January sales

The end of the season kinda fizzed out and ended prematurely due to the weather canceling the final games. It meant that we were denied the opportunity to put right our penultimate result.

What was interesting in our final loss, which was not recorded in the match report, was the performance by Ludwik. The man single handily gifted wrapped the match to the opponents by providing two assists to the opposition. He would have had three assists had our keeper, Mr Dependable - Faud, not given away a free kick by handling outside the area in order to cut Ludwik's defense splitting pass, sorry I mean bungled clearance.

Why all of this is relevant now is that the Spring season is starting in two weeks and Ludwik has decided to leave the ranks of the B league brethren to show case his talents with the big boys in the A league. We're a team scorned but I'm not sure the A league are ready for his perverse sense of fair play so elegantly illustrated in our last loss.

This is the biggest transfer news of the season and I keep checking the Sports pages but haven't found mention of it yet. Perhaps the editors are too busy restraining their laughter.

Martin and I have recruited Ron in his place and we're looking foward to next weeks pickup game to see how the lad does. I say recruited but press ganged would be nearer the truth.

Come on Ronny! Ludwik? - who are ya! B-league reject!

Really? I assumed Ludwik was now plying his trade at the heart of West Hams defence.

I think the "A" in A League merely stands for attitude. I wonder if Ludwik will be lucky enough to be assigned the same team as Mario.

All good things must come to an end

We lost and I blame Martin - of course. I don't know what he was on but he was giving us some serious lip through out the game. Constantly having a go at us for not getting back to help the defense and when we got there banging on about not getting forward to help with the attack. Interestingly on more than a couple of occasions I noticed that while he was screaming at us to get forward I was 10 yards ahead of him. I reckon he must have downed a huge bowl of aggro flakes for breakfast. On reflection I came up with a couple of other theories as to why the normally mild mannered, albeit slightly lippy, bloke would suddenly explode into a raging beast of aggression: 1. Roid rage. I'm not saying he's on the juice and I really do not want to get too close to look for other signs of steroid abuse. 2. Lack of Saturday night action. On top of that he took off early from the game to catch a plane but I reckon he was making like a rat leaving the sinking ship. Of course we would not ...

Goal of the season - candidate 1

In brief: The opposition take a goal kick and I'm standing near the halfway line as the ball comes towards me. In a rare moment of thinking of doing something and it actually working I head the ball sideways to Martin. Normally heading the ball leaves me in a state of borderline concussion because I pretty rubbish at it, however this time I'm still standing and clear headed and I marvel as the move unfolded. Martin does some flash stuff with his feet, like putting one foot in front of the other, and moves forward with the ball before pinging a pass out to Pawel who is on the right wing. Pawel advances down the wing and sends in a cross to Ronaldo who has taken up a position outside the six yard area about level with the left hand post and hanging off the back of the defenders. The ball sails over the defenders and finds Ronaldo perfectly but the defenders react and attempt to close him down. Not wasting time to trap the ball Ronaldo executes a low scything scissor kick, wit...
