Season 37

[Accyrover]

Arsenal always plays to the level of their opponent.... good on a day like today....

Not so good when they are playing some secondary school team.... they can beat Barcelona and then lose to
11 guys from my street.... frustrating!!

This fish doesn't bite on maggots, big fat juicy worms you may stand a chance.

D10 league match.
One of the strongest teams in the league who will be battling it out for the CL spots, sat in third with 3 defeats, looking at the teams around him another defeat today and wins for the others would set him back a few days, Ummm! away I see a banana skin with a 7* & 5* striker.
The big guns were all called into battle and what a battle it turned out to be.
Ravers were up for this one with everything prepared and maximum motivation was offered to the tune of 500K, twice the competition prize available.

Wilcox put Rovers in the lead on 34min, AM partner Douglas was injured on 44min.
No panic seen this to many times now, half time came and went Ravers extended the lead on 57min Pardue setting Parkes up with a bullet of a shot.
Keeley was booked on 60min after a slap in the kisser for 7* striker Guadarrama, the free kick was blasted into the top corner by the striker.
No time for nerves a switch from defensive to hard defending with force counter was the message passed out to Captain Sir Roger Jones.
Ravers responded in wonderful style Clayton breaking from DC was found by Pardue after a long clearance from Fazackerley, no messing from Clayton striaght in the back of the net 1-3 on 71min, Ravers trying to disrupt the final 15 minutes of play with substitutions and repositioning players was not enough to stop SC Senkovic coming back into the game on 84min Kim the DL was finding space down Ravers right flank with Douglas struggling to keep pace he was teed up by Guadarrama 2-3, could Ravers hold their nerve, the clock ticking down on 89min and up steps Pardue (soon to be 7*) with a brilliant solo run from deep, evading the challenges and finally one v one with the keeper he made no mistake.
FC Senkovic 2-4 Blackburn Ravers.

Ravers 11 points clear with 2nd and 4th still to play.
Disappointed to have conceded our first league goals but at the end of the day 'points gain prizes'
On this occasion I think the win bonus saved our skin, stats other than possession which I ruled were pretty even.
