"Pukka Pies....Dont Compromise" (Unless Your Benni Mc Carthy)

Now I’m not saying the lovely folk at Upton Park cant knock up a good old pie or two but surely £80,000 worth of pies, sorry fines isnt worth the compromise for falling behind on a dead line to loose weight?

As if being dropped from the South African World Cup team wasnt enough, to add insult to injury poor old Benni Mc Carthy was slapped in the gut with this big fat fine for his recent weight gain.

JUNK IN THE TRUNK?

Mc Carthy was quoted saying, 'With my bone structure, body structure, if I don't train with intensity, I will get bigger" In other words the saying, "Im not fat Im just big boned" springs to mind.

He went on to say, "When you're injured, you can't train, and for three weeks I was told to stay off my feet, just come in for treatment (for a knee injury). I couldn't go in the gym. If I was on my feet, my knee would swell up". So basically what your saying Mc Carthy is as a trained athlete (as that pretty much is what a pro footballer should be) you instead chose to eat a lot of pies?

NO PIES IN THE MOUNTAINS

Once the South African striker realised if he carried on the way he did he could face loosing his career in pie eating, sorry professional football he deported himself to a specialist fitness clinic in Austria where he shed two stone and is now under the 85 kilograms (13st 4lbs) weight set by the medical staff to take him to the brink of a first team recall.

A friend said: "Benni regrets what has happened, but is keen to put it behind him now". Ah, good lad, you would have thought how ever the first fine would have been a good time to get down the gym. What a waste of money think what he could have done with £80, 000.


I THINK I MIGHT BE SICK

All I can say is from time to time we all gain a bit of baby fat, a vodka jelly belly (what Im currently nurturing), a beer belly, gut etc but as a professional footballer earning a very good wage surely he should know better.

GREAT SHAPE

Let’s hope Mc Carthy keeps the weight off and his career takes priority over the pies so he can get back to getting his leg over in true classy Mc Carthy style. I now feel like a right bitch for writting this, I love you really Mc Carthy.
