Sporting League 2010 – 2011
Game 7
Bayerns came back from a goal to nil down against Drakens to prevail by two goals to one. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I can’t recall ever seeing a pitch as bad as that in The Sporting League – they need to be hit with a hefty fine.’
Pundit L: ‘Oh come off it, if you start hitting smaller sides such as Drakens with fines then we’ll lose the teams that add a bit of much needed character to the league.’
Pundit X: ‘There can’t be any excuses at this level. The supporters pay out their hard earned dough to watch a mud pie contest. Come on, wake up, get real and smell the coffee buster!’
Tranquilayers put further pressure on the Athleticans with a one – nil victory. Tranquilayers coach: ‘I’m really proud of that performance. I’ll admit that even I thought it was going to be a draw but we seem to have something else about us this season.’
Pointeso and Universo cancelled each other out and virtually ended one another’s championship chances after only seven games. Universo boss: ‘It’s an uphill struggle for us now. This league can be so unforgiving. I reckon we can aim for a top three finish this year…anything else in a bonus.’
Sporting League 2010 – 2011
Game 6
Bayerns moved to the top of the league after breaking a stubborn Saints defence with just a minute of normal time to spare. Bayerns boss: ‘We’ve got a fantastic forward line. I had to play about with our positions because the defenders had pretty much shut up shop. We’re fortunate enough to have had a striker who could pick their defensive locks. Credit to Saints for holding on for such a long time. We picked up a few knocks out there today.’
Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I nearly choked on my salmon sarnies up in the Lunderbach executive suite. I know I was gluggin’ the champers, but I could swear that all three of the Tranquilayers goals were offside.’
Universo Collunteen notched up their second win of the season against a tricky Yop Lane. Universo gaffer: ‘I can’t exactly say that I was rubbing my hands with glee at the end of the game, but we did enough to give our campaign a much needed kick start.’
The Sporting League: Game 5
Sporting Athlete made in five wins in five with a two goals to one home win over Green Tree…Sporting Radio Pundit L: ‘Money talks in this league. Ultimately from a financial perspective I can’t see Sporting Athlete keeping this run going. I had a long look at Green Tree as well – I just can’t believe they had a top seven finish last season after that display.’
Novia and Saints held onto their unbeaten runs in a high tempo match which resulted in a two – two draw. Novia boss: ‘The Saints are playing some good stuff at the moment but we were under strength. I think Saints will be happy with a top ten finish at the very best this season to be fair.’
Bayerns edged closer to the summit with a one goal to nil win over a jaded Haaveno. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I was out on the ol’ golf course over the weekend with the Bayerns chief executive. He looked tanned with a million dollar smile – lovely guy. I think I heard somewhere on the grapevine that Mellsgerz Consortia could be buying a ten percent stake in their shares. I’m tempted to throw a few pennies towards the Bayerns metropolitan myself. As for the match, well did you see the bayerns goal? What a bloody pearler.’
Pundit Y: Just out of curiosity…isn’t there an exec that you haven’t had a round of crazy golf with? I sometimes have my suspicions that you spend your evenings off with the microwave meal for one.’
Athletico squandered their goal to nil lead over Drakens. Athletican supporter: ‘I nearly didn’t bother travelling to the game which would have been the first away fixture that I’d ever missed. I wish I’d stayed at home now. The supporters club has been on at the board for, what, five years now. We need to give up our unique independent status if we’re gonna have any sort of future in this league. Its impossible trying to tell ‘em though.’
Champions Universo recorded their first win of the season with a three goals to two score line against Delta.
