Strikers often go through a bad patch. A loss of form can last weeks, even months and lead to discussions on the back pages. Millions can be wiped off the re-sale value and you can lose your place in the international set up. So when Deadeye Chris failed […]

VAR controversy at our last session at Stad Geriatrica tonight. Welsh international fullback Touchline Mike thrashed a left-footer goalwards which was spilled by Nutkin in the Blues’ goal. The keeper threw himself backwards like a salmon having a heart attack and clawed the ball out as it crossed […]
With many of the front side big beasts missing from training today it was a chance for others to shine. Only Ricky and Iron Russ from the first team had an outing – and both played excellently – but it meant a more meaningful session for the rest. […]
Two of our keepers need to be applauded today for turning out in five training matches without a break. Ricky DLTN and The Nutkin played for 80 minutes for all three teams in a Saturday round robin at Les Academias Decrepido. There were double saves, great saves and […]
An evening’s football encapsulated in one moment: Magic Wond nutmegging Speedy Steve on the halfway line – with a deft backheel. Both lads have been out with injury – Wondy from pneumonia and Steve with a titanium hip implant- and both are back to their brilliant best. It’s […]

Last session before our crucial cup clash with Woodnesborough on Saturday and the Magnificent Seven played together all evening. The plan was to get the Cup Side playing as a cohesive unit because the last time we went down there we got stuffed 6-1. Hastings will be without their top […]
It was a good night for the three keepers this evening at Las Academias Decrepido. Six close matches and only seven goals scored despite the efforts from some talented strikers. Ricky DLTN didn’t have a lot to do but made a couple of great stops; Tug made three super saves […]
A great session today at Les Academias Decrepido notable for a superb solo performance, another nasty injury and the return of Magic Wond. Wondy has been laid low by pneumonia for weeks but – a stone lighter – and just as tanned as ever he was back. His nutmeg of […]
Tonight’s training at Les Academias Decrepidos was overshadowed by a nasty injury to Hornets’ coach Massive Mark. We have had a few players limp off in the past but this is the first time one of our own has been carted off to A and E. The big lad stepped […]
