Homenetmen 1-5 ASB

A welcome return to football following the traumatic events surrounding the one and only Sweeney in our previous game, happy to report that Sweeney is now rested up at home with his new born son. Get back to full strength soon mate.

On to Sundays game where the most laid back man in the world @?Freddie MnF? blamed his weekly late arrival on the fact that the live location wasnt sent to the whatsapp group until 10am, in hindsight I do suppose I should have got to the ground at 6am Sunday morning and sent the location to allow Fred time to get there OR he could have asked where we were playing the night before or all week but that would be too sensible for the most laid back man in the world. With no goalkeeper available the return (after 5 months of fucking us about and wanting to be begged to play) of everyones favourite estate agent (why are they always cunts?) Billy G who kindly offered to go in goal, we also saw the return of the strawberry blonde wizard Liam Xavi Davis meaning the central midfield partnership of Xavi & Deanista again after 5 months. Starting with 10 men against a young fit team wasn't ideal and when the most laid back man in the World finally got to the pitch and took 15 minutes to get ready we had still managed to keep them at bay and play the kind of football which is becoming our trademark. With Fred finally on the pitch we soon took the lead when the manager told everyone where he was going to put the free kick and whipped it pin point free into @?Murph ASB? who chested it down and performed a pirouette that Torville & Dean would be proud of before cheekily backheeling the ball into the corner. With the half petering out Homenet men threw bodies forward but were cut short by a lovely tackle by the manager which left @?M? to ping a perfect pass 45 yards to @?Craig Donnelly? to catch out the opponents who were still upfield and with the Homenet keeper caught in no mans land Craig curled a perfect lob from just inside the opponents half for 2-0. Having been 2-0 in other games and having been too confident that the game was done and getting pegged back to 2-2 the message was to get the game killed off ruthlessly so the second half began as the 1st half ended with some lovely football and interplay on both sides of the pitch seeing @?JD Asb? & @?Martin? having plenty of joy while @?Marko? was doing his worst impression of 1993 Brazilian Romario but instead of toe poking the ball under goalkeepers Marko put his own unique take on the skill by repeatedly toe punting the ball 40 yards out for goal kicks and just loudly shouting 'fuck me' - luckily we weren't playing @?HAndy ASB? 's favourite homosexual 11 the London Titans (who the manager managed to convince Andy are called that because they are all givers rather than takers so have Tight'uns rather than loose'uns) or Marko may well have got his wish.

Any way back to the match where some more excellent football was rewarded with a corner where the manager clipped another delightful set piece in for @?Murph ASB? to notch his second of the game, apparently the ball brushed @?HAndy ASB? 's barnet as he is somehow claiming an assist rather than the managers Beckham esque delivery. 3-0 up away from home and seemingly coasting @?Freddie MnF? got an assist but unfortunately at the wrong end as he put Homenetmen's best player through to finish well despite stand in keeper Billy's best efforts to stop it. We didn't let our heads drop and were knocking the ball around really well and 2 more Beckhamesque corners from the manager (3 assists in 1 game, which should be 4) saw @?HAndy ASB? pad his stats by netting a brace and take his match rating from a 5 to a 7.

The team is so improved of late that even with a centre half playing in goal and playing the 1st 15 minutes with 10 men you wouldn't have known it from the performance from start to finish. Promotion really has to be our aim, no room to be complacent but if we have good availability for our next two home games against one Brotherhood and yesterdays opponents we really can push for a top two place and get the promotion that I want not just for me put especially for Sweeney.

MOTM @?Murph ASB? / Maldini
