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.

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.
