IT’S
CRUNCH TIME – SUCCESS OR FAILURE
(Well, that was the press plan this week)
A shortened press this week, with
the World Cup and all taking my eye off the press ball. I was going to comment on the three teams
that are battling it out for SAEFL honours in what is the closest Division 1
battle in quite some time.
But as the website is down (come on Peter!) I thought
I’d suggest how CA, TB and AA match up to their World Cup equivalents.
CA are the big guns right now; but they are also a side steeped in history. A real threat from when the league was conceived, they went through a rough patch a few seasons ago before coming back as an uber-side this term.
As a side, they most effectively resemble
’98 and ’02 saw underachievement – especially last time out – but they look the cream of the crop right now - systematically destroying defensive-minded sides and they surely must stand a huge chance of lifting the WC trophy come the second week in July.
TB
TB are an up and coming side. They have always been in the middle of the pack – a team that you couldn’t really ignore, but a side that were never going to challenge on a week in, week out basis.
This has changed in Season 11 as Jer has built an awesome EMPing team that has really surprised a number of managers in SAEFL, and could yet lead them to the ultimate prize.
They most closely resemble
AA
Fair enough, AA have won the main prize in SAEFL twice; but let’s be honest, they are the perennial brides. Always looking superb, but never quite taking the goods home with them.
Now let’s think of a side that have had quality players in every World Cup since about day dot, and have even reached a couple WC finals, but have always bottled it. Hmm … who can I be thinking of?
As yes, that would be the
This time, Holland have the skills of Van Persie, the wing-play of Robben, and the scoring touch of Van Nistelrooy; not to mention the defensive skills of … hold on, they don’t have any – maybe they are nothing like AA J
Anyway, what I was going to say is,
despite these players, you know, just like
That means it’s
CA for the title, and

Well, the boost was enough, barely. Looking at the results I'm at a loss to
explain it. I guess the difference in
keepers was the deciding factor. Our
finishing leaves a lot to be desired. Robinho was the only one wiith
better than 50% althoughHamm and Wambach
shot 50% each. But a win is a win. I'm glad a boost was enough since I need the
grudges for the cup matches.
The grudge was well spent in the cup match. The total EMP wasn't in our favor, but
looking more closely at the offence vs defence it's less of a close-run thing. My offense was almost twice his defence, while his offense was less than twice my defence. There is
also a significant difference in the keepers as well. Now that I think about it, I'm a little
disappointed that the goal difference wasn't a little larger....

Last week a deserved win, this week an away game against the leader CA. We are going
full
force against them. Leaving Donaldson out of the team, he might get a coloured
card, and DM W. EllDone gets a
chance to
show his manager what he is capable of. In the fist half this season we drew
against CA, this time the grudge can
make the
difference. I hope AA will lose this week, that would
give as a really good shot at the title this year.
Maybe we
keep the last grudge in the povket for a home match, I want to come close to the 160 emp,
en hope tho cross that barrier
next
season. With the new CF gained from the transferlist,
finally a player again with rising nsl in a attacking
position (and for 820 K I hope so)
we are
confident, ok, first CA, a Dutch clash, and still friends with manager Kroon, still......

Press (AP): AR gave up one shot too many this week.
Manager
Fulmer (MF): Yes we did. We gave up one.
AP: And you
failed to save it.
MF: And
your point is?
AP: My
point is your side when you play defensive tactics is better but not good
enough.
MF: I'll
buy that. At least now good enough yet. We can stay
competitive bit it is still not a winning tactic for us against a strong side
like GU. Hopefully we still will improve. 4 of our top 6 defenders are 25 years
old so they hopefully have time to figure this out.
AP: I hear
you are trying to find some players to strengthen AR defense.
MF: Yes,
our sort of good defense is still not good enough. We
need help at CB or DS.
AP: What AR
players could be available for defensive help.
MF: Because
of our depth in other areas, we can make some strong players available. They
include:
CM H VanderWesthuizen 24 9.0
WH W. Hell
24 9.75
FB T Barker
25 8.5 with great stats
AP: Those
are some excellant players. You must be looking for
some strong defenders.
MF: We are.
AR has a lot of fairly good defenders, but we must improve to make our goal of
promoting to Division 1 after season 12.
AP: What
about promotion this season? You are still in the race for a playoff spot.
MF: We will
try hard to make the playoffs, of course, but our focus is still on next
season. We will not make any trade to bring in a player this season unless we
thing he will still be a strong performer next season.
African Selection
Ok, so the
Selects travel to the Someplace Old Stadium and they had the home side a good
old whooping. Seven shots, six goals. It is good to
see the Selects have become a little more efficient over the years. I can
remember games with double digit shots and six goals. Now we have a task that
looms just as large. A game against the team above in the
table...Melchester Rovers. This is an
important game as it is a six point game with the winner really making a case
for getting out of the relegation zone.
The Selects
are going with vitually an identical line up. The
only change is CB Hofland coming in to play his 72nd
match for the Selects in place of the suspended

Well, our last
grudge card did us some good. We got
another win but are still in fifth place.
This is not the greatest place to be in but hopefully, we will at least
make the playoffs. We are in good shape
to do that so we will see how the rest of the season plays out. This week we play DS, who are below us in the
standings but we played a boost just to make sure we get the three points. As long as they do not play a grudge, we
should win, hopefully at least.

Is Love In The Air?
With the
Kickers playing well at the pointy end of the season, is it no wonder that
anyone and everyone to do with the Adelaide team is so excited that love could
possibly be in the air.
Manager
David Thomas and Team sportswriter for this paper, Stephanie Burrows have been
seen around town a little bit this week.
She is supposedly off this week which is why I am doing the report. Is it just a flu bug or is it the
<b>"Love Bug?"</b>
Anyway,
back to the team. The kickers won last
week 11-5 against Vitesse Arnhem. VA were without
their manager last week as he was in fact one of the 272 people locked out of
the ground. This was
This week
sees them in an easier game against Falcons FC who beat the speedsters 16-5
last week. But with freak AM Mats Swansson picking up a knock last week, he will surely be
rested as will some of the other players too ready for the game away next week
to the Fanatics.
Let's get
out their and support the boys in their push for the playoffs.

Greetings all this week sees the great Wayne United up against the great
and Speedy Speedsters. Wayne Uniteds spirits are high
this week after the amazing and powerful crushing of Fantastic eleven last
week. The team has kept a very level head after that game as they know that
letting last weeks game go to their head will run a large risk of effecting
this weeks performance.
See you in
the stands!

Press: Press : Having the title so close in |
|
DT : was a great
game - congrats to both teams, little disappointed in the injury of our
keeper - could have of made a very small difference in the outcome of the
game if he had stayed on - but no the less, was very close a good result
21-21 and im sure the both teams fans appreciated a
great game of footie |
|
Press- so now
the title race is back on - how do you fare against a very impressive DV side
this week? Any surprises? |
|
DT : DV are a
great side, they having a good run at the moment and we are pretty sure they
are going to grudge us this week - we are most likely the only team that
stands in the way of the title for FU - so im sure
FU hoping that they do :) otherwise, Cone our keeper is out for this game, he
making a great recovery tho, and as for the rest of
the team - lil upset that Tristan our star W wont
make it as he has been suspended. |
|
Press
: So it’s the only 2 changes to |
|
DT :
indeed, and surprisingly we have a higher NSL team that played against FU -
but the EMP ratio wont be as good - so, we are going to grudge DV this week
to counter his Grudge - also because we are morale 0 and he has a morale 2 -
lucky we do have a Home advantage |
|
Press
: Great! Can’t wait - Good luck then! |

A solid victory
against the speedsters laid a platform for us to hopefully move out of the red
this week. It's not going to be easy this week as we are playing a team that is
higher than us on the log.
Fanatics United
Suck, Suck,
Suck, Suck. I would rather have lost the game, no commish don't get any ideas, it
would have been a better game than a draw. Ooh well that means if we come first
and second it is a draw first because matched up we are equall.
For those people not watching the league I am talking about my last game
against DT.
