’s gone in the top corner. You don’t have time to think about what you’re gonna do. It’s the first one since I started playing professionally so I’m delighted, especially as it has given us three points.
— Wayne Rooney saying his overhead goal against City in the Premier League was the best in his career
I’m playing a lot better since I had my hair transplant – I feel like a new man. But I won’t be heading any goals until the transplant has taken properly.(Not a Wayne Rooney quote – I made this one up!)

Cartoon – Commitment to Success!
Posted by: | CommentsI’m just as committed to cartooning as this guy is to footballing…
Here are a few of my favourite ‘Commitment’ quotes…

What do you think – is he the greatest EVER player?

I decided to make a new episode but with a deeper meaning, with the help of some quotes its all gud, i used soem quotes from the internet an wrote some on ma own(like the first two) enjoy:) The Premier League (officially known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons, colloquially known as The Premiership), is an English professional league for football clubs.
