A Midweek Affair

This week there have been lots of stories in the news about footballers and the things that footballers do in their lives. I am a footballer, but the news hasn't reported what I have been doing this week. I like to stay out of the news because when I'm in the news I have to read about myself, which is a waste of time because I know all about myself anyway.

This week Wayne Rooney has been injured with a broken bone injury in his foot. He is like me in many ways in the fact that we are both from my home in Liverpool, although he doesn't live in my home, because that's where I live. He is also a striker who likes to get on the end of crosses and stick the ball in the back of the net and score a goal in the back of the net. This is the bossest thing ever because it means that you've scored a goal. When you score a goal in the back of the net it usually means that you get the winner. Sometimes it means that you get an equalizer and sometimes it means that you pull one back or get a consolation. I don't like getting consolation goals in the back of the net because you don't get a win bonus from gaffer.

I have broken a bone before. It was really painful and I felt terrible and worried and had my head in my hands. It was good to ride in an ambulance though, because I like ambulances. They are like transit vans that can go really fast and go through traffic lights when they aren't on green light or orange. When we got to the hospital the doctor asked me what had happened and I told him that I thought I had broken a bone and he said which one and I said my brother's leg bone. My dad wasn't very happy with me, but he just said that it showed that I like to do tackles and get stuck in and show committment to the cause and that.

Wayne Rooney got his broken bone in his foot injury because people said he wasn’t wearing the proper boots for doing and playing his football. This is dangerous and kids must be told that they should wear proper footballing boots at all times, apart from when they're not doing their football because it might ruin their mum and dad's carpet or scuff the floor at school. Wayne Rooney has this problem a lot because it has happened to him two times before. The second time it happened he made a full recovery because a Portugal player tried to sit in his foot to break it again, but he hurt himself instead.

This week we have had a midweek game, which is when you play your football not on a Saturday afternoon, sometime on Sunday or a Monday evening. You play it midweek under floodlights. We managed to not win the game, but we didn’t lose either so we had a draw. I didn’t manage to get on the scoresheet and knock one in, but nobody else did either, so that’s good for me. Hopefully I’ll get on the score sheet this weekend and get off of the mark.
