Big game this week lads. Playing second in the league and a win is essential to keep up with the pace. New signing Jonny Scottish has been drawn in, and expectation surrounding him is high. Will Jonny Fudge be fit!????

Ricky Gervais has brought out two new episodes as the office's star David Brent, where he plays a mangement consultant. I have to confess, i haven't actually watched these yet (cos i'm at work), but i'm reliably informed that they are hilarious.

Sussex Cup - Last Sunday

Last Sunday Melee took the field in the Sussex Cup 5-a-side tournament , held in Brighton.

After nearly missing the first game, due to the fact we got lost it was apparent that things may start off with a poor result. Indeed they did, Melee losing 2-1, however slightly unlucky with the result. After a half hour break the second game of the group stage saw us come from 1-0 down to win 2-1, with goals from picnic and crouchinho. The turning point had began. Another hard worked 2-1 victory in the third game, goals from fudge and picnic saw us take up first place in the league. The fourth game saw Melee turn up and destroy their opponents 6-0 with some great passing moves. Superb goals, from fudge, jonny, crouchinho and picnic (3) left Melee still at the top with one league game to go. With a point required from the last game to top the group and automatic qualification already achieved, Melee failed to play the same footy they been previously in the tournament and lost 2-0. With other results not going their way, left Melee going through in second place.

With this fact a draw against a top half team saw us take on Jackson 6 in the second round. A hardworking performance saw us take the lead with an excellent individual goal from sam. Unfortunaetly we could only hold the lead for less than a minute. Half time saw the score 1-1. Second half Melee began to tire, with some superb saves from fickle keeping them in the game. However Jackson 6 hit us on the counter attack, broke through and slotted the ball home to take the lead with 3mins to go. Late chances saw picnic have shots saved, hit the post and had the keeping cheating by sliding in, however it was not to be and Melee had to go home after a 2-1 loss.

Great performances from everyone who played on Sunday. I was very proud of everyone and we gave it 100% effort. Thanks goes out to the famliy in the volkswagen for the smarties.

Surely not

Fit Kits

At least we looked good lads. As Take That once said 'things can only get better'.

Bath

Melee took a trip to bath. Well, I say melee, it was supposed to be, but then picnic jonny felt tired/wanted to play poker, fudge jonny had a 'sleep-over' at a friend's house (heard that one before), and jonny lost-at-poker was badly influenced by his jane and decided not to come.
Replacements were, Mexciano Al and Jane.

Canny trip still despite the drop-outs. Windsor, Bath and Oxford all visited and conquered.

Tax man

Possibly the best letter ever to come out of the Inland Revenue....Taken from the Guardian, an actual letter sent by the Inland Revenue:

Dear Mr Addison,

I am writing to you to express our thanks for your more than prompt reply to our latest communication, and also to answer some of the points you raise. I will address them, as ever, in order.

Firstly, I must take issue with your description of our last as a "begging letter". It might perhaps more properly be referred to as a "tax demand". This is how we at the Inland Revenue have always, for reasons of accuracy, traditionally referred to such documents.

Secondly, your frustration at our adding to the "endless stream of crapulent whining and panhandling vomited daily through the letterbox on to the doormat" has been noted. However, whilst I have naturally not seen the other letters to which you refer I would cautiously suggest that their being from "pauper councils, Lombardy pirate banking houses and pissant gas-mongerers" might indicate that your decision to "file them next to the toilet in case of emergencies" is at best a little ill-advised. In common with my own organisation, it is unlikely that the senders of these letters do see you as a "lackwit bumpkin" or, come to that, a "sodding charity". More likely they see you as a citizen of Great Britain, with a responsibility to contribute to the upkeep of the nation as a whole.

Which brings me to my next point. Whilst there may be some spirit of truth in your assertion that the taxes you pay "go to shore up the canker-blighted, toppling folly that is the Public Services", a moment's rudimentary calculation ought to disabuse you of the notion that the government in any way expects you to "stump up for the whole damned party" yourself. The estimates you provide for the Chancellor's disbursement of the funds levied by taxation, whilst colourful, are, in fairness, a little off the mark. Less than you seem to imagine is spent on "junkets for Bunterish lickspittles" and "dancing whores" whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, "that box-ticking facade of a university system."

A couple of technical points arising from direct queries:
1. The reason we don't simply write "Muggins" on the envelope has to do with the vagaries of the postal system;
2. You can rest assured that "sucking the very marrows of those with nothing else to give" has never been considered as a practice because even if the Personal Allowance didn't render it irrelevant, the sheer medical logistics involved would make it financially unviable.

I trust this has helped. In the meantime, whilst I would not in any way wish to influence your decision one way or the other, I ought to point out that even if you did choose to "give the whole foul jamboree up and go and live in India" you would still owe us the money. Please send it to us by Friday.

Yours sincerely,
H J Lee

A New Season Is Upon Us

Right lads, its one week to go til the new Melee season begins. We are now playing on Weds nights in Welwyn (Gosling Sports Centre). We have been placed in the Premiership division so far, but I may try and get us relegated before next week!

The new website for Pitch Invasion Leagues is here. You can also check out information bout the Brighton Cup competition that we are playing in on the 13th August.

I have a registration sheet for all players, so if you wanna register i need your DOB and address. Obviously thats only really needed for jonny abroad/green as they wont be around to play next week.

Kit also needs to be purchased for the new season ahead. Im thinking a trip into Luton on Saturday for a new kit should be on the cards.

The squad (in no particular order): Jonny, Jonny Jonny, Crouchinho, Playboy, Abroad, Green, Fudge, Picnic, Jimmy, Samba, Married - any others are as always welcome to join the squad.

If we get 6 to play each week it costs a fiver each. Bring on the new season!!!

Fantasy Football

There's a fantasy football league been set up for the new season. Its quite a good one, as you have to have some weak players in your squad.

England friendly....

Alright guys! Long time since the last post.

I am absolutely bamboozled as to sven's selection in the england uruguay friendly. Someone must have an answer for me.

Alright, so the world cup is a few months away, and i'm pretty sure that if that wasn't the last friendly before the squad is announced, there can only be at most 1 more (someone's definately gonna prove me wrong).
Sven says that he knows all but maybe three places in the squad. Fair enough. So in this squad there were, presumably, players 'fighting' for a place. Out of the squad he selected, presumably these players are Young, Brown, Richardson, Carrick and Bent.
Why on earth, pray tell, did he leave 3 of these 5 on the bench? surely the most pointless friendly since people made friends.

Will Saturday Ever Come!

BBC have been looking back at the players of the 96 FA cup final, and trace where they are today. I've doctored it a little most were quite dull but there are a couple of jems:

But the 1996 FA Cup final will always be remembered for the remarkable white suits worn by the Liverpool players. Predictably being called the Spice Boys in line with the hysteria surrounding the future Mrs Beckham and company at the same time, they set out to impress off the field as well as on it. But their efforts did not have the desired effect as Liverpool were unable to replicate their success four years earlier, falling 1-0 to an Eric Cantona after 85 minutes.

Here BBC Sport traces those who wore white on that day back in 1996 and those who lifted the trophy.

Phil Neville Played in the same Lancashire Schools cricket team as Andrew Flintoff but was a club stalwart at the other Old Trafford before being sold to Everton in the summer.

David May After joining from Blackburn Rovers in 1994, he suffered the double disappointment of finding it hard to displace Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister in the centre of defence while his former team-mates at Ewood Park won the Premiership. May eventually left Old Trafford for Burnley in 2003 and ended up playing in the North West Counties League for Bacup Borough.

Eric Cantona Still idolised at Old Trafford, Cantona joined United for £1.2m from Leeds in November 1992. The mercurial and controversial figure surprisingly retired a year after the final and has since been involved in beach football, a bit of acting and a voiceover for Asterix cartoons.

John Barnes Barnes, who played 79 times for England, was made the highest-paid player in the country soon after joining the Reds in 1987, rumoured to be on £9,000 a week. Despite capturing winners medals in 1989 and 1992, perhaps his most memorable FA Cup achievement will be his starring role on the number three smash the Anfield Rap. Retired in 1999 and is now a presenter on Channel Five.

David James His idea for the white suits was as wise as his decision to come for the corner that led to Cantona's winner. James carved out a successful career despite being maligned for errors. Has lost his England place to Spurs' Paul Robinson despite some solid displays for Manchester City.

100th Post

Thought i'd just steal the 100th post with nothing to say

History repeats itself...

RED-FACED IN THE CUP
Martin, With the forthcoming FA Cup tie between Liverpool v Man Utd on the horizon I was wondering when was the last time Liverpool beat Man Utd in the FA Cup. I am a Utd fan, and have to admit I cannot remember it happening, no doubt it has and I am sure you will be able to set me straight. Regards, Nick..

Martin says: I am not surprised you can't remember it happening Nick because Liverpool haven't beaten Manchester United in the FA Cup since January 1921. In fact, in 14 FA Cup matches between the two sides, including replays, Manchester United have won eight, drawn four and Liverpool have only won twice. Apart from the 2-1 replay win on January 21 1921, the only other time Liverpool have triumphed over United in the Cup was in 1891, another 2-1 replay win on February 16. Another win this season, and they could reach one per century. The last time the two teams met in the FA Cup was in the fourth round in 1999 when late goals from Dwight Yorke and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer cancelled out an early Michael Owen strike. Prior to that, you as a United fan will remember Eric Cantona's winner in the last final between the two teams in 1996..

(by the way, next post is the 100th!)

Blockbuster Challenge for the jonnys....

Many an afternoon of our youth was spent watching bob whats-his-face in what is surely one of the greatest quiz shows of all time. Alright probably not. Either way, many an afternoon will be taken up in this challenge:

In this version, the first person to get both vertical and horizontal lines wins.

In this version, there are no questions

In this version, bob doesn't exist

In this version, the globe is your 'letter grid'

Rules:
Valid End Points:
Vertical:
>(North):Canada, Greenland, Russia
>(South): Argentina/Chile, South Africa, New Zealand (Thought i'd save us the trip to the south pole)
Horizontal:
This is much harder. In the horizontal challenge, the line of countries visited must meet up!!

Obviously there will be huge dodgyness in terms of crossing oceans, especially on the east west routing. The only way this can be ruled is surely by using Risk as our guide! Therefore, going from south america, can only go to North America or north west africa. You know the score.

Here are a couple of examples of winning routes:

Verb: to make stationary and leave

you could be scouse

New Year for Al

al forget to mention himself

after his short visit to iceleand, al turns into a dedicated advocate of a fundemnetilist religious order choosing a life of sobriety and celebacy.

here he becomes known as albert the modest, although al quickly changes his mind and leaves the order just a short way into the new year!

Happy New Year

Alright guys,

Happy new year. This year is gonna be pretty wild. Here's a little taster as to what to expect to see this year:
- Daudi will become the father of a Diego Wayne Couper, in the hope that some of the talent stored in those names will rub off on his sweet, cute little daughter.
- Nikky F finds a brazilian girlfriend name Regiani, who looks suspiciously like a good friend of Samucas. He never returns to England.
- Kevo returns to the footballing scene. After a couple of games up front he decides that his future lies at left back, where he believes he can truly trouble the oppositions back line.
- Lukey boy gets engaged and begins looking at how much it would cost to rent a pyramid for the wedding. He finds out that it is a lot of money and decides to start working more hours. A 24hr Mcdonalds job bekons...
- Upon hearing of Diego's birth, Pedre decides that the married life is definately for him, and proposes to Rachel via text message from England. She says yes. Get in there pete
- Justyn's band, who shall change their name from stateless, to 'The Band Who Formerly Had No State', make it onto CD:UK. The performance goes well until Justyn is challenged to jump on stage and 1-0 Kermit The Pisser.
- Samuel has to face the humiliation of watching his beloved samba stars get knocked out in the group stage of the world cup. Ronaldinho's arrogant decision to play every game in flip-flops doesn't seem to have paid off. Samuca changes allegiances and is spotted getting a tattoo of Queen Elizabeth on his chest just hours before England pick up the prestigious trophy, beating ze germans in an exhilarating final that goes to penalties.

Nice one guys. In a bit.

Al.

Didier Drogba

Met Didier Drogba earlier on in the week, check it out:

13 Santas

Here is a pic of the 13 santa clauses that they have in iceland. Rather than the friendly santa-gives u a present tradition in england/states or wherever, they have 13 santas that come, 1 on each day of christmas, and steal stuff. Or do bad things. eg. The widow peaker - ie a pervert santa, and the door slammer, and the sausage stealer etc. They also have a wickied-witch type figure who is the mother of the santas and steals children, and an evil cat who eats the children who don't receive clothes for Christmas. Don't ask. Anyways here's a pic.



Coming next.... Didier Drogba relaxes in the arctic sun.

Food

Alright guys, thought I'd write a quick post detailing some of the strange foods that I have eaten since arrivin on wednesday:
Dried (raw) lamb
Sheeps head - incl. eye and tongue. Get in there
Skate - a ray-like fish which they slap in a pile or put it underground so that it rots and then eat it on the 23rd of december every year. Can't say that it tastes great. Tastes like thick strong glue.
Icelandic equivalence to black pudding and haggis
Raw fish

Basically, i'm ridic healthy after all that. Plus i've been havin spoonfulls of cod-liver oil every mornin. Bring on the next football game boys, i'm gonna be awesome.

Thought you might want me to give you an update of my icelandic 'adventure'. Basically, to start off with, justyn you can stop doing your little "hi my names jim and i work in a button factory" dance. No need mate-y. All gravy up in the dark cold north.

The photo was taken at mid-day today. Like, the sun just decided, rather like me, to stroll out of bed at noon. fair play i reckon.

Anyways ladies, i gotta go so hope your all havin a good time, and no doubt the 24th will be the best day ever for you peeps. Happy b-day fozzo. Have a good one.

MFA 2005

The first annual Melee Football Awards took place on Saturday night, with Redbourn’s ‘Chequers’ pub as the surroundings. Current manager Kevin Webb, who along with special guest Daz Carey oversaw the proceedings, presented the awards, which are voted for by fellow professionals. The ceremony took place over a nice meal, conveniently situated within walking distance of the infamous Fudge bar on the St. Albans road. There was little red-carpet treatment offered by the staff, as melee players again had to wait an exceptionally long time for their food to arrive.

The awards were kicked off with the prestigious Most Needed award. This year there was little doubt regarding who should win this and the absent Samba picked up this award.
The next award given out was due to be the School-Boy award. This was dropped from the schedule at the last minute for unknown reasons. A spokesperson for the ceremony said it seemed ‘a little harsh’.
The Work Horse award was next to be awarded, and it was handed out as a joint award to Justyn and Alex, both taking 33% of the vote.
Before Justyn had a chance to sit down, he had to collect another gong, or should I say post-it note. This time winning the unwanted Squanderer of the Year award. I’m sure he won’t keep that on his notice board.
It began to seem like it was going to be a ceremony full of absentees when the Rogue award was handed to Luke. Despite only having played 2 games in the current campaign, his ability to kick shins and argue with the ref meant that he just got the award from the clutches of his cousin Justyn by a single vote.
The Taxi award of the year went to Alex. The award was given for his, shall we say ‘unique’, performance when coming back from injury. Hampered by a severe, life-threatening illness, he took to arguing with the ref, presumably in the hope that he too would become ill. No illness materialised and Alex was sent to the stands for having bad breath.
The next award took a long time being given out. The Pele award, given for outstanding achievement in the area of show-boating genius, was awarded to Samuel who, by this time, had already slipped off down the road. (such an over-used joke, but just couldn’t resist it mate). Upon his return from the land of the yellow-hummer, he was handed the prestigious post-it. That’s definitely one to keep.
There were only two more awards to be handed out at this stage. The Player’s Player and the Manager’s Player. The Player’s Player was given jointly to three players, all receiving a third of the vote. These were Daudi, Nick and Samuel.
Finally, the Manager’s Player was given to Daudi. After an interview with the manager it was for “His ability to play on, even after he looked absolutely dead”.

Teams: Young and Old

A wee game

Stick man action

Finale

Not only is this the last game of the season, it is also the last Melee game of 2005 and, with no further matches scheduled, it could be the last game for a while. A win is as essential as doing a thorough check round a car before buying it, and as important as remembering to bend your knees when jumping off a balcony.
It will almost certainly be the last game for Andre aka Samba aka superman, as he heads back to his native land before travelling to India for 6 months next year.
Ideally, in an emotional occasion like this, you would want all the melee boys to be there. That can't be the case this time round unfortunately. With pedre busy proposing (and making me a rich man in the process), tom 'studying' at uni, luke spendin time with the pharoah, thats 3 down already. Add to that kevo on one leg, nick getting Sars/malaria and justyn having a graze on his knee, thats 6 down. Hopefully nick'll make it back for the game, or it might be a new recruit for the game in the form of Andrew Ciechan. (thats how you spell his surname by the way justyn).
Kick off this week is at 7pm, so whoever is driving will be doing the rounds about 6. The opposition is 'The Otter', who we beat last time round in what was probably the game of the season.

Melee(from): Andre, Daudi, Nick, Alex, Samuel, Kev

An old man was sitting on a bench in the shopping centre.
A teenager sat down next to him. He had spiked hair that
was red, orange, yellow, green, blue & violet.
The old man stared. Whenever the teenager looked
across, the old man was staring.
Finally, the teenager said sarcastically: "What's the
matter old boy, never done anything wild in your life?"
Without missing a beat the old man replied: "Got drunk
once and had sex with a peacock. Just wondering if you were my son!"

Can Melee Continue???

just thought i'd give you a couple of options for continuing Melee mid-week footy. check em out and give it your verdict.

1. football-mundial have leagues in dunstable and watford but website doesn't give details of prices or anything but it looks pretty pro. http://www.football-mundial.com/index.asp

2. Pitch-invasion is back in welwyn at gosling, so not far away. games have been extended to 36mins and its £30 a game
http://www.pitch-invasion.com/locations/locations.php?id_page_content=16#

3. Leisure leagues have ones in watford, st.albans and luton, game is only 26mins long but its only max £20. could be worth a look, they have hundreds of leagues going.

Jonnys

the first half saw some of the nicest most conving football melle has put together, samba nick and dave solid at the back, free runing flowing movement form alexy and sam was far too much for this shit team ane we well ahead, justyn came on for a bit - added an unnecessary edge to the game as we were doing well with the easy laid back style.

Still the boys pulled together well, Dace coops came off (man of the match) and we began to tire slughtly, had a 20 min lull but nothing to worry about. A concing win 17 11 maybe i dunno. Dave scored 6 which puts him top scorer of the game and chasing the golden boot award.

Jonny banter:

Magic in the air this weekend as the janes step into the thick of things:

Jonny coz has his 4 month anniversery with egyptian jane - whos flying out to ireland to see him. Mast as ive always said 'if you can 4 months you can go 57 years'

Alls Jane is coming down from manchester to watch the jonnys play football - she also might be going to brighton but im sure its mainly for the footy. in which we will see Sameuel make his debut. Shit me is the mid hearts league in for a treat.

Love to you all Jonnys

Nick has gone galivanting off to see his boyfriend in Preston and may or may not be back for the game. He loves to leave us guessing. Justyn has broken a toe nail or something and may remain out, apparently he has a manicure on thursday evenings at the moment so it depends whether he can squeeze a game in around that. Despite a great performance in goal last week, with samba-the-man back kevo drops to the bench. Moranginho is set to make his debut for Kings this weekend and will start on Thursday (no real surprise there)

Melee (from): Andre, Daudi, Alex, Samuel, Justyn, Nick

Match Report is Here!!

As the season turned festive Melee took to the rubber crumb on a horrible wet december night. With spirits low, a lack of warm-up and certain team members thinking about the Xbox 360 a slow start was on the cards. Melee went two down early doors with a couple of long range efforts that swerved viscously! Quickly Melee realised they needed to up their game and soon started place their influence on the opposition. A quick fire scoring spree saw all four outfield players score, the highlight coming as Daudi hammered in a long shot, to see Sam 'the special one' uel cheekily flick the ball through his legs to beat the stationery keeper.

This left the score 5-3 with Melee in the accendence. The rest of the first half saw some slick pass and move footy, although the opposition did their best to help make Melee look good. The Coup bro's worked hard both scoring a couple of excellent goals, while Samuca was his normal majestic self. Defensively Melee were in control with the ex-jonny panda commanding his back line, however some good play from one Chorleywood player left him scoring all the goals, mostly from long shots. Some neat finishing left Melee 12-6 up at half-time.

Melee kept to their normal tradition by starting the second half slower than an overweight tortoise. Chorleywood took advantage of the slack start and placed the ball past the keeper three times before Melee replied. Of course it was the wee 'magic man' who got involved with a nice passing move to finish the ball home. Second half finishing was poor compared to the first with al, sam and dave (pen) all missing from 3 yards. However the game never looked in doubt and Melee crusied to a 17-12 victory, collecting another 3 points to keep the very slim chance of promotion alive.

Highlights - Jonny Fudge nut megging one guy, strolling past another and finishing with a class far to good for the Chorley players

Lowlights - Team second half performance was lack luster as opposition should have been dominated. (as jonny said after the game - "they only had one guy, we should have man marked" - you could say wise words, you could say foolish, we will never know!!)

Player Ratings -

Samuel - 8 (MOM) - Brilliant again, superb tricks, great goals, bullied opposition defence

Alex - 8 - Worked tirelessly all game, scored some good goals and got back to make some crucial challenges.

Dave - 8 - Comfortable performance, part of some class passing moves, scored a cracker but missed a pen

Nick - 8 - Commanding performace at the back, never did anything wrong, had the striker in his pocket the whole game. Most goals were conceded from long range or keeper error.

Kev - 7 - Some good saves, some bad. some good distribution, some bad, but all in all not a bad return for a man who still cant walk properly

yours sincerley

the match report man

Match report comin soon

Kevo's gonna do the match report on saturday...

differences

Jonnys we are all one in the same
-none of us gay, we'd all take a jane
but there are some things between you and I
differences that are not easy to spy

some are relaxed, and some are laid back
while others are hyper, and coolness they lack
some are just fickle and talk all the time
while others are quiet, but have skill thats sublime

some won't stop shouting, and some like to moan
some can't yet run, some don't answer the phone
some get called home early, by mum or the wife
despite all these differences, what a great life!
