Anyone expecting the R1 to be a continuation of the CCL got that out of their system today. True, it finished Leafe 0 Tree 1 and kept us unbeaten, but the days of us going 1-0 up and the opposition capitulating are long, long gone. This was a tense, ugly game, full of tough challenges,
The run continues, though like last week Hurry Up Harry 3 Hersham Boys 1 was a little bit more laboured than necessary. While it wasn’t nearly like Horsham, you could have been forgiven for thinking that the pressure of keeping the run going is getting to the players a bit. And it started off pretty
Exciting. Invigorating. Edge-of-seat stuff. Just three expressions you couldn’t use when describing Green 2 Amber 0. I have no idea about the first half, I spent it talking about North Eastern cities with somebody, which was far more interesting. In fact, the only thing I remember was the much maligned Richard Butler looping over and
Jesuz christ. Horse 2 Cart 3 was not only a Get Out Of Jail Free card, but a free house in the poshe part of town, a guaranteed income of Chelski’s transfer budget, a knighthood in the Honours list and the phone number of the best French hookers in town wanting to practice their oral
It’s difficult to write about Athletic 1 Track and Field 3 without mentioning how wet it was. And it’s August. The game itself was I suppose how much of this season is likely to go : the opposition being far more up for it and more capable of getting a result, but us ultimately coming
[SW19 note: believe it or not, this post ended up causing a massive hoo-har, which even ended up with somebody from the club anonymously accusing me of lying on my own site. Until I caught them and identified exactly who they were. Result being said person was "shit scared" of what was to happen, and
The first day always brings excitement, anticipation and a few nerve jangling moments along the way. And today was no exception. I am of course talking about the Olympic boxing. Despite some iffy refereeing, it seems like the Cubans, Russians and Khazakstanis will be collecting the metal disks at the end (keep an eye out
So, what can I say about Oval 3 Lords 0? Well, firstly I could say that we had a goaline clearance after about 30 seconds. I could say that I was writing something down when Bolger made it 1-0 (I am told that it was a throw-in and a flick on by Butler). I could
As somebody outside said after the game, they can’t wait for the new season to start. And after Toilet 3 Bog 0 it’s probably not that surprising. Think about it, they’re two divisions higher than us and we managed to do what teams like Man U do – soak up the pressure, then hit them
Last season we wouldn’t have had a result like Tenants 1 Landlords 4, and especially one that could have gone either way before the last 10 minutes. But this season, with a mixture of new blood and last year’s decent talent, we came to their home ground and certainly matched them. And this is what’s
