Football-based tomfoolery

Oh, dearie me.

Me and the missus were watching Manchester City's demolition of Birmingham City last night - whooping triumphantly at the 4-1 drubbing handed out. We liked it so much, we watched it a second time on Match of the Day on BBC1.

During the post-match interview (click here to read the match report and for a link to the interview), Manchester City manager Stuart Pearce spoke glowingly of the rather fantastic youth policy that the club has these days, saying that he was always willing to give youth a chance. He then rather cheekily put out a plea for young players to join City; urging them (slightly tongue-in-cheek) to "write in, if you will". The following conversation ensued:

Mrs Sp3ccylad: I should write in. I could play for City.
Sp3ccylad: You should. Draw a picture as well. I dare you.

Never dare Mrs Sp3ccylad. It always ends in tears.

So, write in she did. The letter and picture are below (clicking ensures massivity). If we get a reply, I will post that too. We possibly have too much time on our hands.
