Game four versus Crappoli

Crappoli did their usual nonsense with their home field but Captain Flicky executed plan B flawlessly and we moved the game to grass at home in Danvers, It was a sunny and bright day and the pitch was in decent shape after our crack maintenance crew did the honors the day before. Captain Flicky started us off in the patented 3-5-2 formation which has proven to be quite effective this season. Crappoli are a decent team with some skillful players but they could not trouble us and I don't think that Frank had a single serious shot in anger to deal with. They are a tetchy team however and they squawked over every perceived injustice. FYI blokes that behave like this back in the old country are known as "wankers".

Rob was sporting new boots which he proudly showed off to me before kick off. Evidently he was so embarrassed by his non matching boots last week that he rectified the problem. However, the new boots still clashed so look out for a new pair for the next match because Rob won't settle until he gets this right.

We dominated the game and it could have been six nil but alas only one went in the back of the old onion bag. The goal was scored by Dimos who took a fairly tame shot in the first half that the Crappoli keeper bobbled and flubbed into his own net. We had many other chances but could not break them down any further. I counted at least six near misses.

Derek came down with leprosy before the game but did show up with victuals that were gobbled up by the starving hoards ... sausage and meat balls in marinara sauce ... and this time Caino did not soil his bib. On the libation front the BEER FLOWED LIKE WINE!!! Let me assure you that I will be using this phrase much more often because it is quite silly.

Here is a nice picture of Derek feeling like crap, JB doing post match calisthenics whilst sporting an odd expression, Caino picking his hooter and Paschal laughing like a mental person.

Stoneham squeaked a win over Peabody which is puzzling. The NS Internationals crushed Andover who have now been soundly spanked twice ... one more spanking would be thrice spanked and with luck we will be administering this next week. We stay in second spot locked on points with Stone of the village Ham who have a game in hand. Andover are anchored at the bottom of the table with no points and a negative 15 goal difference which is really quite disgraceful.
