I HOPE YOU BRING YOUR CAMERA, TO PHOTOGRAPH MY TEARS
Well, it had to happen, didn’t it? The classic top vs. bottom encounter between You Know Your Boston Rock FC and York’s Returning Glory ended up in the first win of the season for Julian’s team, a 3-2 win thanks to a Diomansy Kamara goal, along with El Karkouri and Young strikes, breaking Boston Rock hearts. This knocked “The Sky Heroes” off the top and, of course, won Julian the POTW half a million. Well done Julian (grrrr)…
York’s stay bottom, however, as the Groove Machine also won, 3-0 over San Dimas with a Paul Dickov double. The Groovers, however, stay 15th as Mega Bucks also won, Finnan and Clement strikes giving them a 2-0 win over Real Muppets. Dave moves up a place at the expense of his dear lady wife, after the girly pillowfight between Final Fantasy XI and Prettier Than You ended in a 0-0 stalemate.
While all the lower teams were remembering how to win, Trusted By Millions, who haven’t lost the habit this season, go top following a 3-2 win over the Dead Parrots. Boston Rock drop to second, and are now only 3 points ahead of Fred West Landscape Gardening, who comfortably beat Nil Satis 4-0, with Giggs and Diouf amongst the goals. Suddenly up to 4th in the table go ever-dangerous Aardvark Abacus, who eased past Thommo’s Titans 3-0 with Riise, Carvalho and Gallas goals. And following a 3-0 win over champions Claymore, Eleven Imaginary Boys are back up into 6th spot. Not bad at all for the first season back, Prov lad!
SO TIRED, TIRED OF WAITING, TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOU
The draw for the FA Cup First Round was made at the Lava Lounge on Sunday afternoon. I was going to ask the visiting Mr. Watts to do the draw at half-time in the footy, but as he stitched us up, Ady drew the home teams and Rachel the aways after the game finished. The draw came out as follows;
Real Muppets v Thommo’s Titans
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum v Eleven Imaginary Boys
San Dimas High School v Fred West Landscape Gardening XI
Trusted By Millions v Mega Buck Bandits
22 Legged Groove Machine v Prettier Than You
The Dead Parrots v Claymore Athletic FC
Final Fantasy XI v You Know Your Boston Rock FC
York’s Returning Glory v Aardvark Abacus
A real wide-open draw, this one, with no real clashes between table-topping teams, or local derbies. Tie of the Round? Dunno, really!
TRANSFER NEWS
None – again!
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Watching last season’s European Cup Final between Liverpool and AC Milan on telly, Aston Villa defender Jlloyd Samuel made a half time bet with his girlfriend that Liverpool would lose. This bet eventually ended up costing Samuel what?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 17 December 2005. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
VfB Stuttgart’s trainer Giovanni Trappatoni recently had German train drivers up in arms. Following a German Cup defeat by second division Hansa Rostock, Trappatoni reportedly said; “A trainer has to know he is always under pressure. Otherwise, he should become a train driver.” However, German rail union Transnet felt the Italian had insulted its members and has asked him to apologise. The union replied; “[Train drivers] have a responsible job, they carry people around, they have to ensure that they reach their destinations safely. While a Bundesliga trainer ‘only’ has to prepare and pick a team for a game, an engine driver must prove his ability day in day out.”
So next time you see a footy manager wearing the cares of the world on his heavily furrowed brow, just remember – it’s an easy life compared to driving trains around the Fatherland!
Two correct replies this week, from Jared and Clive. Eleven Imaginary Boys won the very real coin toss so the £100,000 cash goes to Prov. Well done and hard luck Clive. That’s twice this weekend that young Prov has got one over on you!
A wrong ‘un as well from Dave (“how about the guild of Ompah Band Musicians?” How about, you’re mad, mate! Sleep deprivation does funny things to your brain, obviously…).
