Key word searches that have led people into our blog

- Most of the other Div 7 teams keeping tabs - led by those pesky Sealord kiddies. Who are probably also responsible for the next few key word searches ...
- Big clits and stallions
- chocolate stallion
- pony boots
- Stallion party pill
- greek stalions sweden
- shall i go to dubai
- sentence for stallion
- stallions names
- watch me the stallion
- Good Laika

All those people disappointed when they hit our blog, Robin disappointed that when people search for his band they find us.

The Dominican Republic, China and Vietnam provide our 22nd, 23rd and 24th countries. South America is the only continent holding out on us.

Give em a taste!

There have been a few blog benefits from Euro 2008 - mainly lots of posting from Rauru which has given me time to dwell on picks. Also, it has opened up the blog to new visitors from competing countries keen to check out how their teams are getting on and unfortunately hitting our page.

So this week, in order of most hits, we have had visits from: France, Netherlands, Austria, Germany and Sweden. What they must think of our bs picks made from half a world away from a country that ummm doesn't have the greatest history in the game.

So just to give something back to these international visitors, here is the classic photograph of our all conquering 1981 world cup squad - well, world conquering in the New Zealand football sense of the word. Yes, even today's atrocious Austrian team would beat us, but the moustaches and perms must be admired.

Now, no doubt Ben H has a story to tell about watching this team while he and the next door neighbour discovered themselves - bring on the reminiscences old man. Or retell your rugby world cup one - we need more fine money.

Is that Nick W front row second from left, and Corey front row second from right?

Welcome, new visitors to the Stallions blog ...

From Bulgaria, Turkey and South Africa (the last 2 came through just today). The world must have heard about Paddy's terrible dive on Saturday ...

Stallions Inter

In its 5 or so weeks of operation, our blog has been accessed in some interesting places. Sure, while a lot of this can be put down to the globe trotting adventures of Rauru and Nick W, its a sure sign of stallions going international.

We have been visited from the following places:

UK: London, Edinburgh, Barnsley, Holmfrth, Lambeth
Spain: Barcelona, San Sebastian, Palma de Mallorca, Urnieta
Greece: Athens
Sweden: Danderyd
US: Minnesota, Oregon, Seattle
Canada: Toronto
France: Nice

Danderyd represent.

One things for sure, we need to develop a type of football to appeal to the under represented African and Asian nations. Sad to know that are millions of people in China who have never heard of the Hodges toehack. Nick, work out a strategy.

From the suitcase - Blog Week 1

1 week in and the stallions are taking to the blog - a total of 168 hits from 23 unique visitors (some are clearly using home and work computers). A week high 43 hits the day Nick released his tactics shows everyone is fired up for the season.

So people are checking in on an almost daily basis. In order of usage our visitors hail from Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua, London, Auckland (Will? Glen?) and Edinburgh (dirty Lachlan - strangely the same day we had this hit, I was nominated in the younger sister poll, talk about a revenge vote!). We need some more international hits - Nick will have to check results while tripping around. Also thanks to the IRD, which gives us the most hits from a single institution.

As for our initial polls there are some clear 'winners'. The Stallions hate old, grumpy Olympic more than any other team, and poor old Jules is clearly the least trustworthy with drunk younger sisters.

I am thinking of changing my vote to Robin though - especially since one Good Laika song is about upstart brats turning into seductive, dirty little whores - there is more to that man than three-quarter pants. But ultimately it is hard to beat Jules. I was thinking of another poll about which stallion would you not trust with your drunk grandma, but Jules would clean up again.

Lets try this best goal of last season poll. There are a few nominations (a couple via email) so lets see - I can't remember many of these, but maybe the rest of you can. Perhaps scoring goals helps the memory ...
