Top 3 Beer mates this week

I spoke about this on my first post for the site, so here it is, the first beer mates. Basically its a post where we (I in this case cause I couldn't reach anyone) see which 3 professional footballers would be best for a night out. Let's hope this catches on and continues.

3. Wayne Rooney

Only gets the mention because you know that when you go to party with Wayne, its not just going to be a couple of quiet drinks. This shit is going to take off like the Hangover, I mean you will wake up in Jail with a hooker cuffed to you and a headache so big you'll wish you would have never gone in the first place. Just hope that he doesn't forget to pay your bail. that said it will be eventful, and look at the bright side, when you finally drop him off to training 2 hours late, I'm sure Fergie will be delighted and will offer you his gum for your bad breath.



2.Gerard Pique

Simply because judging by all the Youtube Videos he seems like a fun guy to hang around, joking with Abidal and sending regards from the pitch after scoring. It pains me to say as a German but it would be cool to have a drink with a World champion too. Let's be honest here for a second we all love that Spanish accent when they speak English, so Pique your on the list especially if you keep doing stuff like this:

just remember not to bring Shakira! I'm serious.

1. Rafael Benitez

While not technically a footballer, you know you would be in for a treat with Rafa. Granted it wont be the most exiting night, but it would definitely be a great night and some great conversation. What really pushed me to include Rafa today was this Video for the Hillsborough memorial, which Rafa attended, and you could see that he attended because he wanted to be there and not because someone had asked him to come. Honesty goes a long way and sometimes we forget real emotions in the whole football business.

Eric Abidal Accusing Pique of handball

For those of you that didn't know Eric Abidal had an operation to remove a tumor from his liver, the operation was successful and he is now back at training with Barcelona. While he was away Gerald Pique scored a goal against Villareal which he dedicated to his teammate Abidal, nice guy huh. You and I would probably have tears in our eyes if a teammate dedicated a goal for us while we are sick (that is assuming that your teammates do score...) not so Abidal though, first thing he does is walk over and (jokingly, judging by the facial expressions) accuses Pique of Handball. The amazing thing is, if you watch the video of the goal, you could say there was a handball but there wasn't Pique controlled the ball amazingly, which makes the heckling by Abidal even better. Not too sure who shot that ball at the end of the short clip, but my guess is that him and Pique are BFF's and he/she (Shakira what are you doing at training?!) wasn't having Abidals jabbering. Just another proof to show you that footballers aren't all arrogant and self obsessed A**... (no let's keep the first post of this new blog clean, we can slip into our ways later on) and definitely put Abidal and Pique far up on my "I think that guy would be a good Bar buddy" Ranking, perhaps we should have a Top Ten Bar buddy ranking every fortnight (Just saying).
