Roys (Sweet FA) Round 9 v Titans (a must-win)

[Mobbs]

Titans are currently the crappest team in the comp (we're the third-crappest). We can't afford to lose this one.

We have too little goalkicking power. I want to take our most prolific goalscorers and stack them all up on the forward line. Might also play Yippy further up the ground a la M Richardson.

What do you folks think?

 

[adey115]

i'm fired up, though don't expect any handballs.... unless i have to handball in front of myself to avoid a tackle, regain the ball and have a kick....

 

[Yippyio]

Yeah im happy with the move, hopefully find some more of the ball at half forward.

 

[rabs68]

Happy with the move, but if I have a crappy game I would like to go back into the guts.

 

[cjwalkley]

Happy to be back, and I promise not to keep texting your ex-wife any more of those lude messages whenever I'm back in sunny Pretoria, Mobs!!

 

[adey115]

The Roys banner this week:

Don't Be Alarmed
Don't Be Frightened
The Roys Are Here
To Crush The Titans

(I can only hope that one of the other teams we play is from Nantucket, cos I got a great limerick for that banner.....)

Who's going to do the slogan for the other side of the banner...

 

[Yippyio]

Ill do it:

YIPPYIO
hes the man
If he cant do it
then no-one can

What do u think of that lol?

 

[Mobbs]

Thanks for the comments.

adey I think coach Stocka requested you didn't kick the ball any more because you're so bad at it

Yippyio, it may just be a temporary move. Get you a bit of confidence.

rabs, I'll keep an eye on the result of the move.

cj, you dirty rat! where's MY lewd messages?

Team will be locked in at around 2pm.

 

[Mobbs]

This week's gonna be even more make-or-break than I thought. Our opposition are polling this one as a breakthrough game.

There are a lot of question marks bordering the recent form of the Titans, who last year made the Semi Finals. Speculation surrounds the Titans Football Club that bad recruiting and poor positioning of the team is to blame for the Titans poor start to the season, but it seems as though it is more than that.

In a public statement, Titans Captain X_Box_X released an alarming statement saying that fellow team mate Alf Andrews had fooled around with Rocco Jones’ wife, which saw Alf Andrews an enemy to Rocco and the Titans Football Club.

No wonder why Alf Andrews has only played two games in 2003. Even though he has been dominant in his matches, X_Box_X claimed it is always difficult to field Alf Andrews knowing exactly what he did with Rocco Jones’ wife.

Very few Titans players get along with Alf Andrews, which makes an organisation like the Titans Football Club very hard to operate.

If you thought that was all, then you had better think again.

X_Box_X let out a fearsome attack on The_Flying_Egg. With anger, the Titans Captain abused his fellow teammate for “running over his cat|” deliberately earlier on in the season.

The tension is certainly flying at the Titans Football Club.

The Titans look to turn things around dramatically in the second half of the season, starting this week against the Roys.
“We haven’t achieved our goals that we set at the beginning of the year. It makes it hard when fellow teammates like Alf and Egg don’t co-operate with their fellow teammates”,

But wait, there’s more.

“I find that the only necessary thing to do at the moment is to step down from my captaincy as I cannot handle the pressure.”

When asked who will take over the captaincy, X_Box_X responded saying “The heart and soul of our team, Squeak.”

It is believed that Squeak doesn’t know that he has been handed the Titans Captaincy yet, but I am sure when he finds out he will be thrilled.

“He is the man for the job. He will be a better captain than I am. The only way that wins will begin to appear on the board next to the Titans name is if a different team leader steps aboard.” X_Box_X said before his last game as Titans captain against the Roys.

“We will now have played every team in the Competition, and I think it is only fair to hand the captaincy over to Squeak.”

X_Box_X also gave the impression that Alf Andrews and The_Flying_Egg cannot be in the same side as he is next year.

“I don’t know what the story will be next year. Whether Stegelator will delist them is up to him. If he finds it best to delist me, then I will have no choice but to leave the club.”

The Titans look to turn thing around dramatically in the second half of the season, starting this week against the Roys.

How do we combat this?

That's fantastic! Except we haven't lost the last 3 matches. I don't think, anyway.

I just checked and its : LWLWLLWL

No wait a minute...

WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN BETTER IF I'D INCLUDED THE "Y" in "THEY":

The Roys Stood On The Burning Deck
Losing Made Them Mad
So They Rolled The Titans Up Into Little Balls

[Mobbs]

Hahah!

 

[Mobbs]

They used to be Team Kournikova,
And into their old guernseys they wove her,
But tonight, quite abrupt,
They'll get fully stitched up,
When we're bending the bastards right over.

 

[adey115]

we have a winner....

 

[Mobbs]

Team locked in.

 

[Mobbs]

AND we get done AGAIN. That was a must-win, people ...
