Soccer in the common room??? How is that a good idea? Dents in the wall, a hole in the lampshade, tables turned over… you people are terrible. It’s taken me two hours to fill out all the paperwork about your stupid idea. Can’t you be more like the Quiet Guy who never leaves his room and NEVER causes problems?
And to not even tell me you’re gonna play? I am a champion soccer player! And by that, I of course mean “I have watched David Beckham a lot”. But still!
Next time, let’s all play and then I can keep you from getting in trouble.

Trivia[]
- The original post had an image attached. However, it was not preserved by the Wayback Machine and can be assumed lost.
- The original post had a winking emoticon above Robin's signature.
- Interestingly, the title uses the European term for the sport, "football", but within the post, Robin calls it by its American name "soccer".
- Second mention of Quiet Guy, who Robin noticeably credits as "never causing problems".
- Robin refers to star English footballer David Beckham, implying she has a crush on him. Beckham was still an active player in 2008 - 2009, and retired in 2013.
