Good day,
First up, i'm back in town tomorrow, and will hopefully (if I get in) be playin a spot of something-a-side with melee once again.
Prepare yourselves for some copmosed finishing, combative tackling, combined with a dash of the swagger that you love to hate.
Wonderful.
Secondly, I realise (as current-jonny-abroad), i have let the side down on pictures and posts. Pete will do a better job for the next 35 years that he will be in the states.
I actually have some pics that i'll whack up here after i come back from inglaterra.
..and finally. Hands up who wants to go and do a spot of this at some point
San joan - Its fun to get trampled on by horses
Only 1 melee.

Match Report 2nd May 2007
The biggest game of the season.
Team Handsome are the only team other than Melee that seem to be able to beat the other teams in the league, so this game appeared to be a tester for Melee. However, the whole team and even the pitch-invasion predictor seemed fairly confident that Melee would cruise it.
I can't really remember much of the game so this wont be the longest match report ever.
Team sheet - Kevo, Dave, Ports, Justyn, Samuel, Pete and Tafey (I don't know how to spell his name so I might have to stick with calling him new guy).
Things started brightly for Melee with Team Handsome not looking to happy with each other, a bit of arguing in the ranks lead to them going down 2-0. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Samuel scored both of them. Second half things went slightly down hill, a perhaps premature descision saw Kevo (who thought it was 3-0) coming out of goal for Samuel. At this point Melee got a bit bored with the game and decided to let in a couple of goals to make it more interesting (perhaps because some people thought it would still be 3-2). No recovery was even thought about before the ref blew for full time. End result 2-2.
Highlights of the game - can't remember
Man of the match - can't remember
Comical moments - erm let me think, nope can't remember
Speculation
- Goalkeeper Kevin Webb may take a few weeks off, local papers believe that it is to deal with a potential computer game addiction.
- Defensive Rock David Couper will be serving his six week ban (recieved this week for mooning referee Xavier S. Wang) starting after next weeks match. At a press conference Couper was heard trying to claim the strikers role for his last match. He was quickly denied by his manager.
- Justyn Singlehurst's guide to football will be released this week. 'Flailing arms - how they've worked for me' is set to sell 23 copies, a record for a Melee player.
