Season 89 Are you ready?

[talisman]

Desert Rats FC played at home against 10th place and had a comfortable 3-0 victory. It was strikers day, and Emanuele Imbimbo and Julien Renard netted one apiece and late on, right-back Cipriano Elizondo scored his first goal for the club. Goalkeeper Bismark Carroll rated highly, particularly for keeping his clean sheet with a correct guess, diving to the left to keep out a visitors Penalty kick. With all but one match taking place in the small hours (the Rats match being the exception), there is an element of catch-up every day as Desert Rats can see all the other match scores before they play theirs. The Rats are still on top in what is starting to be a two-horse race...



...and a certain player is dominating the 'Top Players' tables...



Idle time this afternoon, and a couple of 2T purchases from the transfer market to replace low-Q players whose contracts are expiring at the end of this season.



Then attention turned to the Champions League Quarter-Final 1st Leg away match, and the two new recruits were on the bench but the Rats faced a formidable Level 8 opponent.



...and promptly collapsed into a heap...



The Management will be scratching around for a formation that will at least be able to get a reasonable return from the home Leg and allow Desert Rats to retire from the competition with some dignity still intact...
