Sporting League 2010 – 2011
Game 4
The Pointeso boss was furious with the ref after cancelling out what appeared to be a legitimate injury time goal. Pointeso boss: ‘What do you want me to say? Tell ya what…read my mind because if I speak it my bank balance will take a hit from the Sporting council. One win in four isn’t cuttin’ it at the mo’…we’ve gotta improve otherwise I’ll be walking the plank over Pointeso bay like my predecessor. We aim big at this club and are aiming for a top three finish. Boy oh boy we’re makin’ hard work of this, I just can’t understand why our board are keepin’ silent at the moment. Tell ya what thio, they won’t be sittin’ up there grinnin’ that’s for sure and I don’t blame ‘em.’
Athletico suffered at the hands of a three goals to one defeat to Saints…Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I know that I keep harping on about this but the Athleticans needed a marquee signing over the summer which never happened. I’ve got my sources and know that they’re independent status give ‘em money to burn when times are tough. So I don’t know why they aren’t thriving in the current Sporting recession.’
Tranquilayers slipped back a couple of places as they could only manage a two – two draw against thirteenth placed Metronova…
Novia boss on Sporting Radio: ‘I like the look of the Haaveno side and felt we got lucky with a two – one win. ‘
Champions Universo Collunteen were still without a win as they slipped up at home to leaders Sporting Athlete. Universo boss: ‘I’ve heard that the posh kids Tranquilayers were shoutin’ the odds about us after they got wind of our below par performance. The thing is, they’re sitting in their penthouses up in the Hilti forest with cash to burn whilst we’re the unlikely Sporting League champions eating pot noodles whilst they chomp on the ol’ caviar….makes ye sick dunnit eh?’
Pundit X: Well I’m rather partial to the ol’ cavvy, and um yes, pot noodles do make me feel a bit queasy.’

Game 3
Sporting Athlete hit the top of the table for the first time in their history after a two goals to nil win over relegation fodder Indentine. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I think they’re (Sporting Athlete) are gonna be pleased with that result. Granted, it’s only three games into the season, but ye know…history is history. I reckon the boardroom staff will be poppin’ the ol’ bubbly as we speak.’
Tranquilayers put in a complaint to The Sporting League patrol panel after the Red Star forward allegedly lashed out at the Tranquilayers players in a post match bust up in the tunnel. Tranquilizers fan calling in to Sporting Radio: ‘It was embarrassing to see. I think that player has kicked their last Sporting League football…we need to stamp out this kind of ill discipline sooner rather than later.
Pundit Y: ‘I don’t think the Tranquilayers players are exactly shining lights themselves. I know what its like out there in the war zone. Let’s just say wicked whispers often lead to these kinds of incidences. I like the Red Star set up myself…you knows you’re always gonna get a tough game down there. I think the Tranquilayers players get a bit above themselves…’
Pundit Y: ‘Look, I think the supporter had a good point to be honest – we just can’t have players wildly lashing out at the end of the game…I hope The panel throw the book at Red Star big time for this debacle.’
Saints also maintained their one hundred percent despite getting two players sent off for dissent as they held on to a three goals to two lead over Lunderbach.
Paytonia Consortia revealed that they’d purchased a thirty percent stake in new side Haaveno on the back of a one goal to nil shock win over Athletico.

Game 2.
Bayerns came back from a goal down against Indentine to ease themselves to a three goals to one victory. Bayerns gaffer: ‘I’ve gotta be pleased with that result. Our players responded well in the second half. I like the look of some of the Indentine players and will make a few enquiries before the transfer window closes.’
Champions Universo were still without a win after being held to another draw, this time against Novia. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I was in the Universo bar at the end of the game and was surprised by the amount of executives swanning about the joint. I don’t know, they claim to be the side of the workers and one championship win and the’re cosying up to big business.’
Pundit Y: ‘ Nah, I think the ol’ Universo will continue to fly the red flag…look it’s The Sporting League mate, you need to accept the fact that you can’t live without the suits in this game.’
The Sporting League
Season 2010 – 11
Game 1
The league retured after the summer break with the newly installed Pointeso gaffer demanding wholesale squad improvements. Ninth position last year was way under par. I haven’t done too much work in the transfer market over the summer because I believe the existing squed can take us to the next level with a top five finish.’
Unfortunately for Pointeso, the boss had to endure a dire performance against Sporting Athlete as they went down by two goals to one in their curtain raiser.
Champions Universo were held to a draw against transitional giants Athletico…Last years third placed squad Tranquilayers came back from a goal to sink Drakens by two goals to one…Sporting Radio Punit X: ‘I thought a lot of the sides looked lean and mean after the break. Tranquilayers have got a bit of urgency about them when the ol’ chips are down, so I can see them being in contention again.’
Pundit Y: ‘So, did ya enjoy the Tranquilayers golf courses over the summer?’
‘Oh aye, always get meself round the ol’ eighteen holes and bottles of champers to boot…don’t you worry about me sonny.’
Punit Y: ‘Well I was walkin’ to the studio this morning through Sporting City zone 34.5 and, I don’t know, you get a real sense about everyone you meet that the season has started…I get a feelin’ that Pointeso might cause a few surprises this year.’
Pundit X: ‘The boss needs to get shut, trust me. I would have cleared the decks and started again. Too much ill discipline for my liking…’
