Season 40

[July Fourth]

Friday, Day 20.

LEAGUE: Match 18. LONDON CITY (74.1) v YAKUZA Z UNITED (62.9)

Result: LONDON 1-1 YAKUZA
Goals: Yashin 52, Prosser 74
M.o.M: Julian Prosser (Yakuza)

Another woeful display by City drops us to second in the table and two points behind Alcudia. The first half was a drab affair with the only moment of note, being a penalty miss by Julian Prosser for our visitors. Things did improve slightly after the break, and we thought we might get a win, when Oleg Yashin worked his way through the defenders, and struck a fine goal, to give us the lead. But we couldn't hold on, and Prosser equalised with fifteen minutes to play. To make things worse, Terry Duggan and Percy Robins both received yellow cards, and will miss tomorrow's game through the totting up process.

OTHER LEAGUE RESULTS:
Olympiakos 1-5 Real, Minh 4-1 Tongfang, Jeleznik 1-0 Lalas, Legends 0-0 Danis, Shileno 5-0 Phetchana, Kukula 2-6 Alcudia.


TEAM TALK.

After today's inept performance, the players were called in for an extra evening training session. The directors made an appearance and made their feelings known in no uncertain terms. Tomorrow we play away at Lalas FC, and we would hope to see a vast improvement.

On a lighter note, two new players joined our squad today, one through the transfer list, and one through direct negotiation. Both will start as back-up players for now. They are French ML, Lucas Rogie, and English DC/DR, Ben Cole. Rudolph Mueller and Justin Harold have left to make room for them.

Was thinking when you sold your 2 players, Justin Harold had been part of London City for sometime, Think Mueller was only there a couple of seasons.

Was thinking when you sold your 2 players, Justin Harold had been part of London City for sometime, Think Mueller was only there a couple of seasons.

Actually, Harold has been here 5 seasons (since season 7, while Mueller has been here 6 seasons (since season 6. Both are now only 4* players with contracts up for renewel at end of the season, and as they're both getting older now, it seemed the right time for them to go.
