ANOOP

I am a Manchester United supporter and this is because they play good football.

I also quite like Barcelona as they have so many great players,

Petr Cech has to be my favourite player. He makes such fantastic saves.

I love football because it fun.

World Cup 2006 was disapointing because Brasil did not play to their best.

The thing I dislike about football is the refereeing. They make bad decisions.

This would be the thing I would change about the game too, make the refereeing better.

But the great thing about football has to be the skills, I think they look cool.

Being with the Freeflow Football Academy has helped my confidence. I am no loneger nervous playing in a full size goal.

If I could change something about school then I would make breaks and lunch breaks longer.

What I dislike about football is racism. I think its about people who can't handle difference.

The thing I hate about the world is vandalism. It just looks horrible.

I think music is important because it helps you get on with things.

I play the Saxophone, I think it sounds really cool.

The scariest thing I have experienced was when I ran off from my mum when I was young. I went back to find her and I couldn't. But thankfully she found me.

If I could change me, then I would want become smarter.

MANINDER

I support Man Utd because they always seem to play well.

Ronaldo is the most overrated player because he is over the hill and never fit.

Nigel Reo-Coker is the most underrated player in my opinion, he has improved so much.

The one thing I would change about football would to be making it more entertaining by encouraging individual skills.

I think football has a bad name because of racist supporters and I want to see this change.

But the great thing about Football is that it unites people worldwide as it is a beautiful game.

Being with the Freeflow football Academy has taught me how to be part of a team.  

The thing I would like to change about school is the facilities. I would like more PE facilities such as a swimming pool

What I dislike about the world is terrorist attacks - I'd like people to live in peace without violence. 

I have traveled to Corfu in Greece, Costal Del Sol in Spain and India. These were really enjoyable experiences as I met different and friendly people. In the future I would like to go California because of the sunshine.

I feel music is really important. Without music the world would be boring and we could not celebrate anything without music.

The scariest thing I have done is flying on an airplane. But I learnt not to be so scared next time.

HARPAL

I love football for many reasons such as it keeps you fit, it improves your teamwork skills but most of all, its fun.

Training and being with the Freeflow Football Academy has helped me in many ways. I am now fit and healthy, its taught me how to play within a team and it has helped me be a good sportsman.

I support Manchester United because I was influenced by my older brother.

I also like teams from abroad, especially Barcelona and Roma because they both play great attacking football. They keep the ball well, switch the play, they have players that are on the move, creating space for their team-mates.

Rio Ferdinand is my favourite player. I think he is good because he can play with the ball and is good at standing his man up. When he wants to he can also go forward well with the ball.

Frank Lampard is the most overrated player because everyone thinks he is good but all he can do is make good long passes.

Arsenal's Gilberto Silva though is the most underrated player. He does a lot of things for the Arsenal such as winning the ball, playing it simple and he can now score goals. I think he deserves more credit than he gets.

World Cup 2006 was quite boring because all of the great players and teams did not live up to their high standards.

One thing I would change about football is to introduce technology because a goal changes the whole course of a match and the referees do not always get the decisions correct.

My other hobbies include cricket, basketball, playing on the PS2 and the PC. I am also very interested in boxing.

There are many great things about football such as it teaches people about teamwork, it keeps people fit and it teaches people about fair play and good sportsmanship.

I love the film Rocky, as it is very exciting and it teaches people to never under estimate your opponent. My Wife and Kids is my favourite television programme because it is so funny.

Racism and terrorism is what I really dislike about the world. If I could change the world I would make sure that  there is no violence, no racism and no terrorist attacks.

I think music is great as you get to hear people from around the world and music relax people and cheer people up.

I have traveled to India and Norway. I enjoyed these holidays and also learnt many things such as there are many people in the world who are poor and do not have a home to live in. I would like to travel to America because there are lots of things to do and see over there.

The best time of my life so far was when we went to watch Argentina play Brasil at the Emirates Stadium. This was great as it was the first match i watched, and the game was superb with a great atmosphere.

JAG

I love football because its fun and it keeps you healthy.

The bad thing about football is that the referees never get the decision right.

Other sports I enjoy playing are basketball, cricket and pool.

Training with Freeflow has helped me with sports day because its made me fitter and mentally stronger.  

The things I dislike about the world is all the natural disasters and why do you have to pay to watch a football match.

My type of music is rap because I enjoy the beats. 

The one thing I would change about football is to use instant replays for fouls.

BALRAJ

I love football because it's fun, entertaining and helps my fitness. Football also enables me to play with my friends as a team.

I follow Man Ud because my favorite players are there. I also like Barcelona because they have many talented players and always play a fair game.

Wayne Rooney is my favorite player. For someone young he is entertaining and talented on the ball.

Didier Drogba for me is the most overrated player. Everyone makes him look brilliant with their comments when really he is only good. 

When watching World Cup 2006 I thought Argentina where going to win it as they clearly looked the strongest team.

The one thing I dislike about football is that I feel racism still happens in the game.

I like many sports (Basketball, Cricket, Rugby, Tennis and Badminton). I love sport as I like a challenge.

Freeflow has helped me with other sports such as Rugby.

If I could change school then I would scrap studying and just play football everyday.  

What bothers me about the world is all the poverty. Some people do not have the opportunity to play football or even do other things. If I had my way I would change the world so there are equal opportunities everywhere.

I have been to Spain and we played football there against Spanish teams. I learn't my strongest and weakest points in football with this experience. My family and I also have been to Italy and this was my best life experience yet, I saw Michelangelo and enjoyed the overlooking views of Florence.

I play the Dhol and its great for releasing anger and for coordination.

Probably the scariest thing I have done is lock my older sister in the cellar with the lights turned off after watching the Ring.

If I could change football then all I would request is for more people to get involved. 

If I could change myself then I would like to be more confident and adventurous at certain times.

My team: Manchester United

LIAM

I love football because its fun and it helps you meat new people.

I support Manchester United because they were the first team I ever knew. 

I also like Barcelona because they are a very freeflowing team.

My favourite player is Ronaldinho because you don’t know when he is going to use his tricks.

The 2006 World Cup was ok, but not as good as World Cup 2002.

I think when players crowd round the referee is bad for the game. They are pressuring the referee and this is not a nice way to treat people.

But I think the fans support in football is great because it keeps the players going.

My  hobbies include table tennis because the game is so fast.

The Simpson’s is my favourite television show because it is so funny.

What I dislike about the world is the internet because it may destroy are world.

The thing I would change about the world to keep it cleaner.

I have travelled to India. It was really nice because I got to see some of my family.

I would love to go to Spain because it has better weather than England. 

If I could change football then I would like to add technology to the game like on decisions such as wheather the ball went over the line or not.

The scariest thing that I have ever done is fallen in a pond when I was four and I couldn’t swim and that taught me to watch where you are walking.

My best experience in life so far would have to be playing my first football match.

My team: Manchester United

My team abroad: FC Barcelona

JASPAL

I love football because it is so fun and I enjoy playing the game.

I support Manchester United because I like the way they play and most of the time they play well. I also like FC Barcelona because of the way they play.

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is my favourite player because I like all of his skills.

Its the skills in the game that make football great for me. I find skill interesting. However the bad side of the game has to be racism.

Training with Freeflow has helped me because I get the opportunity to learn lots of new skills and I stay fit.

If I could change football then I would say get rid of the off-side rule so more goals can be scored.

One thing I would like to change about school is to have more breaks in between lessons.

What I dislike about the world is some of the animals that exist. But if I could change world I would want everyone on the planet to have the same amount of money.

I have only been abroad once and that was India. I learnt to live in a different place and different ways.

I would like to visit Brasil because I want to learn more about Brasil.

At school my faviroute subjects are PE, Art, Drama and Music. I find these subjects fun and we do not have to do a lot of writing. But I dislike Mathematics as it is boring and the teacher is lousy.

Away from football I also play Rugby, Swimming and Cricket. I find these sports fun too.

Bad Boys 2 is my favourite film and Eastenders is my favourite Television programme. I found Bad Boys 2 was funny and Eastenders always has a good storyline. 

The one thing I would change about myself is that I want to be a kinder person as sometimes I feel I can be selfish.

HARVINDER

I love football because its fun. All the other sports are boring. What makes the game great is when a player scores, they just scream with joy and passion.

Since I have been with Freeflow I have added more individual skill to my game to beat players.

I support Manchester United because my older cousin influenced me. I also like Brasil, Holland and Argentina as they play great football.

Brasil's Ronaldo is my favourite player. Simply because he is the all time top scorer in the World Cup. Riquelme has to be the most underrated player.

David Beckham on the other hand is the most overrated. His only good at crossing.

If I could change football then I would remove penalty shoot-outs. Because they should not decide a game.

The thing I dislike about this world is terrorism. Nobody should kill for no reason or any reason. If I could change the world then it would have to be global warming. So the world could go on living forever.

The only time I went abroad was to India. It was good but what I learnt was make sure you always take sunvcream.

I would like to travel to America so that I can have their big burgers.

Bhangra and Hip-Hop is my type of music. You can never get bored of the songs from these types of music. I also think music is important to the world and me. Music gives energy, happiness and without it life would be boring.

I also play an instrument, the Dhol. My uncle purchased me one and I just started playing ever since.

Watching the Exorcist was the scariest thing I have done. I will never watch it again.
