<\/a>This week’s “Henri Leconte”<\/p><\/div>\n
During the opening exchanges it was clear that the Albion we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re playing well and had a very good chance of getting a positive result.<\/p>\n
The game flowed back and forth, mainly down the wings, before AFC Hammersmith opened the scoring with an excellent move and finish. 1 nil to the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc Smith.<\/p>\n
Albion did not let their heads drop and continued to play good football, eventually equalising 5 minutes before half-time with Steve slotting a Harry pass straight into the bottom left using his RIGHT foot.<\/p>\n
The second half didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite live up to the first, with both teams creating chances to win but ultimately the game finished 1-1.<\/p>\n
There were many fine performances, in particular from the defence and this was reflected in the MOM voting.<\/p>\n
Luke picked up a vote for a “fine right back performance”. In third place with 3 votes, was Neil for a solid performance at left back which included some great passing phases down the wing. In second was Woody with 3 votes for a great defensive performance in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Dave Role\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
However, clear winner was Matt Mc for a faultless and combative performance at centre half. Clearly showing without a litre of vodka in his system, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a great defender!<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Henri Leconte\u00e2\u20ac\u009d saw Woody and Matt B picking up a vote for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153terrible misses\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Aleks scored a vote (no reason given!) and Will C for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153being put through a human Corby trouser press\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, whilst winning a header against their 6.5ft centre back. The Smith\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s LB also picked up a vote for his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tourette\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
In second place was the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153comedy duo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on the side of the pitch, for a variety of reasons ranging from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153threatening to see people after the game\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153swearing at their own players\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and such like.<\/p>\n
The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153winner\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was one half to the duo, namely the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153greaseball\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
