League
11.03.07 Cosmopolitan FC 1 v 7 Loko (Andrew, Roger, Adrian, James, Pete, Stephen, Dale) [Match Report]

Stat Attack

- This is Loko's final league game of the season.

- This is only the second meeting ever between these two teams, with the first meeting taking place less three weeks ago with Loko coming out resounding 7-1 winners, and that was playing with only ten men.

- Loko have now secured fourth place in the league and already have more points this season that they obtained in the whole of last season, with 26 points. A victory will give us 29 points from our 18 games.

- Cosmopolitan are bottom of the table with 8 points from 17 games.

- Loko have the joint third best defence in the League conceding only 25 goals in 17 games (that includes the 7-1 defeat to WKK). We have scored 34 goals in 17 games. Cosmopolitan have scored 23 and conceded 75 in 17 games.

- Loko's top scorers in the league are Roger 13, Dave H 4, Stefan and Peggy on 3. As far as I am aware Roger is still the league top scorer. Let's give Roger some chances on Sunday to increase his chances of winning the golden boot.

One Or The Other! - Nick Michaelides



Sport Questions!!!

FA Cup final or England debut?
FA Cup final - better atmosphere, more motivated players, more interesting result. Playing for England in their current form doesn't seem too hard, I think I might get called up soon.

Snooker or darts?
Darts - it's faster, more fun, and it's easier to fluke stuff.

Rugby union or rugby league?
Rugger union - played it as school so it makes more sense (though it took me a while to stop shouting "handball!") than rugger league. No idea what happens there.

Cricket or tennis?
Tennis, which is high-energy, explosive, fast, and can involve girls in small skirts (as opposed to cricket which is slow, boring and involves men rubbing cork balls on their own balls).

Real Madrid or Barcelona?
If we're talking football, don't really care much for either. If we're talking travel, Barca's ok and never been to Madrid so it would be Barca by default.

Rangers or Celtic?
Again, don't care much for either Kevin Keegan or Kenny Dalglish? Kevin Keegan for three reasons: the first is that TV clip from the 70s where he falls off the racing bike, the second is comedy hair way back when, and the third is that I don't understand Kenny Dalglish and have to turn on the subtitles when he's on.

Tiger Woods or Roger Federer?
Roger Federer, possibly because I know tennis better than I know golf and so can appreciate his skill better.

Pele or Maradona?
Pele - although I think Maradona showed possibly greater skill as a player, he was/is clearly troubled, and Pele is more admirable both on and off the pitch.

Television Questions!!!

Coronation Street or Eastenders?
Eastenders - not that I watch it, but don't see the appeal of Corrie at all.

Tom or Jerry?
Tom - though driven merely by natural instincts and therefore less intelligent than Jerry, Jerry is a really annoying smug little shit.

Phoenix Nights or The Office?
Never seen Phoenix so it's The Office by default.

Jonathan Ross or Charlotte Church?
Jonathan Ross, especially for the BBC3 series Japanorama. But Charlotte Church deserves a mention for her ample talents.

Gary Lineker or Adrian Chiles?
Gary Lineker - he walks the walk and he talks the talk. Adrian Chiles reminds me of a pug.

Trinny or Susannah?
Trinny without a doubt. Susannah bears more than a passing resemblance to Oscar from Sesame Street.

Star Wars or Star Trek?
Star Wars - it may be geeky but at least the films only last so long. Star Trek goes on and on and on and it's one spin-off after another, encouraging sad people all over the world to learn kling-on... make no mistake, Star Trek sucks the fat one.

Royal Family or Royle Family?
Never watched the Royles, so Royal by default. Plus there is a certain entertainment value with the Royals.

Big Brother or X-Factor?
X-Factor for the audition stages and all the weird people who think they have the X factor but in fact have the S.H.I.T. factor.

Food & Drink Questions!!!

Salt and vinegar or ready salted?
Salt & Vinegar

Curry or kebab?
I'm half-greek so it's gotta be kebab, and a proper one at that, not an elephant leg doobrey.

Cheddar or stilton?
Can't think what Stilton tastes like (don't say Stilton) so let's play it safe and say Cheddar.

Sunday roast or chicken pasta?
Sunday Roast every so often, otherwise quite happy with the healthy option of chicken pasta.

Poached or scrambled eggs?
Scrambled.

Mars or snickers?
Snickers - the peanuts have it.

Bitter or lager?
Lager.

Red wine or white wine?
White wine as it's lighter than red, but depends on the food of course.

Tea or coffee?
Neither but most likely tea than coffee.

Music Questions!!!

Chris Moyles or Terry Wogan?
Terry Wogan is an institution. Chris Moyles is a twat.

Rock n Roll or R n B?
Rock.

Girls Aloud or Sugababes?
Sugababes for the musical talent, Girls Aloud for the visual stimulation (but you can keep the miserable ginger one).

Oasis or Blur?
Blur just for Song 2 (WOOO-HOOO!) but they both have their strengths: Blur for more intelligent music, Oasis for easily accessible piss-head songs.

Arctic Monkeys or Kaiser Chiefs?
Kaisers.

Beatles or Rolling Stones?
I would have said Beatles but in recent years, I've come to appreciate the Stones a lot. If I had to pick... Beatles.

Kylie Minogue or sister Danni?
YEAH!... oh, sorry, thought it said Kylie Minogue AND sister Danni. Kylie.

Three Lions or World in Motion?
World in Motion - John Barnes rapping, and I associate the song with the summer of 1990 which was wicked.

Dr Dre or Eminem?
Eminem's ok, I especially like peanut but not crazy about chocolate. In the States, they have peanut butter Eminem and it's really nice.

Lifestyle Questions!!!

Baby Bentley or Robin Reliant?
I have problem with the term "Baby Bentley". It sounds crap. Imagine if you pull a girl in a nightclub, take her home in the Bentley and christen the back seat en route, and then you recount to your mates in your pub how you"got your rocks off in the back of a baby". It's not right. So I guess that means Reliant.

Tattoos or piercing?
It's easier to have a shit tattoo than a shit piercing. Plus you could potentially heal from a piercing. And yet I'm not saying piercing, I'm saying tattoo - just make it tasteful.

Night in with the missus or night out with the lads?
Night out with the lads but turn up late because of the missus.

Dog or cat?
Never had either one, but either could be ok with the right seasoning. Oh wait, wrong section, this is lifestyle. I'll say dog for the interaction.

City or countryside?
Both have their strengths and weaknesses but I'm starting to lean more towards countryside for lifestyle and fresh air etc.

Blackpool or Bondi?
Come on, no contest - Bondi!

Shoes or trainers?
Trainers.

Tracksuit or sharp suit?
Sharp suits, but not with trainers.

Pro Evo or Fifa?
Pro Evo, though to be honest, not played any of the recent Fifa's.

Pedalo or rowing boat?
Rowing - it may be harder work but you get a sense of going somewhere /doing something.

Match Report: Barnes FC v Loko

Sunday 18th March 2007
Barnesalona League

Barnes FC 1 v Lokomotiv Londres FC 1

Peggy Strike Secures Draw

Another game against Barnes and another close result, these sides although a distance apart in terms of league placings continually provide end to end battles with neither team gaining much of an upper hand.

This game was played at the much loved or sometimes much hated pitch besides Barnes Railway Station, and even though the pitch was dry, it was extremely uneven and a struggle to play good football on.




Loko started the game with a bare eleven, as Pete was late travelling over from Hackney, and had to be content with a place on the bench. Ismail kindly agreed to go in goal, with a back four of Paul, Nick, Rohan and Adrian. Dale and James were in the centre of midfield with Dave H and Peggy on the right and left wing respectively. Stefan and captain Roger started the game upfront.

Loko started well and had Barnes on the back foot for most of the first half, a scrappy half was been dominated by the railwaymen and most of the play was in and around the edge of the Barnes penalty area. The best early chance fell to Roger, after Stefan had headed a ball into his path for him to run onto. The ball took a while to drop kindly with the goalkeeper quickly advancing and his lob cleared the keeper but unfortunately also the crossbar and the chance was wasted.

A second chance arrived immediately when Dale played Roger in down the right hand side of the box, he stood the defender up in front of him and eased to the byline before whipping in a ball to the near post where Stephen arrived but couldn't direct his header on target and the ball flashed a yard wide of the upright.

Loko were clearly on top here with a strong wind behind them and they looked to make the most of the conditions. Five minutes later and Peggy decided to repay the compliment, again it was Dale who played him in space down the left hand side, he turned in a near post cross where Roger got in front of the defender but could only direct the ball over the crossbar from six yards out.

Loko deservedly took the lead on the half hour mark, Dave H, James and Dale harried the Barnes midfield into a mistake and the ball rolled lose to Stefan who played a quality ball thirty yards in behind the Barnes right back where Peggy (pictured above) had advanced chesting the ball down in his path and placing the ball past the keeper into the bottom corner.

Barnes finally came back into the game and one player ran through but could only put the ball wide, then almost immediately a second player got space on the edge of a crowded goal area and also put the ball wide. It served as a warning about what to expect in the second half.

Half-time Barnes FC 0 v Loko 1

At half-time Dale swapped with Ismail in goal so that Ishmail could have 45 minutes running around. Pete replaced Rohan at the back and the system continued as a 4-4-2.

It was a poor start to the second half from the steamers and Barnes equalised five minutes after half-time, a scrap on the edge of the area resulted in the ball falling kindly to their midfielder 12 yards out with not a Loko body within two metres, and he placed it into the bottom corner. Dale in goal misjudged the pace on the ball and tried to get down to it, managing to get his hand on the ball, but unable to keep it out.

Loko started again and looked dangerous going forward, Roger had the pace on the Barnes backline and on numerous occasions got down the line with the final ball just failing to find an onrushing Londres midfielder.

At the other end, Barnes, with the wind behind them had a lot of possession but didn't do much with it. They had a number of long range efforts off target, one dipping just over, and a one on one on the hour mark when he again put the ball wide of the advancing Dale and the post. Other than that it was comfortable for the Loko keeper who took a couple of corners and through balls with ease.

In the final twenty minutes Loko should have won the match, Roger had a drive from the edge of the area comfortably saved by the Barnes keeper, Stefan twice hit shots on the turn but saw them flash across the six yard box. Dave H hit a couple of shots wide from the edge of the box, and on one of those occasions actually had time to bring the ball down one on one with the keeper but didn't receive a shout of time.

Loko best chance arrived with ten minutes remaining when Ismail skinned his man by the touchline and laid it off to Roger near the edge of the box, his strike beat the keeper but came back off the crossbar and with it went the three points, with Loko having to share the spoils.

Once again a game with Barnes and another draw, but solice can be taken from the chances created, and with Ladbroke Groovers losing to Hendrix FC, fourth spot has been secured.

Stat Attack

- Loko sit in fourth place in the League and the likelihood is that that is where they will finish, they are six points behind WKK in third, with only two games left and six points ahead of Ladbroke in fifth, although Ladbroke have a game in hand.

- Loko have scored 33 while conceding only 24 whereas Barnes have scored 30 conceding 32 goals in the League.

- These are always tight affairs as last season shows with two Loko wins to one and one draw. This season both teams have won a game with one draw.

- Roger is currently five goals ahead of second place in the League top goalscorers chart, lets ensure that he gets the chances to increase that tally on Sunday.

Match Report: Cosmopolitan FC v Loko

Sunday 11th March 2007
Barnesalona League

Cosmopolitan FC 1 v Lokomotiv Londres FC 7

Cosmo Blizted by Ten-Man Loko

A convincing performance by Lokomotiv this morning on a beautiful sunny spring Sunday morning in Barnes, on the west side of London.

The teams task was made doubley hard at 9.30am due to a last minute pull out by Stefan which left an original bare eleven Loko with only ten players. The chance to recruit Cedric was lost as Cosmo who had ten men as well got there first, and he made their team a full compliment of eleven.

The team started in a somewhat unaccustomed 3-1-3-2 formation with Ismail in goal, a back three of Paul, Pete and Nick. Dale sat just in front of the back three with Rogers brother Andy in centre midfield flanked by Peggy and Adrian, with James and Roger himself upfront.

Loko started brightly and even with a man less were passing the ball around with fluency, and the movement off the ball was superb and always gave the man on the ball two or three options at a time. It took ten minutes for the railwaymen to take the lead, as a corner from Adrian went way beyond the back post, Roger retrieved it and played a delightful ball to the opposite back post, where Dale chested it down and rolled the ball across the goalmouth four yards out for Andy to sidefoot the ball home for a deserved early lead.

Loko had numerous other chances and Roger ran through into the area on a couple of occasions but couldn't quite hit the target, Peggy was getting plenty of space down the left and a couple of crosses came to nothing. On the half hour mark Loko opened up a two goal lead, where Dale picked the ball up in the centre circle and flighted a ball over the top of the defence for Roger (pictured above), who had timed his run to perfection, to run through on goal, hold off the defender and slot the ball into the bottom corner, so as it stood it was Cosmo nil the Barnes brothers two.

The Loko defence were all playing well in light of a new and unaccustomed formation and Paul, Pete and Nick were communicating well, with Andy swapping with Dale and holding a more defensive role and helping out the back three.

The last action of the half could have resulted in a third Loko goal, as Adrian played Roger in down the side of the area, he turned his man and laid a ball off to Dale who shot first time from the edge of the box but the ball sailed a yard wide of the goal.

Half-Time Cosmopolitan FC 0 v Loko 2

The mood was positive at half-time and everyone chipped in with encouragement and a need to step it up in the second half as the next goal would be crucial, we were determined to spring straight from the blocks and kill the game off, and that's exactly what happened with two further goals in the first ten minutes after half-time.

The first goal came as Dale played Peggy in down the left, he skinned his man and crossed for Dale, who had continued his run, to hit a left footed shot which Roger deflected towards goal, the keeper saved excellently and as the ball rolled to the edge of the area on the right hand side, Adrian (pictured above) hit the ball with venom low into the keepers bottom corner, which was an excellent strike.

The second again came through Peggy down the left who fed Roger inside the defender, he took a quick glance up, saw the keeper come off his line and played the ball across the area for James (pictured right) to run onto unopposed and sidefoot the ball home into an empty net with the goalkeeper stranded.

Loko eased off the gas a little with a four-nil lead, but still Roger and James both ran through on goal but couldn't quite find the finish they deserved. The first action of the match for Ismail in goal saw him pick the ball out of the net, as a goalmouth scramble saw a shot from the edge of the area deflect off a defender and wrongfoot Ismail and sail into the bottom corner.

Andy and Pete swapped at this point to give Andy a breather as this was his first 90 minutes in quite a while, almost immediately it paid dividends as a corner from James was met by the boot of Pete (pictured left) and the ball took a slight deflection on the way through and wrongfooted the Cosmo keeper giving Loko a fully deserved 5-1 lead and Pete celebrated estatically with James in the corner, with this being his first goal since the Tournoi in Hungary last summer.

Cosmopolitan heads had gone down by this point and Peggy (pictured right) ran through two men in midfield, played a one-two with Roger, then rounded the keeper to score a fine individual goal and add the sixth for the Railwaymen.

Ten minutes later and along came number seven, again Peggy was played into oceans of space down the left hand side, he rounded the fullback, ran into the six yard box and hearing the call from Dale (pictured below) laid it off for an easy leftfoot tap in from the central midfielder.

Roger and James were now getting in behind the defence with ease and the Cosmo keeper kept the score down with a number of wonderful one on one saves, as Roger could have scored five and James pretty much the same.

The goals that were scored today also showed a lot of unselfishness by the Loko players, as three of the seven were scored by an easy pass and tap-in when they could have shot from a more difficult angle and would have been much more likely to miss.

It was a job well done by the ten men of Loko, it helps the goal difference and with Auckland forfeiting their game against West Ken Kings, consolidates the Steamers position in fourth place. It was a good workout in hot temperatures and will help the boys conditioning in the build up to the Tournoi in June.

Captain's Corner - March 2007

"The crucial part of the season has arrived, where a good season can suddenly become a bad one.
Since the turn of the year we have performed to a good standard, apart from the WKK game where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Plenty of good chances not taken and soft goals conceded, but we can definitely put this down as a one off and make sure this does not happen again.

Our first game in March is Celtic currently top of the table but they have not beaten us in two games this season. [...and now a third - Ed] The game is a 'double header' with 3 cup & league points at stake, this is without doubt our biggest game of the season where a win will put us through to the semi-final.
Next up we have Cosmopolitan and we finish off with Barnes. Two league games that we are more than capable of winning.

We have put ourselves in a fantastic position in the cup and have already proven this season that we can beat anyone in the league on our day. The time has arrived for everyone to stand up and be counted, it should not be down to the manager to motivate us for the big games, we have done very well to date now we must take it to the next level which is the difference between winners and being 'also rans' lets make it happen."

Celtic 2 v Lokomotiv Londres FC 2

Loko Stride Towards Semi-Finals!



An encouraging second half fightback saw Loko take a significant step towards the cup semi-finals for the first time in a number of years.

An own goal and a crisp 20 yard finish by James (pictured above) saw Loko share the spoils in this double header that gives Loko a further League point to add to their tally also.

A cold day but an encouraging performance from the boys, and a score that means the next cup weekend result's will make a significant difference to the table.

Uncle Bob's play Celtic and a draw or victory for Uncle Bob's will see us through to the semi-finals. That would then make our game against them on the 15th April a group decider.
