WEV’E DONE IT!!
We have won a game of football and we won it in style. After so many attempts of trying to score we bagged 3 and only let in one. On a beautiful sunny evening with a near perfect pitch which was cut by the way. Both teams played at a fast pace considering the heat and it wasn’t long before we had a first chance with nick and Steve up front combining well. Could be a combination for next season with Steve slotting himself in the right positions and nick charging around covering every blade of grass wanting to win every tackle. We had won a free kick after 20 minutes on the edge of their box and whilst MBDA were lining up their wall Bully surprisingly passed directly to Phil (when did that last happen) who was loitering just outside the D. A first time strike saw the ball fly in to the goal pass the keepers bottom left post. One nil KNOBS and we had our tails up. We were playing some free flowing football to feet against a MBDA side that were short of first team players, but still gave a good account of themselves. Another combination between nick and Steve I think brought us our second. Please remind me otherwise. They had a well taken chance which ended up in the top corner of good Tony’s net and so it ended 2 1 at half time. I said a load of old bollocks in the interval and some others chipped in. The second half started as sprightly as the first with us playing downhill. A few substitutes were made to keep it fresh and they all slotted in quite well. Apologies to Chris C who was subbed twice but got 2 long spells out of the game. We had some good chances in the second half notably Dan who had a one on one with the keeper and nipped the ball passed him with a gaping goal getting smaller by the yard. They smacked one against our bar and it was frantic to say the least. Nick scored our third from a lovely passing move. A few people were blowing out their arses by mid half and some more subs were made to keep a good balance which I thought we had through most of the game. Time will tell whether we will be challenging for anything next season. More than likely not, but hey it’s good to put a pair of boots on or high heels if your that way inclined. Keep fit my lovelies and I will see if I can get a game at Southend before the season starts. Pre-season training will commence after England are out of the World Cup which will probably be the 25th of June.
Ciao Bella
Goodbye Sir Ronald

Great performance gentlemen. There was a togetherness at last. Roll on next season
Any coincidence Darren wasn't there ?
Sack Dave the lemon.
I was impressed with what I saw. We need to make sure Nick plays and build around his Scrappy-Doo aggression. We have a good spine when all fit.
With a win ratio of 28% this year, the playing stats do not look impressive but here is the team of the year based on a minimum of 8 appearances (half the season) and their win %.
1. Tony C - 50%
2. Chairman Al - 46%
3. Brendan Walkden - 19%
4. Darren Aldrich - 25%
5. James Hobbs - 35%
6. Tony K. - 24%
7. Chris Cox - 29%
8. Nick H.- 45%
9. Paul Matthews - 37%
10. Gavin Simpson - 27%
11. Martyn Brown - 27%
Clearly we can see that the rot started when Tony C. was injured. His vocal prowess and motivational skills are vital for next season.
Football is a stats. game these days. Read them and weep.
I think the new management team will revolutionise the side next season with their use of modern techniques to improve performance in a way that can be measured for the player of today. This along with their use of progressive tactics and a strategy that will provide targeted information on nutrition, training and fitness should see the team achieve and exceed all of their planned objectives for next season.
Well done a victory on my last watch- even if a blind and absent one.
I miss it all already.
Where's me seaweed sandwich, oh there it is next to the Rioja.
Never mind win ratio, name the players who have played in every victory....
There wasn't one. We won 7 games and the most victories one person had was 5.
That shows the interest we had as a team this year. Which proves we wasn't a team at all.
I think that is wrong statto pls review your laffer curve
Do you have anyone in mind? I've had another look and I'm quite confident I'm right. I've just seen that James Hobbs has featured in 6 victories. That's the closest we're going to get.
Has James managed to look over his shoulder and find Brendan yet. Not sure if he was looking over the right shoulder.
Gotta love Statto. Makes me as a keeper look good!!!!
Average goals a game let in this season: 2.96 - with Tony C in goal: 1.8. Big difference.
Tony hardly played a game so where's the difference. You know fuck all
Tony played over a third of the games. Therefore it makes his stats. valid. There were only 16 players that played over 8 games. That's probably a better reflection of our season...a lot of chopping and changing. On a secondary note, nice to see the blog being used!
i am available sunday
John Boyle is not on holiday so expect more useless shit on here.
The 7th victory was a walk over statto, 100% for the tall centre back! please set a more accurate example for your student disciples
You weren't whinging at safe hands when he won us the points at Sandridge
Im happy with that goals per game ratio. Coz that included 5 at MBDA.
My apologies. And every one can claim the walkover in their stats. so an increase in win ratios all round. Well done everyone. James Hobbs for Player of the Year!
THE END!
What can one say? Noone comes on this blog in summer may as well talk to oneself. Just the same in winter really, what's the difference?
