Thun-derstruck!

Ok so I’ve been back at my desk in the Sexy Football Office for 4 days. This evening is the second leg of that game I went to last week. And I am looking forward to it.

Last week, however,  was a rather odd trip.

It cost everyone on the coach £149 which, fair do’s is quite cheap.

But:

Last week I said “there wasn’t much sexy about sitting on a bus with a load of  hairy arsed blokes”.

I was wrong to use the word “much”. There is nothing whatsoever, remotely entertaining about sitting on a bus for two days.

We were late there. The coach was cramped, it was hot, then when they put the Air Con it was cold. Because we were late there we were late leaving and missed the ferry back to England – meaning we got stuck in the Friday afternoon traffic, the M1 was closed and it was the V Festival so the M6 was bad.

It wouldn’t be right of me to name the coach company that we had foisted on us….we are after all a football price comparison site, not a coach travel one, but I will happily give you a clue…if you were regal and wanted to get a boat over the Channel to France, might you get a Kings Ferry….?

So we at Sexy Football learnt a good lesson. Just because something is cheap doesn’t make it value for money. That trip was overpriced , it would have been for £50, let alone £150.

It is something we will remember moving forward as we continue our quest to make sure you aren’t ripped off by 5 and 6 a side football providers.

But in the spirit of every cloud having a silver lining it needs to be said here that Thun itself was lovely, the people superbly friendly, the game good (and we won!) and the women were…..well….sexy….trust me!

Oh and last week I said I had loads of magazines….well most of the travelling was overnight so that didn’t work…and the screen lock on my ipod didn’t lock the Fast Forward Button so I lost battery….

Anyone would think Stoke fans weren’t used to travelling to Europe!

Ps…the coach drivers didn’t get a whip round.

Sexy In Europe - Or Not

Sexy Football is going on a European Tour today.

Well at least one of us in the office is.

I am getting on a coach with a lot of other fans and going to the second round of the Europa Cup.

To be totally honest, there isn’t a great deal sexy about sitting with a lot of hairy arsed blokes but it does prove two things.

That football supporters are mad (the damn trip involves approximately 34 hours on a bus over 2 days) for 90 minutes of action but secondly that we are tight. The bus trip, not surprisingly half the price of the one that involves an aeroplane.

So we at Sexy Football knew we were onto a winner when we decided to come up with this price comparison site.

Football supporters are also football players and they don’t want to get ripped off by unscrupulous companies who promise everything and don’t deliver.

We love our football, that is true, but don’t mess us about – that’s the message and its our ethos here too.

Anyway if anyone’s got any suggestions on how to spend 40 hours of the next 48 on a coach then do me a favour and let me know.

Because an Ipod with 18,000 songs on and about five heavy metal magazines probably isn’t the most exciting way to do it.

See, not only are we sexy, passionate about football, and mad on saving money, but we are pretty boring as well!

Auf wiedersehen!

Sports Finds A Way To Cheer You Up

It’s been a pretty rubbish week, lets be honest. Even we at Sexy Football have found it hard to be cheerful

The worst rioting we’ve seen in this country for years, the world’s economy in meltdown, and there is more bad news than you can possibly cram in.

So, not a lot to be cheerful about, really, is there?

Well, sport, as usual found a way to cheer us up. And even in a way Lorriane Kelly couldn't.

England are the best cricket team in the world (I am typing this with the Test Match on in the Sexy Football office and we are destroying India) Stoke are in the Europa Cup play off (in fact, this morning I bought a ticket for the away game next week) and the football season has started/is starting tomorrow (depending on whether you support a Premier League or Championship side.

And finally, for those that have been following these things on the blog, Iron Maiden were superb in both the shows I saw – Birmingham probably shading Nottingham.

In short, there’s never been a better time to play football. You need something to take your mind off these crazy dates. And a good bout of Sexy time in a 5 or 6 a side league might just help.

Especially if its cheap.

Remember, whatever happens in the outside world, Sexy Football are looking out for you.

When we aren’t watching the cricket of course.

Its 651-6 by the way. Come on Straussy declare, lets get these in tonight.
