With a record of played 2 lost 2 goals against 12
goals for 1 confidence was high going into Wednesdays game against a team that consisted of policeman.Confidence was also boosted when they all looked like 6 foot fitness instructors as we believed that they were going to under estimate us as we marched on the pitch smelling of Benson and Hedges and deep heat.
We had decieded in a two hour meeting that the problem we were having was that the other team s kept scoring goals against us while we werent scoring any,so we decieded to attack from the off.We won the toss and lined up in a Kingie
0-0-5 formation andwhen the ball was kicked forward we charged up the pitch in bulk.Trouble was we lost the ball and they broke leaving us all at the wrong end 1-0.2-0 quickly followed as did 3-0 and 4-0 but as i said if we could hit the net we would get a goal but it wasnt to be and we ended up losing 4-0.
Moral was low but fortantly our manager had been reading Pookies latest book "Coming second to Lewes-my excuses" and he read to us chapter twelve"always blame injuries!"So we are now blaming our defeats on the fact we only had one
fit player and the rest of us had to play with broken legs and rabies because our budget wasnt as big as others in our league.This made us all
feel so much better and when we said it enough we actually started to believe it!!
So next Wednesday it is against top of the league,some say its an easy three points for us but i disagree its a very easy three points for us but if we do lose we are going to use another chapter of Pookies book so be warned!!
