X-S Got Faked

Fake Madrid did just enough to see off the challenge of X-S with a score of 2-1, where each team dominated each half respectively. It was a tight game, with chances coming fast and furious, topped with a beautiful curling effort from star midfielder MaShaunrano which was X-S only saving grace. I shall let Jose Booninho do the match analysis.

Nizarazu however had 3 things to comment to captain Fabreyas, being mainly tighter marking, more off-the-ball movement and goalkeeping. X-S has to improve on this performance, seeing that ESPZEN begins on 20th July. Away jerseys have to be prepared by someone. Next week's friendly, can someone handle it?

"My apologies to everyone I've screamed at and scolded in every match, but its just the competitive nature I have in me. I hope you guys understand," explained captain Fabreyas.

A sleepy substitutes bench perhaps?


Rio Ferdineng was always bound to model with his chiseled good looks and tall height,
but who'd believe camera-shy WAGs? They were probably disgusted by the photographer, BacaNuri Sagna.



Team photos. Farrell's a bitch for smiling when everyone is not, vice versa.






Til' next time mates. And speedy recovery to Ferdineng for his swollen ankle, sustained while stopping his opposite number in full flight.

Time To Up The Ante

Ok guys, league is commencing soon and we're gonna need everyones cooperation to make things happen. Playing badly and owing people money (looks at Singh) will not help. Having phone sex with the ESPZEN girl who keeps calling me, will.

On the other hand, we should start concentrating on the football every weekend and how to improve further. Time to get into some serious business. Bribing referees is not an option, since we don't even have enough cash to pay for the league matches itself.

Daniel Alves, our treasurer, will start hounding people for money very soon as deadline for the first 4 matches (SGD 600) is this Wednesday (250608).

Someone else is also needed to make us an away kit. Any volunteers? You can run, but I run faster. =)

Match this weekend at NUS. I seriously hope it goes through or somebody's gonna get hurt real bad.

Happy Birthday to Emmanuel Aminbayor, who won't be joining us as he'll be in Sentosa.

Happy Belated Birthday to Yeong Kai Ru, our former waterboy (cos I'm not even sure he could be considered a player. HAHA). Here's a tribute.

Mavericks send X-S Crashing.. Or So They Thought

X-S drew 2-2 with the Mavericks despite a really scrappy and poor performance in the first half. All the goals came in the second period, after the bell rang at Sembawang Sec and class 2/5 were having Art Lessons with Avram Grant's sister, Ms Tirza Grant. She had no doubt taught the boys a good lesson in fighting spirit as X-S equalised twice to level the score.

X-S defenders claimed that both goals conceded were offsides, but too bad for them, there were no linesmen. As ESPZEN beckons, performances like today cannot afford to be repeated. The entire team played poorly, and everyone had a bad moment although some had good moments but eventually it's all bad to be fair to those who had no good moments, so we declare the match as a bad moment. Its suspected that X-S players were suffering from "nonsundaychikungunyamatch" disease, affecting their performances as long as they play on any day other than Sunday. Let's hope this situation does not arise again.

However, it must be noted that the team was performing at a level unknown to the fans of late, so poor that it should be erased from the memory of humankind. Yong Tevez climbed to the Top Scorers Chart with a well-taken header from 0.000000001247mm out thanks to good attacking play from fullback Wei Jia, which culminated into a pinpoint cross. Colin-Hazim Richards scored his second in 2 matches in a goal-mouth scramble after a DELISH inswinging corner from Fabreyas. It must be noted that that was the only inswinging corner he got in the entire game. Who knows what the scoreline would be had there been more inswingers.

Which leads to the balance problem that X-S faces. We only have a left-footer in the team, who is effectively playing for another team. The balance is lacking. The yin and yang. Ping and pong. The left and right.

Eng and his golden voice has to be trained, as he needs to be audible if he's going to command any respect, or anyone for that matter. Booney on the other hand has to start shooting from outside the penalty box or, well, nothing. Derek and Bhai should get married for smiling so much in the game, as if they were the happiest people to grace the pitch on Sembawang Sec.

We expect Ronalidinho to have been beaten to pulp by SmackDat FC after running home, despite saying he'll play for them. The PFA has also announced Bacanury Sagna's removal from the Team Of The Year after his record number of foul-throws. At least one in every match he's played in.

With all due respect to Mavericks, X-S should have been home and dry had Tevez chosen to shoot at the gaping goal instead of the kids who were screaming "referee kayu!" on the 99th floor of the block beside Sembawang Sec, OR had Fabreyas' long-range effort found the back of the net instead of planting a SMACKDOWN on the crossbar.

X-S is going to release 2 new songs for the fans, the first being "We All Dream of A Team Of Farrellghers" which shall be sung to the tune of the Beatles' "We All Live In A Yellow Submarine" and the second is "Referee Kayu" which shall be sung to the tune of Malay Pop Hit, "Gadis Ayu".

Til' the next match, adieu.

Friendly reminder to all players.

This week's match will be on a saturday, as 3 of our players will be taking part in a 'cage' tournament on sunday. All the best to ferdineng, fabreyaz and habib bhai-ye.
Venue this sat is sembawang sec, time 3pm. Yellow top and no boxers.

ok, i've being assigned to do the match report. i will give it a go, i will try my best, i try not to let anyone down, especially my captain fabreyaz, who has given me support and encouragement to do the report. and also to my fella mahjong kah-kis, fans fav wee beckham, vice captain farrell terry, and our manager derek o'leary, for losing money to me, which has helped to make my day better, which in turn enabled me to willingly do the match report.

anyway as for the mahjong game, we took nearly 3hrs+ to complete it. wee beckham was dong feng aka east wind followed by derek me and lastly farrell bei feng. farrell terry had no luck throughout the game at all, winning 3 times only. but his last win was a 5tai zhi muo, which allowed him to breathe easier (despite the amount of tar and nicotine in his windpipe).

as for manager derek o'leary, he had a winning streak of 6 consecutive games, which frustrated the cig-tasty farrell to the point that their friendship was nearly at an end. ultimately, both o'leary and terry will end up losing 13 bucks each. wayne booney gleefully collected the 25 bucks, leaving a dollar as tip for wee beckham.

but come to think of it, i just realised i was doing a mahjong game report, not the soccer game. haha, no, not because we are boring opponents to submission with another 1-0 win, which defeats the purpose of a match report. hey, we won 5-1. that's 5 goals in a match, more than the total number of goals we scored for the past 4 matches.

i won't go into details about the goals. yong tevez scored the first, ilhan manqif followed up with a brace, and manqif's fellow turkish mate, colin hazim-richards. the fourth goal, THE FOURTH GOAL, was scored by wayne booney. a delightful freekick taken by 2nd half goalie antti nieqib finds booney one-on-one with the opposing goalie. at that moment, booney was caught in two minds whether to lob the goalie, or round the keeper. either way he would have scored, so he chose to take the harder and challenging route, successfully. his shot attempt was meant to hit the post before going in, but missed by an inch or two only. still a goal is a goal, wayne booney was praised by captain fabreyaz, as he likened booney to the brazilian maestro klakar.

the goal took booney back to the top of the goal scoring chart, albeit sharing the spot with yong tevez (that's teamwork for u). and did i mention this? x-s boasts goalscorers from almost every player.

lastly, special mention to our absentees today. wee beckham will be fined 7 or 23 quid for refusing to turn up for the match. no wonder farrell terry mentioned wee beckham will never get a chance to play at centre half as long as terry is present. strong words.

and presenting to u our quote of the day, by captain fabreyaz - all 11 players got 2 legs 2 hands 2 eyes 2 balls 1 cock (size doesn't matter). why scared?!

ok.

since someone complain dat he is tired of always updating the blog.

i will try.

my first ever entry.

-_-

today the x-s fc won with an amazing scoreline.

well, u guess it right. 10-0.

wait typo error, 1-0.

again.

courtesy of a lob.

by yong tevez.

it was a massive perfomance from the happy harpies

who were up against the HTA team.

of prison and police and scdf

and all the home team watever they are made of.

kudos to singapore.

we started off well, with our regulars starters,

mainly the star attraction goalkeeper,

grederek coupet,

back from international duty from france,

to yet cap another marvellous clean sheet.

albeit one ingenious moment.

where he picked up a backpass with his hands.

after he stopped the ball with his feet.

and yeah farrellegher,

we know u cleared the indirect freekick.

kudos to that.

1st half went strong, where we dominated,

with centre half, ferdineng and farrellgher,

fullbacks bacanury sagna and yong berto carlos.

in midfield, mashaunarano and fabreyaz,

the flanks were wei jia (damn we need to give this guy a nick name)

and wayne booney, who missed an open goal,

but we still love him.

coming back from a long absence,

was yong tevez strike partner,

khairulnaldo.

abt the goal,

the goal came i forgot how.

alamak. sorry.

no camera replay.

thats what boon always says when he miss something.

second half started with the subs coming out with full force.

shahraul the boyan at rightback,

hafizo the botak at leftback,

with old timers kim chi and nizarrazu back in the side.

ronalidinho was at right mid.

and the rest was the same.

2nd half was the same excitement as the first,

with a whole lot of chances at both ends.

nizarazu had a wonderful shot saved,

by the best player in the opposition,

the gk fabian barHTAez.

the best highlight besides the grederek coupet errror

was our capt, fabreyaz,

wanting to have a copy of our absentee jasdeep,

who had a car crash, which eng said,

"wah finally".

good luck paying $1300.

the x-s will always support you,

emotionally.

talking abt the capt, he tried a cheeky penalty,

won by alamak i also forgot who.

yeah, too cheeky dat the penalty miss.

i want to explain how he kick i also dunno how to type and say.

like he over kick his right leg to kick with his left leg,

but the right leg was actually a fake,

then the left leg hit the ball.

geddit?

ah anyways, the x-s are on the winning streak.

maybe bcoz of the good luck charm ladies on the bench today.

why cant we have a lot of farrells on our team?

oh wellss...

this is my first entry.

well guess who wrote ah.
