Spartan glory, take 2

With pre-season training in full swing the24s blog lead writer and part-time midget striptease instructor, Toobob Curry Face, spoke to Capn Rob in this the24s One on One Exclusive earlier today.

Toobob Curry Face: Hi Capn Rob, great to meet up with you here in the parking lot outside of Blue Route, training camp of the red24 Spartans.

Capn Rob: Am I still being paid for this?

TCF: Yea, don't worry usual fee, 12 KFC McNuggets. Back to the team the first half of the season was average by no means, in fact it was downright amazingly poor. What do you put that down too.

CR: Opinion. We played with gutso and blitso and gave more than 30% in each game. In fact our brand of footie has stirred Bonnie Tyler to release a new album "I need a hero hotdog".

TCF: But some would say that despite the adoration of ageing 80s mega rock singer and super fine Tyler, the team have failed to attract the fans and sponsors?

CR: Stats alone prove that this is in fact the opposite of falseness and truth and by simply implying the corrollary of the theory that mind over matter depends on how much you dont mind I think we have shown we have done enough to please the fans. In fact our style aint nothing but a thing.

TCF: They don't script poetic sports prose like that anymore ladies and gentleman... So Capn tell us, the readers and followers of the red24 Spartans, what do you have in store for us for the new season, which begins this Thursday at 19:10 at the Stadium of Light, Claremont?

CR: Well TooFace Curry Breathe, we basically want to score as many runs as possible and then put the opposition under great pressure with our awesome fielding. At the end of the day runs on the board will pressure the enemy into mistakes...

TCF: Excuse me but isn't that cricket?

CR: Listen mate I'm the expert here.

TCF: Sure. Um, well, another enlightening interview. Thank you Capn for joining us on the24s One on One Exclusive. For those at home a full podcast is available for download by clicking the adverts along the side of the blog....
