Season 64

[Buffs Mad]

Update:

The Cup return leg was a damp squib as the Buffs, chasing a 1-2 deficit from the home leg, only won 1-0 and tumbled out on away goals. This was followed it up with a 1-0 defeat to the leaders in the league to fall to 8th. Wins continued to come in the CL but the margins were tight.

The team was pretty solid in defence but goals were proving hard to come by and what goals they did get came from midfield and defence.

There followed a period of repeated shuffling of the 3 Strikers with arrow changes and other Voodoo. In the League the Buffs won 2-0, 4-0 and 1-0 against teams they were expected to beat - things remained tight with only 2 goals conceded and powder-puff finishing.

The coaching staff had to admit defeat. The Strikers were not up to the job - only 1 was scoring and even he was only delivering 'Sub standard numbers' - yet Buffs Mad stared into the TM wasteland......then went begging to the Board. Mr Scout had only targetted a single ST in the whole market. The Board expressed concern that Buffs had not come sooner - they secured te services of a left footed FK specialist and were then notified of a right footed FK specialist ..... and bought him too. The Buffs Board then put the biscuit tin away and 2 current strikes (including last seasons Player of the Year) were sold.

Buffs FC strode out for a crunch tie against second. They won 4-0 - the new STs provided 3 goals and 2 assists.

Whether this is a new beginning or just a chance occurrence remains to be seen but the Buffs lie 2nd 2pts behind.

PS. The Shamans however claimed the success and retreated with their dolls and pins to the acclaim of the Board. Buffs Mad asked, "If pins in items whick look like the target cause harmful effects, what happens to twins if 1 goes for accupuncture?"
