Football Stars With Mystic Megson

Last updated : 12 March 2009 By Anthony Carr

ABBOTAURUS

March 23rd - April 22nd

You've spent so much time looking up at the stars that you've failed to see the relegation black hole coming up to bite you on your keen, yet flabby bottom. Euphemisms have entered your orbit as the pressure mounts and it's a time for big decisions and for big men, honest shifts and a great team spirit. Oh God, you've even got Mystic Megson talking like you now! Luck comes in the number three. Points that is, not strikers on the bench.

DEFOIO

April 23rd - May 22nd

Who needs to be playing football to make the headlines? Hanging round with a gormless bint works for most footballers, but it hasn't worked for you. But don't worry, there's plenty more WAGS in the sea, usually in Benidorm or Magaluf. Why not try Lampard's ex? Or seduce one of the nurses helping you with your hurty toe? With your looks and money, but mostly your money, love is never far away.

DARLO

May 23rd - June 22nd

Oh dear. March is not looking like a good month down at the Reynolds Arena. As greedy Mars merges with feckless Mercury, you'll lose more points than you gain. But try to stay positive. This year, administration is the new black and you'll be in good company. Use it to make new friends (bailiffs), visit new places (the court) and experience new events such as bring-and-buy sales and charity auctions.

BARRA

June 23rd - July 22nd

It's nat gaan reet f'yus the noo, leek eh. Yon new moon's seen yus slippin' doon the table like a high speed screeve on a patch of icy clart. But divvent fret. Mystic Megson reckons you spawney gets'll just aboot survive, even though yus have as much talent as a Cleator Moor beauty contest. *

SPARKIES

July 23rd - Aug 22nd

You might find yourself in the firing line this month, but remember, you can't polish a turd. Some clubs are doomed to failure no matter how much money they spend so why not relax, have fun and continue the spending spree? Retail therapy's a great way to let off steam and maintain ambitions of grandeur. But be warned, all that glitters is not gold....what the hell, buy it anyway, it can't be any worse than what you've got.

DOBIES

Aug 23rd - Sep 22nd

Everyone finds their place eventually and yours is on the bench. Relax, put your feet up and enjoy the rest of the season from the comfort of the dug out. If you should be unfortunate enough to find yourself on the pitch, be sure to miss a sitter, that'll guarantee you become a sitter, not a runner, yourself.

KAVANAGHARIUS

Sep 23rd - Oct 22nd

The silver fox may be an endangered species, but weighing in with the odd goal is sure to prolong your survival, even if you've lost your killer instincts. Remember, football is 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration. You just focus on the 10% inspiration and let the others do the rest.

WENGERIES

Oct 23rd - Nov 22nd

For all their skill and flair, your players just don't seem to want to play in the Champions League next season. Perhaps it's because they feel they haven't seen enough of Britain yet. Why not treat them to a spell in the UEFA cup where they can visit some of the jewels of our great island. A year spent visiting the delights of Rhyl and Aberdeen will soon have them banging in the goals and desperate for another crack at the big time.

RONALDOS

Nov 23rd - Dec 22nd

Treating your women like your football will make you world player of the year off the pitch as well as on it. Remember, quality AND quantity are important and bagging five birds is just as much fun as bagging five goals. Dribbling around the box, shooting from distance and launching screamers are what you're good at, so try doing it on the pitch as well.

LAWRO

Dec 23rd - Jan 22nd

Hanging round with Alan Green is turning you into a bit of a moaning minnie. Try finding new friends and looking on the positive side a bit more often. Bullied? So you should be with that voice. How you get away with sounding camper than a row of tents at Mardi Gras is beyond me but fair play to you, you somehow pull it off. Just as long as that's all you're pulling off.

ROBINHOS

Jan 23rd - Feb 22nd

Mercury is strong in your chart this month, but it's weak on the thermometer which makes for a sulky samba. But don't let your creativity and ideas go to waste. If you can't use them on the pitch, use them in the travel agents. It must be time for another trip home by now.

SCOUSER

Feb 23rd - Mar 22nd

It's never easy being a Scouser but now, times are harder than ever. You've thrown away the league, your manager's lost the plot and, well, you live in Liverpool. But there is light at the end of the Mersey tunnel. Mystic Megson believes that in a few new moons, August will see you level on points with Man United once more. Only six months to go.
