This week saw both our teams, (Epic F.C and TheAwesome), play in games against very good opposition and come away with just one goal and a loss each. With TheaAwesome previously losing their match, Epic F.C felt a little better about their 8-0 loss to Sexii Skilz(fags).
As the players arrived, crucial news arrived that first-time striker Blaise Walker had fallen ill and was unable to play. Thankfully, loan player Conor Richards had arrived with Miguel Periera. The pair graciously agreed to play for the depleted team.
As the match began, Miguel looked hungry to score after a frustrating loss earlier in the evening. 10Nil seemed to be skilled, and played well during the first half. Epic F.C defended fairly well, with Joe Blay only being forced to make 3 saves, one a near post, one a front on stop and one a run-and-block, in the first half.
Epic F.C continued to attack, and the breakthrough finally came, with Miguel being set up by Jordan Edwards to smack home the first goal.
The celebrations were short lived however, as 10Nil immediately began to attack. Speedy runs kept the Epic F.C defense on their toes however Conrad Loo was passed the ball, only to be mauled by three 10Nil players. The defender did well to hold off the attacks, but eventually the ball spilt out and the 10Nil striker hit a close range shot into the net, just before half time.
The second half started, and Epic F.C looked to build on a fairly decent first half. 10Nil began to mark players, making it difficult to find passing avenues for the entire team. This led to more possession in the defensive half for Epic F.C, and hence limited scoring chances.
After 10 minutes of hard and tight football, 10Nil began to overrun Epic F.C. A slick pass caught Jordan Edwards off guard, and allowed a 10Nil player to shoot unopposed directly on the edge of the D.
The game continued in the fashion, with Joe Blay conceding a bad goal to make the score 3-1 before 10Nil won possession of a Conor Richards shot and ran the ball into a scoring position, where the ball was put into the net past a block from Matthew Wong and the dive from Joe Blay.
Epic F.C became more frustrated, with 10Nil marking up and stopping any sort of attacking play. The Epic F.C defense played fairly well, with the only shot in the last 7 minutes hitting the post due to strong pressure from Matthew Wong.
Notes;
Stamina - We seem to always play really well in the first half, and then fall down in the second. We need to perhaps have some sort of energy boost at half time to prepare for the second half. Put some sugar in your water bottles for a short burst in the second half. Maybe eat a banana before the match. We'll keep on the lookout for some other alternatives to this problem further in the week. (Maybe some energy drinks or something).
Movement - Although this team was marking up to prevent passes, we still need to work on moving around. Especially when we get a bit tired. There is no point in passing it back to me, when I then don't have anyone who is running forward to pass it to. I see it as a waste if I am forced to roll it out to someone in our own half.
In addition to just my throw outs, we just in general have to work on moving about to provide passing options.
1 - Miguels awesome volley on the run in the first half.
2 - Conrads 3 shots across the face of goals that were unlucky to not provide assists or goals.
3 - Matthews constant and fearless blocks. Awesome.
4 - Conors weird tick-tock thingy he did about a thousand times in a row to piss off that 10Nil player.
5 - Joe making a save, to then have the ball flick up and hit him in the face just as the half time siren sounded.
6 - Jordans strong attacking passing. Really good.
Thanks to Ashlyn, Emerson and Brittany for coming down and supporting us.
Also, Special thanks to Conor and Miguel, who played for us despite having previously played, from what I hear, a very tiring and physical match.

Hamish and Andy podcast
Yeah Conor, you do realise that you can download the Hamish and Andy show podcast from hamishandandy.com or iTunes everyday for free right?

Platinum Basset
For those who listen to Hamish & Andy on the radio/podcast, you would know that every Friday a regular segment on the show occurs which features Hamish Blake reading out a comic strip known as "Fred Basset".
Andy however, does not like the cartoon and believes that the people do not want it broadcast. Henceforth, every time the segment occurs, Andy constructs some sort of challenge with which to hinder/disallow Hamish to read the comic.
The opening title to the segment begins with some form of heavy rock song with the lyrics, "You've gotta fight! For your right!", before being interrupted by Hamish, "Listen to Fred Basset on the radio".
Recent challenges by Andy have been;
Andy sent a male stripper to Hamish' mum's house. Hamish was forced to read the cartoon while listening to his mother receive a lap dance.
Andy organised several schoolgirls to throw 144 eggs at Hamish as he read the comic, while standing on the roof.
Hamish was forced to eat, "Trappey's Bull Louisiana Hot Sauce", the hottest sauce in Mississippi.
Andy beat Hamish repeatedly with boxing gloves on while he read the cartoon.
Andy had Hamish hypnotised so that he 1 - Forgot the name of the dog(Fred Basset) 2 - every time he heard a hand clap he barked 3 - Became sexually attracted to Andy and 4 - Sing in "Martian Language"
Andy made Hamish run naked around the camper van during the caravan of courage. However, Andy closed and locked the door before Hamish had returned.
Andy organised for Hamish to receive a prostate examination while he read the cartoon.
Andy covered Hamish with dog food and released 50 Basset Hounds.
Hamish was electrocuted in the face.
Although he is regularly hindered, Hamish always manages to read the comic. When he has done this, the outro music begins. "P-P-P-P-Platinum Basset ... Basset"

Epic F.C VS Sexii Skilz(Fags)
Well this game week saw Epic F.C play against the little jewrats known as Sexii Skilz(fags).
The game didn't go according to plan, with Emersons injury rattling the team, and lack of consistency leading to a poor loss by the club.
Many shots were had by forwards Blaise and Jordan, who both were unlucky at times, and also under plenty of pressure from the opposition. Matthew and Conrad were also unlucky at times, with the ball not dropping favourably and being caught off guard by swift attacking play.
The match wouldn't have been all that bad, if it hadn't had been for the courageous Emerson getting injured. A spectacular block that stopped an exceedingly powerful shot ending his match (and probably further matches, which is shitty cos he was just getting settled into Indoor) after just 10 minutes. This lead to no substitutions, meaning our squad was under enormous pressure for most of the game.
The opposition were also little shits.
Cocky and arrogant, they always had a fuckedupshit look on their faces. Especially the little poof who kept diving. Seriously, this idiot would just leap into the air extravagantly as soon as he lost the ball. No free kicks for you.
Epic F.C played a pretty competitive match for the first half, having many opportunities and conceding 3 goals. However as the second half progressed, stamina became a factor. As the clock wore down to about 12 minutes remaining the lack of subs took it's toll, leading to 4 of the goals being conceded.
The match ended 8 - 0.
Highlights included;
1 - Blaise volleying from everywhere he could
2 - Jordans two fantastic shots that were unlucky to hit the bar and get saved
3 - Matthews crazymofo defending
4 - Emersons screams of support from the sidelines
5 - Joe almost braking his shoulder when slamming into the post, only to still concede to a shit
6 - Conrads crazy toepunt passing that led to many shooting chances
Notes;
Defence - A bit unlucky due to no subs so we had lots of pressure, however we did still get out passed on occasions that led to either shots and/or goals. Make sure you are aware of your opponents. Also, put a foot in when they try to hold attacking play up, they're obviously just waiting for a pass, so stop them in their tracks.
Forwards - Did really well, despite not actually scoring. Lots of good shots when you had the chances, but it was a bit hard because of the little shits who kept intercepting like little shits.

The Oracle Dislikes Paramore
For those who do not know, Coldplay have a feature on their website which allows fans to ask direct questions to an entity known only as, "The Oracle". The Oracle then selects several questions and answers them.
Recently, a question about Paramore was asked. This is how it went down;
October 21, 2009 - submitted by Enzo, Brazil
Q. Hi Oracle, are you familiar with Paramore? Because I recently listened to their new album and there is a song: The Only Exception. I think it is similar to the older Coldplay's songs. It's my opinion of course, others maybe won't find it similar. I also would like to ask you how close you are to Chris and the others?
The Oracle replies:
I am aware of Paramore and also the track you mention. As it starts with an acoustic guitar being strummed in a similar vein to Yellow I can see why you mention it. I think that's where the similarity ends if I'm honest.
As you can see from the bluntness of The Oracle' answer, he seems to dislike Paramore, rendering me helpless to say only this;
"Paramore are shit"

Everybody Lova Da Coldplay
In my worldly endeavours to bring COLDPLAY to everybody I have been searching through all songs to find tracks that I believe "Most" people would appreciate. So in this episode, we take a look at the COLDPLAY tracks from the album X&Y that would please those who are into bands such as, "Paramore".
1 - "Square One" - X&Y - This track starts off a little oddly, but strong overlaying guitar riffs and heavy bass lines make this song very, "Paramore - ish".
2 - "White Shadows" - X&Y - White Shadows is one of my favourite COLDPLAY songs. Quite a speedy song, this track incorporates strong guitar riffs and drumming to create a cool and unique sound.
3 - "Low" - X&Y - Very interesting track, Low is a fusion of true alternative rock and the fresh sounds that created the album, "X&Y".
So go forth and listen, ye who love music, go forth and hear the wonderful sounds of COLDPLAY.

SHOCK< HORROR
So today, once I arrived home, I began to play with Dexter the Chihuahua. Now, being Mexican and all, Dexter likes to run superfast up and down the hallway. I decide to battle him in a war of chasey.
While I was flogging his little immigrant ass, running as fast as a horny bull towards a hot bovine babe, I proceeded to trip over myself, in an attempt to not squash him. This then caused me to fall, while twisting in an anti-clockwise direction, meaning my ankle was twisted in the process.
As the mighty had fallen, imminent pain rushed to the injured area. While this happened Dexter attempted to help, by jumping on top of my writhing body in celebration of his victory.
For about an hour, I was too scared to walk on it, fearing the worst ... which meant no indoor! :O
However, after falling again whilst attempting to hop towards my bedroom, I had to use the foot again to get up.
I'm pleased to say that I am not injured, and my ankle was a bitch for scaring me.

Bug Pokemon Lineup - Original 151
Due to Thomas' request, I have decided to also create a super Bug Type lineup from just the original 151 Pokemon(Even though I believe that the original sets from both the Kanto and the Johto region are the best, all the others are kind of repetitive).
1 - Beedrill
2 - Venomoth
3 - Parasect
4 - Pinsir
5 - Scyther
6 - Butterfree
Oh wait Tom, there were only 6 fully evolved/ single evolution Bug Types in the original 151 ... henceforth creating a Bug Type list from the first 151 is redundant ... Jackass.

Greatest Bug Pokemon Lineup
For all those fellow Bug Type enthusiasts out there(You know who you are), I thought that I, Bug Master Joe, would give you a rundown of the best 6 Bug Type Pokemon party.
1 - Beedrill - Bug/Posion
2 - Scyther -Bug/Flying
3 - Ariados - Bug/Posion
4 - Armaldo - Rock/Bug
5 - Yanmega - Bug/Flying
6 - Masquerain - Bug/Flying
Beedrill is just superawesome.
Scyther offers extreme speed with strong attacks.
Ariados is surprisingly very strong. Plus he looks sweet!
Armaldo is super powerful.
Yanmega is really hard to get but it pays off because he is scarily strong.
Masquerain actually evolves from Surskit, a Bug/Water pokemon, meaning that he can know water type moves. This is very handy.
Bug Pokemon are the greatest.

Prediction
Next week both Epic F.C and The Awesomes(fail) will be playing at the same times but against different opposition.
Henceforth, I predict that the week after, October 30 will be the date of the highly anticipated clash between Epic F.C and The Awesomes(fail).
Get ready boys.

Epic F.C VS The Uncos
This week saw Epic F.C play against, "The Uncos". And they were exactly that.
Similar to The Awesomes(fail)' match report, there is hardly much to say about the match.
From the very beginning Epic F.C were on top, with goals and shots coming in from all angles from practically everyone in the team bar Joe.
A brilliant display from the new, "Rotational defense-offense" system meant that everyone got to have their opportunities up forward, and we always had at least 1 fresh man in both offense and defense.
Everyone had a fantastic game and we completely dominated. Our defense was brilliant, led by Matthew Wong, meaning that we could work the ball through the midfield lots and lots of times to create shots on goal. We dominated this game to such an extent that I can't even remember how the game went on chronologically. It was all pretty much the same.
So for the event list, I can't even begin to imagine how many shots Epic F.C had, I've just listed the goals from Epic F.C , and the on-target shots from, "The Uncos".
Play went;

Well then ...
-20 = -20
16 - 36 = 25 - 45
42 - (4)(9)= 52 - (5)(9)
42 - (4)(9) + 81/4 = 52 - (5)(9) + 81/4
42-2(4)(9/2)+(9/2)2=52-2(5)(9/2)+(9/2)2
(4 - 9/2)2 = (5 - 9/2)2
4 - 9/2 = 5 - 9/2
4 = 5
4 - 4 = 5 - 4
Therefore
0 = 1
Umm ...
16 - 36 = 25 - 45
42 - (4)(9)= 52 - (5)(9)
42 - (4)(9) + 81/4 = 52 - (5)(9) + 81/4
42-2(4)(9/2)+(9/2)2=52-2(5)(9/2)+(9/2)2
(4 - 9/2)2 = (5 - 9/2)2
4 - 9/2 = 5 - 9/2
4 = 5
4 - 4 = 5 - 4
Therefore
0 = 1

Epic F.C Wind Up
Trojans 5 - 2 Epic F.C
Finally Indoor began, after much speculation of transfers, traitorous jerks, cheeseeaters and cats, Epic F.C began their 2nd 2009 Indoor Soccer campaign.
This seasons squad had been significantly re-vamped, with the departure of James Hastings(On loan to WJCC and The Awesomes(fail) ) and, Kurtis Bruce ( Jew duty) and Miguel, Miggy P, Periera ( Traitorous Manager, Owner and Player of/for The Awesomes(fail) ), several new additions were at hand for the squad.
Blaise Walker, after much hype and publicity, was added to the team, in addition to Emerson Brophy and Jordan Edwards. This left the team with a strong and dynamic wealth of attacking and defensive options, causing confusion at the starting gates, with several people unaware of their actual positions for the match. This was sorted pre-match, and the game was underway.
The first five minutes flew by, with neither team really threatening on goal, with all players seemingly happy to ease into the tempo of the match. The first blow was struck after six minutes, with a simple shot from the side by Blaise easily collected by the opposition keeper. Following that, several more shots were fired by the forwards of Epic F.C, to no avail.
At 9 minutes, The Trojans began to cement their attacking plays, firing approximately 3 - 4 shots within 2 minutes, but each one was under pressure from our defence, and as such required nothing special of Joe.
After eleven minutes, an unfortunate positioning error lead to three Epic F.C players hanging all together to the right, causing Conrad Loo to need to cover two Trojan players. This lead to a simple build up by the opposition, drawing Conrad to the middle man, before passing to an unmarked player who easily slid it past the keeper for the edge of the circle.
At this point, Epic F.C became more eager to venture forward, sacrificing defence for more forward plays. This worked well to provide more opportunities, with on-target shots fired from Blaise Walker and Jordan Edwards and a fantastic curling shot from Emerson Brophy all saved by the keeper. However, this lead to a gap in the defence, and a quick break from The Trojans left Matthew Wong and Conrad Loo with some desperate defending to do. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, the shot from The Trojans player managed to be on target,and a woeful dive from Joe Blay let the second goal slip in.
It was half time, and Conrad new that the boys needed a bit of a work up. The players were spoken to, and we stepped back onto the pitch, refreshed and ready for a second half.
The first few minutes ebbed and flowed between strong Epic F.C build up without any concise finishing, and quick Trojan plays that required saves, and wasted opportunities for the opposition, thanks to some great pressure defence.
With just twelve minutes left on the clock, Epic F.C needed someone to stand up. And someone did indeed. Some good passing from Jordan Edwards had forced The Trojans back to defend in numbers, but a quick pass back by Blaise Walker to Matthew Wong allowed the previously goalless defender enough time and space to set his shot bound for the upper left hand corner. There was no stopping it, The Trojans keeper flailing about like a dying fish, before the ball smacked into the net.
The stage was set, all that was left to do now was pull back another goal and the game was there for the taking. We set about our task strongly, with good attacking play leading to shots form Blaise Walker and Jordan Edwards. The Trojans struck back quickly, however, with a slick passing move getting around Emerson Brophy and a powerful shot from the side, getting through the hand of the keeper and into the goals.
At 3 - 1 and with only ten minutes remaining, we knew we had to act fast if we wanted to win this game back. Moving up forward, Epic F.C maneuvered and dribbled their way into several goalbound opportunities, another curler from Emerson was notable, as was a powerful volley from the halfway line from Blaise Walker.
After eight minutes of this attacking play, it finally payed off. Good movement down the right hand side by Conrad and Matthew, had allowed for Jordan to be in a shooting position, as he received the ball, he was immediately put under pressure, as such he passed it swiftly to Blaise, who wasted no time in skimming the ball into the back of the net.
Hope was restored, but not for long. Epic F.C continued the attacking runs, but sturdy defence for a solid amount of time had meant that less opportunities for goals had left us with only three minutes with which to score.
But to no avail, as penetrating runs from The Trojans led to a diving save from Joe, that spilt out of the area to a Trojans player, who popped the ball into the goals.
Then as time wore on and only one minute remained, another quick break from the Trojans led to another goal. Emerson Brophy desperately attempted to stunt the pace of his opponent, but in the end, his tackle and then follow up backwards tackle were no match for the quick feet of his opponent, who slipped the ball past a sliding Joe. Seconds after the goal Joe, who had so much momentum from sliding, crashed into the goalscorer. The two players both got back up and play continued for the next forty-five seconds, with The Trojans happy to simply defend in numbers.
A disappointing match in the end for Epic F.C, who had their opportunities and worked hard to bring the game back within reach.
Game notes;
1- As Conrad nicley said, and I yelled mid-match, we must always remember to have at least two players in defence. In addition to this, Joe has also requested that he have at least one of his, as he calls them, "Main Men". That is, a player who often plays in defence for the team and understands the otherwise incoherent instructions from Joe.
At the moment Joe has requested Matthew Wong and Conrad Loo to interchange this role as they see fit throughout the course of the season and matches.
2 - Take chances on shots. We saw in that match, when Emerson ventured forward he took shots as he saw fit, and had two great on target curlers that required saves. Don't be afraid to shoot from a distance if you think you can get it right. Too many times, players had opportunities to shoot and decided against it. I'm not saying we should all shoot all the time, because sometimes we had opportunities to shoot that just weren't viable as scoring chances. But don't be afraid to take the shot.
That's all for this weeks game analysis, goodbye and goodnight.

Expectations For Indoor
This Friday marks the begining of a new Indoor season, with that in mind, let's look at my expectations for this season;
Team list - Epic F.C
GK - Joe Blay
DF/MF(Although he will be looking to venture up foward this season) - Matthew Wong
DF/MF/FW - Emerson Brophy
MF/FW - Blaise Walker
DF/FW - Conrad Loo
MF/FW - Jordan Edwards
Matthew and Conrad will both be looking to improve on a previous fantastic season, adding more goals and tackles this season.
Blaise, as we all know, will be a gun up foward, with his extreme pace, volleying, agility and power.
Emerson will be searching to find his feet this season, but already having previous experience in the physical game of hockey, he won't find it too hard to adapt. With special skills such as the, "Soft Roll" call and the patented, "Backwards Tackle", Emerson looks to be a promising and deadly addition to the squad.
Jordan looks to be the surprise package this season. Pace and physical presence will be the key to his succes, and with proven scoring ability, Jordan looks set to become an important foward option.
Joe will, of course, never concede to the, "Failteam". Non-Fail oppositions beware, Joe will be armed with new gloves that won't break and pants that won't melt this season ! Get ready for sliding, diving action.
Thats all for now, obviously, there will be further indoor updates, and a good amount of Failteam sledging when that fixture arrives.
I'm off to practice diving now, considering I haven't done it for about 4 weeks.
EDIT; Brandon should eat some cheese

AFL Trade Week - Update 2 - Another New Saint
Yet again this week St.Kilda have snagged another quality midfielder, this time from the Fremantle Dockers.
Brett Peake is now a Saint after Fremantle agreed to trade the 26-year-old late on Wednesday.
St Kilda will part with its third-round NAB AFL Draft selection (No.48 overall) to secure the deal.
I like it how St.Kilda aren't losing established players, just QUALITY YOUNG TALENT YOU BAFOONS!! But Brett Peake is a gun so I suppose it's not all that bad.
No news yet on Luke Ball, so Collingwood better act fast.
Bye for now.

A) Trading of other players

B)Trading of National Draft Picks

Obviously because I'm a St.Kilda football club fan, I will be updating the actions of the St.Kilda football club during this time for your enjoyment;
CONOR :D - St.Kilda have traded their 16th priority draft pick to Essendon for Andrew Lovett. Thats right, the speedy, former Essendon, on-baller who can provide an extra dimension in games is now a Saint.
In other St.Kilda Trade Week news, former captain Luke Ball has rejected a three-year contract with the Saints and has requested to be traded to Collingwood.
Thats all for now, hopefully St.Kilda will get a quality player from the Magpies, obviously Bally is a gun so we certainly won't be giving him up for peanuts.
