A straightforward win for ^t who always looked the better side on the day. ^t travelled to ^v in vain. They got out the wrong side of bed today. ^t left ^v thoroughly defeated, wishing they had never come. ^t could not get it together right from the start. They got the thrashing they deserved. A great derby win for ^t over rivals ^t which left the ^h fans disappointed. ^t fans were delighted with the win over their local rivals. ^t will be very disappointed with their performance against local rivals ^t. A stunning derby victory by ^t who devastated local rivals ^t. A terrible display by ^t left them red faced, losing this local derby by a convincing ^n goals. ^t saw off their opponents with consummate ease in this important derby game. The rivalry between the fans wasn't enough to spur either team on to victory Both teams emerged from this difficult derby game with a single point. There was nothing to separate these local rivals who fought hard for 90 minutes. This was a promising derby game but both teams failed to deliver the final blow. A tense local derby with both teams playing tightly finished with no score. A disappointing game between old rivals in which both teams failed to finish any of their chances. ^t make it to the next round at the expense of ^t. ^t secured their place in the next round of the ^c. Victors ^t head on into the next round, leaving ^t to ponder what might have been. ^t obliterated ^t, on their way into the next round of the ^c. ^t appeared to lay on their backs and surrender to ^t. ^t put on a marvellous display, as if to show they are worthy of a place in the final. Two matches were not enough to separate the teams, forcing the result to be decided by the dreaded penalty shoot-out. It took ^t two games, extra time and a penalty shoot-out to claim their place in the next round of the ^c. Only a penalty shoot-out, following 120 minutes of close play separated ^t and ^t. ^t see their way into the next round, following an aggregate ^n-^n victory. ^t take their place in the next round following this match which gives them a ^n-^n aggregate victory. ^t bow out of the competition, after this game which saw ^t through to the next round with a ^n-^n aggregate win. ^t just make it into the next round on the away goal ruling. ^t narrowly earned a place in the next round of the ^c on away goals. With the aggregate scores level after full time, ^t just managed to scrape through on away goals. CUP GIANT KILLERS! A totally unexpected, shock result for ^t, who will now make their way to the ^x. SUPER GIANT KILLERS! It was shock cup glory for ^t that saw match favourites ^t dumped from the competition. Underdogs ^t claimed a momentous victory over the ^d team in yesterday's 'shock of the day'. With a place in the final at stake ^t upped their assault on the ^c, ending the dreams of ^t. ^t set their sights on glory after seeing themselves safely through this semi. ^t can start their preparations for the final following this great semi final win. ^t tore their opponents to shreds, and look like they won't stop until they lift the cup. ^t never looked worthy of the great cup run they've had this season, following a decisive display of attacking football. ^t could only be described as lacklustre as they were unceremoniously dumped out of the competition with a terrible semi-final display. ^t bow out of the competition as their cup run ended with a nerve wracking penalty shoot-out which handed ^t a place in the ^c final. ^t secured their ^c final slot following a tense penalty shoot-out competition. It took a penalty shoot-out for ^t to prove they had the edge and knock ^t out of the cup. ^t will now look forward to the ^c final, having beaten ^t ^n-^n on aggregate. ^t took a place in the ^c final, knocking ^t out of the competition ^n-^n on aggregate. ^t ended the dreams of ^t going through ^n-^n, on aggregate, to the ^c final. ^t just managed to ensure a place in the ^c final following this win on away goals. ^t narrowly make it to the final on away goals. The fine ^t ^c run ended by the slightest margin as ^t go through to the final on away goals. ^p scored the goals that gave them the edge. ^t were leading at the break, but gave it away in the second half. When the half time whistle blew ^t were in front, but they couldn't hold onto their lead for the full 90 minutes A lacklustre display in the second half meant that ^t wasted their efforts of the first half. ^t let their first half lead disappear with a poor performance in the second half. Some very hard challenges by ^t players lead to bookings for ^p, ^p and ^p. ^n bookings was the result of some very fierce tackling by ^t. ^p fought a little too hard resulting in a red card which left ^t to battle on with ten men. ^t were left to fight with 10 men after ^p was shown the red card for ^l ^p in the ^f minute. ^p was shown the red card after ^n minutes for ^l ^p. ^p and ^p were sent off which left ^t with only nine men to finish the game. ^t had their work cut out for them following the sending off of two players. With both ^p and ^p sent off, the remaining ^t players were badly stretched for the rest of the game. Tempers flared in a match which ended with 10 players on each side, as ^p and ^p received a red card each. Both teams showed great desire to win which lead to some vicious tackling and several fouls. The referee dealt quite severely with the harsh tackling throughout the match. The referee was blowing his whistle like a new toy throughout the game! ^t enjoyed more shots on goal than their opponents, but couldn't convert the chances into a win. ^t will be disappointed with their finishing in a match which gave them the greater number of chances. ^t failed to finish off the opposition, despite a greater number of scoring opportunities. ^t took full advantage of their opponents creating the greater number of chances, with shots on goal ending ^n:^n. A poor display of finishing by ^t barely gave keeper ^p anything to do. ^t had great difficulty trying to find the finishing touch, with some terrible shooting on offer. With nothing but missed chances ^t were left to ponder what might have been. With two quite contrasting styles of play on display at ^v, ^m proved to have the better tactics on the day. ^t tried to pass their way to victory, but the 'hoof it and hope' approach won the day. ^t constantly pumped the ball upfield and blasted away the passing game attempted by their opposition. A wonderful display of fine passing by ^t gave ^m a 90 minute lesson on where his coaching is lacking. ^t were left standing by the accurate passing of ^t. Their only answer was to constantly belt it up field. ^p walked away with the match ball at the final whistle following his heroic hatrick of goals. A wonderful hatrick scored by ^p sent his team on to the final victory. ^p turned up the gas with a super hatrick to give ^t a well earned victory. ^p will be bitterly disappointed that the three goals he scored was not enough to secure victory. A super hatrick by ^p just wasn't enough to rescue ^t from defeat. ^p hit the back of the net an amazing ^n times. ^m is sure to have the phone buzzing with transfer enquiries this morning. ^p was on top form scoring ^n times and defying ^p at almost every attempt. ^t bosses will be disappointed by the turnout that left the crowd at ^v looking very sparse. There was a much depleted crowd at ^v, as the fans stayed away again. The poor turnout at ^v will leave ^m wondering what he has to do to get receipts up. The match was watched by a capacity crowd at ^v, as fans that came without tickets were sent home. With the capacity of ^v at just ^n0 the stands were full and fans without tickets had to be turned away. ^m forced a ^f minute winner which was scored by the substitute ^p. Super-sub ^p scored a ^f minute winning goal after ^m brought him on for ^p. ^m swapped ^p for ^p which in the end decided the result when the substitute scored. The ^f minute change over of ^p for ^p, orchestrated by ^m, made absolutely no difference to the final result. ^p was brought of by ^m but things refused to get any better. Substitute ^p hit the back of the net but it wasn't enough to win. A good performance by sub ^p, who came on in the ^f minute for ^p and scored, was not enough to get ^t a win. ^t defended well to achieve their ^f clean sheet of the season. The ^f clean sheet of the season for ^t was the result of some sound defending. A great performance by the ^t defence secured the team's ^f clean sheet of the season. ^t were rarely looked troubled at the back, resulting in their ^f clean sheet this year. Keeper ^p guarded his goal with ferocity providing his team with its ^f clean sheet. A great result which will please ^m as his team showed the league leaders that it's not all over. League leaders ^t took a blow to their title hopes as ^m saw his team walk all over them. No surprise result here. The league leaders took another three point step towards the title. A shock defeat for ^t handed vital points to the bottom placed team. ^m will think again before using the same tactics, which gave the team at the bottom a much needed victory. A ^f minute penalty kick, scored by ^p, was all that divided the teams at the final whistle. ^p slammed the ball into the net when the ref blew for a ^f minute penalty which gave them their best chance of scoring. ^p didn't have a hope when ^p tucked a superb penalty kick into the back of the net. ^p gave ^p a great chance to score from the spot with a bad foul in the area, but the resulting goal was not enough to change the final result. ^p missed from the penalty spot in the ^f minute which didn't help his team's cause at all. ^p missed his team's best opportuntity to score, from the penalty spot, crowning a terrible day for his team. ^p didn't convert his chance to score from a ^f minute penalty, but it made no difference in the end. ^p will be relieved that missing a golden opportunity from the penalty spot didn't stop his team from winning. The goal scored by ^p was the deciding factor separating the two sides. Goals scored by ^p and ^p secured victory. Goalscorers ^p, ^p and ^p sealed the match for their team. ^p was delighted to have scored the winning goal. Afterwards he said "I'm delighted!". "I'm over the moon" said ^p describing his deeply considered feelings on scoring. ^p said he was "Chuffed!" to have scored the goal that clinched the game. "Watch his transfer value rocket!" commented Alan Agent cynically when asked about the winning goal by ^p. ^p used the match to claim his first goal for the club this season. ^p saw his goal tally for this season leap into double figures in this game. ^p ^x the ^d top scorer this season. The ^k goalkeeper, ^p, said afterwards "I didn't think it should've been a penalty, did you?". ^t keeper, ^p, said afterwards "That ref was dire. I bet he gave out less cards at christmas". The referee was sticking by his penalty decision after the match, saying "He got what he deserved". The referee refused to comment about the controversial penalty decision after the game. Afterwards the referee commented on the good spirit of both teams throughout the match. Afterwards the good old tea lady said "Who's for a nice cup of tea, then?" ^p couldn't put a foot right all day leaving ^y possibly thinking about the transfer list. ^p was on another planet all afternoon giving his team mates too much to do. The ref said afterwards."It was a pleasure to preside - I don't think I've ever seen so many goals in a single match". After the game a ^k fan moaned "They were crap. We should've slaughtered them". One disappointed fan said "No doubt about it. We was robbed.". Of course, no one listened. One fan said "They were toilet. We was robbed". One ^k fan said after the game "It makes me puke. We held out almost to the end, then ^p goes and nicks it". The ^k fans made their way home downhearted. "What a complete waste of money" seemed to be the consensus. Despite the result the crowd never stopped chanting "^t, ^t FC - are by far the greatest team - The world has ever seen!" So, what went wrong then? There's no doubt that we simply played badly I have to blame myself really. Tactically they were better than us Nothing went wrong. We just didn't have the luck they had No comment ^m commented after the game that he team's performance was clearly not up to scratch. ^m blamed the poor result on his team's lacklustre performance. After the match ^m slagged of his team for not trying hard enough. ^m blamed himself rather than pointing the finger at his playing staff. The ^k manager ^m put the defeat down to poor tactical decisions from the start. ^m was forced to admit that ^m tactically got the better of him. ^m was satisfied that his team had tried their best but just didn't have Lady Luck on their side on the day. Afterwards ^m said that his team had done well enough, but ^t just had the run of the luck. ^m said "We were very unlucky, weren't we? There's always next time". ^m seemed quite peeved after the match as he refused to comment on the result. ^m was unable to comment after the match. It was little wonder when ^m refused to speak to the press after the match. That was a bad result for you. You must be very disappointed? No question Wouldn't you be if you were me? We got the result that our performance on the field merited Mark my words - You won't see it happen again this season ^m said that it was a terribly disappointing result after the match. After the game it looked almost as if ^m was too disappointed to speak. The ^k manager, ^m, seemed very concerned that his team should have done better. Afterwards the ^k manager, ^m, muttered obscenities under his breath and walked away from a terrible match. ^m seemed to be in a state of shock after the game. ^m had no explanation for his teams below par display. It seemed a fair result to ^m as he commented on his team's poor show. ^m simply commented that his team got their just desserts. ^m summed up the poor performance he had witnessed - "We got nothing more than we deserved". ^m hinted at some possible staff changeovers to stop such a bad display in future. ^m said that he will be taking drastic action to make sure they don't make the same mistakes again. ^m could be on the verge of resignation reading between the lines of his post match comments That result leaves you nestling in the relegation zone. What are you going to do about it? There's no question we need new blood in the team to give us a boost I may rest one or two players for a while I don't need to 'do' anything. Nothing's wrong Absolutley no comment ^y tried to blame his team's plummet on a depleted squad. ^y is now on the look out for new players to get him out of desperate trouble. ^y thinks the only thing that can save them from relegation now is an injection of new blood into the squad. This dismal result is certain to bring about some staff changes amongst the ^k squad. ^y tried to justify his team's drop into the relegation zone by that his players are being overworked. Who's to blame? After the game ^y admitted that he needs to restructure the squad to get out of trouble now. Despite his precarious league position ^y can't see any problems and remains confident of a ^d place next season. ^y desperately needs to get wise to his oncoming plight and do something. Without new players ^t are on their way out. The ^k are heading for ^d football next season, as ^m refuses to acknowledge anything's wrong with the squad ^y was unavailable for comment after the match. He was probably writing his will as his team slip down the league. ^d football beckons ^t, unless ^y has something special up his sleeve. However, he was giving nothing away after the game. ^y left quickly after the game refusing to shed any light on his plans to escape relegation. So, it was a good result for you. Any comment? It was a difficult game but we came through it on top I think that the best side won on the day, don't you? It was definitely a game of two halves What can I say? The boys done me proud. Know what I mean, 'arry? ^m admitted it was a tough match to win but they did well to clinch it "It was a difficult game" said ^m as he walked away smiling. ^m said they were tough to crack, but knew that ^t always had the upper hand. ^m was in no doubt that the best team won on the day. Confidently ^m exclaimed that ^t were no match for his superior squad. "They were a bunch of balerinas" smiled ^m on his way from the dugout. ^m enlightened us after the game with his witty insight into the rules of football. ^m was delighted with his new grasp of the concept of a match being 45 minutes each way. ^m was in top form during the post match press conference. According to the manager a match consists of two halves. Fascinating stuff. ^m said "The boys done me proud" It was an emotional moment. "I'm very pleased with a smashing team effort" commented ^m eloquently. ^m, clearly proud of the team's performance, could barely restrain himself. That looked easy,^z! What happened? No one plays like donkeys and takes anything from us We showed them what it's all about! We scored more than them Don't ask me! ^m was clearly unimpressed with the opposition's rather mule like performance. ^m said it was a match that separated the men from the donkeys. "^t were absolute donkeys" said ^m afterwards in his usual polite fashion. ^m was delighted with the way his team rang rings around their opposition. The ^k manager was overjoyed with his team's show of strength, over an oppoosition team picked from 'donkeys'. ^m commented "^t aren't that bad, we just showed them we're better". ^m cunningly pointed out that the victory could be put down to scoring more goals than the opposition. ^m astutely commented on the number of goals scored by his team being the deciding factor in the game. ^t manager ^m analysed the match with eloquence - "We scored more than them". ^m appeared more than a little surprised with the result, finding it difficult to pinpoint why they did so well. ^m had to pinch himself before he left the dugout. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. Apparently somewhat dazed by the result, ^m was giving nothing away about his new formula for success. You must be encouraged with such a good result against the current league leaders,^z? Yeah, it was an important match - what a great result! We just concentrate on winning each match as it comes, no matter who it is I'm not bothered if they're top or if they're bottom - I just want to win Weren't much cop were they? They don't deserve to be up there The ^k manager ^m was delighted to take the points from the current leaders. Before the game ^t looked the underdogs which made ^m even happier with result. "It's a great feeling" said ^m commenting on the win over the current leaders. ^m didn't attach too much importance to the victory over the leaders, as he concentrates on the forthcoming fixtures. There's no doubt about the importance of this game to ^t, but manager ^m was restrained at the end as he answered questions about the teams prospects. Despite a famous victory over the leaders, ^m is keeping his head clear in preparation for the remaining fixtures. ^m put his team's victory down their great desire to overcome any challenger. ^t manager ^m said his tactics involve focussing on winning not who they are playing. This time at least it seems to have been just the ticket. ^m said "I'm not bothered if we're playing the royal family - I just want to put one over whoever it is". "They were an absolute load of cobblers!" commented ^m respectfully. ^m revealed he was having trouble understanding how their opposition ever made it to the top of the league. "Cobblers!" blurted ^m as he described the league leaders performance with great respect. So you've now got through your first game at the helm. How do you feel about the team's prospects? This club has been a sleeping giant for too long. I'm going to change that I want to carry on the great things that have been achieved here before and then go even further I can see that I've got my work cut out for me After that performance? I'm outta here!! After just one game in charge, manager ^y is confident that he can take ^t on to new glory. Assessing his team after his first game as manager ^y mumbled that they were asleep for a giant part of the match. "^t are sleeping giants waiting to be woken up", proclaimed ^y after his first game at the helm, "And I'm the one that's going to do it. Although he knows he is the new boy ^y firmly believes he can take ^t further than any of his predecessors. ^y knows that expectations of his reign at ^g are high but he is clearly a man with a mission who wants to succeed. "^t is a wonderful club. I'm looking forward to taking her further than anyone before me has been able to" said ^y confidently after his first game in charge. ^y didn't appear to be too confident about his chances of success this year after his first game in charge. ^y not at all satisfied with his team's first match clearly has a lot to do to get them up to scratch. ^y, not put off by his team's first performance, was in no doubt about how much he is going to need to work on the squad. In a shock announcement after his first game in charge ^y told how is likely to leave ^t. The question is - will anyone notice? With ^y screaming "I'm outta here!" after the game, there is a suspicion that he may be handing in his resignation soon. After just a single game in charge, there are strong rumours that ^y is considering resignation. Half the season has gone and you're bottom of the league. What are you going to do? We're not BOTTOM are we? Yikes! We'll be ok, as long as the team keep giving their best I'm not concerned at this stage. There's a long way to go and anything could happen Not much. We're finished. ^y tried to distract attention from his team's league position after the game with some rash comments. ^y appears to have totally lost it. ^t haven't got a hope with him in charge. It's the end of the line for ^y. I'd advise The chairman to start interviewing in the morning. Commenting on the team's worrying league position, ^y was quietly confident that ^t will manage to avoid relegation. ^y thinks that hard work is the key to getting his team out of the mire at the bottom of the table. Although ^y appears unconcerned with the prospect of relegation we suspect he needs to do something drastic to stop the rot. When asked about relegation, ^y said "Anything could happen yet". The only thing that is certain is that he needs a few good wins to get out of trouble. "There's half a season to go" said ^y as he contemplated his current league standing. It's clear he needs a significant change in form to rescue any hope of survival. ^y remains cool as each week brings ^t nearer and nearer their fated relegation. ^y has given up the ghost and suspects that the season is unsalvageable for the club. A weary ^y commented that he has all but given up hope of keeping the club up this year. ^y publicly declared that he fully expects to be relegated at the end of the season. It was a statement likely to persuade the ^k chairman to look for a new manager at ^g. That puts paid to your ^c hopes this year, what now? Obviously it's a significant blow. It doesn't leave us with much to go for now. Don't ask stupid questions. We can concentrate on the league now. Its a shame, but we've still got a lot to do before the season's up. Yeah, and it also puts paid to the cash we would have got from the next round! ^y walked away from ^g knowing that this game was his last hope of any sign of glory this year. The remainder of the season will be tough for ^t according to manager ^y as his team have nothing to look forward to. "It's all over, isn't it?" commented ^y about the end of his cup run with more than hint that he may also have been commenting on his job with the club. Naturally, with the cup out of the way now, ^y says he will turn his attention to the league. What else can he do? Although naturally disappointed ^t can at least now focus on improving their league standing, according to ^y. "We've got it all to do in the league" snapped ^y clearly irritated by his team's performance. ^y, barely concerned about their cup exit, believes his team still has plenty to go for. ^y walked away as if nothing of any significance had just taken place before him presumably believing his team have better things in store. ^y took the result in his stride as if it were some sort of friendly. The ^k chairman may have a thing or two to say to him following his dismissive reaction. ^y had little to say about the game as he concentrated on the cash ^t could have received from a possible lucrative tie in the next round. The result is a cruel blow to the ^k management who were clearly hopeful of a cash injection from a big tie in the next round. In his post match comments ^y had nothing to say about the game as he went on and on about the cash the club could have used from getting through. That's was another good win, making it ^n in a row. How long can you make it last? Now you've said that we'll probably lose the next one! I don't know. All I do is look at each game as it comes As long as we stay on our game we should be able to keep it up How long is a piece of string? Nothing can stop us now! A rather superstitious ^y seems to think that his team's latest good run has more to do with luck than judgement. There's no doubt that they have had a great run, but ^y is not confident that the ^k can keep it up much longer. ^y, in pessimistic mood, commented that the club's good run would have to end sometime - probably with the next game. Commenting on his team's good spell of form ^y said "We just take it a game at a time and give it our best shot. (get it?)". ^y wisely remarked "We take each game as it comes" in time honoured tradition, when quizzed about his teams current form. "We are an invincible force in football" ^y said. (Allegedly). ^y is of course hoping that he can keep his team playing like this for as long as possible. "As long as we stay on our game", said ^y, "we should be able to sustain our run of wins". Delighted with their ^f win on the trot, ^y said that he expects to be able to keep the good form going. ^y, in defiant mood after the game, is starting to think that he has found the perfect formula. ^y is winning matches like it's going out of fashion, but losing friends at the same rate with his obnoxious post match rhetoric. ^y was in no doubt about his ability after the game. We are in no doubt that he needs pulling down a peg or two. Roll on their next game - and good luck to their opponents! That's ^n games on the trot without a goal. What are you going to do? Keep my fingers crossed in the next game! Just give it time. They'll come good Go out and buy a goalscorer, obviously You'll just have to wait and see ^y attributed their ^n game goalless run simply to bad luck. "I'm keeping my fingers crossed" he said nervously. ^n games have now passed without so much as a goal for ^y. The only tactic he can think of now is to cross his fingers and hope for the best. ^n games on the trot without a goal is starting to take its toll on ^y. He's now sunk to the depths of keeping his fingers crossed in a vain attempt to change his luck. ^y remains confident that his team will soon find the scoring touch. It seems patently clear to us that ^y needs to look outside his current squad for someone to put an end to the goal drought, but he just can't see it. ^y says he is keeping faith with his existing squad despite their ^f game without a goal. After the game ^y revealed he has plans to buy a player to put an end to their goalless spell. Time will tell if it makes any difference. ^y hinted at the possibility of looking for a new striker following their ^f game without a goal. ^g awaits a new striker as ^y revealed that he believes the current ^t squad may never get out of the rut they're in. ^y was keeping his cards close to his chest after yet another goalless game. It is strongly suspected he's looking for new striking options. ^y was giving nothing away about his plans to stem the ^k goal drought. ^y refused to talk about his plans to get the ^k scoring again. His only option seems to be transfer market. What's your verdict on ^p, your new addition? He was crap! I'm gonna get rid of him Could have been better. He just needs time to settle in He made a good start Superb. He made a dream start The new boy ^p had an awful game, which left ^y reaching for the transfer list again. ^p is looking like a complete waste of money, admitted ^y coyly, after the game. "I'll have to get rid of ^p. I think I made a terrible mistake" admitted ^y commenting on his latest acquisition. ^p had a fairly quiet game which must have left ^y wondering if he has got what it takes to succeed at the club. ^p failed to win the hearts of the ^k fans, although ^y urged them to give him time to settle in. Unhappy ^t fans taunted ^p with shouts of "What a waste of money" as left the field. ^y said "Just wait and see, he'll come good soon". ^y was satisfied that new signing ^p had a reasonable first game. ^y commented that new acquisition, ^p, had a good first game and could be just what he's been looking for. A sound first game performance by new signing ^p received quiet appreciation from his manager. ^y described the first game by new boy ^p, as "a dream start". Things are looking up according to ^y who has high hopes for new signing, ^p, after he put in a great first performance. ^y said that new signing, ^p, was dreaming right from the start. There's unrest amongst your fans at the moment. What would you like to say to them? Nothing much Give us some support, and stop complaining Give us a chance - it'll get better All I can do is give it my best shot. That's fair enough isn't it? Calls for ^y to resign are likely to be the result of discontent at ^g, as he refuses to comment the situation. Disgruntled ^k supporters received no encouragement from ^y yesterday as he refused to comment on their feelings. There is a nasty undercurrent of bad feeling among ^t fans, which ^y chooses to ignore. ^y has no sympathy with disappointed ^k fans - "stop complaining" was his only suggestion. There was only one suggestion aimed at disgruntled ^k fans by ^y - "stop complaining". "They call themselves supporters?" said ^y as he dismissed the angry fans calling for his resignation. ^y asked ^k fans to give him a chance as he plans to change the club's fortunes. ^y suggested that the angry fans should "give me one more chance" as he desperately searched for the answer to his current problems. It seems ^y may have seen his last game at ^g, as disgruntled fans called for his head. ^y has a clear conscience that he is doing his utmost for ^t, as restless supporters begin to question his ability. "I'm giving it my best shot" proclaimed ^y to restless ^k fans after the game. It was little consolation as they left the ground disappointed. Manager ^y had nothing to offer angry ^k fans looking for changes at the club to turn things around. Well ^z, you took the ^k to the ^x of the ^c, but couldn't quite pull it off? Shut yer face, we were great We did well to get that far, but they beat us on the day Pull what off exactly? I'm pleased we made it this far. There's always next year "It was a splendid effort, but we didn't quite pull it off" said ^y. "The lads did everything they could" said ^y of his team's effort after the game. ^y felt great pride about his team's effort, but handed it to ^t for taking the initiative. "^t were better than on us on the day", said ^y as he was left with only dreams of making it to the final. ^y took nothing away from ^t who he said just had the vital edge on the day. ^y went into the game believing the ^k could win, but came away knowing they didn't have the character needed to get to the final. ^y couldn't pull it off. He didn't know what to pull. You got what you deserv, ^z. "Pulling it off" was a hard concept for ^y to grasp as he slipped into a managerial coma following his team's defeat. No wonder "Tell me what strings to pull and pull them next time, if you think you know better" snapped ^y as his team dropped out the competition. ^y left with nothing, except time to plan for next year's attempt. Better luck next time, ^z. ^y was philosophical about the result. As ever, there's always next season. Slightly deflated perhaps, but not put off, ^y will pick himself up and start to think of how he get that little bit further next time. It was a great day in the history of ^t as they claimed the ^c with pride yesterday.
The hard fought, but well deserved victory came at the end of a difficult and sometimes treacherous road to the final.
A fine achievement for ^m and his men followed a performance worthy of champions. Watching the ^v grass grow proved more entertaining than the football at times. The mexican wave lapped the stadium endlessly as the players knocked the ball up and down the pitch blissfully unaware that interest in the game was waning with each passing minute. Insomniacs everywhere should head for the next meeting of these teams - you'll be cured in minutes. The stands started to empty way before the final whistle approached. ^v was the wrong place to be if you were looking for goals yesterday. News of a major signing by ^t manager ^y gave the transfer market a boost this week. ^y made his mark on the transfer market with a big signing this week. The ^t manager ^y has dipped into the transfer market again this week. It is understood that ^s broke the club's record signing fee to bring in ^p from ^t. ^s has finalised what he believes to be a great deal with ^t which sees ^p move to ^g. It is thought that ^s had to pay ^t something in the region of ^$ to secure the services of ^p. All eyes will be on ^p in his first match against ^t on ^x. ^p has taken his goal tally to ^n goals for ^t so far this season. ^s is hoping he'll do even better for ^t. Time will reveal if his move to the ^k is going to provide what ^s is looking for. ^t released ^a ^p who moves to ^t this week in a ^$ deal orchestrated by ^y. ^y secured a record fee for ^p this week as he leaves ^t in a deal thought to be worth around ^$. ^y finalised a ^$ deal this week in which ^p leaves for new pastures at ^t. ^s announced the move and reassured fans that he is confident it won't alter his ambition for the club. ^s is expected to replace ^p almost immediately to maintain the current strength of the squad. ^p will leave a gaping hole in the squad unless ^s manages to replace him with a player of equal stature. It is unlikely that ^p will be missed as he has started in less than half their matches this season. ^p hadn't started a single first team game this year. We asked one fan what he thought about the move and all he could manage was "Who?". The move will either be the smartest thing ^s has done this season, or it could be a disaster in the making. ^t will need a good result against ^t to prove to themselves that they can survive without the services of ^p. ^k fans will be looking for a replacement to maintain their hopes this season. We, however, suspect ^y has different plans. In what looked like a desperate move by ^t manager ^y ^a, ^p, was sold to ^t yesterday.
A club insider said that the fee was heavily reduced to facilitate the sale.
The deal has sparked rumours of financial trouble at ^g. ^y has apparently disposed of the services of ^p to ^t at a massive discount this week.
The quick sale of ^p has triggered further rumours of possible financial problems at ^g. Club's Car Park Calamity! ^g ground to a halt this weekend as the car parks burst at the seams.
Demand for spaces during games is currently to high for the current facilities to cope.
Our advice is catch the bus, catch the train, even catch a cold, but don't drive. Malaise amongst the ^k shock! ^t can't find the tonic to lift out the bottom of ^e, and it is no wonder.
We spoke to one player, who wished to remain anonymous, who said "We're all sick of being at ^t, for one reason or another".
Manager ^y appears to be too fed up to do anything about the problem. ^t lose their touch! ^y is in trouble. The game against ^t was the ^f in which his team has failed to hit the back of the net. A fan said after the game "It's not funny, we can't score anymore!" ^p, the ^t front man dismissed the problem "Oh well, I'll try again next week" "Do I not like that?" asked ^s after chatting to Graham Taylor. ^t quick on the draw! ^t made their bid to become the ^d draw specialists this season yesterday.
The match saw them to their ^f draw this year when the game finished ^n-^n. ^t hit winning streak ^y currently has the midas touch.
His team's victory over ^t is the latest in a string of ^n wins that he hopes to see continue to the end of the season. With 10 games played this season, ^t manager ^y has left himself with a mountain to climb. Just ^n wins from 10 games has left his team hanging dangerously around the bottom of the table. Without a single victory from the first ten games his team finds itself at the foot of the table. There is of course plenty of time for ^s to make amends. The question is 'can he do it'? With 10 of this season's league games out of the way, ^t are beginning to settle in the danger zone.
^e is starting to beckon ^y unless he can find something to pull his team out of trouble. A rather poor start to the season leaves ^t hanging in the lower reaches of the ^d table.
Just ^n wins from the first 10 games leaves ^y with a great deal to do if he's to achieve any honours this season. ^y, the top man at ^t will be in no doubt about what he could achieve this season if he keeps his head.
With 10 games played, promotion is a firm possibility if they manage to maintain their league position.
^n points separate his team, in a play off place, from the current leaders. ^y, the ^k boss, will be happy that his team have got the season off to a good start.
Promotion is a distinct possibility if they manage hold or improve on their current standing.
Comfortably maintaining a promotion place, they find themselves just ^n points off the top of the table. With roughly a quarter of the season gone in the chase for the ^d title, ^y will be delighted his team have come out on top.
^n wins from 10 games have secured ^s the points needed to take ^t to the number one slot.
When asked to comment one fan chanted "We are top o'the league, say we are top o'the league!" ^t in Danger! Half this season's games are now out of the way and ^t are bottom of the class.
Manager ^y is in desperate need of something to alter his fortunes.
Significant change is required at ^g or ^d football will arrive. ^t in the drop zone! ^t manager ^y will uneasily have to reflect on his teams poor show in the first half of the season.
With ^n points between them and ^t who are just outside the drop zone
^s will have to push his squad to the limit to be sure of ^d football next year. ^t stuck in mid table mud! With half the season in the bag, ^y has only taken ^t as far as ^f place.
Officials at the club had hoped that ^s would be in a significantly better position at this stage.
Dealings in the transfer market are probably the only thing that can solve the problem. ^t in Play Off hope! With half the season gone ^t have given themselves a good chance of promotion.
With the team holding ^f place, manager ^y will accept nothing less than a play off place this year. ^t could go up! Halfway through the season, ^t are looking likely candidates for automatic promotion.
Currently in ^f place, ^y has his sights sets on jumping up the league at the end of the season. ^t in title hope! ^t are sitting pretty at the top of the ^d table half way through the season.
^t, challenging in second place, are ^n points behind and pushing hard to catch the leaders. It could be over! ^y is under great pressure to reverse his team's bad fortunes. Without swift action in the closing games of the season he is certain to end up relegated.
A regular chant has developed in the opposition crowd at their games, "Going down, going down, going down..." ^t in Relegation Rut! Nerves are starting to show at ^g. ^k manager ^y has very little time to get his team out of trouble.
With survival in the league his top priority it is widely expected that
^s is looking elsewhere for the right players to rescue a terrible season. Relegation a Reality! ^y has just about a quarter of the season to rescue his team, and possibly his job.
^t, sitting ^f in the table, are not certain to avoid the drop yet.
The last few games of the season could make or break the manager who has yet to prove he can cope at this level. ^t are in the chase for a ^d place!
^t are pinning their hopes on the closing games of the season to see them through to promotion.
In ^f position the ^k have done a good job to get themselves into the thick of the promotion scramble. ^t look set for ^d football!
^t are firm favourites for automatic promotion at the end of the season.
The ^f placed ^k are well on their way to securing the prize they have been chasing for three quarters of the season. The ^k title bid hots up!
With just a quarter of the season remaining, ^t have made their intention of taking the ^d clear.
However, current runners up ^t, ^n points behind, will not give up the chase until it's over.
All eyes will be on the closing fixtures to settle who really is the Premier Manager. ^s finished! The ^k are in a desperate position with just three games to do something about it.
^y will be hailed a miracle worker if he saves his team. If he doesn't do it, it will be his job he is trying to save. Come on, ^s! ^y should be working on his plan to save ^t from ^e football next year.
^t fans have been urging ^s to come up with the results that could get them out of trouble.
It is looking unlikely however, as ^s has seen his team win just ^n games this season. ^t are heading for a mid table finish.
It's doubtful that ^y has got anything up his sleeve to get them out of the lower reaches of the table. ^t are still in danger with ^n points if ^t put together a good run.
^s will no doubt be keeping one eye on their results as the season draws to a close. ^t have guaranteed themselves ^d football next season, as ^t drop out of the chase to catch them. Come on you ^k! ^t fans will be urging their team to victory in the last few games of the season.
Currently in ^f position they have every chance of making ^e next year if they put a good run together.
^y will be looking for maximum points from his last three games. Come on you ^k! ^t fans are looking for something special from their heroes in the last few matches of the season.
The team, currently ^f placed are firm favourites to reach ^e this year.
^y will be doing his utmost to walk away from his last three games with maximum points. ^k under pressure! The race for glory is getting tighter all the time.
^t can feel ^t breathing down their necks as they have three games to close the ^n point gap.
It's all a question of who has the strongest desire to win as a long season draws to a dramatic close. ^p ready for comeback ^t ^a, ^p, says he is ready to make a return from the sidelines.
The ^? that he picked up ^n weeks ago is now just a memory as he prepares to take fitness test before the next match. ^p said "I'm looking forward to getting stuck in again, I can't stand watching". ^p said "It's great to be back in contention. I want my place in the team back now". ^p sidelined for ^n weeks ^p is unlikely to play for the ^k for at least ^n weeks, after the accident at ^v yesterday.
He picked up a ^? in the game against ^t, when ^p took him on awkwardly. ^p replaced ^p and the ^k went on to win the game ^n-^n. ^p came on for ^p but the ^k went on to lose the match ^n-^n without the injured man. ^y Serves Victory On Plate!! The ^k manager ^y made one of the worst mistakes of his career yesterday.
He did not realise that he didn't have a full squad to play ^t until it was too late.
A 9-0 result was given against ^s who had better pull his finger out before their next match. Ban for ^p The ^k ^a has been called up before an FA enquiry following the ^x in the ^t game.
^p faces a ban, which will see him sidelined for ^n weeks.
It was a misdemeanour that could lead to some difficulty for ^t. Bung Drama! Whispers are going around the football community that ^y is the man to see if you fancy a backhander.
^s is expected to refute the accusation that he has offered 'bungs' to managers in an attempt to secure the services of players.
We will bring you any further news as it breaks. "^y tried to bung me! Allegedly!" A small group of ^d managers openly has discussed their accusation that the ^t manager has attempted to win them over with bribery.
Allegedly ^s has offered substantial back hand 'bungs' in an attempt to guarantee the transfer of players to his squad.
^s is expected to deny the allegations, although an FA enquiry will almost certainly be set up to look into the matter. Match Fixing Allegations! Details of alleged match fixing deals by ^d managers, have been revelead to us on a day that is
likely to rock the football community. The stiffest penalties await those that are caught.
We will reveal all in a special investigation expose soon. "He offered me ^$ to let them win" says ^m ^m has provided us with explicit details of an illegal offer he received to throw a match for cash.
The manager in question is likely to be on the wrong end of immediate action by the FA and possibly the police when they find out.
"No!" said a bright ^k fan when we gave him the news. I Bet We Lose! Disbelief was the reaction of most in the football community as they discovered the news yesterday that a certain ^d manager is suspected of placing illegal bets on his team's games.
There is even strong suspicion that the man in question has bet on his own team to lose. Betting Plot Thickens! A ^d manager has been caught red handed betting on his own team to lose.
It is thought some sort of syndicate may be involved and it isn't the for the National Lottery!
There's no doubt that the manager in question is likely to face the strongest discipliary action. ^t violence! ^g was the scene for some terrible crowd trouble yesterday, which attracted ^t an immediate ^$ fine from the FA.
Opponents ^t were the visitors as trouble broke out following overcrowding in the stands.
^t bosses are expected to take swift action to stop a recurrence of the scenes. ^t scene of further trouble! Yet more scenes of violence and disruption were on show as ^t took on the home team.
The FA slapped a ^$ fine on the ^k, with the promise of stiffer action if they don't take steps to prevent the problem recurring. ^g hosts even more fighting! The almost regular sight of violent crowd outbreaks were on show again as ^t hosted ^t.
^y received his stiffest penalty yet from the FA in the form of a fine of ^$. Fans Disgusted! Many ^t fans can no longer afford to get into ^g watch their heroes play.
We wanted to ask ^y why the prices had gone up, but couldn't afford to get in.
One fan said "I'm disgusting". Ticket price inquest ^t have attracted the attention of the FA with recent hikes in the price of entry tickets.
One club insider told us that ^y was attempting to avoid financial problems with increase income.
However, the move is likely to backfire as fans stay away in protest at the move. Fans Abused ^t manager, ^y, is going to have great difficulty defending massive club merchandise price hikes at ^g.
One fan said "I might as well have my wages paid straight to the club"
Another exclaimed "This is abuse!". Souvenir Shop Shock! ^y is 'having a larf at our expense' according to ^t fans on the subject of prices in the club shop. Coach Cries Off ^t ex-coach, Mr ^b, has revealed how badly ^y treated him during his spell with the club.
In an exclusive interview he told us "I was underpaid, overworked and treated with contempt by the Manager - who sacked me!"
Mr ^b mentioned that he will warn his friends in the profession about ^s. Resentful Coach Sacked By ^y Former ^t coach, Mr ^b, has revealed the terrible trouble at ^g following his dismissal.
The coach told of harsh working conditions and bad pay, and not least what he thinks of his former employer. Dear Sportsbag,
^y deserves a big pat on the back for his recent achievements at ^t. We're on top form and have got every chance of going for the title.
Yours

I want to have his babies.

Can I congratulate ^t on a brilliant cup run.
I just hope we can go on to win it and claim our place in Europe.

Long Time Fan Dear Sportsbag,

Disappointed Fan Dear Sportsbag,
^s should go - there's no doubt about it.
Relegation is unforgiveable.
Bitter Fan Dear Sportsbag,
^y needs to take responsibility and push off!
I'm the laughing stock of all my friends.
Ridiculed fan ^k on their way to ^e ^t didn't survive in ^e the last time they were here. Hopes are high at ^g. Superteam ^t, now in ^e lead by ^y will hope to consolidate there recent promotions of successive seasons. Questions will be asked of ^t as they start their first season in ^e after several years in ^e. ^t will be looking for a good start in their first season away from ^e Can the ^k make it in ^e this year? Time will test the resolve of ^y who's got a difficult task following last year's triumph. ^y will want to make his mark. Condemnation! Part of the ^t stadium is set to be shut down in a recent move by the FA.
The action follows an investigation into safety at ^g. ^y is expected to make a statement soon. Broke! A shock decision by their bank has forced ^t to close its gates to the public once and for all.
It is understood that the club had no plans to repay its massive debts, principally run up by the club manager.
^y is under investigation for financial irregularities and looks likely to face criminal charges. ^s Thrown Out! ^y was picking up the pieces of a shattered career this morning.
We brought you the news first of his dispicable attempts to make money by betting against his own club.
"Shame he got caught" Said the owner of the local betting shop. ^s Caught Red Handed! ^y found himself unemployed after he was caught in a trap by another ^d manager helping police investigate match rigging allegations.
His career met a premature end as he tried to offer use cash to fix the result.
^s seemed unrepentent as police took him away from the ground. Bung off, ^s! ^y made an early exit from ^d this week.
As rumours of his attempts to use back hand payments became more widespread the FA had no choice but to open an independent inquiry.
^s was charged and found guilty with bringing the game into disrepute. A move that lost him his job and put a significant hold on his career. ^s says goodbye to the ^k! ^t said goodbye to manager ^y yesterday who, faced with the laughable problem of not having a team to play, felt he had no other option other than resignation. ^s would have like to say goodbye to the team, but there isn't anyone left. When asked to comment a fan said "I thought we were lacking a few players, but I didn't like to say anything." When asked to comment a fan said "He couldn't pick his nose, let alone a team!" ^s Hits The Sack! ^t manager ^y was relieved of his duties by the club chairman yesterday.
The Chairman expressed extreme disatisfaction with the manager's antics at ^g saying that he had warned ^s long ago that he needed to sort things out. Goodbye, ^z! ^y is no longer in charge at ^t following his dismissal yesterday.
^s, was shocked to learn that a board vote of confidence less than 24 hours old was worthless as his chairman asked him to leave ^g in the light of his recent poor performance. ^s forced out! ^t said goodbye to manager ^y as his career took a step in the wrong direction yesterday.
Without so much as sniff at a new offer, the manager's contract expired leaving him out in the cold.
^s looks set to try his hand at another club. Good morning, Mr ^s, what can I do for you? Hello, Mr ^s, how can I help you? The Club's finances could be a little healthier, Mr ^s. The Club's financial position is causing me some concern. I cannot allow any further borrowing, please rectify the situation. What can I do for you today, Mr ^s? You have nothing to worry about! I am a little concerned with your mounting debts, Mr ^s. I am rather concerned with your current financial position. The Club is in a poor financial position. I cannot allow any further borrowing ^z,
Isn't it about time we looked at expanding the stadium?I reckon we won't have enough space soon.
The Assistant Manager ^z,
Shouldn't we start to make some plans for increasing capacity soon?
The Assistant Manager ^z,
I'd say we could flog a load more stuff if only we could keep the queues down.
The Assistant Manager ^z,
Don't you think we could sell a load more of that rip-off gear if we had more shops?
The Assistant Manager ^z,
Have you thought about building a new ^x? 'Fill their bellies and addle their brains' my old Dad used to say.
The Assistant Manager ^z,
Did you notice the queues for grub at half time yesterday?
The Assistant ^z,
What sort of team are you trying to field?
I'm not happy with your selection at the moment.
If we don't get a result this week I'll want to know why.
The Chairman ^z,
I'm getting worried about your judgement!
I pay you to get results, not make crazy team selections.
The Chairman ^z,
^r have been whinging about our bloody results again.
Sort it out, I don't need the hassle.
The Chairman ^z,
^r are getting awkward about our current form.
I don't care what you have to do, but get them off my case!
The Chairman Bill here, Guvnor.
Nice one, Cyril!
You got ^$ from that result. 'ello, it's Bill.
You're on a winning streak, my son. ^$ is coming your way. ullo, guv, it's Bill.
You've got it sussed, haven't ya! You won ^$ in that one.
You're not gonna stop now are ya? Alright, guvnor. Bill speaking.
You wanna be careful doing that! Still ^$ for losing can't be all that bad. It's Bill, Guv.
There's something that don't quite stack up here.
^$ for losing? You're on to winner, my son! Guv, it's me.
Watch they don't rumble you.
You got ^$ for losing. Well done, my son! 'ello guv, Bill 'ere.
What 'appened? That was a waste of lolly, weren't it?
'Ave another pop! Hello guv, Bill speaking.

May I bring our high interest Deposit Account to your attention. I think you will find it gives a healthy return on your spare cash.
The Bank Manager Mr ^s,
I would like to draw your attention to the option of earning a better return on your spare cash - Your high interest Deposit Account is available for immediate use.
Your Bank Manager ^z,
It's about time you started taking your wider responsibilities more seriously. Sort out the advertising situation - we're losing money.
The Chairman I'm looking for a really impressive start to the season from you, ^z. Let's make sure we don't fall at the first hurdle, ^z. I want to see us up with leaders this year. Put success in the ^c high on your agenda this year - A good cup run can do wonders for cash flow. Ah ^z, I've been meaning to speak to you - let's make this year something special. Ah, ^z. Good morning. Morning, ^z, everything ok? Something to report, ^z? Come in, ^z. I trust everything is in order. I want nothing less than promotion this year. Make sure you go out and get it. I'm looking to you to make sure we go up this season, ^z. Don't let me down. I don't care what it takes, just make sure we get promotion this year - alright? I'm expecting a much better performance from you this year. I want promotion. If you don't start to improve on last years dismal showing you can start to look for another job. Last season was a disappointment. We had better get promotion this year. I'm looking for a top six place, minimum, this year. Make sure we get up with the leaders this year. I want to see you making sure we fulfil our potential this year. ^z, our form's bloody awful. Get out there and turn it round! Our form's terrible, ^z. What the hell do you do in training day in, day out? We need to get better results, ^z. Our form has taken a bad dive recently. I'm glad to see that we've been getting some good results recently. It's good to see our results are reflecting our ability at the moment. You're doing a good job getting the results, ^z - well done. Whatever it takes, ^z, make sure we get the title - ok? ^z, don't slip up now. Just make sure we get our hands on the title. I want that title trophy in our cabinet at the end of the season, ^z. Do something to get us away from the danger zone. We can't afford to risk staying there. Sort it out, ^z, we shouldn't be anywhere near the bottom of the table. The last thing I want to see is us sliding into the relegation zone, so get on with your job. What the hell do you think we are doing in the relegation zone? Get the players in for extra training, ^z. We don't pay them a fortune just to end up relegated. Stop messing around and get us out the flaming relegation zone!! Have you seen the latest attendance figures, ^z? They're excellent - well done. By the way, attendances are up on the whole, so well done. If the attendance averages stay up we may have to start thinking about new capacity. Do what you can to get a result in the cup, ^z. I'm depending on you Just make sure we stay in the ^c. I don't want us going out at this stage. I'm expecting a result in this cup match. The income from the next round is important. I have to say that you've let us down really. We needed to stay in the cup. So much for our ^c hopes then. I hope you're going to make up for it. Well that's all our cup hopes out the window then, isn't it? That was a fantastic result! Well done! Cup Victors - I'm delighted! You did a grand job in the final. We are the Champions!! We'll have to make a space in the trophy cabinet! Well done! I trust you have plans to get us further up the league? Don't you think I'm going to settle for a mid table place, ^z. Pull your finger out. Make sure you get the results to see us into the title chase. We can't afford to finish mid table. There's cash in the bank that could be put to use strengthening the squad. I can't help but feel that we need to strengthen the squad, especially as we have some cash available. I'd like to use some of our spare cash on a player. See what you can come up with. What's the point of hanging on to players you never use? It's a waste of club money. It's high time you did something about selling off the players you don't use. We're paying for too many players that you never use. Get rid of them. I'm not going to say anything, except you better watch your step or you'll be out. You've let us all down, ^z. We're finished. Relegated! Bloody Relegated! How could you let it happen? ^z, I've got to hand it to you, you've done exceedingly well this year. Superb, ^z! Onwards and upwards! Well, it's full steam ahead for next season now! Well done!! It's all over, ^z - we can't get up now. Well, all our hopes of promotion are dashed now. You could have done a lot better this year, ^z. We should have been able to get promotion. So we've made it to the final at last. Get out there and kick them off the field! It's all down to you now ^z. I want that cup! I want to see our captain holding that cup at the final whistle, ^z. Hello again. Did you forget something? Yes? What now? ^z,
I need a word with you - I've got a sponsor lined up and I want your opinion.
The Chairman ^z,
Can you come and have a quick word about a sponsorship deal I'm thinking about.
The Chairman ^z,
What happened to you? I had nearly clinched a deal with ^r, and now they're not interested because you didn't show your face.
When I ask to see you it means that day, not when YOU feel like it.
The Chairman ^z,
I've lost the deal with ^r, thanks to your laziness!!
If you do that again you can start to look for a new job.
The Chairman ^z,
Please come to my office as I want a quick word about the club sponsorship.
The Chairman ^y,
I want a word about sponsorship, in my office.
The Chairman ^s,
Come to my office as soon as you get this note.
The Chairman We've gone far too long without a club sponsor. It's time we did something about it. Just make absolutely sure we get the kind of results that are going to keep bringing the offers in. I hope you don't think I relish going on so long without any sponsorship income. I'm losing patience. We've been sponsorless too long. Accept the next offer. ^z,
I need a chat about the latest attendance figures.
The Chairman ^y,
Please come to my office to discuss our recent attendance figures.
The Chairman ^s,
Come and see me as soon as you get this message.
The Chairman We've got room for ^n0 spectators and we can't even get half that many.
Sort something out to fill more seats or I'm going to have to sort it myself. Tell me, what's the point of us having ^n0 capacity if we don't manage to bring in half that number? Come on, it's high time we did something to get attendance figures up. See what you can do. ^z,
I want you to hold back on spending large amounts of cash. Things are too tight at the moment. ^z,
We need to preserve our income for a while, so cut back on the big spending, ok? ^z,
I don't want to hear any more requests to sign big cheques until you start to improve our standing. ^z,
Don't bother coming in here asking for cash. I'm not going to give you anything until things start improving. If you're planning to start spending more money you can forget about it until our prospects improve. If you're in here to ask about spending money - forget it! I want a successful club, not a massive overdraft. ^z,
We need to talk about facilities. Come and have a word with me, please.
The Chairman ^y,
Come to my office when you get this note please.
The Chairman ^s,
Either come and see me now or don't bother coming to see me again.
The Chairman ^z, I have been on the wrong end of a number of complaints about our facilities recently. What would you suggest? I want you to think about bringing our ground facilities up to scratch, ^z. I keep overhearing comments that our facilities are somewhat lacking. I want you to sort it out. Mr ^s,
I wonder if you would be kind enough to make an appointment to visit me.
I would like to discuss the club's financial position.
The Bank Manager Mr ^s,
I must ask that you contact me as soon as possible.
We need to discuss the club's financial position.
The Bank Manager Mr ^s,
I must insist that you visit me to discuss the club's worsening debts.
I regret that your failure to establish contact may result in further action.
Your Bank Manager Mr ^s,
It is with regret that I must advise you the Bank cannot allow your debts to increase any further.
I shall be grateful if you would make arrangements to rectify the situation with immediate effect.
Your Bank Manager Mr ^s,
I regret that the ^t debts appear to be getting out of hand.
I must insist that you rectify the situation within ^n weeks. Failure to do so will result in a winding up petition being filed against the club in the courts.
Your Patient Manager Mr ^s,
It is with deep regret that I must insist ^t repay all outstanding debts within ^n weeks.
Failure to comply will result in the Bank taking the strongest action possible against the club in the courts.
Your Sympathetic Manager To: ^y
From: FA Chief Exec
The latest FA inspection of ^g revealed that parts of the stadium appear to be falling into disrepair.
We strongly advise that you take steps to correct the situation to avoid the need for further action. To: ^y
From: FA Chief Exec
Despite our previous warning a further stadium inspection at ^g showed virtually no improvement to the deteriorating stand.
Failure to pay ^$ to repair the offending structure will leave us with no option but to close it down. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
We've got 5 weeks until this guy's contract is up.
He wants to stay with you. Can we sort it out now? To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
It's time you started to think about a new offer for my client.
5 weeks from now he'll be free to take offers from other clubs. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
We've now got only three weeks to settle a new deal for ^p.
If you don't do something soon I'll start to look elsewhere. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
You'd better step on it if you don't want to lose this one.
You've got three weeks to sort out new terms, otherwise you'll need a replacement. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
Do you think I'm going to let ^p stay here on terms that have expired?
Get off your backside and offer him a new deal! To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
^p is out of contract from next week.
What's your problem with giving him a new contract? To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
What's your problem, sunshine?
If we don't talk, ^p doesn't stay. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
Have you got a problem, ^s?
You're going to lose ^p if you don't offer him a deal worth thinking about, now! To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
If you are going to make a reasonable offer this time, my client will talk to you. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
^p is prepared to talk about his contract, if you are going to be reasonable. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
Ok, we're prepared to talk terms again, but only if you don't make another stupid offer. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
As long as you don't make another stupid suggestion, ^p is open to offers again. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
Assuming you're going to make a decent offer this time, we are prepared to talk again. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
^p is available for negotiation again. Sensisble negotiation, not stupid offers. Oh, and by the way, you should be doing better in the league shouldn't you!? How does it feel to be ^f in the league? Relegation often leads to a lot of player transfers! By the way, when was the last time you talked to your players? Some of them are so depressed they need counselling! Huh! They've nicknamed your club 'The Samaritans' they're all so depressed!! To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
I'm not even going to talk you until he's playing again.
There's no way ^p should be in the reserves.
If you want him to stay at ^t you're going to have to guarantee him first team action, from today. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
You've got to be barmy if you think ^p is going to renew his contract while you refuse to play him.
Either he gets first team football, guaranteed, or he's out of here. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
^p tells me he's tired of playing in the reserves.
You wanna be careful you know - if you want to hold onto him. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
I've been talking to ^p.
Between you and me he's seriously fed up with being in the reserves. I'd do something to cheer him up if I were you. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
If you don't start including ^p in the first team again soon he's gonna want out.
It's all or nothing as far as he's concerned. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
What's wrong with you? If ^p can't get first team football with you, I'll get it for him somewhere else. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
You're going to lose ^p.
Mind you, it won't be the only thing you've lost this year!
To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
You've left ^p out in the cold too long.
He's asked me start looking around for him.
Still it'll be a few more quid in the coffers for you, won't it!! To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
It's time you had a look at what ^p earns. And then double it. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
Come on, ^z, splash the cash. ^p is worth more than ^$ a week. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
Ok, let's make things a little clearer for you.
^p wants more cash, or he's off to get it at some other club. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
You can't keep putting it off.
^p wants more cash. ^p IS gonna get more cash. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
Times may be hard, but that's no concern of ^p. I've heard ^t are interested in him, you know. Think about it. To: ^y
From: Alan Agent
Re: ^p
^z, a word in your ear, as it were.
Pay ^p more money.
Then again, don't bother if you want to get rid of him. To: ^y
From: Coach ^b
Boss,
Can we have a chat sometime about my wages? To: ^y
From: Coach ^b
Boss,
I was wondering if you thought I might deserve a rise by now? To: ^y
From: Coach ^b
Why is it you're never around when I ask for more money?
I'm gonna have to look for a new job if you don't talk to me soon. To: ^y
From: Coach ^b
Please can we sort out a wages review soon.
If we don't speak soon I might be better off leaving the club. ^z,
Things are looking up! I've had a call from Rankin' Roger the famous rock star.
He wants to donate ^$ to the club. Apparently he's a long time fan of the team.
The Chairman ^z,
You'll never believe it! I've just had a fax from Sir John Small, the bloke that owns the local shopping precinct. He's going to donate ^$ to the club.
The Chairman ^z,
We're in luck! I received a cheque for ^$ from an anonymous benefactor this morning.
Just make sure you put the cash to good use.
The Chairman ^z,
Our grant application has come through from the Football Trust.
They have granted us ^$ to spend on ground improvements.
The Chairman ^z,
I'm going to invest some more of my own cash in the club.
I'll put ^$ into the bank today. Just make sure you spend it on getting us some success!
The Chairman ^z,
I have just had a call from our solicitor.
We won the libel case about all those inaccurate match reports in the newspaper! The judge awarded us ^$ in damages!
The Chairman ^z,
I've just heard that the ^t match is going to be televised. It's more important than ever that we perform well.
The Chairman ^z,
Don't forget that the ^t game is live on TV this week. There's a possibility that we may be able to obtain some extra cash from the club sponsors if we put in a good show so that the TV company choose to put us on again.
The Chairman ^z
I'm under pressure from ^r to make sure that the ^t game is entertaining, as it's going out live on TV. They think they'll get more exposure if we play well. There may well be more in it for us, as well.
The Chairman ^z
I received a cheque from ^r this morning for ^$ in 'gratitude' for our recent good showing on TV.
The Chairman ^z
I've just had a fax from our sponsors. They are getting lots of good feedback following our last result. Well done, it'll help the next round of negotiations!
The Chairman ^z
We've just received a performance bonus of ^$ from the club sponsor in recognition of our efforts to keep them in the public eye.
The Chairman ^z
It's not just me that's happy with our current form!
I received a performance bonus payment from the club sponsor this morning.
The Chairman ^z
I've just got off the phone to the Managing Director of ^r. He said they are so delighted with our current status and performance that they want to extend the deal.
The Chairman ^z
Look, I've had the sponsors on the phone this morning and they are less than impressed with our current standing. They want things to improve, fast!
The Chairman ^z
I've had notification that our sponsors are going to pull out if we don't do something to improve our performance. You better sort it out - fast!
The Chairman ^z
You're responsible for getting us in a complete mess! The club sponsor has pulled out of the deal because we're doing so badly. Things WILL improve or I'll pull out of YOUR contract with us as well!

It's showing good signs of mending. He'll need a mask, but can play soon. It's almost completely healed. It's virtually better - he'll be ready soon. It's still too sensitive to think about playing. It could be weeks before he's ready for training. It is not strong enough to play yet. It's still slow progress all the way. He ought to have been ok by now. It should have been a lot better by now. He can't catch the ball without pain. We'll need to put it in a splint for a few weeks. He's getting severe pain from it - he'll be out a fair time. Putting some pressure on it ok now. It will be a few weeks before he can catch properly. Showing reasonable signs of progress. He can use it lightly now. Its looking like he'll be using it normally soon. It's standing up well to pressure. He's catching and punching without pain now. He's using it pretty much normally now. It looks like he could be available next week. The healing appears to have slowed down. He isn't using it as well as he should by now. Its not going well - he still can't use it. Still getting pain when pushing it - needs more time. Not doing well at the moment. Still having problems when trying to use it. It doesn't look too bad - a few weeks out perhaps. He'll need a few weeks rest. He won't be able to train for a few weeks. Seems to be doing ok for now. Nothing unusual to report. Progressing as expected. He is nearly over it. It's starting to heal quite well. He'll be ready to train fairly soon. He's doing very well. He'll be ready next week. Should be back to match fitness soon. He is not recovering particularly fast. He's not doing too well at the moment. He won't be available for a few more weeks. He's only making slow progress for some reason. He should have been ok by now, but he's not ready yet. It hasn't got any better this week. Under Close Observation Physios Report
Re: ^p
^?
It looks like this injury could be a lot worse than we first imagined.
Although he has responded reasonably to the treatment I have given him, it does not look as though he will ever get back enough strength to be 100 Physios Report
Re: ^p
^?
I am having great difficulty getting ^p back to anything like match fit. The situation could be worse than it seemed initially.
The injury is still quite troublesome and looks like it may never heal completely.
I will watch him closely and keep you informed. Physios Report
Re: ^p
^?
As I suspected we have been unable to obtain any further improvement in his condition. It is likely that any sustained pressure or physical exertion is likely to cause his condition to deteriorate.
Sadly, it looks as though he will be unable to play again at this level. Physios Report
Re: ^p
^?
I'm afraid that ^p is not responding any further to the treatment we have been giving him.
I have no doubt that he is not up to full strength and it is likely that the injury will remain a permanent weakness.
It is most unfortunate, but his career at this level is almost certainly over. Physios Report
Re: ^p
^?
^p has started to improve unexpectedly.
We will need to continue monitoring him, but it is starting to look good. I will continue to monitor him and keep you informed. Physios Report
Re: ^p
^?
Fortunately ^p is starting to make some progress with the treatment we have been giving him.
Although we will need to keep a close eye on him, it is starting to look quite favourable. Boss,
The lads are getting a bit fed up with the amount of training you want them to do in the afternoons.
I thought I had better let you know.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
I think we should look at reducing the amount of training we're doing in the afternoons.
We get much more from the team in the mornings.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
The afternoon training sessions we're doing are putting a heavy toll on the team.
We would probably be better off concentrating on the mornings.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
I think it's time we did something about the team training programme.
It hasn't been changed in months.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
We haven't changed the team training programme for months.
The players are losing interest.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
There is a problem with Team Training.
The players are losing interest in training because they have been doing the same things for months.
We need to give them a bit more variation.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
There is a problem with Team Training.
It might be a good idea to have another look at the training programme for ^w.
They are complaining that doing too much of the same thing is boring!
The Assistant Manager Boss,
There is a problem with Team Training.
We would probably get more from the team by mixing up their training more than we currently are on ^w.
They don't like doing the same thing for several hours a day.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
A quick word about the team training...
We may be doing too much of the same thing on ^w. They seem to respond better when the programme is more varied.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
I'd say that we ought to go a little easier in the team training sessions.
If we work the players too hard they'll end up too tired to play.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
We could be doing too much team training for the player's own good.
There are signs that if we carry on at the same rate we could end up over tiring them.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
We need to be careful not to over do the team training.
We may be making progress with their skill, but pushing them too hard is not doing their fitness much good.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
It's not such a good idea to push the team training hard the day before a match.
I think our recent performances may have suffered because the players are tired from the previous day's training.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
There is a problem with Team Training.
I think you may be asking a little too much of the players expecting them to train so hard the day before a match.
It has been causing some fatigue problems recently.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
Can I suggest that we go a little easier on the team training the day before a match.
Some players have been showing signs of fatigue, which may be because we are pushing them too hard.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
There is a problem with Team Training.
I think we could afford to give the players an extra day off training.
It will probably pay more dividends than making them train in the end!
The Assistant Manager Boss,
Are you hearing the suggestions that we are not giving the team enough days free from training?
You ought to think about it.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
There is a problem with Team Training.
Have you thought about letting the team have an extra day off training?
It is something that they keep suggesting. It will probably do them a lot of good.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
The players are complaining that we are concentrating too much on ^i in training.
They want a little more variation.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
We may be overdoing the ^i in training.
The players may respond better if we concentrate a little less on that and give them something else to do.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
We don't seem to be getting the best we could from the team by concentrating so much on ^i in training.
I would suggest that we cut back on it and mix it up a bit more.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
There is a problem with Team Training.
We need more time dedicated to giving the players individual attention.
We aren't making as much progress as we could do, simply because we're not spending time with the players.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
Can I suggest that you allocate more time in the training programme to giving the players individual attention.
We could get more out of them if you gave us more time.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
I think that we would benefit from spending more time in training with individuals than we are currently.
Some of the players are not improving as much as they could if we spent more time with them.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
The team is lacking it a bit when it comes to ^i.
We should probably give it at least couple of hours in training each week to make sure it doesn't get any worse.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
I would suggest that you give some time to training ^i.
It looks to me like they are getting a bit sloppy.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
Have you noticed the team is losing it a bit when it comes to ^i. In my opinion they seem to be on a downhill slope.
A few extra hours in training might sort it out.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
My contract is due to expire on ^q.
Please can we sort out new terms.
^u ^b Boss,
My contract runs out this week.
If we don't agree new terms, I am afraid I will have to leave.
^u ^b Boss,
My contract runs out this week.
I am looking for another job as I am not happy here so don't worry about a new contract.
^u ^b ^z,
^j has finished his loan period and has returned to ^t.
The Assistant Manager ^z,
^j returns to ^t this week, as his loan period is up.
The Assistant Manager Boss,
Don't you think we ought to start doing some team training?
The Assistant Manager Boss,
I'm think we should dedicate some time to training the team together.
We've got plenty of time available. Why don't you sort out a schedule for us?
The Assistant Manager Boss,
It really is time we had a go at doing some team training, in my opinion.
It's up to you, but I reckon we could get a lot more out of the lads if we get them training together.
The Assistant Manager ^s STORMS OUT! Reports are coming in that, in shock move, ^y handed in his resignation to the Chairman at ^g as he left the ground yesterday.
Onlookers at the stadium said that raised voices could be heard coming from the Chairman's office, then the next thing they knew ^s had stormed off.
It is expected that the club will make an official statement later today suggesting that ^s felt he had to leave due to personal circumstances.
