5 aside tournament CIS 2pm start Sunday!

Dear City

We have confirmed the pitch for Sunday,

We will be having a 5 a side tournament at the Canadian school this sunday starting at 2pm! Everyone is welcome and it should be a nice day. There will be no running but please bring some refreshments! If your feeling rather more cheeky you could bring something a little bit stronger like some traditional Basque Cider called Chowhound to celebrate our friend Inigo!

So see you on Sunday for a fun filled day of football!

Cheers

James

Dear Citizens

Commiserations go out to Palace who were unlucky to go down 3-2 yesterday.

But well played to City with a very commanding 6-0 win over the barbarians.

This is a rallying call to everyone one at the club to training this Wednesday! It should be lots of fun and we will do lots of shooting, not to mention a very rewarding cold pint at the end of it! Theres plenty of guys that are still not fit yet and its effecting your own potential on the pitch. So do your self a favour and reply to this email. Remember im doing this for you! Lets keep climbing this mountain by simply taking one step at a time. The next step is YOURS!!!

WILL YOU BE AT TRAINING!???????

yours sincerely

James

FCFC-TV presents City vs. Russia

First game in 2010 beating Russia 6-0.

See when Adam’s hard work on the right helped him claim yet another assist. His beautiful cross was only slightly deflected by all four Russians defenders and a Chuar stand in Sanlitun, before it fell to Will who finished with class.

And it was cold that day…

Match Report: Russia 0:6 FCFC

February 28, 2010 – Russia 0:6 FCFC

Citizens!

The bells of the Kolner Dom are Ringing, The prodigal son has returned, Jochen Tenhagen has scored.

Many had come to doubt whether he would ever cross the halfway line again, but the Mustachioless German silenced his doubters today with an 11th minute “Kracker Shlaffer” from 25 yards out. After stealing the ball in midfield, Jupp pushed forward with the ball and blasted an unstoppable strike past the Russian keeper, to send City on its way to victory and keep us top of the table.

Other moments/points worthy of note:

- Matty the team Cripple was on deck to encourage the team along with “occasionally suspended Healey”

- Sheff and Blythe confirmed talks with BOBOME concerning the creation of a new Nightclub “Shyffe” (the club’s Motto is rumoured to be: “Prepare to be Shyffed”) were well on their way.

- James will be collecting contributions for Ivan’s new hearing aid this Wednesday at training.

- Kenny Gasser is just too good.

- Thanks to Ini for travelling all the way up to Beijing. Great to see you mate.

- Adam’s hard work on the right helped him claim yet another assist. his beautiful cross was only slightly deflected by all four Russians defenders and a Chuar stand in Sanlitun, before it fell to Will who finished with class.

- While you are busy reading this Sheff is with your girlfriend.

- And Alex is the “Papa”.
