I KNOW IT'S OVER, STILL I CLING
Well, my plea for a current WSFFL manager to step forward and take on the coordinator’s role has been met with a deafening silence. So unless this changes, I’m afraid I have to announce that the current WSFFL season will be the last.
So, here are my thoughts on wrapping up the season and the league. Obviously there’s no point in doing an AGM for the awards ceremony alone. Also, there’s not enough in the WSFFL coffers to cover plaques and engraving plus an evening’s buffet, so I don’t propose to do an EGM. So I guess the awards ceremony will have to be dumped. The winning managers from this year will have to come over and collect their plaques, once I get them sorted out (which I’ll ensure I do earlier this season, with a view to having them done by the end of May).
As for the trophies – well, of course this season’s winning managers get them for a year, but beyond that? There are two views on the correct disposal of the Cups;
1. That the managers winning them this year should get to keep them.
2. That the managers who’ve won them the most should get to keep them. In that case, they’d go as follows;
· League Trophy – Aardvark Abacus. Ady’s won it 3 times (and is likely to do so for a 4th time this year). The 2-time winners, namely Claymore and Boston Rock (once as Athletico Sheriff), are out of the running this year.
· FA Cup – You Know Your Boston Rock FC – the only 3-time FA Cup winners.
· League Cup (PCMT) – 22 Legged Groove Machine. There are no less than four 2-time winners of this Cup, namely the Groovers, Aardvark, Boston Rock and Kylie Bumcheeks. The Kylies are no longer a team, and as Ady gets the league trophy and myself the FA Cup under this scheme, I thought it might be best that Rich has this.
However, I’m open to any and all suggestions – your views please?
OH MY BLOOD RELATION, THE REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT IS HERE
Aardvark Abacus are 5 points clear at the top of the WSFFL table and favourites to win the last-ever WSFFL season, after Ady’s brother did him a huge favour and beat his nearest rivals Trusted By Millions, 2-0 this weekend. Trusted fell to Heskey and Fabregas goals in a POTW winning performance by Mega Bucks. Well done Dave!
Ady won his own game, 2-1 over Yorks, and now needs only 7 points from his last 4 games to secure the title.
Prettier Than You stay 3rd following a 2-2 draw with Nil Satis, although Real Muppets draw to within 1 point of Rachel following their 3-1 win over bottom club the Dead Parrots. The Groove Machine slip from 5th to 7th as Wayne Rooney hit a double for Claymore in their 2-1 win, Hunt getting a consolation for Rich.
Elsewhere Fred and Final Fantasy drew, as did Thommos and Boston Rock; and the Imaginary Boys scored an impressive 2-1 win over San Dimas.
THIS IS WHAT WE CALL THE MUPPET SHOW
The 2006/07 WSFFL FA Cup Final Replay was won by Real Muppets, details as follows;
York’s Returning Glory 1-3 Real Muppets
Tonge 39 Ronaldo 28
Reina 90
Agger 90 90,000
The impressive Cristiano Ronaldo stroked the Muppets ahead midway through the first half, only for the game Yorks to hit back through Tonge before the break. However the Muppets had much the better of the second half, and 2 late goals from Reina and Agger secured the Cup. So congratulations to Ryan!
ROLLING OUT A CARPET OF REGRETS
One of the Premiership’s many and myriad detestable points was demonstrated once again with the sacking of Chris Coleman by Fulham, following a poor run of results. Coleman, despite the obvious handicap of being Welsh, is a bloody nice bloke, and apparently the possessor of a good musical taste, if my and Rach’s spotting of him at a Hot Hot Heat gig a couple of years back is any measure. He’s also done an incredible job of keeping Fulham afloat and viable in the Premiership, despite an average attendance that would embarrass a League One club, and Al Fayed’s financial cutbacks resulting in the Cottagers increasingly becoming a selling club.
I hope what they sought to avoid by this ridiculous decision now comes to pass, and Fulham choke on their regrets in sacking Coleman. Fulham, my message to you is GET RELEGATED! I, and many other fair-minded football fans, will now laugh long and hard at your hopeful demise. So there!
TRANSFER NEWS
None – again!
THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
Which League 2 team’s players recently had to drive in convoy to an away fixture, as they couldn’t afford a bus?
Answers to me by close of play Saturday 21 April 2007. As usual, first correct one out of the metaphorical hat gets the dosh.
The longest unbeaten start this season was enjoyed by Aston Villa, who went 9 games from the off without tasting defeat. This run of 3 wins and 6 draws was ended by Liverpool, who beat Villa 3-1 at Anfield on 28 October.
I got 2 correct guesses, from Peej and Clive. San Dimas High School won the toss, so Peej gets the dosh. Well done chap!
