Can Almaty bounce back?

After last week’s shocking defeat (Almaty’s first of the season) the players are aiming to get back on track as they face 2 Touch tonight. The squad have weighed in behind Gaffer Spratt who was devastated after last week’s organisational fiasco. “Mistakes happen - he is still the best accountant this team has” commented Sweetnam. After Madrid could not match Almaty’s valuation for their Portugesse whizkid, Machado came out in support of the beleaguered Gaffer. “Come on guys, I never wanted to leave you!”

Phil “never gives up” Smith returns to the squad after a week’s holidays in the Canaries. He was put through a gruelling 1 ½ hour Sun footie session last night and will hopefully have sweated out all of the excess alcohol from his system. The only absentee is Billy “D4” Murphy who has been loaned out to a team from Dublin. “OMG I couldn’t believe it when the Gaffer said he was sending me on loan to Foxtrot AFC – they are soooo the best team in the suburbs.”

Whilst the title is now FC Miracle’s to lose Almaty can only hope that City Ramblers will get a result against their arch rivals next week to set-up a grand finale when Almaty face FC Miracle on the last day of the season.

Galvin here - what is the table looking like? I think you just need to accept the panel this year isnt up to scratch - major overall required next season starting at the top!

Shut your trap Galvin! There is a strong case to argue that the class of '09 is better than '08 even if it looks as if we may not claim the silverware. With 3 games to go we've 68 scored versus a total of 44 for last season.

Marco's got way better tricks than you ever had!

Gaffer, you know i was all about the end result! Those two astro hoodies i have are coming in very handy in asia - if you want another one i could probably hook you up when i get back!
