Chantal (my daughter) has always been an Arsenal fan.  Currently her
fave player is Cesc...I only mentioned the girls because I recall
Jen wanting it to be a coed game and they have more female fans
regularly in attendance than we do

Everybody should come out, playing or not.  We need atmosphere!!

I'll be there, with partial family, but I'm afraid I'll have to be part of the
cheering section,
owing to the fact that I'm an out-of-shape old man who's never played real
football before in
my life.

Did you confim me?  If we need some females I might convince my daughter and one
or
two of her team mates...they have potential college careers ahead of them so
everyone
would have to not be too overzealous (like SOME people were when we played in
Westlake)
because they're only 14.  Just a thought.

Okay - for this occasion - we're going without the keg. There is still
$5 per head playing fee. We're bringing as many supplies as possible -

I'm in as a defender/midfield.

Maybe it is, but I can't help it.

13 games left to play (not in order):

Arsenal home (6): Aston Villa, Blackburn, Everton, Liverpool, Middlesbrough,
Reading
Arsenal away (7): Birmingham, Bolton, Chelsea, Derby, Manure, Sunderland, Wigan

Chelsea home (7): Arsenal, Bolton, Derby, Liverpool, Manure, Middlesbrough,
Wigan
Chelsea away (6): Everton, Manchester City, Newcastle, Sunderland, Tottenham,
West Ham

Manure home (6): Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bolton, Liverpool, Manchester City, West
Ham
Manure away (7): Blackburn, Chelsea, Derby, Fulham, Middlesbrough, Newcastle,
Wigan

Games against the other Big Four notwithstanding, I think our schedule is a very
nice one. All
the better teams will be coming to our house, whereas Chelsea and Manure have
one or two
tricky away games.

What does everyone here think?

Count me in as well, I can play in an attacking midfield type role
as long as my legs will carry me.  Unfortunately I can't help kill
the keg because I have to drive to Houston after the festivities.  I
can bring some food though.

Here's what I know of right now.

We are looking at 11:30am kickoff on Zilker, Field #4. This is near
the rocks and there are BBQ pits in the vicinity. We may also have
a keg (or more) if there are enough participants and interest.
Bring your own food (& drinks if you're not interested in drinking
from the keg). We'll look at supplying utensils and BBQ gear if you
fancy having burgers or sausage, or something like that out there.
Personally, as long as the weather's good, I'm planning on bringing
out some venison sausage and will have some extra too.

Jens paid $100 for the field, so we're thinking maybe $5 a head to
play, with proceeds for any over that going to costs &/or charity.
I think there's also a suggestion to have people pay a donation for
drinking from the keg and putting that to charity.

If you're playing – or know specifically of others who will be
playing – please let me know is in and what your preferences are for
the event (& playing position).

Of course, we will wear red & white and they will wear blue.

Lanny is going to be the referee and we should keep him well fed and
lubricated.
