The Whining 11 squad turn up with the long lost blue jersey in this game. Notably lack of fire power with several attacking missing. Asen started in goal with Zhenquan, Simon, Fat and Daniel lining up from right to left. Had loan signing Weikang on left mid duty while Seng started on the right. Centre pair was Lewis and Rixian. While Xianxi and Taran started up front. Saran, Chai and Adrian started on the bench.
Team BOB are a team comfortable with ball on feet and effective one touches with good passing range. The Whiners never had the chance to hold possession for long with their constant pressure and our own poor touches. And after about 10 minutes Whiners were down 1-0. Ball came through the right wing with a hint of offside but the goal stood and the team let their heads hung low. Soon after Whiners conceded the 2nd when a free kick came in but the rebound was not cleared in time and Team BOB's striker hooked in the rebound from close range. Not long before chaos happened again when a ball slipped through and Asen was left helpless 1 on 1 and lost out. Taran had a header saved as the Whiners seek to get back into the game. The half fizzled out in poor fashion from both sides.
After the break midfield dynamo Chai was introduced in place of Seng and Adrian stayed in the middle after replacing Lewis in the first half, Taran moved out to the right wing, while Saran took up Zhenquan's right back berth. The substitutions were starting to have some impact but the Whiners conceded a fourth when Team Bob's striker picked up a rebound and slotted in. But the Whiners battle on and start to string a few moves, pressuring high and winning challenges. Saran tried a free kick just into the opponents' half and his low shot was blocked. Soon after Chai snatched at a chance to lob volley over the keeper and it went just wide off the post. The pressured finally paid off when a free kick was won just outside their area and up stepped Simon to whip in a stupendous free kick off the underside of the bar. With confidence growing the Whiners soon made it 4-2 when Saran hit a long shot from our own half which flew into the top right hand corner. Talk about superb technique and power! More chances are created but the Whiners failed to get on the scoreboard again but it was at least a good 2nd half performance. Let's have more of the same spirit we displayed in the 2nd half! See you guys soon!

3 Weeks One time... Finally me first defeat in e league...
Yes my first league defeat encountered is against Torpedo Rovers... Last Year when we lost to Morning Glory i wasnt really around LOL... Anyway.... Discount the woeful performance at Queenstown that Zonghui managed to Bagged a Brace inclusive of a Specatcular Volley.... It will be better to move into our league game as an archive.
Following back to back defeats in friendlies, our Confidence has been shaken and taking a lower performer of the league could be good news. Coupled with the fact that they are starting with only 9 players. An unfamiliar Backline started the game with Taran betweeen the posts.
Ah boon myself Zhenquan and Tianjun guarded the posts. Adrian sat in the middle of the park with RX While Seng and Ke jang took the flanks. Zong Hui lead the Attack supported by Chai. Chai took the lead for us by slamming from close range after confusion from the rangers. There were poor communications on the pitch for the Reds while they struggled to find the net with referee offering lots of Dubious decision benefitting the Rangers. Taran showed his versatility on the pitch by keeping the Rangers at bay. Despite our numerous effort pushing forward we couldn't extend the lead only to be hit by a sucker punch to allow them to creep in for an equaliser.
Our effort to go for the kill became more driven and Who Else... Found the net with a neat shot that tucked nicely into the bottom left hand corner... But the match ended with some fright as the referee disallowed a last minute goal from them.... A huge sigh of relief....
Finally we get to taste the prowess of Torpedo Rovers in the following week and were pretty much intimidated by their reputation when a corner was not picked up and they manage to go in front in the first 20 min. 1st Half ended 1-0 as Chai was taken off the pitch when he picked up a knock. Sadly, the whinners played second fiddle in the second half when the rovers picked up two more goals to end the game 3-0. Not a convincing win for them and we believed we could have done better..... It was a defeat that sparked many's sentiments to train harder....
Words were placed into Actions.... The reds came in full force... And they have a point to prove... Match Started with Big Daddy Saran in between the posts. Simon Zhong Zheng in central Defence. In form Full back Zhen Quan took the right berth while Daniel had a job to do on the left. Jumain and Lewis formed the heart of the Midfield Flanked by Ke Jang on right and Weixiong on left. Taran Supported Zong Hui in Attack.
A fiery start but not able to conjure anything in attack but Ke Jang brought us 1-0 when he latched onto a Jumain Shot. Defence was having an easy time while Zhen Quan was putting in another 5 star performance setting up attacks and a rock in defence. Second goal game from a spectacular Volley From Seng in the second half that was buried so deep in the net it could have ripped the net. Wei Xiong send the Reds 3-0 Up when he blazed down the flank and finished with his left foot special.
A small lapse in concentration from the defence allowed the Rangers to reduce the deficit to 3-1 and it wasn't long before Taran set up Xian Xi for the Fourth Before Rixian wrapped it up with a right foot finish.
It was a good win for the whiners as they strive to improve their form, improve their play...... Communications... But whatever the case, it was a good win and everyone deserves a rest....
Until next week lads...

After the Long Wait...
After the long wait.... Finally i decide to use the last 10 minutes of a seemingly over and done with match between Man U and Sunderland to pen down what we have missed in the last 6 games.....
In Friendlies, we have had a Game at Fuchun Secondary in which Xian Xi Nailed 4 goals to his name... My humble apologies as it has been awhile and we have clean forgotten how the goals were scored.... In the same game Zonghui bagged a hat trick and Chai had a Goal to his name as well.... A good Friendly to sharpen the Striking instincts of our team's Goal Scoring Trio.... Xianxi's 4 Goal Rout shows how much he wants to get dethrone Zongba of his Goal Machine Tag but he is no pushover as well matching XX with a Hat Trick as well... Another friendly seeing WX re-joining the team after a long layoff and bringing with him A Nigerian Centreback to musterthe defence.... A two Brace from our Youngest Player and One from our Young Player of the Year KJ seal the game before Seng notched one for the team in which he redeemed himself for a GLaring miss on Thursday Night Teck Whye Football.
Our Disastrous, Utterly Disgusting performance since establishment made history in Mud filled, Potholes packed Pioneer Sec. We dominated the game but went 2-0 Down in second half from mysterious lapse of concentration..Came back 2-2 through Jin and a RX penalty... But our heartache and Disbelief and ultimate disgust at ourselveswas sealed Confirmed and Chop when they scored their 3rd goal from the same skinny Indian spectacle man.... Our day was over, our hearts cracked and we al wanted to vomit at that level of performance.... But we have to pick ourselves up for our league game.... Which is next week... No use self pitying ourselves....
The New Season started on a Bad note in Beatty Secondary which ended the game in disbelief between two sides as the referee mysteriously called off the game after WX and KJ put us in the driving seat.... Eventually the league started with us playing against Kallang CS together with our Prize Presentation after we deservingly became D2D Div 2 champs...This match was was played after our horrendous show at Pioneer Sec..... The match was played in Bowen Secondary and everyone was psyched up to seal the 3 points..Saran inbetween the post.... Jin and Simon lead the defence with Zhen Quan and Daniel on the right and left defensive position respectively... Jumain and Rixian SSat in Centre Midfield Flanked by KJ on the left and Zhen Qing on the Right. Chai filled the gap behind Zong Hui...
Zong hui put us 2-0 Up quickly when he put on his Goal Scoing boots with a well placed shot and a Striker Instinct's Poached Goal... A Third Goal From an Unlikely Source... Young Player of the year "Wannabe" Zhenquan latched onto a Chai pass to put us 3-1 after Kallang CS's Freekick broke our defence and Zonghui Completed his HaT Trick when Tianjun Curled in a World Class Cross from the right, following a Challenge.
Our Second League Game saw us taking on Arch Rivals "Nemesis" Morning glory at Deyi Secondary School. With Lots of Hype and energy we went into the Game with scores to settle that Morning Glory Inflicted our one and only defeat last season... But it seems they were another teaam fro another country when Weixiong easily claimed his Hat trick.... Joining him in the score sheet is Kejang, ZongHui and Rixian.... It is seemingly that the youngsters are stamping their Presence in the Club..... 6 points from 2 games we are drawing some unwanted attention.....
A friendly is all we need to ease the tension and go into the game to just hone our awareness and sharpness but apparently everybody seem to be complacent and most of the time flat footed and doesn't show as much grit as compared to a league game.... But we showed what we are made of and Nigel Brought us Back into the Driving Seat with a Goal before Chai ripped the net apart with the second goal.Saran Took an unfamiliar position in centre back and made his Monstrous presence felt with his Rocket Clearances and over-powering Body Build. Kejang took us 3-1 up latching to a Xianxi layoff and Zhenqing rounded up the game with a Toe poke in 90min....Another glamour performance from the whiners as they are set to face torpedo rovers the folowing week.
But as fate decides.... Our Top of the Table Clash was Shifted... Same Goes for Man U Vs Chelsea and our next League game was again Aces Galaxy in which i painstakingly mistaken it for Aces United. And i was sure that they werent the other Aces when they started the game positively with their industrious play.... New Signing Zong Zeng took to the stage in centre Back With TJ and Daniel on Right and Left back respectively. Asen starting ahead of Saran to guard the posts.
Chai and Rixian Packed the midfield deploying Young Player of the Year Ke Jang on the left and hardman Nigel on Right. Xian Xi and Zonghui Spearheaded the Attack Upfront.
Aces Galaxy took the Lead through a doubtful call for Offside in the first half.... Talismanic Targetman Zonghui on one of his goal Shy days dropped deep to help in moving the ball up with the help of Midfield Dynamo Duo of Chai And Rixian.... Twinkle Toed Ke jang Danced around on the Left giving the right defence of Galaxy a tough time and made many attempts to break the deadlock only to be met by the Closed eyes of Lady Luck when Keeper repeatedly making unbelievable shots. Zonghui was left dumbfounded when his trademark shots were met by the excellence of the opposition keeper...
Seng came in for Nigel And Zhenqing made the swap with Xianxi midway through 1st half intorducing more muscles for flair and one sweeping movement from good play from the right saw Zhenqing Floating the ball for Kejang to volley it In for the equaliser. Thanks to the Upright... a Flurry of Passess exchanged between Chai and Rixian opened up the Galaxy defence for Rixian to Loft a Deft Shot dipping ferociously byond the keeper's reach.
Galaxy made various attempts to Bring themselves back into the game but was only nullified by the tenacity of the backfour and the spirit of the team.... The second half was a display of how the whiners hold the forte and kept pushing the limits of the opposition.... Saran came on for Asen who had a magnificent 1 on 1 save n the first half.... Saran's introduction saw Arty Shells dropping on opposition's side with his huge goal kick.... Opposition had no answers to it... But we were not able to extend our lead further and the final whistle came as melody to our ears....
We came out the eventual winner and our first three points of the year 2011. A good win and a good start.... Hopefully we will be able to maintain the fire, the fighting spirit and the Form to go all the way and clinch our 2nd title.... As Chai says... we have to believe in ourselves, have faith in our team mates and nothing will be impossible.....
Go Whiners...

Friendly Double Header 19/09/10
This day WE Fight Club negotiated 2 games at Marsiling Secondary, as a testament to character, fitness and ability to adapt to last minute encounters and surprises. And this conversation proved to be senseless at the end of the day.
Rixian : Which referee organised today's game?
Simon : D2d. The organiser told me our opponents are of Morning Glory's standard.
Rixian : You should have organised a easier game mah! Photo taking leh today!
Simon : Ohhhhhhhhh...
We had good attendance this day, most probably due to the fact everyone wants to get their pictures on the team photo. But we were missing Adrian, Chua, Fat, Zhenquan and Weixiong. Squad did their warm up and usual laughs while the usual shitters like Berbajang, Nigel, Seng and Rixian did their businesses. And just before the game we had our photo taking session and armband presentation, and also first XI photo, with Tianjun being captain for the day. Line up started with Asen in goal, with a backline of Tianjun, Simon, Jin and Daniel from right to left. Midfielders Jumain and Rixian with new nicknamed player Berbajang the Whiner's own ballerina on the left and Seng on the right. Up front was Xianxi and Zonghui. A strong bench on the sidelines consisting of Zhenqing, Nigel, Lewis, Saran and Taran twin towers and whitey new boots donner Chai. We begin the game well and aiming to keep possession and get our touches and passes around. First chance was created as Xianxi latched on a pass and lay the ball through for Zonghui for the 1 on 1 but his shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Opponents tried to threaten with some hard runs against our defence which came to nothing as the defence stood firm. Berbajang was in the mood for a show as he took the ball before the half way line on the left, cut into the centre and faked the entire defence to dribble past the naive highline for the 1 on 1 before dribble the ball past the keeper to put us at 1-0. A flurry of substitutions followed and 2 in particular combined when Chai sprung the offside trap to latch on a through ball from Rixian and kept his footing to draw the keeper out before laying the ball towards Lewis who slid the ball in to put us 2 up. Jumain was playing his passes well from deep and keeping the players in the game while Seng also had several attempts to run at the defence, drawing fouls in danger areas. Defence backline was peerless as Tianjun and Simon keep winning headers and challenges and Zhenqing kept that up when he came on. Jin was also covering well and clearing the lines well and Daniel as usual made easy work of playing the ball out of defence all the time. We went in 2-0 up at half time.
A flurry of substitutions in the 2nd half for the Whiners, including intimidating goalkeeper Saran and brother Taran who was welcomed back from injury to get his minutes since the start of the year. Nigel also went into the right flank in place of Seng while Utility man Zhenqing remain with the rest of the backline. While Xianxi went in with Chai upfront. 2nd half started with ball keeping and neat touches from the team and about 10 mins into the 2nd half we were leading 3-0. Quick free kick and quick thinking from Taran sent Chai through against a sleeping defence as he cuts inside from the right to bring the ball past the keeper for the 3rd goal. An ideal set piece by Berbajang gave Zonghui the 4th as he beat the offside trap and brought the ball down well and slot into the net and Zonghui returned the favour soon after with a early low cross as he spotted Berbajang running in from the left and he duly finished. The game ended 5-0 to the Fight Club.
We were then approached by 11am game opponents who looked a fanciful and fast young malay team for a match as their opponents didn't turn up, resulting a walkover but they still wanted to play so we all agreed and had our 2nd game. New team line up as a few players played out of position, like Chai and Rixian at left back and centre back. Zonghui took up the left midfield berth while Berbajang took up his favourite role up front with Zhenqing. Jin played as defensive midfield with Jumain while Simon, Tianjun and Seng remained in their positions with Asen. Berbajang continued where he left off as the former Gombak youngster showed his love and familiarity towards the Mikasa ball as he was sent through and slot perfectly for his day's combined hat trick. Malay youngsters tried to play their way into the game but was lacking of a final ball. But their persistence paid off as a cross from the right found a knee of a striker who despite pressure from Tianjun minus to connect with the ball awkwardly as it lofted pass Asen to put them at 1-1. Soon the Whiners took back the lead as Chai launched a cross into the area which made things difficult for the small goalkeeper and under pressure he dropped the ball for Nigel who rammed in from just in front of goal. Lewis and Jumain played ball keeping patiently and it was enjoyable to see that we are not rushing things, picking the right timing. The half ended 2-1. Start of 2nd half and fatigue sunk in as some players had to leave while others are injured or already too tired tired to carry on. But credit to Zonghui and Jin who changed in and out of their gear a staggering 3 times! This showcase 2 players whose heart wants to play but body doesn't. But they still did came in and put on a professional performance for the team. Berbajang's blighted his copybook as he committed a mistake by passing back to Asen and cost the Whiners a goal. 2-2 it stayed while opponents missed several chances to win the game due to poor finishing as the Whiners returned home tired after a double header.
Special thanks to Simon's brother Samuel who came and take photos for us! And also Nigel to get well soon!

The Golden Boot Award.... A tough Battle between Chai, Ke Jang and Zong Hui.....
Season Update
Following RX's Wonderful post on the Championship scenario, everyone was hyped up and eager to go out and smash some morning glories however it didn't happened as 25 July Marked Chloe's Entry into the World and Also the Whiner's First Defeat in the League.
A solitary Goal By Andrew was not enough to give the Whiners the titles when MG took the liberty to put 3 into our net.
But everything was history as we quickly move in to arrange a friendly at Dempsey road with guest Appearance from explosive Centre Back Jinquan. Guarding Asen at the post was with him was Zhen quan and a typical backline of Myself and Daniel Marshalled by a centre midfield pairing of Jumain and Chai. Left was played By rixian and right anchored by Seng. Ke Jang paired up with Xian Xi upfront.
Jinquan took the honours of getting his name on the scoresheet via a beautifully taken corner by rixian and he got his second goal as well through an elegantly set up corner by rixian. Xianxi bagged a brace as well showing his predatory instincts in the box. Fat and Zhen Qing then came on and shared the burden of the team in the huge pitch...
Following a Morale Booster win over a semmingly strong team, we went into the all important title winning match against Galactico Empire. And we were doubly glad that their Centre back turned up who himself is a Joke at our previous encounter. Nonetheless there were no room for complacency as Jin Put his name into the scoresheet 36 minutes into the match when he planted his header into the net to put us 1-0 up.
Ke Jang took the honours for a Goal of the Season Contender when he scooped the Ball up Bicycle Kick Style and with a bit of theatrics from opposition allowed the ball to go in and Chai Finished When his Left Leg Shot took a Deadly Dip. 3-0 was all we need to seal the title with no additional help from the other matches as Morning Glory Strolled past Inter.
We are technically the champions as we have 1 more game against Team Spirit and 1 final Encounter with Inter before we are officially crowned Champions but Team Spirit is As its name states... Spiritually present only... Unless during this period of the year it suddenly comes alive. We are numerically the champions. Another possible scenario of us not winning the title will be an 11 match brawl with our final opponent, Inter resulting in 11 Yellow cards or 5 Yellow cards.
The scenario was seemingly impossible but seeing some high profile players in the team with the Regular Card Collectors like Your Truly (Which Hasn't collected Any this Season. =)...) , Tough Tackler Nigel Who is insane at his tackles, Bison Chai who taunts, Tough Tackles, Argue with Referee etc etc...... And the latest addition to the Brawlers... Ke Jang who had some final Arguments in the last match... Too bad Taran was out for the season.... he would be another King Of fighters.....
Our latest Encounter with Kenneth's Team was a true Testament to the establishment of Whining 11 Fight Club.... Zong Ba with Xian xi spearheaded the Attack supported by Adrian and Rixian in the centre of the park. Right was lead by Chua and left Zhen Qing. Fat and i paired up in centre with TianJun on the right and daniel on the left.... Asen between the posts.
It only took awhile when our Penalty Kick training came into handy as Zongba scored the 1st goal of the game via a Penalty. A flurry of goals soon came pouring down as the Whiners showed no mercy to a messy team as they played the best football in recent years Barcelona Style...
In No Particular Order.... Rixian Bagged his Hat trick and Man Of the Match Award with 2 Smashing Shots and a Header and Turned Provider for Xianxi with Zongba taking the Honour of scoring the other goal which gave us 6 goals lead.
The match then went into an interesting twist shortly into second half when a simple ball out played by me was met by an unwanted challenge on Kenneth by chai and Kenneth went berserk dashing up to confront Chai which threw the game into an 11-man Brawl. The two captains + kenneth was taken off the pitch as the Whiners resume their game and 3 minutes into restarting the match.... Round 2 started outside and the match was called off....
What an end to the season and what a memorable day as Whining 11 Fight Club was officially established.....

Championship Scenario
The best thing that happened to me during work on monday was a sms from Lewis stating that Morning Glory were beaten 3-2 by Inter. But i wasn't over excited and keep went to double check everything myself, including the weekly review on the website, the table and result. Anyway the weekly review on the website is rubbish as it states it was Morning Glory's first loss and also they are still top on superior goal difference. But no they are not. So let me explain the whole championship scenario that i discussed with Lewis.
win draw lose scored conceded goal difference points
Currently we have 4 games left, 2 that we have a very high chance of winning which is against Galatico Empire and Team Spirit. The latter will most probably result in a walkover like previously while Galatico Empire is a team who will definitely beat. This leaves us with 2 tough games against Inter and Morning Glory. Our goal difference is catching up but maybe it won't come into play anymore. Morning Glory had gotten a red card against Inter and it was their 3rd so they will have one point deducted, which is not updated. But let's just see to what was given on the website till it is updated. Their current points tally will give them a maximum of 32 points(with 1 point not yet deducted) while we still got 4 games and 2 of it that we should win as i stated above which will give us the 32 points we need to seal the title. But of course let's not aim for that. We must aim to finish the season strongly and also use it as a chance to further improve our play and increase our fitness. Let's finish the season on a high. If there is no change in this weekend's fixture we can face it straight up, it's against Morning Glory and if we win we seal the title. So everyone please rest well and keep yourself in shape. Psychologically i think you guys should be motivated enough by looking at this scenario. We win we will go up to 29 points while Morning Glory remain at 23 points with a point to be deducted so let's not tempt fate and make it difficult for ourselves, let's just beat them. Are you up for it?
P.S. You can shout to yourself the answer to the last question, i might be able to hear it, through my heart and spirit.

Game 10 Match Report 18/07/10
Match 10 at Anderson Secondary against Galatico Empire proved to be a good run out as we emerged 5-0 victors. First game against them was postponed while we were leading 1-0 and while the conditions proved to be slightly wet and drizzling there was no chance of that happening again this time.
The team welcomed Saran back from his lay-off and it proved to be a crucial presence as Asen was unavailable for the game. He started in goal with Simon, Jin, Daniel, Yeechun forming up the backline. A new formation introduced by Chai worked like a treat for this game with two defensive midfielders in the form of Zhenquan and Adrian while the team was flanked by Kejang on the left and XiangSheng on the right. Chai was doubling his role as a support striker to Zonghui and also as an extra man back into centre mid. Sadly left on the bench was Zhenqing, Xianxi, Jumain, Nigel, ShiangJing and Rixian.
The team took time to adjust to the new formation but were soon on their way as Kejang got the ball as he drifted into the centre and flick the ball over the defence and loft it pass the onrushing goalkeeper for the opening goal, but not before taking a boot on the way. Opponents tried in vain to get back into the game but were often met with the defensive wall of the back 4 and also the commited midfielders who dropped back. Even when they managed to get past and put a shot in, it will seem soft enough for big bad Saran to pick it up and return it back deep into their half with those monsterous drop kicks. And on one occasion it provided an assist for Sheng as it was allowed to bounce and he nipped in front of the keeper to head home for the 2-0. Persistent play from the right by his substitute Zhenqing saw the ball delivered into the area as the defender handled the cross under pressure from Chai but play goes on as the loose ball breaks to Zonghui who tap it into the bottom corner. Xianxi was finding a new lease of life back in the forward line as he was hardworking and determined to make his mark in the game. He chased down Mr Loser Last Man and forced an own goal out of him to put us 4 up. Soon it was half time.
2nd half started with a slower pace and as the team tries to put some passing together with Jumain controlling proceedings. Opponents tried to attack more but still were always coming off worse each time and when they seem to finally put in a shot that seem destined for goal among the sea of players, Saran's strong hand caught the shot and did not even palm it over for a corner, such was the confidence of the keeper and also implanted into the backline. Kejang sadly went off injured with a sprain early on. Our counter attacks are proving to be threatening and one such occasion Chai latched on to a flick on from Xianxi and lob over the keeper into the far post for 5. More chances were wasted, notably from Rixian who did a Pedro and failed to spot his team mates and screwed up the shot. Nigel was proving lively on the right and also in his challenges as he almost did a Nigel de Jong. ShiangJing too proved to be solid in his defence with some sort of Nikola Zigic vs Philippe Lahm type of marking. The rest of the team did well too and seem commited for the cause though there is no doubt we can still be so much better. Go Whiners! Get the Div 2 title!
