Patrikpatrik Charged for Assault

The time has come where the RM Invitational players have all shown their faces and today's big headline surrounds this.

It has been reported of late the Kensington Boys Club have been hot on Sjunne Wenna's tail and they had a 250k bid accepted for him last week. Cathal Brennan was shocked to find that the bid was withdrawn but that wasn't the end of that. Sjunne Wenna revealed his face to the public, which was covered with a large scar on his cheek and over his elbow.

The Boys Club were apparently discussing a contract with the best player alive but when they couldn't match his demands, Patrikpatrik beat the player with a nyckelharpa which resulted in the player suffering long term scars on his face. Want proof? Check his player page.

Patrikpatrik will be on trial next Tuesday.

Gaffer gets back off holiday

ocs18 had gone away on holiday recently to attend a friend’s wedding, whilst he was goneTottenham Hotspur continued their disappointing league form, with two loses against PSV Eindhoven and Juventus.

As ocs18 headed for the airport, Giovani Dos Santos pledged his loyalty to Tottenham and expressed a willingness to learn as much from his fellow professionals. Ocs18 was starting to wonder if the troubled midfielder, who spent the latter part of the season playing just a handful of matches, had the ‘need’ to want to do well in the game. But Dos Santos has three years outstanding on his contract and seems happy to stay put.

"I'm looking forward to proving everyone wrong, that I’m good enough to play at this club," said Dos Santos yesterday. "My intention is to stay with the club so I'm concentrating on getting back to peak fitness. My intention is to help Tottenham get as high up the table as possible."

manager still the biggest problem

It's quite simpe really the lack of time the manager is putting into his side is hampering his sides progress this season. Another game was played using default tactics and this cannot continue, thankfully it did not hurt too much but we must focus more if results are to improve.

we need a win

a draw and 2 defeats was not the start splott rovers needed in this tough league. the players have been trying their best but are missing the likes of Badger ond Punisher whose form secured them back to back titles. we are going to need a win soon to get our confidence back

Win

Cony Tottee's St Omer side gained their first victory of the season this week with an impressive 2 - 0 home win over London Gunners.

Next up is a home game against Tottenham Hotspurs and hopefully they will be able to build on that first victory. I'd imagine they'll go back to losing though.

Johnny Douglas the Hat-trick Hero

Anime have had yet another slow start but have taken the first real step into turning the corner in this new season following a fine home display in a packed Hayao Miyazaki Stadium. After full time it finished 3-1 with well travelled Johnny Douglas who scored all 3 goals for Anime Allstars FC. After the match Joshy gave us a few words...

" Its great to give the loyal supports a great match at home. Today the players gave it their all in a match we fully deserved to win. Its still early days but there might still be some changes taking place we did inquire about one player who shall remain unknown for now. Up next we face FCR Cressex and in our last 2 meetings we have been able to put 7 goals past them with no reply. We know we will not have it our own way this time round and we go into this match expecting a really battle on the pitch. "

ANother win

Juventus kept up their winning ways with a powerful 3-0 win over tottenham this week. This keeps juventus' 100% winning record in tact. It was a great performance in which the team will hope to carry through to the next game against reggae reggae reggae.

I HATE THIS GAME!!!

Claudio Collauto has been injured in a recent melee outside PSV Eindhoven's ground. Animal rights activists had been demonstrating peacefully outside the ground following the announcement of a new kit manufacturer who are well known animal testers. However, after initial protests started, a crowd of troublemakers joined in and charged the police who were on duty at the time. Claudio Collauto was caught in the charge after leaving the ground and will be out of action for 13 days.

"I cant believe this the x11 team are trying their best to mess my teams up. They've been targeting me since 2005. I plead they stop it. Im sure its because my team is just too good. Im desperately trying to reduce the squad number as im sure its a direct consequence. For that Jason Oatway is on the Transfer market fo only 200,000 econs."

3 On The Bounce

PSV seems to have made an unexpected start to the season with three straight victories. Our latest result comes against Reggae Sauce. Once again we played really well. Our new experienced midfielder (I still dont know his name) played really well and in the past 3 games has showed his value. We know its not all sweet and tougher games lay ahead but, we'll take the good times with the bad.

When asked if he thought his team could stay top at the end of the season?
"Dont be silly, Juventus will soon run away with the league. A top 5 finish will please me"

TCM canter, whilst West Brom Stroll...

These Charming Men got their second victory of the season with a fine 1-0 win against the string West Brom Strollers.

Chano Delgado got the 64th minute winner, which puts RDCM's men into 3rd at this early stage of the season.

TCM's celebrations were cut short by the news that captain Linus Streicher will be out for 3 weeks.

Division 1 Round 3

These Charming Men vs. West Brom Strollers 1-0
RDCM decided to go with Norbert Derksen between the posts once again. It is rumoured that his one year senior rival to the Charming keeper position Ion Avellino has been struggling with bad form this season and has not been chosen to start since the cup match against Bully Boys FC. These Charming Men dominated both halves despite Strollers better possession but once again West Brom showed a world-class defensive side. In the 64th minute however Chano Delgado was a head above the rest and put it away beautifully to bring RDCM’s side a third place.

RDCM will have to manage without Charming Captain Linus Streicher who had to leave the pitch injured and will not return until the second week of June and thus will miss out on Fridays match against Bully Boys.


Bully Boys FC vs. Gooners 0-0
It’s difficult to say that this match had it all since it had very little. Bully Boys initially took control but Gooners fought back in the 2nd half when Bully Boys had difficulties in keeping up the pressure. Bully Boys earned some well earned credit for their defensive side with both goal keeper Kangashaka and defender Vasama on the round 3 Xperteleven. This despite the fact that Kangashaka came off injured in the 56th minute.
The match had further glory as Manager of the round was declared to be FMRealism. Some might question the grounds for it in this particular match but the Gooners manager has proven time and time again that he is the best manager in division 1 right now and has brought his team to levels they could only dream of in the past.
Bully Boys now face their old rivals These Charming Men who have never been defeated by Cathalio11’s team. Bully Boys will seek revenge after their quarter final exit from the cup at the hands of RDCM’s side.


F.C. Greatness vs. African Imitators 2-2
Most Exciting Match of the Round was awarded as points were shared between old coach Darrencalvert and new coach Gravitons. An early goal by Faust Baronchelli caused an explosion of pink colours on Cedar Road after just 2 minutes time. New signing Arnautovic was perhaps too eager to show his worth as he was carded thereafter but the Greatness onslaught with 4 chances would only result in the one goal before half time.
Imitators showed up after the break as a new team. Roja scored after just 2 minutes but neither side seemed to be able to break the deadlock as Imitators suddenly played much more secure football and made Greatness wish they had put the game away earlier. AI Man of the match Wayne Rooney scored in the 90th minute which should have been the winner but Faust Baronchelli had other plans as he scored his second of the match in the 91st minute. Despite his great contribution it was Colluato who earned the man of the match and went on to captain the Xperteleven for round 3.

African Imitators face current second place holders White Hawk. Meanwhile FC Greatness will be hoping to end their spell of draws when they face off with AJ Rovers on Friday.

AJ Rovers vs. Kensington Boys Club 2-2
Speaking of draws, most points this round was shared in tightly contested matches. Rovers – Kensington games have been historically tight with KBC bringing home most of the points and a form of friendly rivalry is being established between the teams.
Tuesdays game would produce fifteen chances in total but it was Rovers who started off with a great first half with a pressure that the Boys found difficult to handle. Charles Tilly was booked out of shear frustration and it was not one of his best games for the club. Rovers struck again in the 75th minute and KBC looked helplessly behind at 2-0 and with very little time left. But Rovers became too comfortable it seemed and Harry Whitlow showed once more that he is a man for the future as he provided a much needed goal just a minute after conceding. James Wilde then scored with a very cheeky free kick to draw the match. Patrikpatrik would have wanted a win this day but considering the performance he must be clearly happy with a point.
Kensington now face Gooners in what could be a very important match for the Boys and a measure of where they are going this season. Rovers are expected to put at least one youngster to the task in order to break down a Greatness of a defense on Friday and to secure a good season.

Carthage FC vs. Yorkshires Amateurs 0-1
It was to take 94 minutes until Carthage FC was defeated, which was the fourth loss in a row for the oligarchic republic. Furthermore Kenneth MacKenna was injured but is expected to return in two weeks time. Carthage is definitely a team for the future with huge potential but Blakey0500 should expect his team to perform better being the second strongest team in the division even now.
Yorkshires Amateurs did a fine job and 19 year old Jeremie Carpenter will be happy with his first clean sheet after conceding three goals in his debut for the Amateurs even though senior keeper Antunes Bicanço served in goal the final 30 minutes after Carpenter sustained a minor injury.
Carthage are now dead last and it will be a battle of the bottom the fourth round between them and West Brom Strollers which may be Carthages chance to break this spell of losses. But it will take hard work against Strollers top defense. Yorkshire Amateurs will be facing mid-table Bristol City and it will be difficult to predict whether Carpenter will be fit to play another match so soon.

White Hawk FC vs. Bristol City 0-0
It was White Hawk all the way from the start in this match. Early on Rowan Atlee had to come off injured and was replaced by Ramão Graciete who then officially made his debut after the 897.000 econ deal that brought him to the club in the beginning of May. He was instantly baptized into division 1 football as White Hawk kept firing away at the Bristol City defense. Kelvin Farmer shot wide just before the break for Bristol but it was looking like White Hawks finally would be back on track after a disappointing season despite losing their top goal keeper to a twisted ankle in the first half.
The second half was a disappointment to say the least, both teams looked happy with the result and despite two chances from White Hawk there was no energy and Bristol City should have created more chances with the form they have been in.
White Hawk will hope to get Tarik Dankoi ready for Fridays game against African Imitators as Wayne Rooney has looked quite eager so far despite poor results overall. Bristol City have another away game coming up and it is all set up for18-year old superstar Jimmy Rankine to make his debut.

Bad bad start!!!

3 games with no win from Arsenal so far this season. "not good enough", simply put by their manager. Brown has been tinkering with his formations and using players in other areas to try and cover the loss of thier star player but the injury has rocked Arsenal as they failed to win a game after 3 attempts.

Things can only get better from here, their key player should return real soon and they can continue to build on the confidence that will give them

This week in Kensington

Kensington Boys Club have officially changed their sponsor. After a long term deal with FM Sweden the contract was not renewed and Kensington Boys club will now be sporting a Bwin logo instead. Fans have been upset as they have viewed the FM stamp as "classic" and that it will not be the same watching a home game without the famous orange logo.

Division 1 News

Yorkshires Amateurs vs. These Charming Men 0 - 2 (0 - 1)
The home game started off bad for Danlufc13’s Amateurs as one of January’s many youth signings Özgün Dolutas came off with an injury in the fifteenth minute. Early reports claim is a very slight injury and he will be fit within days. Bad turned worse, however, as Charming men had two fine chances ten minutes later resulting in a great goal by Shaun McFadden who was in the right place after Jorgé Carrils shot on goal.
These Charming Men continued to press forward in the second half, forcing Amateurs to concede an early corner where Chano Delgado showed his fine heading abilities and suddenly Amateurs where down two goals to none. Charming Men lined up the chances but the Yorkshire defense did a fine job, especially young Edwin Disley who made his best performance so far for the first team.

Kensington Boys Club vs. African Imitators 4 - 2 (3 - 2)
Kensington Boys Club where determined not to let the defeat at the hands of Bristol City affect them. Meanwhile African Imitators had a disastrous match behind them where AJ Rovers gave them no chance. The Boys mood was spoilt however in a single minute of football as Milosovic scored after a Rooney corner. Amazingly enough and untypical of KBC, they fought back and managed to bring the score to 1-1 after just 2 minutes played.
The fans felt a great game in the air but then Captain Maurice was brought down hard by Imitators youth Abubakar and had to receive urgent medical assistance before Dorian Lonsdale could replace his captain. Soon afterwards Milosovic struck again and it seemed as if the Gravitons side would finally break the long spell of failed league games. But KBC struck back with two quick goals before half time and the second half was just an all out yellow themed card fest for Imitators. The team has a record for being booked and Gravitons will not be happy with the ref after five cards despite playing careful. In the end, Chuck Tilly brought the house down with a 25-yard screamer in the 81st minute which sealed the game: 4-2.

West Brom Strollers vs. Bully Boys FC 1 - 1 (0 - 0)
In what was beforehand a match between the poorest team and the most in-form team was to be the second draw in division 1 this day. The initial injury on Neil Clement would prove to be of little worry to Dinkydave as he promptly replaced one talent with another having the best defense in the division. Possession-wise it was West Broms half but neither side would concede a goal before the break.
In the 63rd minute Ike Dyer broke the deadlock. After Ernst Last blasted a training ground set piece over the bar in the first half, midfield giant Wenna lifted the ball beautifully to Dyer to score. Strollers would quickly reply with Cyrille Regis scoring from Browns pass but despite 6 minutes added time, it was a draw in the end. 1-1.
Manager Cathalio will still be happy to get another point in the league despite playing on grass and is reported to be open for negotiations on his star Sjunne Wenna in the mid season transfer window.

Gooners vs. AJ Rovers 2 - 1 (0 - 0)
FMRealism with an eye for special qualities decided to give January signing Igor Akinfeev a chance between the posts. The 21 year old keeper only had two matches last season and will be happy to show his worth.
Igor had little chance to earn his wages in the first half where record goal scoring Bergkamp had two great chances on goal but AJ Rovers where lacking. Gooners where clearly interested in keeping the ball and letting the midfield play a part in their attacks.
Having struggled, Rovers looked determined to put the pressure back on Gooners but instead, conceded a free kick for all their efforts that Henry slotted behind Hodges to get 1-0 to the reds. This clearly would dampen Rovers spirits as they continued to let Gooners have their way in the midfield. In the 76th minute Bergkamp kept the ball effortlessly before passing it to Henry. The lone striker tried a shot and it was 2-0 through red coloured magic. Rovers did try in the dying minutes to grab a point through a Bain/Brónach attempt following a sweet goal by the pair but it was to be 2-1 in the end.

Carthage FC vs. White Hawk FC 0 - 1 (0 - 1)
Carthage had a disappointing season compared to their last two where they won division three and finished second in division two but clearly more uplifting than their defeat at the hands of the Romans in 150 BC. Meanwhile White Hawk had a disaster of a season in the top flight and are fighting to find stability in division 1 with a complicated squad.
Carthage FC seemed to control the game easily in the first half with great possession and a couple of great chances by Miguel Ângelo but a sudden White Hawk penalty seemed to drain the Blues out of their initial burst of energy. After 1-0 in half time the Carthagians pushed on but initial splendor by man of the match Ad Herbal gave way to tired legs as Hoorayme grabbed all three points in this game.

Bristol City vs. F.C. Greatness 1 - 1 (0 - 0)
Finally it was a game between Bristol City, having had five coaches in as many seasons and FC Greatness who have been under Darrencalverts constant control.
First half was a calm one with only a few chances between the teams but then Leroux calabuig struck home a great goal after young Payá managed a fine corner. Soon afterwards Payá would himself claim a goal, only to be disallowed. This would finally bring a needed energy to the game that had fans wanting a better game for their money. FC Greatness saw a chance when experienced midfielder Julius was replaced by youngster Betts who did not look up to the task. In the dying minutes Filippinetti easily grabbed the ball from Betts and served it to Recoba who gracefully put it in goal. Both managers seemed keen to add some necessary vigor to their sides as youth signings were completed after the game.

Greatness Sign Inter's Youth!

F.C. Greatness have made there second sign this season with manager Darren Calvert having a close relationship with Inter Milan Chairman Massimo Moratti by bringin in 17 youth Marko Arnautovic for F.C Twente on a perminant basis.

Arnautovic scored 22 goals in 24 Games for the Under-16 FC Twente in the 2009–10 season, helping them win the youth championship. He then played for Jong FC Twente between 2007 and 2009, appearing in 32 games and scoring 27 goals.

He made his debut in the professional football squad of FC Twente last season as a substitute for Kennedy Bakircioglü against PSV Eindhoven in April. In July 2010 he extended his contract with Twente despite interest from Dutch giants Feyenoord.

On August 4, 2010, it was said that Arnautovic was on the verge of a move to Italian giants Internazionale. The deal had been largely held up due to a stress fracture in Arnautovic's right foot, leading to a re-negotiation of the deal between the clubs. On 6 August it was announced by Twente that the details for the loan had been finalised, Arnautovic would join Inter on loan for the season. The deal was said to become permanent if he was to play a set number of matches. If the deal does not become permanent the player will return to Twente on a pre-agreed contract of two years, with an option to extend the contract for a third year. He made his unofficial debut for Inter Milan in a friendly game 1–0 away victory against Chievo.


Arnautovic played his first match for the Austria national senior team on 11 October 2009 against the Faroe Islands.

Arnautovic spoke in press conferance:
"It is a dream come true to play for this club.................... I play for Inter over the summer and gained valuable experinece, but oppertunties play during the season would happen and so when I was told that F.C. Greatness were interested in me and i'm in there plans for the future I was excited with what he had to say!.................. Just wonna say thank to Twente and an awesome season with them and for Moratti for letting me come to milan and cutting my loan period so I can come here!"

Thesmurf left feeling blue!

The Smurftastic Smurfs manager thesmurf was left looking embarrassed as he missed the start of the season and got a lesson from The Vikings. The Smurfs where totally unprepared and it showed as the Vikings coolly slotted 5 home with no glimmer of a reply from the visitors. Portway opened the scoring in the 20th minute after a pass by Jukka and Milbourne added a second just 2 minutes later with Portway the provider. The Vikings had clearly decided this game could be won in the first half and Papakostas shot home after good work by Tassiopoulos on 36 and just a minute later Tassiopoulos floated over a corner for Gourmas to slot home. The Vikings eased off after the break with the game won but there was time for Gourmas to slot home a 71st minute penalty to complete the rout. Thesmurf laid the blame for the defeat at his own hands and promised a better performance next round. Eaglesrjh was happy to get an easy first win and some momentum for a title defence.

ThunderCats F.C moved into second behind the Vikings with a 3-1 home win against AFC Stanley. ThunderCats got off to the perfect start with MacAdie scoring in the 3rd minute from a Miceli set up. Stanley however responded well and equalised in the 20th minute, Rodriques leapt highest to head home a Molseley cross. The first half ended all square but it was again MacAdie who broke the deadlock in the 59th minute getting away from his marker to head home a Lange cross. The points where then made safe in the 71st minute when Polo fired home a perfect free kick. ThunderCats now look to keep momentum in a tough away game against another first day winner Real Madrid whilst Markham will be hoping he does not face a Smurfs backlash.

Real Madrid FC got the only other win in the top flight in a tight game away at OAP Pop Punk. The only goal of the game came late on as Higuain found space between tiring defenders to head home a Ramos cross. Solongsuperman will be disappointed to lose this first game but it is wondered if he had unsettled his squad beforehand with rumours of a sale of keeper Given. FredRizzo will maybe feel like he stole 3 points today but will happily accept them.

Arsenal and Splott Rovers shared the points in a pulsating game at The Emirates. Firstly there was bad news for Arsenal as Vidic went off injured early on. However this did not seem to deter them and they took the lead in the 9th minute with Asprilla rising highest to head home a Gibson corner. Splott though are made of tough stuff and got a equaliser in the 39th minute with Paul-Philip Ravage getting a good header to a Henry Beast cross. Parity only lasted 1 minute though as Arsenal broke free at the other end and Gibson again sent over a perfect ball this time for Eboue to head home. After this it looked for a long time like Arsenal may hold on for 3 points but Splott got a late leveller as Tolley hammered the ball home from range. Both managers may feel happy enough with a point against tough opponents, DomBrown was left ruing the injury to his best defender and wondering what might of been, but did find time to congratulate his opponents on a good game. Carbonmonoxide called it a good result and was keen to praise young striker Tolley for the equaliser.
Last years runners-up Totaalvoetbal had to settle for a point against newly promoted Pahang United. It looked good for the visitors early on as Van Diemen showed good early season from and slotted home well after being found by Cruz in the box. Pahang though are a tough side and did not allow Totaal another chance and got an equaliser in the 68th minute with a free kick from the dangerous Kilian Strongbow. Worse was to follow for Totaal as keeper Leemans was carried off with a serious injury. Totaalvoetbal responded by bringing in a loan keeper for a couple of games but manager RobinMeeblind must be concerned by the lack of goalkeeper cover. TrueBlue took pride in a point and set about trying to find tactics to do the same to the Vikings.

Santos FC and Kirkbride Strollers also shared the points on opening day. Both goals came in the first half, firstly Sisenando put Santos ahead from a Mitchell cross but Kirkbride Staltwart Robinson levelled the game with a trademark free kick in the 39th minute. Santos the saw striker Ribeiro sent off in the 43 rd minute and seemed to settle for a point as neither side created much in the second half. Both managers where quiet after the game but will be hoping to improve in coming games.

Rovers roar into top slot

AJ Rovers started the season with a bang with a big 4-0 away victory at African Imitators. The Visitors bossed the game from the start and didn’t even allow the home side a shot on goal. They opened the scoring in the 15th minute when Bain curled home a great shot after being found by Savinykh. Rovers had to wait till the middle of the second half to extend their lead, Bronach sent over a corner and Kindgren was on hand to head home. The points where safe in the 74th minute when Bronach became the scorer leathering the ball home from range. Bronach then completed a very good day with a 4th team goal in the 82nd minute. AJ Rovers will be very pleased to get a good win as they push for performance but will likely face a sterner test next away at Gooners. Gravitons will be hoping his side can shake off this defeat and put in a better performance next game.

Bully Boys FC swept aside Yorkshires Amateurs to move into second place. The mercurial Wenna opened the scoring on 19 when he beat the defence to a cross ball from Hayter. Cathalio had obviously asked for more from his team at half time and got the response he asked for when straight from kick off Conway got the ball from Barratt and caught Yorkshires keeper Carpenter unaware with a long range effort. The victory was sealed in the 87th minute, amateurs where pushing up trying to get back in the game and where caught with a quick breakaway, Barratt again the provider this time for Hayter to slot home. Cathalio was pleased with a comfortable start and had words of comfort for the Amateurs manager who must be hoping to get his side going as they look to bounce straight back up.

Bristol City currently occupy the 3rd promotion spot after day 1 after a great home win against Division 1 regulars Kensington Boys Club. Bristol got off to the perfect start as recent signing Lipscombe found space in the first minute to put away a ball from Julius. The lead was extended in the 40th minute when Julius got a goal for himself with a lovely free kick. Kensington kept the game going but could not force a goal that might have changed the game and Bristol relaxed and guarded their lead well. New manager PBStev was pleased to get a win in his first competitive match and was quick to praise new signing Lipscombe and question the abilities of some other strikers in the league. Patrikpatrik will surely be hoping for more from his boys as he looks to finally escape division 1.

Gooners won arguably the game of the day away at West Brom Strollers. Gooners started well and converted the only chance of a tight first half with Rocastle finding the net from range. The only other incident of note in the first half was an injury to WBS keeper Valdezuka, his replacement was Scott Carson. Gooners may have thought they were on easy street when they went 2 up in the 50th minute. Rocastle again the scored this time with a header from a Bergkamp cross. WBS though are still a very good team and they gave themselves hope when Regis scored with a well placed shot in the 67th minute, WBs then pushed hard and got an equaliser in the 82nd as Brown broke quickly and laid the ball off to Statham to score. Heartbreak was to follow for WBS though as their hard work coming back was for nothing as Borja sent a 90th minute free kick past Carson to win the points for Gooners. Dinkydave was quiet after the match and the WBS fans will be hoping he can turn the clubs fortunes around, FMRealism on the other hand was delighted to “stun” the division but still spoke about expecting the hardest season for sometime.

F.C Greatness where also winners ion opening day but must have feared the worst when Cannavaro went off injured early in the first half. In fact it took into the second half for this game to get going, Benfari found space after a quick break by Colluato and slotted home to give Greatness a 50th minute lead. The same combination then sealed the points in the 82nd minute as Benfari struck home from inside the box, Carthage did cause a little scare as a set piece free kick resulted in a 88nd minute goal for Eribenne but this proved to be no more than a consolation as Greatness took the points. Darrencalvert was quick to praise striker Benafri after the game but did question if he could keep the form up for the entire season. Blakey0500 must find a way to pick his team up ahead of the visit of White Hawk FC

White Hawk also got off to a winning start as they beat newly promoted These Charming Men 2-1. TCM where maybe still suffering a cup final defeat headache and where 2 down by half time. Donahue shot home in the 16th minute after a corner and then made it 2 on the stroke of halftime with a well taken penalty. TCM did improve after the break but an 85th minute goal from Streicher will have done to ease RDCM’s opening day blues. RDCM spoke of trying to sell players to improve clubs funds as he looks to improve on squad form.

Munzberg Magic for Morley

Morley Town continued from where they had left off last season with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over AC Milan. Milan where rocked early by an injury to defender McCarthy and you are left wondering if the defence had not sorted out its responsibilities as Munzberg was left unmarked to shoot home after a Arnautu corner in the 10th minute. The game was more or less over in a 5 minute burst just before halftime, firstly A well worked set piece move saw Munzberg set up Chambers to shoot home and then Munzberg again left the Milan defence dazzled as he got free on the wing and sent over a cross that was easy for Ashe to head home. Morley where being deadly in front of goal and scored their fourth goal from 4 chances as Munzberg sent over a corner that Ashe was on hand to put away. Milan did manage a consolation with a long range 71st minute effort from Zorzi but this will have been little comfort for them. Leeg1 was quiet but must be happy with his teams start, Xmensch spoke of the same problems as before at Milan and must be looking hard for answers.

Abu Dhabi United took 3 points from division 2 youngest team Crimea River but must be ruing the cost to his team. Wattamaleo put Abu Dhabi ahead in the 21st minute with a well placed header but the team then saw Jordan and Visavuori having to be replaced due to injuries. The points where more or less sealed in the 68th minute as Morgan headed home a Dovleac cross, Crimea then saw two of their players off with injuries as both sides looked a bit fragile. Injury time proved eventful in this game, firstly Wattamaleo scored a 3rd for Abu Dhabi before being dismissed from the field just 2 minutes later. Mansour then made use of this extra man to find space and fire home a consolation goal for Crimea. Talinmer spoke after the game about his injury and suspension worries whilst Crimea River manager Ithaqua spoke of his disappointment to score a goal and ruin 1 of the seasons objectives already.

FC Bayern Munchen slipped into 3rd spot with a home victory over Wortley afc. This was another game with an early injury as wortley had to change their lone striker after Hiller picked up an injury in the 15th minute. They responded well and in fact took the lead as Santos shot home a 42nd minute free kick. Bayern responded quickly though and where level before half time, Marshall Mayhem smashing home a long range effort after good work by Billy Bob. The second half belonged to the home team though, Billy Bob turned scorer in the 64th minute following a breakaway and the points where sealed in the 79th minute when Pelizzoli curled one home from range. Both managers where quiet after the game and may be waiting for more of the season to develop before speaking up.

Legends won a tight away match at Special Ones MKII, the first half was really a non event with neither side managing a shot at goal, things changed quickly after the break and Nesta gave Legends the lad in the 49th minute with an excellent header from a Van Basten cross. Captain Nesta then suffered a bad injury but his side played on well and got a 2nd to secure the points in the 83rd minute when Ronaldo Luis Nazario broke clear and placed the ball past the despairing Roberts. Legends look to be a force to be reckoned with in this division and AJTrader should not read too much into this loss.

New RMI Manager LIVERMOZ got his recently rebranded ALLORNOTHING side off to a winning start against Espada. ALLORNOTHING had a bad start when midfielder Stanczuk had to be replaced early in the first half, the first half was very much a sizing up operation as neither side registered a chance. ALLORNOTHING improved after the break and took the lead after a 58th minute corner. Shepherd sent the ball across and Isimaru got his head to the ball to open the scoring. The game was then wrapped up in the 82nd minute, Isimaru was again given too much space in the box and shot home after a pass by Stillie. ALLORNOTHING will surely look to continue this revival under their new manager whilst Espada must look to prove they can compete in this division after winning division 3 last year.

The only game of the day without a clear winner was at Crazy Town as relegated Bonkers met promoted Crimson Tigers. The first half produced a spate of bookings but no real excitement, the second half however was a different affair. Burkhart gave the visitors the lead in the 47th minute as he was free in the area to shoot home after good work by Allegri. The lead did not last too long though as Bonkers fought back and equalised when Larsson broke free quickly before unselfishly setting up Maynard to equalise. Crimson Tigers got their noses in front again in the 60th minute when Argello sent home a perfect free kick. But another twist was still to come as Bonkers fought back again, Larsson again the provider as Sutton headed home his 75th minute cross. GarethLloyd spoke about the normality of this team putting him through the emotional wringer every game whilst Paulc333 called it a decent first game whilst stressing the importance of gaining 3 points in the next round.

PSV off to perfect start

PSV Eindhoven top the table after round 1 after an away win at St Omer. Both clubs are still very young so really anything could have happened but a little more experience in the Eindhoven camp proved decisive. Like many games this round the first point of interest was an injury. PSV midfielder MacFinlay having to be replaced in the 26th minute. The first half was goalless but it was in the second half that PSV took control. Simons picked up the ball in the box from Tollefsen and beat his man to give PSV a 56th minute lead. The points where then seemingly made safe in the 75th minute as Collauto fired home a perfect free kick. The cherry was put on the 2nd half performance in the 89th minute with Collauto again the scorer after being picked out in the box by Simons. PSV manager Kadri spoke about being tactically spot on but was concerned that he may not have got the balance of his squad right yet. St Omer manager ConyTottee simply called his sides performance “Rubbish” and it will be hard to pick his team up for a game against Juventus next round.

Alsancak F.C got a good early season win at home to Reggae Reggae Sauce to move into 2nd spot. Both sides had to make early first half changes due to minor injuries as neither side looked to back down from the challenge. The rest of the first half was a story of two penalties, firstly Rory Burston scored from the spot in the 24th minute to give Alsancak the lead but Torres then did the same for Reggae Reggae Sauce in the 42nd minute to send the sides in level at the break. The game was won or Alsancak early in the 2nd half. Firstly Noble shot home in the 49th minute from a Muamba corner then more RRS indiscipline left Taylor to score from a 55th minute free kick, Reggae Reggae sauce fans will again be worried by their managers apparent lack of attention to the team especially given that only having one sub was exposed when Preetnav picked up a late injury but there was no one to replace him. Alsancak will look to pick up momentum from this victory and hope for victory next game.

Kilie_gers managed to park his Pink Bus into the promotion slots with an away win at Rolling Thunder. All the scoring was done in the first half with Pink bus Riders taking early command, firstly Eaves scored in the 11th minute following a quick break by Fornander and just 3 minutes later the lead was doubled when Daly neatly tucked away a penalty. Pink Bus then had to make two changes due to injuries and this disorganization may have led to the wrong player being out of position and a poorly timed challenge led to a 39th minute Rolling Thunder penalty that was duly converted by Mikel. Pink Bus riders though quickly re-established their two goal lead when a training ground set piece move saw Abadiotakis score after being set up by Berber. This was the end of the scoring as Pink Bus saw out the second half to record victory. Kilie_gers then revealed he had gone back to university and spoke at length about the intricacies of the game of football.

FCR Cressex also got themselves off to a winning start but again had to readjust to suit an early injury with Levein having to be replace by Boccaccini. The only goal of a tight game came in the 47th minute as a well worked set piece move saw Rojas tee up Valsson to score. AFC Boo Boys rarely looked threatening and whilst Cressex could not add to their lead they did enough to limit Boo Boys chances and come away with the points. Cressex now take on Pink Bus riders whilst Boo Boys will try to get their season started away at London gunners.

Juventus where the days other winners with victory in a tight home game against London Gunners. The Gunners missed an excellent chance to open the scoring when Vuckovic failed to convert from the penalty spot in the 6th minute. Juventus where struggling to get going in the first half and life looked pretty grim when they had to make a change for an injury to Culshaw in the 58th minute. However more positive news was to follow and they got the games only goal from a well worked free kick move Namli the scorer in the 61st minute. London gunners could not muster any more offense and the game finished 1-0. Neither manager was available for comment but both will ultimately be looking for better displays from their teams in coming matches.

Anime Allstars and Tottenham Hotspur played out a game which was very short on chances. All the talking points in this game came in the form of injuries and a sending off. Tottenham made the first change as Dawson limped off before they saw themselves reduced to ten men when Master saw straight red in the 58th minute. Allstars also had to make two late changes due to minor injuries but non e of the injuries picked up in the match look like they will keep players out for long. Despite picking up a straight red card Tottenham will only have to live without Master for one game which will be a relief to their manager. Both sides will be looking for more entertaining matches to come.

Anime off to a slow start

Following last seasons near miss on promotion Joshy told media his sides poor start to the season cost them in the end but played down the idea that Anime Allstars FC was a promotion chasing team in the first place. So surely this season they were exspected to be in the mix, even more so following the cluds truly breath taking achievement of winning the silly season cup in dramatic style. The cup heros however have not landed on their feet and have now drawn their first two opening matches. The opening match of the season was a close 0 - 0 with Tottenham Hotspur, a game the visitors felt like they should of won. Next was a trip to the Sauce Bottle Arena. Anime Allstars FC had to come from a goal down to earn a draw in a match Anime felt robbed to have only earned a point. Manager Joshy gave us a moment to reflect on the clubs season so far...

" After winning the cup the players have struggled to find top gear yet. However our will and resolve still make us very hard to beat, Tottenham Hotspur came to our stadium with the perfect plan but even that was not enough to break us down then we showed character after going a goal down to earn a point against Reggae Reggae Sauce. Up next we face a old rival in the form of Rolling Thunder hopefully we can get our first win under our belt and get our season back on track. "

Solid Start

Town News

Morley have made a good start to their time in Division 2 with a dominant 4-1 win against AC Milan and a 0-0 draw against a stubborn Bonkers side, a stunning performance by Adolf Munzberg against AC Milan was the highlight of both games. He scored one and set up the other three goals in what will be remembered as one of theperformances of the season, Ashe grabbed himself a brace and defender Chambers grabbed a goal before he left the field due to injury.

Morley were the better side against Bonkers but their attackers failed to break down the obstinate Bonkers defence despite creating more chances than their opponents.

Morley face a tough game against bogey team and fellow Divsion 2 newcomers Crimson Tigers on Tuesday evening.

2 Points from 2 games

Its been a very nightmare week whereby Pahang fixtures met 2 of the very good team in RMI. The games look very competitive and from paper, The Vikings had a great opportunity to win the match but unfortunately Pahang's boss put them in the dark with 0 attempt to Pahang side.

Its good to see we grabbed a point at their home ground. The tactics was fine so far and hope it will last long.

top but not convincing

Viking land News

The Vikings currently sit top of the RMI once again but really the club so far have not looked very convincing, the season started with an easy win against a young unprepared Smurftastci Smurfs side and then there was a draw with a very poor performance against Pahang. improved performances must happen.

Vote of Confidence for Markham

2 defeats out of 2 have culminated in the worse possible start for Stanley under the reigns of manager Markham33 , heads are down and talk of dressing room unrest have not helped matters for Stanley , indeed the chairman has come out in support of Markham and was quick to quell talk of Robin Meeblind taking over after he was spotted driving away from a local hotel shortly followed by a Stanley director.

"Markham is here for the long haul , he will turn things round as he has done in the past we have no doubts about that " the chairman is quoted on the club website

Four Chances = Four Goals = Four Points

That’s how it read for Totaalvoetbal after the opening week of Season 7 in the RM Invitational.

The Dutch side kicked off their campaign away at Pahang and were made to struggle by a resilient home team. Pierre van Diemen did put them in front early on but that was as good as it got for Totaal who couldn’t manage another chance in the whole game. Pahang duly equalised on 68 minutes courtesy of a great strike by Kilian Strongbow and a point was the least they deserved.

Things did improve for the Oranje men in their first fixture of the season at Metelo Park on Friday. A first-half blitz saw Ramiro Verona, van Diemen and William Ralph Dean all find the net to leave Splott struggling. The visitors did create a couple of chances after the break but it proved not to be their day.

Robin Meeblind was content after the opening week:
“Of course I am disappointed we couldn’t be more progressive against Pahang but they made things very tough for us,” he opened.

“Thankfully, we look sharp up front and the win against Splott should get us going for the season. No targets have been set, though, as there looks to be a number of teams capable of competing at the top end.”
So a game at a time it is for last season’s runners-up.

Losses are to be expected

Ajtrader100 has 14 Million Econ in the bank, and the side is slipping down like Kilie_gers of Barfins missus, so the big question yet to be answered is "Why don't you buy some bloody decent players you stupid buffoon?"

"In answer to your question, I quite like looking at the bank statement each month. I'm not used to it, having all this cash. Why would I want to buy any players when I get more enjoyment out of seeing how filthy rich I am?"

So with that mentality it's no wonder the side are suffering the worst run of defeats in the clubs history.....

another win

After a dreadful season last time round for juventus, they were looking to get off to a flyer this time round and that they certainly have. This week Juventus played st omer in which they took them town and trashed them 4-0 to see their goal difference move up. A game against tottenham next week could prove to be a tricky test but the manager is hopeful of another good performance

Form Continues

PSV have started the season well with two convincing victories but Kadri won't get carried away just yet.
"Its only 2 games, there's lots more to happen. Quite frankly im sick of this injuries, thats 2 in a row now. They only 1 week injuries but I fear a more serious one is coming. I have a theory that the bigger your squad is the more prone you're to injuries. (Possibly thats the system way of levelling things up. For that Im eager to sell a midfielder).
On a positive note, we played well against spurs and got a nice victory. We'll carrry on as we did last year and keep rotating the team.
In terms of season targers I still don't know yet. We'll see after 6 games.

From bad to worse

Things are not going to plan for Arsenal after 2 games they have only picked up 1 point. Brown had a feeling Kirkbride Strollers would park the bus so they tried something new and put their star midfielder upfront to try and increase their attacking options but this was not enough.

Brown was said to be so annoyed after the match he sacked one of his older strikers who was not playing like he should. Arsenal now face an up hill task to turn their luck around in the next match, a match that will be tough as OAP are a strong team with a great manager

Getting to know you.

I, the manager of the Pink Bus, would like to extend a warm handshake of friendliness to all the managers in this league. I would like to do this by educating you all on day to day goings on at the Riders.

I shall intorduce you to the player and coaching staff as well as other staff at the stadium over the coming weeks and I genuinely hope that the insight I shall give you will give you all a deeper understanding of this Club and what we stand for.

Today I want to intorduce you to a very important member of the staff here at the stadium. His work goes unnoticed and he is often overlooked at the end of seasn awards ceremony. However his role here at the Club is vital and I would like to take this opportunity to champion his achievements. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you...Alan the corner flag.

Alan arrived at the Club as an 18/5 youth with unflappable SQ. He has developed over the years into one of the finest corner flags we have ever seen here at the Riders. Some have suggested that he is a bit on the thin side to be a real success in the RMI, however I disagree. He has appeared in every match since I arrived here with no injuries and he has maintained high average form with minimal training. He is robust, flexible and can be used in any corner of the pitch. He is a true asset to the Club.

He has developed into a 25/8 and is worth a fortune however you shall never see Alan on the transfer market. He is so important to this Club that he now delivers motivational speeches to the youths that get promoted. Only last week out 19/5 youth got a boost in form due to the pearls of wisdom passed down to him by Alan the corner flag.

Myself and Alan would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for coming through the doors of the Pink Bus. We hope you have enjoyed learning about one small asepct of our footballing community here at the RIders and we look forward to welcoming you once again in the near future.

Never let it be said that we deviate from the true spirit of this game.

Football! DV! SQ's!

Comfortable Start For Bully Boys

Bully Boys, who spent last season in Division 2, hosted Yorkshires Amateurs, who spent last season in the top division, today. Pre-match survey showed that Bullies were the favorites for this match but anything could have happened; but the expected is what happened.

The scoreline showed a Bullies domination but that wasn't the full story. Bullies enjoyed much of the possession but didn't get the ball into the final third as much. In the end though they took their chances unlike the Amateurs which led to a 3-0 win. Goals coming from Edwin Hayter, Conway and Sjunne Wenna. Roni Kangashaka was given the man of the match award after a great display and keeping a clean sheet.

This is what manager Cathal Brennan had to say after the match:

'It's a great win of course and a huge boost in confidence for the team to hammer a side that were only just relegated from the top division the season before. Danlufc has proved in his long period with the Yorkshires Amateurs that he is a top manager and I don't think it was tactical genius that won the game. I couldn't predict what he was going to play, nor could he predict what I would play. We both played random tactics which in the end just favored me. I don't think this is there season over and I can't see them rolling over for TCM next Friday.

I am looking forward to our game against West Brom Strollers which on paper looks a really tough game for us. Sadly we had our request for the game to be played on A-4 pieces of paper turned down and now we need to prove that we are good enough to keep rising in the RM Invitational!"

decent first game

Paulc333 was happy enough with an away point at Bonkers. It's going to be a tough season and every single point could be vital in the search for survival, next up is a must win game against Crimea River, we need to give some backup players a game here but also need to pick up 3 points.

new season, old problems

In the start of the new season we have faced with old problems - our goalkepper! Aaron Mathis play with only 3 skill even though he has seven!? Well one match couldn't show us the right picture but tomorrow it will be known much more - was 1st round only blackout or it was the start of somethink deeper...

manager gets start date wrong!

The smurf must take the blame in total for the complete annihalation at the hands of the Vikings in this first league game. For some reason the manager thought the league did not start until Friday and had not set a team as was having a few days away. The manager has now slapped himself silly and promises at the very least a improved line up for game 2. form may dictate who plays but it will not be a youth team like before.

good result

Splott marked their debut in the top flight with a decent 2-2 draw against Arsenal DB. In an entertaining game Splott showed they can live with the big boys and it was great to see both our young strikers get off the mark, especially Tolley who is finally getting his chance to shine after joining from Vikings a couple of seasons ago.

Thats Better

It is good and deep breath when saw Pahang United able to secured 1 point playing at their Padang MPK. Good to see when Pahang have better chances in scoring goal. Kilian Strongbow failed to do so at the first chance and show his goal instinct when he score at the second attempt.
We met better team but i did managed to make them less attempt even though they have better strikers. We will find other better tactics when we meet The Vikings next. I'm not sure for full point but hopefully 1 point is there.
PAHANGNEWS

Out of form TCM fall at the first hurdle

A cup final hangover saw These Charming Men fall to an opening day defeat at White Hawk FC.

TCM always looked second best and musst improve dramatically if they are to mount any sort of challenge in Division 1.

RDCM is rapidly trying to offload a couple of players to improve club funds.

Bristol City - Business as Normal

Bristol City Manager Paul Stevenson is unusally quite after seeing his team beat Kensington Boys Club 2-0 at Ashton Gate in front of a capacity home crowd in his first game in charge. Having watched the game the manager declined the usual after match press conference, instead retiring to his office for a quite cup of tea.

In an exclusive interview to the local rag the Evening Post, the manager said of the matter 'there are too many managers in division 1 bigging themselves up after winning their first games. I heard on the radio just now that the Gooners have the moodiest best striker in the division in Busquets even though he was not on the pitch. I was happy to offload that lad after his wild demands in the dressing room for slippers and thongs and for the wild temper tantrums after I banned him from eating sweets in the changing room. I am not sure how manager FMRealism can say he is the best when clearly the lad Lloyd Lipscombe who came to us as part of the deal played superbly on his debut and scored a cracking goal'.

'I also heard F.C. Greatness manager Darren Calvert banging on about his striker Martinus Benafri after he scored two goals. I have seen the replays and he is nothing special. The first goal hit his amazing large nose and went in without him knowing anything about it while the second was a rebounded shot which hit him on the ass. All I can say is that I hope he improves for our fixture on Friday otherwise my defence are going to have a field day with him'.

Benafri Does The Damage!

F.C. Greatness started off the season on a victorious note as Martinus Benafri scored both goals at Cedar Road.

The Hitmen have had a very impressive pre-season with Benafri grabbing goals left, right and centre. with only 4 goals scored last season the manger Darren Calvert believes he can light up the stage again. Can Benafri lead his team too promotion or will he flop again when when F.C. Greatness need him the most?

Gooners Stun Division One

All has been quiet from Highbury in recent weeks, although much has gone on behind the scenes. After an early exit from the cup Gooners went on to destroy each team they faced in the pre season, with form non existent in these games maybe there were signs this team could do well in division one afterall. Going into the away game against Strollers they had very low form and massive underdogs! The coach was confident going into the game though, so much so he planned to use it as a way to increase the players form

Mission accomplished, then Gooners took the three points and a bucket load of form from the game, yes certain players decreased and overall the form does not not look fantastic. It is those players that need said form that have it though and there were very few players that required training! It was not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination and it was the lowest skilled, lowest form player that stole the show.. Rocastle in what must be his final season won this one scoring two vital goals, and Gooners looked in control after the first found the net.

There was no Busquets on show, a player that Gooners blew their transfer budget on and that the manager has stated his belief that he is the best striker in the league and possibly one of the best players. Gooners now have a formidable frontline and a midfield capable of soring many goals... it will be an interesting season for Gooners who stated they would be happy with mid table finish. With no pressure on the team and with much talent on display they could be the suprise package of the season.

Next up is AJ Rovers, there will be a change of formation and personnel and with Gooners being the stronger team and form at high level.. the boss is confident of winning at Highbury. The real test comes after that and if they can start strong again this season they may find themselves in the running again.

Manager had this to say:
"It has been an interesting pre season and we now have the base to build upon for the future, to replace Bergkamp and Henry was never going to be an easy task but we now have young players capable of learning their trade alongside these two legends. Fabregas and Busquets are players capable of walking straight into the starting eleven and have many many years of improvement ahead of them. Although Bergkamps and Henrys best seasons are still ahead of them, and we look very strong next season, with improvements expected all around Gooners will possibly be playing its highest level of football to date.

The key is to remain competetive and add a longer shelf life to the team.. it has not been easy. There may be one more addition to the team in the form of a young defender, we already have the next generation in Wellington Silva in midfield and now is he right time to think about the defence, this is a team that must grow together. Lipscombe is a plyer i never saw myself selling which speaks volumes about Busquets... but again we must replace Lipscombe and the scouts are very busy.

This will be our hardest season for sometime, I have weakend the side slightly but it will become stronger next season and if we can do well now, we will be a force to be reckoned with after the next change report with only minor changes to the team required!"

BOnkerS

Bonkers pulled off the usual hair pulling, nail biting display that have become so normal for them. A 2-2 draw was maybe the best they deserved. Not such a bad start to the season but better results will be needed for this to be viewed as a good season. The old bangers team (legends are old) seem to be the team to chase but we will see if they can keep a bunch of old geysers alive all season. on the other hand the bonkers team continue on their team building. next up is Morley. Should be a good game.

Coach Concedes Goal

It may have taken 95 minutes but the Crimea River kiddies have already crushed the head coaches dreams of finishing the season goal-less as Dahbi Mansour crashed home their only shot on target.

"Very disappointed proclaimed a clearly disappointed River head coach post match, "we only had one goal this season and that was to finish with no goals. Sadly now we have one goal which renders the one goal we did have pointless. Hopefully we will have more success in reaching our pointless goal. Which was our other goal before the season started."

Good start

With Juventus kicking off at the London Gunners this season Juventus under new management wanted to get off to the best possibly start. A very tight match saw Juventus's best player get injured however they held off the opposition to hold onto a 1-0 win. A tough game against st omer next. Even though they did get beat the manager came out disappointed saying he will shake things up.

Rubbish

Cony Tottee was disapointed with his sides 3 - 0 defeat at home to PSV Eindhoven.
Despite just edging possession, St Omer never looked like scoring and were easily beaten.
Next up is a tough trip to Juventus and Cony looks sure to mix his team up a bit.

Slow Start

Arsenal where held to a 2-2 draw at home against a well prepared Splott Rovers. Brown is left wondering if he could of got more from the game if they didn't lose their best defender after only 3 minutes of action, Vidic is now set to miss 10 days and Brown was left wondering why he picked an 18/5 as the only back cover?

Full credit to SP though as they came with a good plan and countered us pretty well. The next few games will be tough as Arsenal are now really weak at the back.

Shay Given for sale?

After Paddy Mckeever was overheard on his mobile telephone saying "Shay Given is for sale" We asked him two questions.

1.Is Shay Given for sale?
Paddy: "Yes he is, I made a massive mistake signing Jeffrey Kent and we have no chance of challenging for the title so I decided if the price is right Shay Given will leave the club, if however he doesn't sell and I don't recieve a suitable offer from within the league then he can continue on at the club and we'll just try and stay up and build for the season after that"

2. Is Kilie_gers aka "Willy_purse" gay and are his attacks a desperate attempt to hide his obsession with all things homosexual?
Paddy: "Probably, he tried to touch me up once but that doesn't neccessarily make him gay, after all I am irresistable. I did however walk in on him and saw him on his knees in front of a naked Dave Benson Phillips and was clearly pleasuring him, he said he just did it to get an autograph though, so does that make him gay?"

Press Release relating to football.

The Pink Bus boss did not attend tonights press conference. He has enrolled in X11 university where he is being educarted in the ways of the game and learn all about X11 ettiquette. It has been suggested that he spends too much time talking about non-footballing issues, he wanted to rectify this forthwith.

His thoughts on this afternoons game were distributed to the press using the medium of paper. This release will be used as part of his coursework so he wanted it to be perfect. Here are the thoughts of the manager...

Press Release relating to Football.

Today, my team Pink Bus Riders Football Club, took to the football field where we embarked on what can only be described as a footbal match with another football club using a football.

The football players representing the football clubs kicked the football around the football field. Some footballers managed to kick the football into the goals at each end of the football field thus scoring goals.

The football supporters within the football ground enjoyed watching the footballers kick the football around the football field and regularly chanted slogans such as "Come on Pink Bus Riders Football Club! Kick the football!" and "That 18/4 youth is something else isn't he?"

At the end of the football match the footballers ceased kicking the football and left the football field using their football boots to grip the football field. As they were walking off, a 19/5 defender with ice cool and header shook hands with a 23/7 midfielder with goal instinct. It was all very touching.

The end.

The Pink Bus gaffer is hoping he shall receive an A* for this particular piece of coursework and hopes he will be accepted into the X11 fold.

Sweet and Sour

Its good to see the team record a fine victory. I expect us to be competitive in this league and at a push promotion may be a possiblity. The league is littered with young teams which is good for the entire RM Invitational.
Today we started with a good victory against St Omer. I felt we tactically spot on and remained good discipline through out.
On the down side, I feel we now have 1 too many midfielder and Im looking to off load one or two including Timmy Simons who was impressive tonight.
Also not too happy with Rory picking up and injury. Perhaps it might be good to have large squad afterall.
We wont be disappointed to keep it as it is, so that after completing 75% of our fixtures we will concentrate on those who look good for the CR.

In terms of season targets who havent really spoken about that yet. For now lwts just enjoy our game and find out who our best players are.

Anime Allstars FC win Cup Final !

Going into the end of season cup Anime Allstars FC only had one goal and that was to avoid a first round exit like last time round.
Joshy was in wonderland as they went all the way to the final not even top flight giants could beat them over 90 minuets. Sure Anime pushed their luck at times but they made it to the final none the less.

After the first leg the division 3 side had the advantage as it finished 1-1 in a close match. The away goal though would prove priceless as the sides went into another deadlock in the second leg.
It was so that Anime only shaved it on chances too 6-5 but the final score was 1-1 on aggregate, Anime winning with the away goal from the first leg.

Manager Joshy remained calm despite being over joeys after winning the cup final but his feet also remained on the ground as he had this to say…

“ Its an epic achievement for the club. Few teams from division 3 could even make it to the final let lone win it. The players have done me and the supporters proud. We are all set and ready for the new season and winning the cup will add real drive to all the players for the new season I cannot describe how happy and proud I am to win the cup final. I have bragged before that I am a top class tactical magician and winning this cup only backs up my claims. My future for now stays with Anime and as for the squad I have no plans, we might look to the youth system for a new young keeper but that will be it or possibly an extra free-kick taker. Again though we are a shinning example of what can be achieved, no goal is too big when you believe that it is possible and I knew deep down If we got it right we would always have a chance no matter who we played. “

kick-off

AJ Rovers will travel to meet African Imitation in their opening league game for RM Invitational Division 1. After several seasons playing in this division, the management agree to throw the challenge to the players. the challenge is to qualify for Premier League next season.

Bristol City Team Shaping up Well

Bristol City Manager Stevenson has confirmed his team is shaping up well for the first fixture of the new season against Kensington Boys Club. In an exclusive interview for the local rag the evening post, the manager confirmed that the remaining players who are receiving special form training will finish on the eve of the match.

'Unfortuantely this leaves me with a selection dilemma since all the players have been training well. Luckily this will the my first match in charge and the opposition manager will not knwo which of my special tactics I will use on the day. This could play to my advantage and hopefully produce a win'.

Season Nears

Santos FC are ready to kick off the new season at RM Invitational.With an even stronger and competitive league this year, the team and the manager know to have a good start to the season and win games consistently. More depth at forward has been purchased to re-ignite the former offensive juggernaut that is the Santos!

Kick-Off Looms

Totaalvoetbal go into the new RMI season slightly below par form-wise but excited nevertheless following a long off-season.

After finishing second last season the natural progression is for the men from Metelo Park to aim for first but Robin Meeblind is taking nothing for granted.
"With so many good managers and teams around you just have to aim for a strong campaign," began the manager.

"So many things have to go your way to be crowned champions and you have to put in a performance near perfection as a manager as Eagles proved last term.

"I'm just pleased we are starting the season. It's time to get back down to business."

Almost Ready

Town News

Morley manager Leeg21 has said his team are almost ready for the upcoming season, Morley face a tough opener against AC Milan but after an excellent change report, some fund raising in the close season and a hefty sum of money in the bank to spend on one or two new arrivals Morley are looking pretty strong, Morley manager Leeg21 had this to say:

"We know it wont be easy this season, the opposition will be far tougher and with the exception of Crimea River there will be no easy games and guaranteed three pointers, AC Milan knocked us out of the pre-season cup so it is going to be a difficult opening game, but we are confident though and we hope we can kick the season off with a win"

this seasons ambition?

Paulc333 wants to make it clear to all Crimson Tigers fans that the only ambitions this season are to try to avoid relegation and try to build the squad again for next season, it's not going to be easy surviving at this higher level but we will do everything we can to survive.

ready to defend title

Viking Land News

The Vikings are well prepared for the start of the new season as they try to defend the RMI title, it's not going to be easy as again there are a lot top teams and top managers but the club have been well prepared for the season, training has put the club on good form, cash is available if required and the arrival of young striker Sheridan gives the manager a headache, but a good one!

First Game

Arsenal DB have been keeping a low profile over the last week or so as they recover from being knocked out of the cup in the Semi's. Over the last week Brown has transfer listed Vela and Balaban and has sent out a "come and get em" message to all managers.

Arsenal have alos proced a fine looking talent in the form of Moser, a 17/4 MF who always works hard in training. With form at a pretty decent level Brown will be hoping for a strong start this season and he will contuine to push his youth players as much as he can

Drop? Lets!

With the new season mere days away Crimea River appear to have already secured the coveted 12th place before a ball has been kicked.

"That was the aim for the season so to have potentially achieved that before a ball has even been kicked is a fantastic achievement for such a young side," droned on the River head coach, "obviously you will get the usual clutch of jokers droning on about how great their tactics were and how they deserved to win after each match but, frankly, if we are not being cuffed four or five nil twice a week then, if I were the opposing manager, I'd be ashamed."

"Sure the new development value is a worry but as long as we make sure the likes of Ekwald, Standen, Mérida and Richardson are looked after then we should not stand to lose too much financially if the whole thing goes horrendously wrong."

Cup anticipation

After a closely fought 1-1 home draw against Anime Allstars, the scene is set for a nailbiting second leg at The Hayao Miyazaki Stadium.

TCM failed to make the most of their chances however a draw was a fair result after Chano Delgdos 28th minute goal was cancelled out by a N Narusegawa equaliser.

RDCM gave the following statement earlier today;

"Good luck to Joshy85 and his Anime Allstars side and may the best team win. I am trying something a little bit different for the 2nd leg which could either backfire badly, or on the other hand might just give use that extra edge to win the tie" :-*

Pre Season over

Despite being outmaneuvered by the Bully Boys defense, Kensington Boys Club managed a solid 3-1 win. Club Legend Alfie Whitley contributed greatly to the victory and the pre season can now be summarized. 2 wins and a draw in three games may look a great result compared to the season itself. But the results include an early exit from the RMI cup that still stings in the players minds.

Neraly there.

With only one friendly left before the new season, Cony Tottee today spoke about his expectations for the season.

Cony said 'Once again the aim to try and bring through the youngsters, although it would be nice to start winning some games as well instead of getting stuffed evry week'.

new season upon us

Bonkers have managed to sneek their manager out of the asylum today and announced the new season will be their best ever. The manager, still in his straight jacket, was brought infront of the press to announce that there will be no major changes at the club before the season starts. Apparrently, the owners went on a spending spree and bought themselves a couple of hotels and such, and therefore, can not give the team any finances to buy new players. But who needs them anyway. The team has developed well and will hopefully start to gel together and play to their potential. First up, some blood thirsty tigers. Bonkers hope to continue the decline in the numbers of these rare creatures but killing off the Crimson Tigers.

Anime Allstars Light up Cup

Its been quite in the Joshy camp lately for media stories so what better way then to come out and talk with gathered media to answer a few questions and give a little speech on the clubs progress. Anime Allstars FC were the unlucky team from division 3 who just missed out on promotion. Their slow and sloppy start to the season cost them dear in the end but manager Joshy played down the idea they were a promotion canidate to begin with. Their excellent run in at the end of the season had Crimson Tigers looking over their shoulder.

Now in the end of season cup thier great run continues in a cup that has some rather special rules. Anime Allstars made their exit from this cup last season in the first round following a tricky draw. This time things were rather different. They got a good first round draw and faced FCR Cressex and beat them 3-0 at home. Villan_Ras will be glad to see the back of Joshy after last season after putting 7 goals past them over the home and away match. Up next was Kensington Boys Club and Anime Allstars held them to a 0-0 but sneaked it on away chances. The odds of Anime Allstars getting this far were low and up next they faced top flight giants OAP Pop Punk but in a brilliant spirited display found themselves 2-0 up only to let the giants back in at 2-2 but the Anime's assult on goal was enough to see them progress again. Upnext was another top flight giant in the form of AFC Stanley. This time Anime showed they were made of steal as they came back from going behind twice to finish all sqaure at 2-2 again Anime only just progressing on chances created on goal. The football community was left shocked the small timers from bottom division 3 had some how made it to the cup final and faced the talented manager RDCM and his These Charming Men team. Joshy knew he was no fool and expected a grulling chanllenge at the Irregulars Arena.

The Final soon got under way and the home side as you can guess got off to a good start a few chances rained in on Anime's goal was soon under attack just the woodwork kept the sides level until on the 28th minutes the home side got their deserved goal making it 1-0. Again after halftime Anime would show why they were in the final and shaked off a few more efforts on goal. 9 minutes into the second half Naru made it all sqaure at 1-1. Anime would again hold out as it finished 1-1 but it also ended 5-3 on chances created. Joshy in confusion over the rules for the cup final is unsure if this is the end ?

You have to give this plucky manager the benifit of the doubt here folks who could of gussed Anime Allstars would light up the end of season cup ?

Its time to get the rule book out for Joshy if this is the end then he would like to say this...

" Congratulations to RDCM, you are a talented manager and your side make great winners, good luck in comming new season. "

If this is not the end but only the half way point in this cup final Joshy wishes RDCM good luck for the second part of the final but who will win ?

The might of the top flight RDCM or the gutsy Joshy ?
in my eyes they are both winners and send out a brilliant message to all managers out there for RDCM its a case of making your team play to their exspectations, or in Joshy's case showing all managers out there what a 6 skill bar team can achieve !!!

new season

RM INVITATIONAL league will start next week. In division 1, AJ Rovers will travel to meet African Imitation. Hopefully this opening match will boost the morale of the players and they will bring back three points from there. once again, this season Rovers aiming to get the promotion. good luck to AJ Rovers!

A game for the youths

The Smurftastic Smurfs have signed up for what is likely to be their final friendly before the new season. We have accepted a game against Crimson Tigers as this will be an excellent opportunity for us to play a lot of the youths and see how they are developing, expect a strange line up with some key players missing for this friendly.

A week in the life of a traitor.

"Again, I would like to extend a hand of apology to everyone involved in this fine league. My actions both last night and this very morning were childlike, pathetic and embarrassing. Aj, I am sorry" stated the Pink Bus manager as he read from a script printed off from www.ironicapologies.com/icantbelievepeoplethoughtitwasarealargument.

"Moving on. I notice that Ithaqua has not offered his apoogies. This does not surprise me in the slightest, this arrogant swine is a scoundrel of the highest degree who is taking everyone here as mugs"

"I have managed to obtain a print out of a segment of his diary. I will now make this document available to the press"

The RIders boss handed out several sheets of paper to the assembled press entitled "The DIary of Ithaqueer - the pompous arse". The document read...

Monday - Today I travelled to RMI HQ to pick up my random VIP prize. Luckilly I knew about this several months ago and was able to book a Travelodge for £19. I penned some poetry this evening, it was a bit gay, but I loved it. I went to bed and dreamt of my new life as a VIP.

Tuesday - This morning I logged on to the scribble, I conversed with some non-VIP managers, they really are pure filth. I loathe them. This afternoon I abused Kilie for no reason, he is much better looking than me but I can't admit it in public.

Wednesday - Today I sat down in my dining room and practiced talking in a pompous and arrogant manner. I feel I have this down to a fine art. This evening I devoured some pretentious food and scribed some more pointless and self-important poems. I really am a tosser.

Thursday - More poetry and self absorbed nonsense. I learned how to verbally vomit on people who do not purchase VIP memberships. I also sucked up to the RMI admin team, hopefully this will assist me in winning future "random" VIP prizes. Even the VIP members of this league are taken in by act, thy are as docile as the non-VIP'ers. Idiots, the lot of them.

Friday - Today I went to counselling to try and rid myself of my jealousy over Kilie_gers' journalistic talent. He really does know how to draw people in to his accurate reports. I wish I could scribe like he, I will have to settle for yet more toffee-nosed and stuck up poetry...I really am a cock.

Weekend - I managed to get Kilie and Aj into trouble today on the scribble. I laughed maniacally as they were scolded in public. My plan to turn the whole RMI against these 2 peasants appears to be working. On Sunday night I bought myself a new book called "Superfluous words", I plan on using such words in the scribble over the next week to ensure people realise how educated and up my own arse I am.

"Now you have had the chance to read this gentlemans inner most thoughts, I hope you can now see him for what he is. He hates us all" squealed the enraged Riders boss.

"Can I also point out that I have not mentioned bottys or willies in this whole PR, just want to make that clear" mumbled the gaffer.

The manager then left the room in a normal fashion, saying nothing and in no way abused any of the stadium staff.

BIG Match..BIG Hope

I can't believe that we will meet TotalFootball in their first fixtures. They are much much much better than us. The have balance skill players in all positions.

Even though this gonna be tight match for us but I still positive and confident that all my boys gonna do something crazy!??

Pahang News.

All Quiet

With an unexpected good cup run Stanley are hard training there players as too many have the red arrows . New signing Takuboku Yojimbo has slotted straight into the team a things look good for the new signing from Japan although he is still struggling with the language .

With maybe one friendly planned before the start of the new season and no plans for any incoming transfers things are pretty quiet for the Garden Street club.

How To Write a PR Like...

Welcome to a new series of articles that may or may not stretch beyond one. In this series we hope to teach you how you can write PR's of such eloquence as would make grown men weep.

The first candidate was obvious, noted for his 'humorous' writing style a MANager who has made his name writing only one PR ever. Seriously. And soon you too will be able to write a PR like our very own Kilie_gers simply by following this step-by-step guide. Simply copy and paste the appropriate text, replacing italicised portions and et-voila, one PR and 200k econs
Paragraph 1

The gaffer flounced into the press room dressed in and bellowed .
Paragraph 2

"Fellow managers, just when I thought things could get no worse I witnessed . And I was ".
Paragraph 3

"But ," squealed while .

Paragraph 4
Step 1:

As I was walking past I happened to take a look inside and saw (NB try and make up some amusing rhyming names) involved in what can only be described as

Step 2:

Have you mentioned bottoms, willies or noncing 12.8 times? If no repeat step 1, if yes proceed to paragraph 5
Paragraph 5

Close with mock disgust, an appeal to fellow managers and abuse of stadium staff.

And now hopefully you too can now write a PR like Kilie_gers.

Season Approaching

With everything quiet at Metelo Park the club was at pains to come up with anything interesting to warrant their 200k econ reward for writing a press this week.

So in fact, they haven't.

With the players' forms improving the club is now looking forward to the start of the season and a trip to new boys, Pahang.

Is 'City' Manager the only sane one?

Newly renamed Bristol City manager pbstev is today wondering if he is the only sane person in manager HQ today after witnessing some very strange goings on's. If it was not bad enough that some of the other managers are wandering around stabbing each other in the backs for no good reason at all, some of the dress on show is worrying to say the least.

'I have witnessed one manager in a tight black dress and black veil with a killer pair of black patent leather high heels. Another in a funny look suit with a 'pull handle to release flap' on the ass and a newly opened 'managers love room' where the kitchen used to be. Maybe it is me who is insane! Well I think I may just stand with my back against against the wall and ponder my new tactics for the season and think about the 3 out of 3 friendly wins I have had'.

Ith and his fancy talk

"Look, I understand that Ith likes to see himself as some kind of literary mastermind as well as some kind of fashion guru" blurted out the clearly fuming Pink Bus gaffer.

"I have just read his latest PR, well I tried, but I couldn't get through the pretentious use of language and superfluous word-useage"

"I wouldn't mind if Ithaqua actually had the first clue what he was talking about. He uses these fancy and posh words like he is some kind of upper-class Squire. However, the truth is a much more deressing tale"

"When Ithaqua received his random (random my fat arse) VIP membership from Eagles, it came with a "How to teach yourself to talk posh...whilst coming across as a nobhead...and a gay" cassette. Since then, Ithaqua has been listening to this cassette on his walkman and has been teaching himself some new fancy words." the manager claimed.

"So, people, Ithaqua is not actually as educated as he likes to make out. In actual fact, he is a simple minded oaf who cannot tie his own shoe-laces without having to trawl google looking for diagrams to help"

"He harps on about his Saville Row suit in his latest PR. Who is he trying to kid? I saw him steal that suit from a skip behind the Bernado's charity shop"

"In short, Ithaqua is not a posh, well dressed man about town. He is, in fact, a simple-minded village-idiot who dresses like a vagrant"

"Do not be taken in by this imposter, he cannot be trusted"

The gaffer then opened up the message from Barfin's Mrs in his inbox, his jaw dropped to the floor at the photo he received. "Christ, she is a saucy one" he whispered.

Aj exposed...and not in the good way.

The Pink Bus gaffer was left reeling after Ajtradesmensentrance shed his inhibitions and verbally attacked him in his latest PR.

"People, we have now seen the true colours of this ape. He is nothing but a liar who seems intent on besmirching my good name. He claims that I am, in his own eloquent words, "a bummer!" he proclaimed

"What makes you think that I am a homeoeoeosexual? You seem to be confusing manliness with gayness. I enjoy studying the form of atheltic gents in the park, I enjoy being naked with other men whilst I muse over the problems faced by the world, I enjoy sitting next to other masculine beings on the bus even though there are spare seats available...none of these things make me a bum-lord. They just prove that I am supremely confident in my straightness"

"Now, I turn my attention to your claims that the RMI noncers have not been near you. You, Sir, are a liar! I have mobile phone footage of you meeting up with Nobbin and GaySchlong at the local ice-rink. You were receiving training from these 2 for your starring role in the up-coming RMI TV production...Noncing on Ice" he squealed.

"In this particular programme, you show the RMI admin that you are ready to be accepted into their crew... by furiously noncing innocent RMI managers...on ice!. You do this whilst Ithaqua watches...scribing poetry as he witnesses the horrendous act of molestation"

"It would appear that I really am alone in all of this. I have no allies or friends. I shall take this struggle head on...but hear this, Aj will doubtless spout a lot of nonsense over the coming days as he lashes out at me. He needs to accept he has joined the ranks of the RMI bum-lords...and that I am the only one with any morals in this whole sordid affair"

The boss then exited the room, sent another photograph of his magnificent wanger to Barfins Mrs and muttered "She can't get enough"

Ger Having A Laugh

The Crimea River press box was awash with nonchanlance as River head coach Ithaqua, arriving finely dressed in a dapper and crisply pressed Saville Row suit, strutted confidently to his awaiting throne at the summit of the awaiting throng.

Coughing lightly to clear his throat the immaculately manicured and well spoken River head coach addressed the unwashed throng of reporters,
"Gentlemen, thank you for coming today. I realise many have been waiting with breath baited in the hopes of snaring a silver darling of a comment from my good self regarding the latest poisonous outburst from uncouth, and not VIP, yobbish yob, one Mr Kilie_gers."
"We all bore witness last season as _gers tirelessy worked to expose wrongdoing within the league. And yes, yes we all enjoyed the very infrequent chuckle at the poor prose, terrible grammar and third grade spelling along the way. But no longer can I stand idly by as the good names of good people, and good upstanding VIP's, like Robinmeeblind, Eaglesrjh, Solongsuperman and myself are besmirched and, in some cases, blatantly poorly rhymed."
"Just look at the press today as Kilie accuses AJ of forsaking him when a mere few days ago Kilie himself callously dismissed Aj's feeling for him as casually as one may casually dismiss their servant from a swingers party that one might have organised last night. And Did Kilie stop there? Did he I ask you? No I answer. No he did not. Not content with viciously emasculating our long time friend, and comedy straight man, Kilie asked, nay forced, AJ to participate in the sickening goading of the ravishing, foxy and deliciously VIP, Daisy_D."
"What kind of man would force another man, a man who clearly loves and idolises the other man after the other man has cold-heartedly rejected the man, to aid in faux pursuit of the object of the other mans faux attentions? I honestly do not know. But what I do know is that that man would not be VIP. And that that man is Kilie_gers."
"Today gentlemen, today I am here to set the record straight. Today I will expose the lunatic behind the man. Today I will regale you with a tale of treachery, mistaken identity and a smattering of in-jokes that few will understand. So gather round the metaphorical fire and listen carefully as I tell the tale called The Ballad of Kilie_gers."
"A long time ago in a galaxy league far, far away..."

When two become one.....

Spice Girls song acts as back-drop for war.

It could've been love, but it's over now. The MSE 3 have disintergrated following reports and revelations about Ithaqua's love of V.I.P. and poetry; scandal surrounding ajtraders' affection for possible bum-loving; whilst Kilie remains on a one-man crusade against all administrators and league moderators.

So what happened to the happy-go-lucky threesome? Well sometimes it's as easy for people to fall out of love as they fall into love. Rumours have surfaced about ajtrader concerning possible underhand tactics to secure success in the RMI, as Kilie reported on affection bestowed upon him by members of the RMI crew. Trader has vehemently denied these allegations and tonight reveals that Kilie's jealousy has finally turned trader against his former associate.

"He keeps asking me questions, ones that I don't want to answer. Sexual questions, via email. It's a little disconcerting if I'm honest. The RMI bummers have got nowhere near my back passage, and it's just jealousy on Kilie's part that he has struggled in a tough league of batty boys."

There have been highs and lows in the relationships of Kilie Ithaqua and Trader, after seeing off the accusations of the MSE Mafia, to parting company with the league that brought these three scoundrels together.

"I just don't know Ith anymore. He's happy to make daisy chains, smoke dried banana skins and write homo-erotic poetry. He's changed, probably too much." Mused the bedraggled trader.

Perhaps the glory days are over, and now it's time to show Kilie_gers the real Trader, one who isn't afraid to say what he thinks, and this is what he thinks.

"I think Kilie, may in fact, be a bummer."

Has AJ turned against Kilie?

The press assembled at the home of the Pink Bus this evening after an uncharacteristic and unwarranted outburst against the Riders manager from the Special Ones MKII boss Ajtradesmensentrance.

Kilie has been in a deep depression since his long term friend Ithaqua turned on him so viciously last week. Kilie has been going into the shower, turning on the cold water, sitting under the water, naked of course, with his knees tucked up under his chin...he has been wailing "Why Ith? Why? How could you do what you did?"

It has been suggested that Kilie's only friend in the RMI, Aj, was the managers last hope for a meaningful, lasting relationship. However this evening events appear to have poured scorn on this.

The Riders boss walked slowly into the press room, in a tight black dress and black veil with a killer pair of black patent leather high heels. He appeared to be in mourning.

"So, Aj, what has happened? All I wanted was a gladatorial, masculine football match against your fine team of gentlemen...however you have turned this into a way to attack and ridicule me"

"You talk about my wish to be with Daisy_D. Is this really so bad? Is it wrong that I get a semi-on when she tells me off? Is it wrong that get moist when she tells me to behave myself? Is it wrong that I peak at an earth-shattering orgasm when she docks me penalty points? Exactly, no it isn't!" he roared.

"Why have you turned on me so swiflty Aj?" he pondered. "Have you joined ranks with Ith? Are you planning on going VIP with him? Are you going to forget your roots and join up with that poetry-writing shirt-lifter? It wouldn't surprise me to be totally honest, you always favoured him" he wept.

"Answer me!" he demanded. "Answer me Aj, are you joining the VIP admin crew? Is this what this is all about? Have Eagles, Nobbin, Cocks and GaySchlong enticed you with promises of endless gayity in the RMI admin team? Has Ith wooed you with one of his sexually charged poems? They have, haven't they?"

"I arranged a friendly with you because I wanted to cement our bond...instead you publically throw this back in my face. I damn you for making me feel this hurt...this endless pain"

"Well, t'would appear that I am alone now in my fight against noncism in this league. I shall not give up though...I shall overcome. I shall beat you all...incuding you Aj. You treacherous piece of filth"e

The Riders boss then left the room, took out his mobile phone and took a photo of his phallus. He swiftly keyed in the number of Barfin's Mrs and clicked send. "That will go down well" he mused.

Is Kilie yanking my chain?

Pink Bus Riders FC challenge the Special Ones MKII

In an unlikely turn of events Kilie_gers, friend and fellow MSE ex-pat, challenged the almighty god of Xpert Eleven, ajtrader100 via email today. At first the Riders manager asked for a thumb-war outside the back of the local Clarkes shoe shop in the town centre, however due to Kilie's ASBO the fight has had to be postponed until he is allowed back into town once it expires.

In response to the set-back trader decided to see if Kilie would fight in a game of Ro Sham Bo, but after losing the toss Kilie chickened out, stating he has to protect his family jewels just in case he finally strikes it lucky with DaisyD.

Finally the two settled on a game of football between their respective sides.

Of course, trader will win. Kilie will look silly. So not much changes after the match then.

Time for action

Paulc333 is increasingly becoming aware that time for action with this team is now. Its not long till the new season and all the tough decisions are still to be made. Clemens failed to sell when listed for a high price but is now attracting bids when the price was set lower. A trade within the league is still possible though as the manager looks to strengthen for the new season.

Money Burning A Hole In My Pocket

Town News

Morley manager Leeg21 has money to spend but cant seem to find anyone good enough to buy, Division 2 will be a far tougher challenge for Morley and will need to bolster their squad if they are to survive more than one seasonn the Division.

In other news...

After a recent day out to watch England's cricket team play India at Headingley, Maart Kuiper's mood is positive after enjoying a good day out with friends and receives a boost in form.

Down and No Doubt

Quiet times at Crimea River following the decision of head coach Ithaqua to blow almost 6 million econs on one player.

Having reshaped an almost entire squad during Silly Season expectations are low round the Theatre of Tragedy as River prepare to descend to the lowest tier of RMI leagues and many, many, many seasons of challenging Tottenham Hotspur and St Omer for the honour of propping up all the other RMI sides.

Though with both Tottenham and Omer enjoying several seasons more development than River it looks like only one team will be enjoying that honour for about the next 48 seasons.

Through to the final

TCM continued their excellent preseason with a solid 2-1 victory against Arsenal DB in the Preseason Cup Semi Final.

Despite going behind to an early Fabregas freekick, a second half fightback saw TCM equalise through Shaun McFadden, before a winner from Man of the Match Jorgé Carril put the home side into the final.

Having beaten Bully Boys 1-0, Crimson Tigers 4-0 and Abu Dhabi 3-0 since being given a cup reprieve, can TCM go on and beat Anime Allstars in the final?

Arsenal sent crashing out of the cup

Arsenal were sent out of the cup as they lost 2-1 away against These Charming Men. their first defeat in 12 games was a bit hard to take but TCM played very well indeed, Brown hopes they do well in the final and Arsenal will try again next season

friendlies

Splott Rovers are travelling to St. Omers ground for a second time after other friendly options fell through. Manager CM said he didn't mind as he knows a nice pub in the area and he can have a few pints while the game goes on. St. Omer always give us a warm welcome and we hope it's another great game.

nothinh happening

All quiet at Smurftastic Smurfs at the moment, out of the cup and now just waiting for the new season, a few more friendlies may be played and training will continue for all players, there is still the possibility of a purchase but only for the right player at the right price.

New season

With only a couple of friendlies left, Cony Tottee is looking forward to the new season.

Hopefully his young team can pick up a feww more victories this season and perhaps look to finishing in the top half of the table for a change.

Cony is not holding his breath though.

press

As has been told before AC Milan will be showing their strnght in division 2 this season. ''The previous manager know why he had left a team two seasons ago... But now we already complete squad replacement with younger players and now we are already one of the youngest with average age of 24. The goal for this season is to climb back to division1.''

Interview with a manager - Leeg21

I caught up with Morley Town boss Leeg21 and he kindly answered a few questions:
Paddy: "Hi Lee, so you've been with your club since the very beginning, how would you describe your time in charge of Morley Town?"

Leeg21: "I would have to say it has been quite a struggle, but the hard work has finally paid off with promotion but we need to avoid relegation next season."

Paddy: "Last season saw your side stay unbeaten longer than anyone else, what would you say the secret of that success was?"

Leeg21: "I thought we were the strongest side in the division but the main reason was because we had players in every position scoring goals and a midfield that seemed to be able to create goals at will."

Paddy: "After achieving promotion, what are your plans for next season?"

Leeg21: "Our aim is to achieve a safe mid-table position, though at the very least we need to avoid relegation, it's taken long enough to win promotion from Division 3, to end up back there after one season would be a disaster."

Paddy: "What would you say has kept you interested in management all this time?"

Leeg21: "I'm a very competitive person and so have been kept interested in management because of my struggle to win promotion from the bottom division."

Paddy: "Gwilym Cullip has made an incredible 85 appearances under your management, how would you rate his contribution over the years?"

Leeg21: "His contribution has been fantastic, he is a role model to all our younger players and hopefully he will make it to 100 appearances and make him a true legend at the club."

Paddy: "Who would you say is the heartbeat of your side?"

Leeg21: "Mitchell Pennock, he has been a rock at the heart of my defence and as our captain he has lead the team to Division 2 with his consistently impressive displays."

Paddy: "You've seen Art Boyle grow up at this club and with 76 appearances to his name at just the age of 25, how would you rate his chances of becoming a legend in the club?"

Leeg21: "There is no doubt he will become a legend. Like a fine wine he just gets better with age. It also helps that he can play anywhere on the pitch."

Paddy: "What would you say is your management philosophy?"

Leeg21: "I don't think you need a management philosophy, some people have a natural gift for management, and some don't."

Paddy: "Who is your favourite (real world) footballer of all time and why?"

Leeg21: "Would have to be Leeds legend Lucas Radebe, he stayed with the club through thick and thin, a born leader and he displayed a loyalty seldom seen in the modern game, he had chances to move on much like Matt Le Tissier, but he stayed on to help the club that made him."

Paddy: "Which player would you say is your brightest hope for the future?"

Leeg21: "Dustin Wotton, he is only 21 and has already scored 17 goals in 41 games, he's quick and good in the air so he will only go from strength to strength."
Thanks to Leeg21 for taking the time to answer my questions.
