Weekend Match of The Week

La Squadra Ciclista Timmissimo - currently 12th

(League winner 2004-05, Champions Cup winner 2002-2003)

versus

Golmember Toight - currently 5th

(Losers Cup winner 2002-2003)

The former is the most successful club in La Liga history and the latter is the perennial nearly men. Although contrasting in fortune, the rivalry between these two clubs are intense. Although Timmissimo made a sluggish start (by their standards) to the season, they are using this match as a launching pad to put a good run of form to fill more trophies in its cabinet.

A section of Timmissimo's extreme left wing known as Ultras have vandalised part of the club's Velodrome (& not stadium coz its a cycling club maa) to demonstrate its anger over the club's position below Razzmatazz in the league.

Week 11 and The Champions Cup

Week 11 saw some of the lowest scoring in the history of Liga. The top scorer for the week was Liverpool Always FC with 96.50 points. He was the only team with the Ameobi / Emre combination. Woeihern Warriors maintained their position at the top of the Liga for the second consecutive week. Their lead is extended from 3 points last week to almost 30 points this week. The lowest scorer for the week was Porno FC with only 30 points.

Week 12 marks the start of the Champions Cup. The final four teams to qualify into the 1st Phase are Synergy, KL Kangtao, Venus XI and El Madrigal. For those that didn’t qualify a UEFA Cup style knock out competition will start after the end of the 1st Phase of the Champions Cup.

Fall From Grace II

It was quite a remarkable fall for Porno from being in the chasing pack down to 15th. This is a record drop. Porno also managed to record lowest score of the season.

Still smarting from my 2 week slump all I can say is...

Nigga, I feel ya!

Week 11

All that fuss over Henry and he scrapes a 2 pointer ... sigh! Not only that, they totally botched a penalty ... bledding pair of french fairies!! And LSC ... your neighbourly rival, JFC has just overhauled you into 6th place.

JFC ... share some tips ... which tokong or cemetry was that?!

Week 10 in Review

Week 10 saw a new team top the Liga with WoeiHern Warriors leading The Liga by a mere 3 points to the Maniacs and 3.5 points to EoS. Week 10 also was also a record breaking week as Venus XI became the first female managed team to top score in a Week. Venus XI accumulated 122 points for week 10. At the other end of the spectrum, Injured All Stars got the lowest points for the week.

Week 10 was also the first round matches for the final qualifying stage for the Champions Cup. I will forward everyone the e-mail tommorrow with the updated scoresand results from the first leg. Week 11 will be the second leg of the qualifying.

For all the teams that have automatically qualified, please be aware that Week 12 will be the commencement for the first stage of the Competition.

All the best for Week 11.

Return of The King

Thierry Henry, The King if Fantasy Football, returns to the realm this weekend after scoring both goals in Arsenal’s 2-0 Champions League victory. Who will restructure their teams to accommodate Henry? Who will play without Henry and maintain a strong midfield? What about the teams with Lampard, will they drop Lamps for Henry? Is Henry really that worth it at 25+ units?

Many questions to be answered and the correct decision could determine the King of Liga in May.

p/s : finally, teams might look different again after weeks of teams looking fairly similar.

Malaysia Boleh Bersukan

It’s not often Malaysia makes headlines in the sporting news. Today there are two results that deserve its credit.

Story 1
Place : Manchester, UK.
Date : 16/10/2005
Sport : Squash

Nicol David became the first Malaysian to reach the Finals of the prestigious British Open when she defeated World No.1 and two time defending Champion Rachel Grinham of Australia. Nicol, 22 years old and World No.3, has won all the other age-group titles at the British Open. This is her first attempt at the Senior class and she enters the Finals as favourite as the other two semi-finalists are ranked 4th and 7th in the world respectively.

Story 2
Place : Maaspoort, Holland.
Date : 16/10/2005
Sport : Badminton

Malaysian men dominated the Dutch Open with Hafiz Hashim crowned the Men’s Singles Champion and the combination of Choong Tan Fook & Lee Wan Wah winning the Men’s Doubles title. Although some of the higher ranked Chinese and Indonesian players chose to not play in the Dutch Open, the win is still something to be proud of.

Now, lets hope that Nicol wins the British Open and the A1 GP team have a good race in Estoril, Portugal this weekend.

Just Like His Cousin Marco

The great but flawed Marco Pantani died of cocaine overdosed triggered by acute depression. He was singled out and prosecuted by the UCI and Italian authorities. Marco, on his day, was poetry in motion.

Zoom to the present time....

Just like his half cousin, the defending champion is going through severe bout of depression. No amount of prozac, lithium and other happy pills can get La Campionissimo out of his hole. One more bad week and he will call it a day, pack his bag and move to a cabin, deep in the jungle. He will live a life of a recluse and grow his beard and hair, and eat wild berries.

Week 8 In Review

After the completion of Week 8, only two teams have maintained an average of over 100 points a week. The two teams above the 800 point mark is Enemy of the State and Malaysian Maniacs. There were many movements up and down the Liga table but the most noted was Woeihern Warriors jump from 6th to tied 3rd and Knife Fork & Spoons drop from 5th to 10th place. Bangsargooner got the most points with 141.5 points. With this they climbed from 21st to 14th place. Team Gunny Gugu made the blunder of having only 10 players hence receiving 0.00 points.

The EPL will take a one week break with the next matches being in Week 10. Week 10 will also be the next round of the qualifying for the Champions Cup for The Liga. Please check your e-mail as I will forward the updated Excel file early this week.
