BTW ATM AFAIK if stats man Rod is right, the Whites are sitting 4th after 6 rounds. OMG! WTF! LOL! (little old lady?) LMAO! JK! FFS!
enough of that bollocks. For the fourth time this season while shaking hands with the opposition I hear " geez we didnt play well" or "thats our worst game so far". Are the whites riding a golden wave of luck? Hardly. My theory is they arent playing well because we arent letting them. We are no longer the easy beats of the competition. Last years nightmare has galvanised the team, and its showing on the pitch.
The general mood after yesterdays game was it was our worst performance of the year, but hey, we are still at the stage of being eternally grateful for every point. To play like that, were we didnt get out of second gear at all, and still win, makes a nice change from 2009.
Another historic peformance. Our first ever clean sheet, so take a bow Dennis Grobbelaar, Local Historian, Handball, GG, Stiffarm and Vinnie (hows that one Dougie?). Both our goals came in the first half. After 20 minutes Stiffarms immaculately floated dead ball was pounced on by the Gaffer with pretty much his first touch of the game for a cool as a cucumber finish from 5 metres out. As the half drew to a close, the Lost A worked well with Slugger to find himself in space and deftly slid the ball in the low left hand corner from the edge of the box. Mr 21 also had a prime scoring opportunity, completely missing a corner with no one around him and giving away a handball instead. Oh well.
The second half didnt set the world on fire. Mostly it was the figtree no9 falling over in tackles, getting free kicks and missing the goal. Hope he brought the ref a beer after the match. We had fleeting moments, Jono should have opened his goal scoring account when another floated dead ball landed at his toes 2 metres out and couldnt beat the keeper. Gaffer went for glory in the closing stages with Mr 21 screaming for a cross (and eco warrior next to him unmarked, speak up Steve!) and ended up high wide and handsome. Byno and Andres (nickname pending) played strong all day and Hip Replacement got in the oppositions road at the right times.
The Whites march on. Not sure who we play next week......

Maybe some famous comments by Andres could lead to his nickname...
ReplyDeleteMonkey in Silk: "you can dress a monkey in silk but at the end of the day, its still a monkey"
Something about Dennis being old (ex-Middlesborough player not our new super goalie)
There are a few others but I cant recall them.
Maybe 1. Monkey in Silk 2. The Dentist 3. Plato
Lets stick with the monkey.......he's a funny bigger!
ReplyDeleteHow about "El Monkey"...whats monkey in Spanish...
ReplyDeleteEl Mono or El Mico
Maybe we should ask which one he prefers?
Support for Striker Jono: It was a good shot and a good save.
ReplyDeleteHere Here Jono.
ReplyDeleteWe love you...strikers always get the blame.
Long live the striker Jono
was Andres "El Nino" from a couple of weeks back?
ReplyDeleteHas Jono done enough to keep his coveted striker position? Other backs have expressed interest in having a crack up front. Tough decisions to be made this week by team hierarchy, all who are open to bribery.
Isn't 'El Nino' Liverpool's Torres or the global warming ocean currents?
ReplyDeleteI think El Mono sounds cool. Thats my vote.
I think GG should have a crack up front...but John is a good positional player...just that final touch...so close...
maybe even have a rotation policy to give everyone a go but this would be at the risk of completely losing our familiarity of structure!
tough call...thats why you are the manager AB12. I dont envy you.
I'm still thinking 'Stiffarm' has to go ... the Mako's player dived. End of story. New nickname please...
ReplyDeleteI think 'una magia' would be appropriate for Andreas.
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps .. 'la leyenda'
ReplyDeleteI dunno Rod, I heard the "thwak" of arm on chest from the half way line. Very Les Boyd.
