GREETINGS of PEACE to YOU
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share
John Lennon
Well people how yer all doing? Good I hope.
A MODERN WORLD
Silverheels has today moved into the urban jungle from my paradise of the forests and the plains. I got a sponsorship deal from Carlsberg and they invited me here to New York which is where I am writing to you from. I wondered whether it was the right thing to do but Progress is a tantalizing mistress and I decided that I could take the message of the Elders to more people.
Overhear the yanks call Football soccer and let girls play and forward passing Rugby they call Football and wear body arm our. Its a strange place indeed. I also met David Beckham out here. He was with the mad scientologist and cradle snatcher Tom Cruise. Becks sends his best to everyone at CLUB HEAT especially to CEO Mark whom he says he looks like, (hair, tattoos and taste in Women) and respects immensely.
That Friday Feeling.
Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
ANOTHER TEAM TO HIDE FROM
So the much maligned and everyone's most hated team The Mean Mad Meanie Meanie Machine And the Ugly sisters of SWEDEN have secured promotion to the PREMIERSHIP at CLUB HEAT. While they may be cook-a-hoop and bashing less able opponents around their misjudged love handles the Gods of Karma are possibly laying cosily and knowingly in wait for them. Success breeds both confidence and belief and as in the quote above, ‘doing it right first time’ is its own reward. However, what of next season? Will the Gods of Football hasten them out of the airplane without a parachute. Will there be a millionaire to fund their step-up to the Big Division. And will there metronomic and efficient style be enough to get them safe passage through the sphincter of pressure that is the Adult League. Success can come to early for some.
SOME BAD EXAMPLES FOR SWEDEN AND MEANIES-DON’T TRY THIS
Take George Best, Gazza for example, or Derby County in last seasons Prem or in the world of business The THE GLOBE.COM, which was one of the very first online community apps similar to FACEBOOK etc, which back in ‘98 two young guys created and put up on the stock exchange: The offer price was $9, but the stock opened at $87, rose to a high of $97, before closing the day at $63.50. This was the largest first-day gain of any IPO <http://www.news.com/2100-1023-217913.html> (initial public offering) to date. Just two years later, the stock was trading at 53 cents and was delisted from the Nasdaq <http://www.thestandard.com/theglobe-starts-crumble>. What was the reason? listen to their own explanation: “Simply put, we were 10 years too early,” Paternot tells The Standard. “It was a time when the market was over saturated with competition.”
So, will the rise of Bean Meanie Machine be a step to far-too soon? Does the standard in the CLUB HEAT PREMIERSHIP make it less or more likely for a promoted team to survive. Certainly, both ALZIHEMERS WONDERERS and DIZZY HOOT HOOT have both found the step difficult and look like falling back through the void into Never never land. FC your mummies boys on the other hand have more than held their own (which i am told they do frequently).
But as they say, Only time will tell what will be the fate of this years Summer Bloomers, but like a Bear waking up in mid winter from a lovely snooze or a Porn Star with an ejaculation problem its best to get your timing right and not to rush a good thing.
BIG GAME HUNTING IN CV1
EXCELSIOR had somewhat of a renaissance this week putting to bed rumors that they had lost the will and the way to win. It was their sheer desire that carried them bravely over the threshold to leave Bridesmaid F C YER NOT UP FOR A BATTLE crying at the altar. In a high tempo and no holds barred game MUM looked like she was dishing out the tea and the Bed time Stories. Naughty boys EXCELSIOR however refused to come in and increased the pressure to boiling point. Interestingly, like a canny chess player they sacrificed one of their own action men for MUMS broom and dish pan scrubber. The result was that they both saw the bench with EXCELSIOR bad BOY seeing red and MUMMYS BOY yellow. Even with a one man advantage MUM couldn't tuck them up tight and EXCELSIOR proved that when the going gets tough there is no-one tougher. So out of the bedroom window they hopped to score crack and look at porn mags in their secret den.
LIONS IN THE HEDGEROW
MILLERS where oh where has your season gone APPEAL, like EXCELSIOR also found themselves on the plane to Disney Land Florida with a convincing win over title defenders and champions elect SOMETHING HAD BETTER CHANGE OR ELSE. Despite going a goal down the MILLERS played to a consistently high standard and looked good value for the money. Everyone had a good game and some excellent moves were finished with skill and dexterity that is needed to beat a team of the quality of SE. The relief when Mr Quinn hit the 6th Goal viciously down MATTY GEES throat to almost burst the 70s style net shopping bag was palpable with only 3 minutes to play and 3 goals to the good and in control they started to celebrate.
SOMETHING ELSE HAS HAPPEND
Where now for SE. Although sure to finish 2nd they will find this looking back that this has been a hard season. No longer rolling teams over week in and week out it has been a campaign that ultimately must leave a distasteful odour in the mouth not unlike Christiano Ronaldo waking up to find that the great idea he had re a good time turned out to be 3 Transvestites with bad breath and trumpy bums and shaving bits on the sink and no breakfast. Ultimately it will be BOYS TO MEN SKA and REGGAE band that they will be most disappointed about not beating.
BACK END OF A HORSE.
In a remake of the Barclays prem DIZZYS, RSVP, WONDERERS AND MOZZIES are all fighting for Premiership survival at CLUB HEAT. Mozzies certainly have the caliber to escape and DIZZYS despite having a talented and hard working side look doomed due to a lack of organisation in their side. Between LOVE LETTER BOYS RSVP and SAGA UNITED it will be a close run thing. Both have had better recent form and both have the ability to perform better. WONDERERS have the tactical nounce and the firepower but RSVP have the shaven legs (very nice ones too) but with games running out it looks like new comers RSVP may just snatch the last place at the festival and consign WONDERERS to another drop through what is left of the ozone into the smoggie filth of Division 1
PSYCHOLOGY CORNER
Sit down I say. Sit down. Walkies. Heel. Come on. Fetch. Sometimes life can be a little like being a dog with everyone trying to train you in their way.
Illusion of control is the tendency for human beings to believe they can control or at least influence outcomes that they demonstrably have no influence over.
In a series of experiments, it was demonstrated firstly the prevalence of the illusion of control and second, that people were more likely to behave as if they could exercise control in a chance situation where 'skill cue's were present.
By skill cues, Langer meant properties of the situation more normally associated with the exercise of skill, in particular the exercise of choice, competition, familiarity with the stimulus and involvement in decisions.
AT THE CASINO
One simple form of this fallacy is found in casinos: when rolling dice in craps, it has been shown that people tend to throw harder for high numbers and softer for low number.
IT’S A KNOCK OUT
Another example is ritual or superstition or taking a penalty a certain way. While it may be demonstrated that hitting the ball in a certain area of the goal may achieve more success on average than striking the ball to another area it is an illusion because you have no way of knowing where the keeper will go or if you do, you still might slip ala John Terry style. Of course some people will think that can be controlled to.
Interestingly individuals who have a high degree of success in life are more susceptible to believing they can control things. This is probably why bullies go from strength to strength until they are challenged.
So the next time you are being controlled or trained by another just remember that its an illusion that you can stop. Just like BOYS WATCH YER BACKS might think they are in charge of every game the day will come when they wont be; Another illusion of control. And just like you feel your skill and competitiveness may be winning you the day just remember that it could be an illusion and something altogether different is happening. It may have nothing to do with you at all.
SILVERHEELS is just an illusion
