Sporting League: Game 12
Universo silenced the wall of abuse from Yop Lane supporters with a decisive home win by three goals to one. Universo boss: ‘I’m annoyed at the media for winding up the Yop supporters today, things were getting pretty scary up in the stands. The thing is, you get a lot of people coming across from the Colbreck district and I don’t care what any of the do gooders say, there are still tensions that run deep between the leagues. As for our performance? Sublime.’
Novia lost a bit of ground on the leaders after being held by the ailing champions Bayerns. Novia supporter: ‘It was pissing it down out there, I can’t think of a time when any of the players were all on their feet – like a bunch of ducks skating across the frozen Mollochi lakes.’
Athletico managed to hang onto the coat tails of the leaders as they won away at Liver Halvers. Sporting Radio: Pundit X: ‘My heads a spinnin’ after that game. I like that aggressive streak that the Athleticans have brought into their game, although they need to try and get the balance right. I detect a decrescent air around the Halvers stadium. I was walking around behind the scenes and thought to myself that it could all do with a lick of paint. I can see that the place was loved once but I don’t know, there is a bit of a sad feeling about the gaff. The thing is mate, I know the staff can’t offer me free executive golf passes and champers but they’re a lovely lot…really humble.’
Pundit Y: ‘I can see ’em goin’ down this season mate.’
