Citizens,Well done Saturday, a cracking display from all involved. It’s that togetherness that will keep us going till the end of the season!Stats website down so here’s a few game facts:Team:55′ A good move on the left led to a good switch from Ivan for Fabio on the right. The ghanean Wonder crossed it low for Ivan to finish off with ease. 1-065′ Useless foul from Philippe 40 yards out: the Fortuna centre back hit a tricky ball in the box and their striker with the slightest of touches put our rivals back in the game. 1-172′ Blythe hit a good corner, Both Ivan and Philippe double headed the ball in – Ex-poneytail man Ivan claimed it with a more enthusiastic celebration.2-182′ Blythe hussled the ball off their centre backs – clean through, 15 yards out and with only the keeper to beat, the Spurs man finished them off with a typical blythesque scuffed shot accross the goal. Boom. 3-1MOM: Blythe big game at the back – 1 assist – and 1 goal after a 5 minute stint up frontDOM: Ivan forgeting to bring the Donkey hat + his little yelp of agony and dismay after seeing his man get subbed. His girlfriend was not impressed.This coming Sunday we play against Azzurri, a team we know well. These kind of games are equally important, we need to win and keep our nerves. In fact, the first round of beers is on me if we manage a win and 0 yellow/red cards.So Sunday 12pm Kick Off Lido pitch ARE YOU AVAILABLE? please RSVP NOWCITY!!!Philippe

Palace,For the ones who missed it, we managed to scored 11 goals passed the Chaoyang Park Rangers on Saturday (final score 11-1). Admittedly, this large victory was made easier by the opposition fielding only 9 players. We had the ball 90% of the time, and had chance after chance to score, but the score after 1 hour played was only 3-1. Then in the final half hour the floodgate finally opened and we scored 8 more goals. Goals scorers were Charles Wharton (x3), Jason Dorey (x2), Gab de Tissot (x1), Lee Xiong (x1), Ben Roberts (x1), Jim So (x1), Peter Headden (x1) + 1 opposition own-goal. Lee Xiong was voted Man-of-the-match for scoring a cracking goal and Peter, “Donkey” for scoring the Rangers’ only goal (to make it 1-1 after 10 minutes played!). We are now second in the league table with 23 points, 6 points behind the French, and we have the best attack (56 goals) and goal-difference (+39).This coming weekend we will have a tougher match. We play the Barbarians B (we could only get a draw in that fixture back in October). The game is scheduled for Saturday 12th March, kick off at 5 PM in Chaoyang Stadium. Meet there at 4:30PM. Who can play?PatrickPS: Training session as usual on Wednesday, 8-10 PM at the Lido.
