Sporting League: Game 16
Metronova were the next lambs to the slaughter at the hands of leaders Universo as they suffered a four goal drubbing at home without reply. Metronova gaffer: ‘I remember playing them in a friendly just before they were promoted back into the league last year and we hammered them seven goals to nil! It was the last friendly match before the season proper, so both clubs played as though it was a league game. Boy oh boy, how much they’ve improved! I think we must’ve had about ten percent possession out there -if that! There just wasn’t a thing we could do. If they play the rest of their games like that then they’re gonna get a Sporting title and a point’s record! Man, I needs meeself a bit of a lie down.’
Yop Lane were too tough for Green Tree as they reminded leaders Universo that there is still something of a league going on below them. Yop Chairperson: Hmmm, an interesting performance to say the very least. Here at Yop Lane we take pride in our heuristic approach to tactics which seemed to be somewhat lacking in the performance today. Granted, we may be second at the moment but I’m not entirely convinced that we’re moving in a direction that is in line with our philosophy.’
Olby put the brakes on the Tranquilayers resurgence with a late goal to win at Olby stadium. Olby supporter: ‘Come on Olby, come on Olby…’ (etc).
It was an unusual atmosphere at champions Bayerns ground as they defeated Athletico by two goals to one. Bayerns boss: ‘We’ve got a huge section of the press writing ourselves and Athletico off this season which suits us both to be honest. Rebuilding takes time, it’s our intention to kick the can round the stadium for the season and see what it looks like at the end…hopefully without too many dents and scuff marks.’
Red Star drew around the Zindustrious problems in fluorescent marker pen as they ran out winners by four goals to one.
Sporting City are looking to develop their home club Sporting Athlete but are struggling to find a buyer because of it’s location just outside the boundary of the Kapitale in the industrial region of Hasting Maye.
