Henden, Frackers FC: "Jatsutsappari titkarilallan titkaritillan titstandullaa dipidapidallaa, ruppatiruriran kurikankukka jakirikankuu" Per Chr. Henden, Ladida FC: "They say that girls don't fart. We've been in hard training and are ready to show you why not!" Espen Chr. Brill, Potato People: "Still not performing as hoped for, the Potato squad has been put on a diet of fresh fruits and cartoon animals. Hopefully the tide will turn and the Potato People will again rule the world." Steve Janecek, Sheffield Thursday: "I finally am in a division without Erlend, but he could not spare me from another beating so he hooked us up in the knockout :)" Steve Janecek, Sheffield Thursday: "Sheffield had D/F/M AP 2 players available for sale, e- mail [email protected] if interested" Erlend Janbu, Studs First FC: "Anyone need a sweeper or a forward, give me a call..." 3. Apprentices discovered FC United: Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidic, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 4. League results Rosedale Premiership Match day 5 ================================= Sleep Wanderers - Kremlin 3 : 1 Scorers: Dream (26., 74.), Echo (50.) ***Leonid Bungaloff (45.) The table is so close that with this match seeing the 10th placed team beating the second place, they actually go past them on the table. The difference between the teams in this game stemmed from the home advantage, and the scoreline was somewhat overstated. Twin Peaks Owls - Alphabet FC 2 : 0 Scorers: Laura Palmer (51.), Madeleine Ferguson (44.) ***--- Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Sent off: Log Lady (14.) ***--- Booked: Killer Bob, Steve Fox ***Annie Blackburn The Bookhouse Boys remain lucky - despite being outplayed on their own ground, they actually managed to get through to a win with only ten players on the field. How long can this burst of karma last? Car Park Rangers - Gangsters United 0 : 7 Scorers: --- ***Svarte Petter (31., 38.), Ss (71., 79.), Vito Spetafore (45.), Tony Soprano (4.), Scarface (40.) Booked: --- ***Clemenza An easy one for the Mobsters, but not quite as easy as the scoreline indicated. However, the jump up the table was quite deserved. Mishima Zaibatsu - G.I.D. 3 : 0 Scorers: Prototype Jack (63.), Nina Williams (7.), Hwoarang (82.) ***--- One point to Trion from the home team, but that was a lucky sacrifice; even a two goal win would have flattered them. FC Mokum - Extreme 4 : 0 Scorers: Eto'o (18., 84.), Cseh (49.), Jenner (7.) ***--- Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Booked: Hleb, Jonny Groth ***Drogba Despite being visited by a team ahead of them, FC Mokum remain strong at home and won this one rather easily. A promising start to the season, but they might have to win away now and then too... FC Asskickers - Blue Revolution 1 : 4 Scorers: Dusty Rhodes (13.) ***Kyun (42., 85.), Kluivert (72.), Kurohone (30.) The teams were almost exactly evenly matched in this game, but Blue Revolution were heaps more efficient in the box, and thus got away with a lucky win. Rosedale Premiership Match day 6 ================================= Kremlin - FC Asskickers 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Ric Flair (68.) Booked: --- ***HC Loc, Justin Credible, Lex Luger This time, FC Asskickers were a fair bit stronger than their opponents, and converted that successfully into a one goal win. The game was a lot more entertaining than the scoreline indicates, though. Blue Revolution - FC Mokum 2 : 0 Scorers: Kyun (23.), Kurohone (76.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Robben, Terje Langli FC Mokum are still struggling away, and may have to look into the hygiene of the team bus. Maybe there's a computer virus infecting the players on the trip? Extreme - Mishima Zaibatsu 0 : 7 Scorers: --- ***Nina Williams (21., 23., 48.), Hwoarang (35., 52., 72.), Devil Jin (27.) Ouch! Another team scores seven goals in the Premiership this weekend. A bit surprising, considering how close the table was before this weekend, but it looks to be spreading out now... G.I.D. - Car Park Rangers 1 : 0 Scorers: Right Brain Half (36.) ***--- Booked: --- ***Bruce Wayne The Powers are consolidating themselves as dead last on the table, and could easily have conceded more goals in this one. Lexington next season? Gangsters United - Twin Peaks Owls 1 : 0 Scorers: Ss (63.) ***--- There was only one team on the field in this game, but the Mobsters only scored on one of their chances. That's enough for both points, though. Alphabet FC - Sleep Wanderers 1 : 2 Scorers: --- ***Dream (20.), Kazuki (47.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Xx ***Dream The Letters would do well to read a book on improving their Rosedale karma; they had most of the play in this game, but couldn't score at all from normal play. The Night Terrors, however, were efficient, and thus won out. Lexington League Match day 5 ============================= Studs First FC - First Men of Rome 7 : 3 Scorers: Wayne Rooney (17., 88.), Chris Kiwomya (6., 38.), Arjen Robben (41.), David Batty (35.), Steven Gerrard (11.) ***Wotagoalus (61.), Vincenzo Montella (42.), Roberto Pruzzo (29.) Booked: --- ***Daniele de Rossi Studs First FC keep up their fantastic league form with an overstated scoreline win against closest chaser Toga Boys. Greensleeves United - The Ages 2 : 0 Scorers: Robert Aldous (24., 71.) ***--- Greensleeves take their first league points of the season, winning deservedly at home against the Ages. This also lets the home team climb past their opponents, but both are still well below the relegation line. Erkrath Gladiators - Tamriel Athletic 5 : 3 Scorers: Ragnar Huehnerbein (7., 69.), Guenay Attes (74.), Jochen Sproetel (32.), Felix Grabowski (38.) ***Palonirya (47.), Jeanne Frasoric (11.), Mzunchend (73.) Penalties: - ***- (1 missed) Despite being unbeaten away, the Lunatics have struggled at home. In this match, however, they dominated, and were unlucky not to win by bigger numbers. Slartibartfast FC - Feyenoord 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Lucius (2.) Booked: Max Quordlepleen ***--- Lucius scored an early goal, and little happened after that. Feyenoord were more than happy to ride that lead in to two deserved points. Desassossego Blues - Fjortoft's Friends 4 : 8 Scorers: Fernando Pessoa (20.), Chevalier de Pas (34.), Pero Botelho (15.), Pantaleao (88.) ***Sobo (21., 33., 38., 78., 80.), J.A.F. (17., 49.), Westhi (57.) Booked: --- ***Guenti, Jan Sen Fjortoft's Friends play a very impressive game at Athena Stadion, with all of 8 goals! The home team couldn't quite keep up with that, even if they too were productive. AZ - Thinkers FC 0 : 1 Scorers: --- ***Baruch Spinoza (29.) Despite AZ being better, perhaps thinking really helps sometimes; at least, the Thinkers stole both points. Lexington League Match day 6 ============================= First Men of Rome - AZ 5 : 3 Scorers: Roberto Pruzzo (18., 29., 54.), Wotagoalus (5.), Daniele de Rossi (27.) ***van Hooydonk (66.), Schaars (76.) Penalties: - ***1 Toga Boys avenge their loss in the previous game with a complete devastation of AZ. Even their sloppy defense couldn't prevent the win this time... Thinkers FC - Desassossego Blues 2 : 1 Scorers: GWF Hegel (75.), Immanuel Kant (67.) ***Chevalier de Pas (3.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- This wasn't the Blues' week. The Thinkers had an easy time, and after the first hour of play this smelled like a real robbery. Fjortoft's Friends - Slartibartfast FC 3 : 0 Scorers: Suppa Schui (9., 77.), J.A.F. (26.) ***--- Booked: Sobo ***--- With another solid win, Fjortoft's Friends present themselves as prime promotion candidates. Slartibartfast FC didn't get a single shot on goal! Feyenoord - Erkrath Gladiators 3 : 3 Scorers: Charisteas (67.), Nistelrooij (56.), Kiprich (79.) ***Carsten Bernsee (89.), Jochen Sproetel (34.), Guenay Attes (4.) Booked: --- ***Holger Frey Erkrath Gladiators started best in this one, being up by two at half time. That was strongly against the run of play, though, and the second half depicts the match a lot better. However, that was only enough to get one of their two deserved points. Tamriel Athletic - Greensleeves United 7 : 1 Scorers: Palonirya (58., 79., 87.), Urjabhi (4., 33.), Jeanne Frasoric (81.), Vlenarus Kvinchal (56.) ***Robert Aldous (32.) Booked: --- ***Henry Hallon, Jimmy Clayton Tamriel went at it savagely, clearly intent on showing themselves of a different quality than Greensleeves. Looking at the match, one'd say they succeeded too. The Ages - Studs First FC 1 : 6 Scorers: Cambrian (66.) ***Wayne Rooney (10., 13.), Jehane bet Ishak (22., 54.), Steven Gerrard (48.), Chris Kiwomya (72.) Penalties: - (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Arjen Robben These teams look likely to fight at opposite ends of the table this season, and the result reinforced that idea. A well deserved away win. Berkeley Conference Match day 5 ================================ Springfield United - Saturday Morning FC 3 : 0 Scorers: Ned Flanders (1., 52.) ***--- Penalties: 1 (1 missed) ***- Booked: --- ***Bravestarr The 2Ds don't appear to have much depth in their play this season, whereas there's no reason at all for Springfield United to say "D'oh!". A clear and deserved win. Brazil Star Conquerors - Sjokoladen BK 1 : 2 Scorers: Emerson (1.) ***Melke Sjokolade (88.) Penalties: - ***1 Booked: Robinho ***Radu, Twist The Brazilians were a little better than Nam Nam at home, but they apparently became too confident with their early lead, and Sjokoladen turned it all around in a few hectic end game minutes. Ladida FC - Coventry 4 : 3 Scorers: Dixie (14., 88.), Petra (36.) ***William Hall (58.), Thomas Hall (18.), Richard Rockingham (22.) Penalties: 1 ***- Booked: Blossoms ***--- Despite it being top at home against bottom, this match was actually pretty close.
