The first game of the season saw a tight affair, with Albion coming out 2-1 winners over last season’s champions, St Georges.

This week’s “Man of the Match†was exactly the opposite, with a landslide win. Joint third were Ralph and Stew with a vote a piece (they didn’t vote for each other!) and following his “wonder strike†Carlile was second with 2 votes.
Walking it with 9 votes was goalkeeping man mountain, Walter. Picking up where he left off last season with countless saves, including 2 “one-on-one†duels and impeccable handling throughout (we’ll forgot about the first half kicking!).
In the Henri Leconte stakes, it was a disappointing first week for Jade. He managed a couple of votes for differing events, there was the running across the pitch after the game had kicked off, bollocking the team for researching the opposition – then asking us how they got on the week previous and a bizarre telephone exchange with “man of the match†winner Walter.
“I’m behind you….
as in behind your back….
behind you…
no the other side….
yeah behind you…
can you see me?….
no the other way….
behind you!â€
Duncan also picked up a couple of votes, for his bog roll request and also 2 votes (which technically makes him this week’s runner-up) for his “expertly timed†tackle in the box.
However, unfortunately I have to concede that I’m this week’s winner with more than a couple of votes for my post game faux pas.
Thinking I will still texting my mrs, I sent the following text, “run a bath for me please gorg. x†Unfortunately, this ended up in Jade’s inbox and he took delight in letting all those present know of my mistake. Oh, we laughed.
Strangely, I received the following message hours later. “You still want that bath, big man? I’ve put bubbles in and promise I give the best tit wank this side of the river!â€
