Team Ethics
Football in PE was, and probably still is, the best players picking the next best players and so on until you 'have' to pick the deadwood.

As a fairly ok player it was pretty good getting picked middle order cos it meant you werent percieved as wank at football, but the punishment for the slightest mistake was being screamed at. Also having to watch these "better" players not pass, shoot from anywhere and generally do what the fuck they liked slightly irked me and my mate.

After a bit discussion we decided to pick a team next week, which meant a shift in the football power base.....

As planned I picked my mate who was a mental good keeper then next pick picked my other mate and so on till we had an actual Team, not a bunch of individuals/strangers. We proceeded to win 3 of the 5 games that week with NONE of the "better" players on our side.

Strangely my mate bob would not play for us as he saw it embarrasing as we were not a fanciful team to play for, we were like a Stoke or Charlton, no real flair but a tendancy to thrash out wins against better teams. Anyways we won more games than we lost that year with the same thing every week, picking a Team and not nobheads who didnt pass. We remained unfancied every week but even had good players asking to get picked by us after a while :-O

Also....
The best man marking Ive ever seen to this day was when i told a very shy and timid friend called Ian to watch the best player in our half called Lee. Every time Ian was more than 5 yards from Lee i shouted at him, it resulted in him sticking to lee like glue and giving him the kicking off a lifetime, mainly due to his inability to tackle. Ian got a pat on the back off pretty much everyone for that, he was relentless, even Lee who was almost red with rage told me i was a bastard after that one and chuckled.


I loved PE :-/

Charlton?
When did they last win against a good side?

Charlton were relegated
They're nothing like Stoke. Monkeystrumpet doesn't seem to know about football, not that it matters really
