SAF - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!

Jason's Facebook page was a hive of activity tonight with the announcement that Man U are going to suck next year.  Discussion turned to why Moyes and why he should or shouldn't be the manager.  I said that he doesn't have any qualifications in terms of dealing with egos which started off this little thread.  Gotta love Joe for sticking up for one of his own!  Love your work Joe!

And for the record, I hope that Moyes does get the job.  That'd make both Everton and Man U shitter which as a Liverpool fan is the best possible outcome!

2 Triumphant Returns

The Stallions welcome the return of 2 of their finest this weekend - Nick W who has not been seen since round 1, and Joe who has been gone since round 3. I'm sure our rise to the top bit of the table has nothing to do with your absence, and your valuable presence both on and off the field is just what we need heading into the second round.

Any predictions for this weekend about this two? Will Nick finally manage to score and do one of his cartwheelie, handspring celebrations (Man, its been a while)? How many players will Joe beat - in all senses of the word! Welcome back. I've heard that Nick has grown a little thin European moustache.

Also Spencer is back - it hasn't been as long - but it feels like we have hardly seen you this season. Lets not forget last time you played you got the Stallion - high expectations ...

Talking about high expectations ... We all know Stop Out are going to cast anxious glances about hoping that our 'legend' keeper does a no-show. Ben, you dined out on your performance and the respect of this other team for a while, we will expect nothing less than a repeat tomorrow - I would hate to be you if you have a shocker vs Stop Out on the day when the whole team gets together for fining - could be nasty.

A full, good squad (not including Jamie) for this first time this season - let's do some damage.

Picture: Nick makes his way to the game, via the pattissere.

Player Profile: Joe 'just 1 more week and I'll be able to play again' F

Position:
Anywhere really – I think I must be the only Stallion who has graduated from the backs through the midfield to playing upfront and then to back to midfield. Versatility or something else?

Stallion Hall of Fame:
Not yet

How many seasons as a Stallion?
This is my 3rd

Are you a dual Stallion? If so what game are you best at?
Played 1 season with the cricketers and now serve as an unreliable ring in. Best at football I would say

Greatest Stallion Moment?
Beating the Indians a couple of weeks ago stands out – a hard fought, warts and all victory. Other than that, our wind swept final victory over Brooklyn a couple of seasons ago.

Worst Stallion Moment?
Personally, getting injured this season and being confined to the sidelines.

Describe your last goal for the Stallions.
My dying seconds goal against the Indians in the last game of last season. Slyly dispossessed one player, beat another couple then coolly dispatched it into the top left hand corner to level it at 3-3 and stave off relegation! (ok, I’m embellishing just a tad).

Complete the sentence - As a player I am susceptible to ...
Outbursts of emotion apparently (although I am approaching my game more calmly of late ;p)

Most under-rated Stallion?
Jason – a formidable workhorse

Finish this sentence. The Stallions need more?
Practise

Which international player is most like you?
Zinedine Zidane of course – flawed but brilliant

Where will the Stallions finish in 2008?
A top 3 finish is looking more than possible
