With Yarsene Wenger gone, Rafarrell Benitez looks set to instil his style of play into his players. Compassionate Yarsene has always given his players chances and chances even though they dont perform. IT WILL HAPPEN NO LONGER!!!

Rafarrell is a strict disciplinarian who rules with an iron fist. The first to go will have to be Derek Neo Khee Peng after his atrocious showing in the previous game. He simply played as the opposition with his fucked up defending. Derek will be transfer listed and looks set to leave the club for Leeds United. The new right back set to arrive looks to be Cicineo. Tenacious in the tackle, brave and adventurous, he seems the clone of Derek. But we hope for some better commitment.

This post doubles as a warning to all players of X-S FC. Rafarell Benitez will take no nonsense! Players who arrive late for matches will not be tolerated! There will be no prima donnas no star players and no egos. No more half fucked performances. This is a team!

X-S played a mini-match against Mayon today at Khatib. They drew first blood when Farrell delivered a cross a la Beckham and Amin powered a header home. Soon, it was 2-0 as X-S doubled the scoreline. From then, the match was being played in the Mayon half. However, as soon as Kim left the match to visit Ali's home, X-S wilted under pressure and conceded two goals in quick succession. Former on-loan player who is captain of Mayon, Thaqif, assisted both goals. Sissyneo lived up to his name as he single-handedly scored for the opponent. Here's an elaboration of his own goal as he wants it. Firstly, his half-fuck clearance went to the opposing team in the X-S half. Their striker then attempted a half-fuck cross-shot that Derek kicked forcefully into his own net, beating the invincible Muhsin. He made many fabulous saves today, drawing praise from even the opponents.

Its the start of a new era for X-S from today onwards. Everythings changing, as the transition to adulthood becomes more evident. From dicks to manhood. Ali has been thrusted alot of responsibilty at such an early stage in life. I assure him that we will be there if he ever needs our help in any way possible. Kim arrived with RZ in his brother's car, a Hyundai Trajet. Nuri and Yasin each rode a motorcycle to the game. Seems that its only a matter of time before everyone has a licence and their own vehicle. Bhai is currently taking both Class 2B and Class 3 licences.

X-S is also proud to announce that Daniel and team captain Yasin are headed to OCS to join Shahrul and Huda. They will be missed in the coming months as the team captaincy is handed to service medic, Farrell. (As ironic as it is.) Amin said, "Like that, we won't be playing anymore matches." However, we all hope that its not true. X-S fans will definitely miss the team's beautiful football.

X-S FC seems to have found their form of the good old days. Today's resounding 3-0 win over the Indo team justifies the statement. I believe this to be mainly due to the increased fitness of the entire team after attending their respective Military Schools. Furthermore, the team has found a good balance and good understanding in the squad.

Xabi Ahlongso, Jasdeep and Nizar Mansiz scored to secure the win for X-S against worthy opponents. The team was on fire as manager Jose Booninho's e-lessons which were posted on the team website for the past month definitely helped. Especially the lesson on passing as the team played some slick passing throughout the whole match.

With Nizar arriving late, Ahlongso and Fabreyaz paired up in attack. A devastating partnership that Luis Aragones should consider in the national team. They constantly pressured the oppositions backline and eventually, their goalkeeper fumbled allowing Long to tap-in easily. From then on, the team controlled the game.

The Indons almost came back but Yongliango and Derek combined to clear the danger off the line. Man-of-the-Match Tan Zhong Lun was the rock at the back and even went up to join the atttack at times. Farrell felt so safe, he even tried to let the opposition steal the ball from him as he danced around just outside the penalty area. Once, Zhong even tackled 3 men, one by one before joining the attack. His precise long passes from the back are a welcome addition to the team's arsenal.

Former No. 1 Wei Liang has proven that he can double as a midfield anchor cum destroyer. He played there and broke up many of the opposition's attacks by throwing his weight around and even winning headers. New No. 1 Muhsin was at his usual shot-stopping best as he kept a clean sheet. Fabreyaz and Daniel ran the whole field as usual. Boon Leng and Bhai played neat touches and Nizar was at his normal. He ONLY did one bicycle kick and scored a screamer into the top corner with one touch. Yeap. Thats his usual self.

The fans at Stade de Gan Eng Seng were treated to a footballing feast today....thanks to....
X-S FC!
