Almaty set to test The Invincibles

Almaty face The Invincibles, who are currently rooted to the bottom of the table, at 8pm tonight. Despite their position in the league The Invincibles have a strong defence and outside the top three teams they have conceded the least amount of goals. Barry “I’ll see you in court!” Sheehan (who has scared many a striker with his large presence in goal) takes a lot of the credit for their good record along with their 1-5-0-0 formation. Almaty are all too familiar with their negative tactics which has resulted in such a stat having narrowly beaten them 1-0 in their first round game. However, with Gav “I’ll catch you yet Marco” Jeffers and Marco “no chance Gav” Machado both gunning for goals it will be hard for The Invincibles to contain them. Even Phil “I can score!” Smith will look to contribute.

Apart from Billy “off to the Pale” Murphy Almaty have a full squad. They welcome the return of Jeremy “Safehands” Sweetnam who proved he can take a ball by catching one of the footballs Rod Stewart kicked into the crowd last week. Unfortunately, John “I can’t believe I’m cut again!” Murphy has not been given a recall. The Sunday World is publishing a full-page interview by John “So Bitter” Murphy on this outrageous decision.
