Lovely day, good turn out in the pub, general bonhomie so that's great.
Too much pre match merriment, get serious chaps because results are not terribly encouraging.
Choose a plan of play and stick to it for at least 15 minutes. THE PLAN, apart from the quick out ball when you have Andy, Gavin or a fit again Matt playing, should be an endeavour to win the ball and play some sort of passing game with it, but a passing game with a modicum of control.
Playing quick passes comes later. To begin just receive the ball, control it then pass it and hopefully move to a new receiving position. (Perhaps that's asking too much but is something to work toward!) Something simple is amiss because we are not individually that bad. It can't be just bad luck. Yet in 3 games we have been unrecognisable and have been stuffed. We gave it away far too many times through wayward, rushed, over hit or under hit passes. Whatever football we managed today looked strained, nay constipated. If we strung 3 or 4 passes together it looked
amazing- amazing that it could have actually occurred! They, in contrast flowed. They looked different class and yet they were the usual Owens side bar one quite skilful midfielder. They also, as did Saints last week, foraged, pressurised and closed down very well. We did not.
Good points were Trevor caught many crosses and saved us with blinding saves. The woodwork had a positive game for us. They also helped by missing a few. We had a couple of shots wide from distance and Chris Cox had an early sidefoot cleared off the line. Aught else?
Twiggy had a good 90 as linesman. Ron reffed. Bloke kept calling me 'dipstick'- what can you say? We lost all our balls up trees or damaged by the pumpsman.
This week's list of participants- Trevor
Alistair, Brendan, Tony, Dave
Darren A, Chris W, Steve B, Martin
Matt, Chris C subs: Paul, John. Darren H failed to show.
This week sees a day of golf, where every hole isn't a goal, on Friday, followed by an evening of merriment in the evening in that theatre of mirth the Station Hotel. Knobs 25th celebrations start here.
Next week another league game away to mighty Shephall in the new kit. Please bring your commitment. Howay the lads!

I forgot they constructed some nice goals. Some exquisite finishes.
Yet it's hard to guage their overall superiority due to our failing to turn up, wish I'd thrown away the dressing room key.

Sack the managers!!! They've lost the dressing room. I'm sure I saw it down Gun Lane.
What the fuck has gone wrong since last season?
Fucking losers take some responsibility you twats
No desire. No passion. No technical ability. No structure. No leaders. Nothing. Zilch.
Rallying cry 2-0 down- lets go to the pub.
All to play for.

I thought we played really well and apart from the 6 goals we were their equals!
Cant believe that someone thinks we were all worth an individual score i admit that trevor was our best player closely followed by the cross bar and post i would give us all a zero for effort and a zero for performance. We should forget about sunday and move on to the next game. Shephall old boys wont be easy i just hope we turn up as a team with ideas.
Oh, before I forget. Asda are doing an 8 pack of Cider ice lollies for only 50p. Get yourself some and if you enjoy them let me know Sunday and you can try some of my cider that I am cooking up.
Old Owens beat MBDA last week by the way.
Shephall lost their first game.
Just love each other on Sunday and all will be well. Remember when you are a vet it's a privilege, you never know if the next game is your last. So embrace it, after all you have the audacity to believe you can play the damn game at such advanced ages.
I've seen the league. Bottom of the table already. Sunday is a six-pointer. Shocking stuff. I think we should all remember the games at the beginning of the season when voting for Player of the Year. Trev has storming games and then as we improve he gets forgotten. He is the rock this team is built on. Vote Trevor for Player of the Year 2011/12. The campaign starts here!!!
Someone said Trev's first game of the season is his last..... forever!
true?
Who is playing next Sunday?
tuesday no invite for us.
Trevor?
Dave, your the manager, the clue is in the name. Your ment to come up with the fucking idea's
Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry
I have found a hedgehog, Dustbin and used tampon today, do we need them to play this week? The later are ok but the hedgehog only wants milk down the pub!
Dave, let's liven it up Sunday, £1 for the first free kick
Lets make it 2 pound you jessie
Have been up trees in Rec, 3 balls retrieved but no sign of Mark Mills.
how many players geting games have not payed the £20?
Tell us.
Name and shame these people who think they are bigger than the club
i am available sunday
Fuck off forgotten knob, you really pull my chain
Why are big knobs so aggressive?
They get right on my pip.
Tomorrow is golf day and drinks day. That will be good.
Is there a game on Sunday/?
I'll pay and play. I just love being beaten.
Alas poor Gerry, he's been tickled.
