Might be old, but I haven't seen it......
Monday June 07th We are on our way to Portugal, which is in Spain. Was
hoping Sir would come to wave me off but did not see him. He is still top of
my postcard list though. Phillip and me had seats near the back with Butty
and Ginger and sang United songs for most of the flight. Checked into our
hotel and found I am sharing with Phillip so "baggsyed" the top bunk.
Tuesday June 08th Did not sleep too well as Rooney is in the next room and
was kicking a ball against the wall until very late. Phillip says he smells
too. So read Sir's book for a bit and listened to Simply Red on my Walkman.
I was first down for breakfast as I am not shaving for the whole time we are
here. Gave Pongo a stare over my Ready Brek. :-(
Wednesday June 09th Training today. Mr Ericsson glanced at me twice. Think I
am one of his favourites. Collected all the bibs for him afterwards and
stayed for extra throw-in practice. Just made it in time for lunch. Phew!
Tried to sit next to Mr Ericsson but David had got there first and they were
both laughing. He has really changed since joining Spain. May take back my
Ladybird book of Dinosaurs I leant him. Top lip feels like fine sandpaper
Thursday June 10th Sat round the pool for a bit (forgot armbands) and
watched some of the boys playing water volleyball. Pongo did a wee-wee in
the deep end. May tell Mr Ericsson. Sent some postcards. One to Mum, four to
Sir.
Friday June 11th Feeling homesick this morning and cried a bit before going
to breakfast. Mr Ericsson made us all eat Rollmops but I left mine as they
looked yuk. Luckily Mum had put a Kellogs Variety pack in my case so was
able to have some Honey Pops back in the room.
Had pillow fight with Phillip and some feathers got stuck on my top lip.
High Five!! Wanted to hand bibs out at training but Creepy Coley got there
before me. Banged my fists on the ground twice. I know what room he is in.
Watched the two Spanish sides in action today, Portugal played first and
lost to Grease, ha, then Spain played Russia (which is in China so I don't
understand how they qualified) and at half time I drew a picture of Old
Trafford to put in our room. David clapped when Spain scored. Think he may
be spying for them. Wrote note to put under Mr Ericsson's door.
Saturday June 12th Match day. We are playing the Arsenal. Roll Mops for
breakfast again. Uuurgh! Still got 2 coco pops, and a honey nut loops left
though. May ring Mum and get her to send some more out. Mr Ericsson picked
me for today's game and I was number two on the list behind Nancy boy James.
Don't even know how he gets in the squad playing for Man City. PM:
:-----( Had to stand next to Pongo in the line-up so did not sing
anthem as was holding my breath. Saw David kissing Zidane in the tunnel. He
will do anything to get in the papers. May tell Sticky. I did a handball in
the first half and got away with it. Ha. Baldy Bartez saved David's penalty
so was glad he got a nosebleed later on
Gave Scouse boy Stephanie a glare for passing to Henry at the end. Asked
David why he didn't go and kiss Zidane when he scored. He flicked me on the
ear so will report him later to Mr Ericsson. Man Utd could've won this game
7-0. Checked top lip in bathroom mirror. Grade 2 sandpaper.Stayed in room
all evening and wept myself to sleep.
Sunday June 12th Got talking to a waiter in the hotel bar. He is called
Miguel and has a fine Moustache. He says he will lend me his trimming
scissors.
Monday June 13th Spent morning looking for Miguel then went into the town
with Phillip to buy more postcards and some sweets. Cannot stop looking at
facial reflection in shop windows etc. I am beginning to feel like a real
man at last
Wednesday June 15th Heard Mr Ericsson telling David that Rollmops put hairs
on your chest. Saw interview of me on TV and wondered if Sir was watching
back home. Hope the sun does not bleach my manly tache. Saw Miguel and two
of his friends. They were laughing at me behind my back. I threw a fruit
bowl at them and ran into the lift. Banged my fist on the wall for ages.
Stuck in lift for a very long time. Sobbed then slept quite well.
Thursday June 16th We won we won we won we won.
Wanted to run and hug Pongo when he scored but had second thoughts. I played
dead well and set up Stephanie's goal too. Will definitely be interviewed
after this, so will mention Sir a few times. Butty and me waved Toblerone
bars from the coach window at the Swiss fans after the game Went to bed
late. Slept on back with Rollmop on top lip. Smell was bad but will be worth
it I suspect.
