Eight a side leads to one-one draw!!

In a rare game of eight a side, the result was a close one-one draw. Joe outstripped me a bit and I should have put my foot in. The result was that he steered the ball into the net for a one goal lead. We only managed to get a draw quite late on when Simon Gooner passed to me on the left and I somehow crossed the ball to an unmarked Alan Morg. who slotted the ball in past Goughie in goal.
In between these two events Spizz gave me a pep talk about my attacking abilities, which even I admit are sadly non-existent nowadays. While both sides played a good passing game even though it was very crowded. It was a good debut for Ross, who selected the teams.
Just a note for the statistics. We had three Simons play for our team: Gashead, Inkp. and Gooner while Big Sam was immense in defence. Alan Morg. hit the post for us when it was still nil-nil but Big Dave marshalled his defence well.

I have been selected for tonight's game!!

I have just been talking to the manager and I have been selected for tonight's game.
Last week Spizz was in our goal and did not even flap at a long-range effort from Goughie, which streched their lead. We tried to fight back but to no avail. We have been benefitting from the incisive midfield play of Alex but have been lacking firepower on the attacking side, which has been a little stacked in favour of Big Dave.

One of our players, Alan Morg. has been in the wars healthwise and our best wishes go out to him.

The last two games have hinged on selection!!

The last two games have hinged on team selection with a 5-2 followed by a 3-1 and the stronger of the two teams registered comfortable victories. Spizz scored fine goals in both games. The 3-1 match saw a long-range effort not really gathered up efficiently by me, who had a couple of spells in goal. Gashead scored a fine goal for us but the match was put to bed by Ross, when he received a pass unmarked in front of the centre of goal.
Steve is out for a bit with a twisted knee after a 50-50 clash with Alex. This led him to go in goal and we steadily improved the score to 5-2. Big Dave was defending heroically but he could not keep us out.
For the past two games we have been graced by the appearance of an another Arsenal fan called Henry. He has a head-down approach to football and creates a few chances. Last week Henry hit the post from a narrow angle, which was unlucky.
