The Pope of Ulidia

Hatchet McFlynn - the smiling assassin

Since Ron Manager has been on enforced leave of absence, I have been called on to select teams at the beginning of each game. I believe that this is something that should be done before players arrive and consequently allow us to get started marginally quicker. I will raise this at the AGM. Last night's game saw Magic get a late call up as Girly was painting his toe nails, but this was very much a like for like replacement and did not affect the outcome of the game. 

Team selection follows a strange code as Ulidia's chief hatchetman is a regular first choice. As an advocate of fair play, I am unable to condone this preposterous selection method especially last night when Axeman Power was on the same side as Hatchet McFlynn. Despite this sorry state of affairs, I am pleased to report that flair and skill were victorious. The losing team may have been cold, calculating and clever in their callous attempts to thwart genuinely attractive football but they were not so good at counting up to five which was the number of goals scored by the winning team.

Post match, I discovered that Hatchet McFlynn is departing these shores imminently on a pilgrimage to Rome where he will receive absolution for his past crimes and can thus begin again his personal crusade in ankle biting.

On a more jovial note, Fuzz is booking the Xmas Dinner this week. Looks like we will have around 20 starters (and 20 mains) so you will be required to front up with a deposit which will also be £20. Date is December 1st.
