For the match report young Joe has done a poem!

An early conceit started with a lack of retreat,
Some said one side was too strong, but that denies we went wrong,
With a wedding in sight, Sam had to be right,
Alex and he scrapped in the floodlit Shoreditch night,
I could feel the shame, three goals down in one game,
It gave me a chill to say we lost three nil.

I am still shocked about the Spizz retirement. I am going to try and talk him out of
it. I still play despite having a pin in my leg and none of my colleagues passing to
me. Maybe we should try and arrange a testimonial game.

Spizz stuns footballing world with shock announcement!

Spizz Energi frontman Spizz has stunned the footballing world with the shock announcement that he is retiring and he holding a "wake" in Bishopsgate to celebrate
the event. "I can't quite believe it, it is the end of an era, if it is true" said
an unnamed source. "I knew he was suffering from injury problems but I did not think
that they were that bad."

Spizz's footballing style was/is characterised by above-average shooting skills, a nice turn of pace (for his age!) combined with an unwillingness to track back or go
in goal unless he absolutely had to.

"I hope he is not completely lost to the world of football. Spizz could get his coaching
badge or qualify as a ref" commented the unnamed source.

And a big thank you to all our readers - part two

Alan Morg. is knocked out at the worldwide following of the blog. Here are the page views by country for the period May to October 2010.
USA - 135
UK - 133
Russia -50
Canada - 25
Spain - 20
Japan - 20
France - 15
Malta - 12
Indonesia - 10
and South Korea with 8.
Last week's match report will be brought to you by Joe, who also stepped up to the plate and picked the sides. The game saw a guest appearance by John P., who relocated to Barcelona a few years back. It was great to see him eating up those yards on the pitch.
In the pub afterwards I had to commiserate with Danny, who went for it a bit with
an attempt at a long-raking pass. Unfortunately, this became a spooned-up effort infringing our over-head-height rules. But it was at least worth a go.
We are still missing Spizz, struck down by cruel injury. Hopefully, he is going to turn up this Friday for Big Sam's
bash.
As for Man Utd keeping Rooney rather than selling him, that probably will be the outcome after Fergie retires.

And a big thank you to all our readers!!

During the month there have been 68 page views from the United Kingdom, 49 from Russia, 30 from United States and 19 each from Canada and Japan. Other countries also
make it on the list. So a big thank you to all our readers!! Let's hope that Spizz recovers from injury soon so as to lead the attack.

I think I am available for selection this Friday. I am feeling the knees a bit with the change of weather. It has become quite wintry and I think it could be tracksuit bottom weather tomorrow.

My view on the Wayne Rooney affair is that he will probably go to Chelsea in the January transfer window. Real Madrid would wait until summer for a cheaper buy while I don't think Fergie's Man Utd can take the risk of selling him to Man City, since Mancini's team would probably run away with the league. I saw Real Madrid destroy Malaga on Sky during the weekend with Ronaldo and Higuain looking unstoppable and maybe Mourinho will decide that he does not need Rooney. However, the Spanish team has got players such as Benzema to offload in any part-exchange deal.

I was blown away by Gareth Bale's wonder hat trick against Inter Milan last night. But it looks like that Spurs will have to invest in a new defence and a couple of midfield holding players. Poor old Crouchie is not very good in the air. I read in the papers that his personal entourage numbers seven strong. Hopefully, they can teach him to time a jump and head the ball in the net.

Last Friday saw a pulsating 3-2 victory for us!!

A few weeks ago Joe scored a nice couple of goals and was crestfallen that I had not
given them the true attention they deserved. Especially, as he showed the blog to his
girlfriend on some Greek island. However, Alan Morg. was delighted that his name was up in lights, so you can't get every report right.
Last Friday saw a pulsating 3-2 victory for us with Big Dave and Mick K. having very
solid performances. Tone opened the scoring for them when we backed off a bit. Steve A. got a nice equaliser past a despairing dive from Gashead in goal. We managed to
sneak a 2-1 lead with Yev but then Alan Morg. shot through a knot of players after a free kick to make it even. We finally came up ahead with a Steve A. winner after a good dummy from Joe I think.
Spizz was again absent and we are missing him dreadfully!! I played a so-so game down the right but it was nice to be on the winning side for once. Their best player was Alex, who was tireless in midfield.
On a sentimental note we are organising a few beers and sandwiches for Big Sam before he gets married. We are a bit alarmed he is going to spend the night the ceremony before at Ian G.'s place.

Last week saw a 5-2 result!!

Last week saw a 5-2 result although Gashead Simon apparently got a good goal for the losing side. Apparently I have been selected for tomorrow's game although my fitness is nothing to shout home about.
I could'nt go to the Spizz gig last Friday but I hope it went well.

As for England v Montenegro we needed a bit more guile while Gerrard and Rooney were playing too far back. Hopefully, we will still qualify!!

Alan Morg. hits stunning hat trick!!

Chelsea supporter Alan Morg. hit a stunning hat trick in last Friday's three-three draw. Spizz was again absent with hamstring and knee problems and his earliest medical appointment is October 12th. The game was a crowded eight versus eight and our three goals were scored by Steve A. from the penalty spot, followed by a rare goal from Danny the Diplomat and a good effort from
Ross. Gashead Simon noted that we have registered two draws following his selection of the teams.

We perhaps should have won but Big Dave and Gashead were defiant in defence.
