Same old, Same old.  Do not know whether this is the FA cup final, or the Rugby world cup. Maybe, it is the tour de france,  going past Lance Armstrong will not be easy.  All that spin, we were always trained to hit topspin, they hit with so much, that is when it hits the racket: it drops dead to the ground.  Side, under, back top,happy out of this world spin, they use it all.  That is politics!  Only, a net separates us.

 

Sports and politics should never mix, as is known, we are in the same game at times.  The tantrums, swearing, and poor conduct, when your losing is part of it all. It does not take long to get to the playground level.  Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer  something went wrong there.  John Terry and Steve Gerrard, were in a arm wrestle pose, in a newspaper-Daily Mirror.  It is the semi-finals of Europe.

 

When Blair, Howard and Kennedy are playing, you can never tell whether it is singles, doubles, or 11 a side.  It will all depend on the public, they will vote, this is madness, no one would in his right mind, would let the fans, choose the team.  They would only choose their friends, and wonder why the team has gone down.  You need experts, in there. The Swing vote is crucial, these are people who look at them coming out of the helicopter, they wave, and say: " He is the man ".  When i take a swing, i want to hit a winner. As our NCL team captain mentioned: " Your ground strokes, are at, a very high level ". That is real spin!   I have seen grown men cry like babies on boths sides of the coin, in victory and defeat.  It means so much to them.  As Ken said: " Crying in your beer, I don't want that to happen to me, i want to be happy, and enjoying my beer, smiling, having fun, most of them out there are incapable of thinking at this level".

 

" i can beat you you, i know i can, i can do it, you don't stick a chance,run rings around you, i am moving in to adult hood now, that is the way, you know i can actually beat a professional player, in my mind i can do it ".  As john commented.  " You have a tummy, there's no way! " I replied.  "  No no, that is for show, i know, i can do it-winking ".  The difference between us, and politicians, is that we only wear a tracksuit.  The jungle is the same for both of us, we do not wear a tie.

 

Sir Alex Ferguson meets Tony Blair, it was on TV-he met the queen as well, " I am a loyal, man, committed 100% to my team, Man Utd, that is me, i am down that motor way for them, yes totally loyal, been doing it, for years ". As Dave proposed.  So Sports and Politics do mix, that is real spin.  Did you know that a ball cannot be hit flat, whether you kick,hit,bowl. or throw, pass it-the big four.  It always has some spin-according to science.  Bend it like Beckham, the politicians, do it all the time. They cannot hit, kick or throw straight......! If you asked them to take on the big four, or the other way round. No one, could tell, who won.  The real General Election is on July 6th 2005.  Book your tickets early.............!
