what an arse.
things were looking good, the nannas started brightly with a tight defense and some good early runs. The opposition had some moves but nothing overly threatening. Andy Wong opened the scoring with a speculative shot not far from the halfway line. Almost reminiscent of the shot from Cesc that put Arsenal into the lead on Tuesday night. There was some fantastic hustling from the nannas particularly Tom, Tao and Wal, pressing and suffocating space. Against the run of play the opp nicked one back, they did have some ball skills after all. But more committed hustling tight in the left corner from the le coq spotif resulted in a dispossession and another goal. half time and the scores are tied 2-2. Then the nannas really lifted their mental game and pulled two goals clear, a father flukey left from Le Coq and one off the knee ?! from big Jim Hannan, the Stupakneeâ„¢ if you will. it was at about this point that M3 ( that’s right people a ref called M3, the very ref who this author was restrained from laying an official complaint against) began his typical slide into farcical decision making. A penalty was awarded for some clumsy bundling in D by Jim. The sweaty portly stubbley angry man steps up to take it and of course giller, using the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, saves the goal with his feet, ah yes feel the pain you sweaty portly stubbley angry man !! ha ! but no ! the ref is claiming he hadn’t blown the whistle, you’ve got to be f**king serious. from there it’s downhill , the nannas have been dealt a serious injustice from which their fragile psyches can not recover. the opp run in another gaol almost straight away the nannas just standing around in disgust. that is freakin’ bullshit ref ! still stuck in the past moment the nannas see another and then a another in the back of their net. Tao rallies to pull one back back but it’s too late. Anally defiled by a melways ref. the ignominy. fvckit.

epilogue:
to further compound the lack of courtly behavior three nannas left the table at the chief before the other three had even finished eating, what is that all about ?
well, at least the gunners are through to the quarter finals of the Champions League…
oh, and there was some contention about the MOM voting, but given that the coach hadn’t posted his report on the site… (some cods wallop about server hacking)
anyway, Andy will probably be writing a report as well so the more the merrier.
it should also be mentioned that the glorious captain of nannas has been taken ill, we all wish him a speedy return to health & brown manly vitality
congratulations also to Pete & Nat on the birth of their little boy Cohen (sp?) – woohoo !
