This is the report for the previous Friday from SteveA.
The initial selection favoured a Simon win so the sides were changed at 2-0 down. Big Davie swapped with Simon Redhead to join the Bibs composed of Spizz, Henry, SteveA, Ian Geary, Andrew and Joe. With the sides more balanced it was the Bibs against Simon and we crawled back to finally losing 4-3. On the whole, the Bibs were wayward in their shooting and only created chances when there was a patient build up of passing and movement off the ball.

I will leave the rest to your imagination!
The Guv'nor comments:
In fairness to Simon Gashead, it is difficult to pick balanced sides. There are the vagaries of form and it is rare for a team to come back from 2-0 down. Rather than
knuckle down and try to mount a fight back, it is easier to make a slight
change.

This was Geoff's take on last Friday's match.
A very tight 16 man game on Friday night and my team won 1-0 with Joe scoring the rebound from Big Dave's shot. A very tense game with a few hefty challenges, firm but fair. I played on at 7.45 and it was much less intense. Simon had another great game. Steve Aiton played a blinder for the other team. Not sure the sides were fair though.

I am still struggling for fitness. As for the Gooners last night in Oporto, just pure comedy. Just what their legions of fans need.

Steve's team went down 3-1
I did a telephone interview with Steve and he said his team went down 3-1. Apparently, it did not gel up front. Steve assured me that he did not clatter into anybody, which is part of his repertoire. Gashead was on the winning side after picking the teams (again?) and Alan Morg. got two good goals.
On the wider football front Pompey are still with us. It looks like HMRC has been very lenient with football clubs in the past and now it is baring its teeth.
No further news about Spizz's possible World Cup song for South Africa. I suppose the key part for a football anthem is the chorus.

Spizz will be providing the next match report!!
Punk star Spizz will be providing the match report for tonight's game. However, I think the whole of world football has been overshadowed by the sacking of John Terry as England captain and by the comments of Tzofit Grant.
From what I can gather time speaking the alleged flings of Vanessa P. with Chelsea squad members coincided with the London team winning the league championship
two years running. Maybe, if some of our Friday-night players cavorted with French lingerie models then the football might improve.
Apparently, Tzofit says her husband Avram Grant can do anything he wants with his body. One of Tzofit's claims to fame, other than being married to a useless football manager, is that she was spanked by a sadomasochist in connection with her Israeli TV programme.

Spizz to record World Cup song for 2010?
Appparently, there is a Facebook campaign to get Spizz to record another song for the World Cup campaign of England.

I wish there was a Facebook campaign for Spizz to wear his shooting boots because they were missing last Friday. However, the old boy did look pretty solid during his spell in goal.
It was a 1-1 draw with Ross scoring for us followed by a dramatic long-range shot from Big Dave to equalise. I had a poor game being out of sorts with my knee hurting and with me being sidelined from the game for the next few weeks. I asked a few of the guys to provide the reports and I would paste them up. However, everybody is too busy.
After not being passed to a few times, I moved from right back to take a very advanced position in the left-wing corner. Sometimes I kept warm by trying to clip at the heels of Big Dave. We were eight against their seven and it was disappointing that we did not take advantage of the extra man to register a win. Sheffield Andy had a strong game for us in defence while I thought Steve was very effective in midfield for them.

Last Friday sees titanic struggle end 5-4 to Spizz's team!
Last Friday night was the first game of the New Year and ended 5-4 to Spizz's team. Simon Gooner had initially picked the sides, which were rejigged when Big Sam came on late. It was eight-a-side with team A having the experienced defenders big Dave, Mick K. and Big Sam while Danny the Diplomat sacrificed his attacking inclinations to stay back. Team A was augmented by Big Dave's brother Steve, Sheffield Andy, Ian and Spizz.
Team B had an attacking trident of Alex, Tone and Ross with Gashead and Joe playing on the left side. Goughie, me and Simon Gooner made up the eight.
We initially raced to a two nil lead with goals from Ross and Alex. Then, Big Sam made me lose concentration by pointing to the size of my post Xmas gut and then turned me finishing off with a low shot in the bottom corner. Team A then played a classic counter-attacking game with further goals by Mick K., Steve, Spizz and Sheffield Andy. We tried to get back into it with two goals from Tone, one a penalty, but to no avail.
I tried to explain to Spizz that his goal was more of the goalkeeper handling it into his own net but he was having none of it. He claimed the ball did not change direction and without action replay technology we were none the wiser.
Team A deserved to win but there was controversy over four penalty decisions. I rushed out of goal when Big Dave was storming through (where was the defence?) because I thought Joe had replaced me. However, he was hobbling into the D with an ankle injury. Sportingly, Team A were convinced not to press for a penalty although Big Dave had his misgivings. We then got two penalty decisions with one missed by Alex and then there was a strong appeal for another but the ball rolled out of the D after not being picked up by the goalie after a direct pass-back.
Alex and Tone played well for us but too often their defence was more organised and more resolute than we bargained for.
PS. Spizz has recently appeared on national TV!

We are really missing the footie!!
What with Christmas Day and New Year's Day falling on a Friday and the additional cancellation of three games due to bad weather, we have'nt had a run-out for five weeks. Maybe the leisure centre should invest in undersoil heating!! I have been just itching to play after my dramatic goal in our last match.
My New Year Resolutions of giving up alcohol and improving my fitness have already gone for a burton. I won't be able to match Spizz, who has made great strides in his fitness over the last couple of years. He also has quite a bit of pace over the first two yards, which you need when you are leading the attack. Spizz is not quite as quick as Ross, who has really improved and is now a definite goal threat.
