The crisis at table topping Coastal Hogs dramatically widened Wednesday when star sweeper Social Dave threatened to quit and his backup Shanus was ruled out for the season.
As recriminations turned personal following Saturday's shock loss to the cellar-dwelling Fernhill, SD first taunted the attack with allegations that they were unable to put the ball between the posts and under the bar then reacted with anger when it was pointed out that the defence was not up to the standard of AC Milan's in the late 1990s.
There was no respite on the injury front with Shane's knee requiring surgery. Beyond that, the level of personal gripes are starting to grate some team members.
"For Chrissakes, we are top of the table with five wins and a loss," said TH10. "It's not the freaking Champions League - it's Masters 2. We have had five goalscorers this season, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and now a couple of people look to be taking this all a bit too seriously.
"Who would have thought we were the sort of people to sledge someone who turned up to run subs, make personal attacks about our various abilities or threatened to pick up our ball and run off home when someone had a different opinion to ours."
Meanwhile in the inevitable period of transfer speculation, the Chogs have been linked to several players who could solve the issues they are confronted with currently.
"Yes, we haven't scored as many goals as Man Utd but we have had fewer losses than them," said TH10. "Yes our backs struggle to run the 50m up and back 40-50 times a Saturday, but I think I've come up with a solution. Harry Kewell is available currently but I'm not sure if we are prepared to gamble on someone with his fitness concerns, particularly in our current situation.
"I'm confident, however, that we could bring in someone like Eto'o or Ronaldhino. And, if SD carries through with his quit threat, then maybe we will move for Materazzi.
"Regardless, it's clear that the team we have is deeply flawed and will never amount to much more than a half decent Masters 2 side unless we spend more time bagging the shite out of each other."

Well said TH10, we're doing this for fun aren't we? Can we get Jon Stanfield to walk away from his pledge of abstinence?
realistically this will probably not be our last loss, yes we lost against the cellar dwellers but we showed in the second half we can recover from a poor start regardless of failure to hit the back of the net. We are all grown men and can cop a bit on the chin however we should keep the personal stuff out of it....We gotta rememeber we are missing a few key players and some are on one leg!
lets look to this week, no point dwelling on the past.
stay happy
Now that's fucking funny, TH10.

Oh but it wasn't meant to be funny. How could it be when we shelled out millions on an attack which can't score goals and our defenders can't run up and down like machines. Anyway, at the heart of this is a serious issue. We have funds in the fines kitty - who do we want to splash out on? I think there's probably 11 positions where we could handle strengthening...
Come on let's have some creative suggestions...
Kylie or Paris?
what the @#$%, one day away from the nerd box and all hell breaks loose....scary stuff

go the maroons

I reckon it was great to see the Fernhill guys so happy. They hadn't won all year and may have thought they weren't going to. They beat the team who were red hot. They were really chuffed and good on them. They played in a good spirit. We played poorly, but could have won by 3 or 4. Let's not make it worse by beating ourselves up. The start of last year was sad. At least this year we started like gangbusters and the Saturday nights have been very enjoyable as a result. As Brian said "Cheer up you sad bastard" - I think, but definitely - "Don't grumble, give a whistle." See you on Saturday.
Guys a gentle reminder that if you're posting as anonymous you might want to leave your initials as Sean and Unlucky 13 do so we can see who's making sense and who's talking drivel (TH10)...
And "nerd box"! I resemble that remark.
Hooley fuck'n dooley, Thank Christ we didn't have a website last season. I thought we were going ok.
