Okay after 14 mattches into the game... there are a few things that have revolutionalised witthhin the whinning eleven....
1. We scored a total of 49 goals (Inclusive of this week 's goal)
2. We lost 3 balls in 14 matches.
3. There has been 2 hat tricks happened already.
4. We had tussles with 3 teams already.
5. We havent bought our jerseys yet haha....
Okay fair enough we will scout for the jersey next week okay??
Anyway this week again at Fuhua sec with 13 players all in all. Opponents are the first team that we played and their team probably played with us like 3-4 times?? Yah thats that much.
Anyway their keeper was pretty good but the breaklock was broken from a glorious shot from ke jang juggle once twice and wham... a beauty.... Way beyond the keeper could have received it.
2nd goal came through a nicely taken cross from Ta ren from the side that was met by lewis's chest which he diverted the ball nicely past the keeper to put us 2-0.
But the match wasnt a smooth one for there were a few idiots that could not take chai's supremacy on the pitch..... a couple of old man yet so childish and to mark chai is not a very good thing to do as one childish jabrony uncle realised so when he tried to track chai only to be smashed by chai's thunderous cross right in the face.
Ke jang sadly failed to put us further up by missing a penaty that was not his fault but rather a good save from the keeper.
Chai capitalised on a mistake from their defence by smashing the ball rocket speed into the net.
Unfortunately, lapses from the defence allowed them to score 2 goals however, it is sad that the defence was doing good but it was a sudden lapse of concentration allowed them to come back 2 goals...
However, lewis managed to lay the nail into their coffin by latching onto a nicely crafted pass by jumain splitting the defence into complete tatters and lewis finished it cooly...
What way to end the match that has a bunch of idiotic fools from opposing team that completely spoil the game...
Hopefully the next match we can expect to get some more matured opponents.

Match 13 + Weekly Report
After a very busy week doing and buried with work, i am finally home and settled down to write my review of the match that happened last week.
Last week was played in Fu hua secondary which inevitably became our homeground and unwilling to give up our unbeaten streak in Fu hua secondary we start the game with lots of fire and power.
It wasn't long before a well taken cross by Ke Jang was met by Zong hui to finish it off cooly past the keeper.
Our attack rained on our opponents in which they were unable to sustain the constant threat that was coming from Chai zonghui and Ke Jang. Neither can they even penetrate past our midfield of Jumain and the defence mustered by Zhenquan, Daniel and Jin who was playing superbly again.
But it was sad that they had to equalise through a failed clearance.
But it wasn't long before a great cross from Twelve allowed Chai to once again put us 2-1 up.
Zonghui collected a ball on the left and took an outside foot shot to scoop it elegantly past the keeper as we raced full speed to seeking our undefeated home form to i dunno how many...
And lastly, another good play down the fight from twelve to cross the ball in for zonghui to head the ball in to pick the ball home...
It was a stirling performance by the Whinning Eleven whu ram the opponents to tatters before they score another goal and attempt to pick up another fight again.

Currently we have scored a total of 45 goals in 13 matches... having a ratio of at least 3 goals per match.
It seems that our attack is not a problem.... Defence wise we are not that bad either we conceded about 15 goals throughout our matches and i think we are still okay....
Lets hope we keep up the good work and may we now try to search for our new jersey and very soon we will be going into some tournaments so please keep a watchout....

Match 11 & Match 12 @ Juying Sec and Fuhua Sec Respectively
Going into a decade of matches, we stepped into our first defeat away from our familiar Fuhua Sec. Juying secondary is a place totally out of the vicinity and took us a lot of effort to find our way into the pitch. The opponents are by anything lousy with their organised Team warmup and pro team management look and not forgetting they are all pure indian put us in a difficult mental state to start the game.
Our game started with us feeling the fatigue setting into our bodies, barely anyone of us could put on an extra gear. Defence started with Rixian and Daniel in the middle. Ta ren resumed position on the right with Jumain and Lewis in e middle. Twelve played on the left and Zong hui lead the attack with Chai.
The Whinners went 1-0 down through a corner kick header. And 2-0 after a shot from the opponent struck rixian and sent Ansen to his wrong direction.
2nd Half wasn't by any means any much improvement in luck for us as we struggled to find our feet. It only took them awhile to go 3-0 up through an unexpected lob past asen and it was only through a brillant shot by chai on his left foot volley that went in sweetly.
Zhenqing made it 3-2 through a converted corner kick and we started to find the energy in our body. It seems that zhen qing is able to bring the spirits of the team up with his enthuness, and we began hunting desperately for our 3rd goal to equalise. Sadly, luck wasn't on our side as we failed to have a consecutive unbeaten run of 11 games as tragedy struck our team when opponent finished off the game with a 4-2 victory over the whinning 11.
Like what i always say... We will need a defeat to find that we are not so strong afterall...Yes we may have reached a certain level of depth in team but the whole team cannot stop seeking for improvement as we must always aim to play better.
As it shows, the whinning 11 stormed to a better performance in their following Match 12 at Fuhua Secondary School a place we call our Homeground that we have slammed in 23 goals in 5 matches. a ration of 4 goals per match.
This match though is a familiar view a recent opponent that we have encountered and defeated them. This time round it was deja vu again as we rained our attacks on them neglecting any involvment our defence and our keeper. However the few instances that our Defence was required to muster up a strong front, Jin and Ah fat clearly match any oncoming threat from the opponent. Arguably their strongest player, the number 17 posed a strong threat but Jin totally kept him out of the game and it was through a cannon shot from Rixian that ruptured the goal post send the keeper into flurry and fumbled the ball into the onrushing Zonghui.
We started off the 2nd half with one fluent attack from simon sweeping the ball in cleared out to be received by rixian who chipped the ball over and by some ways or another returning back t rixian, Rixian laid it nicely to jumain who's laser guided pass found Ta ren on the right and Ta ren swiftly rolled the ball nicely into the path of Zonghui who grabbed his second goal of the match putting us 2-0 up.
Opponents clearly pissed off over their consecutive defeats resorted to dirty tackles and unsportsmanship tackles taunting our players, belittling of all our players Chai about him being able to use only his left foot and giving nonsensical tackles to our players. The referee obviously unable to manage the game left the game to flow by itself and minutes into the second half their number 8 a growing resemblance to a wild boar got into a face off with chai. Within minutes, Chai silenced him with a vicious right foot into the net.
The game grew ugly as Number 8 and Ah fat and Daniel had a minor square off which is a testament to their unsportsmanship and their failure to accept that their team depth is of much lower capability then us. However, it has got to be Ta ren to be the most funny comment by calling their poor guy Fat Pig in chinese... Which is quite funny...
Although we clearly are the distinct winners something is lacking from the team which is the aggression and the fire. Somehow or another or was it me i find that we lack a little bit of fire without Zhenqing because he is usually the enthusiastic guy who would shout talk and rant. Our team must maintain our harmony but lets not let down our fire or passion and have more aggression !!
We are good though.... so i think its good time we think about what numbers will we be donning soon as we are propelling into a state we need to get our own jerseys....
See you lads next match.

Match 10 @ Fuhua Secondary 6-0 Trouncing
If by any chance that i mislead you to believe that we are being defeated that is where you are wrong because we are still undefeated. This week we maintained our undefeated spree by lashing out a fierce display of our capabilities.
My apologies for putting in a field report after so long because i am perpetually occupied the whole week.
On a day i celebrated my 26th year birthday, the team strutted their stuff on the pitch poor opponent.
Opponent disappointingly turned up with only barely 9 players clearing showing that they are not interested in which 2 of our players zhen qing and Ta Ren had to be loaned to the opposition.
The Whinning 11 put in their first goal through Zong hui by taking a neat finish with his left leg if i am not wrong. Correct me if i am wrong dude. Clearly the 2 most threatening player are Ta ren and zhen qing on the oppposition. A pretty uneventful 1st Half.
2nd half we had our 2 attached players back into the team which is a clean string of a whole barrage of attacks. Ta ren back on the right flank with probing attack down the flanks .Tian Jun played an exceptionally superb game by dominating the midfield with his precise positioning and complement perfectly with jumain who controls the midfield with his compose play. Rixian came on in the second half to add firepower to the attack. Defence is the regular 4 of Zhenquan daniel jin and simon in front of Ansen. Zhenqing took up centre midfield to help us with the ball winning.
Zhonghui and Chai steered the attack in front with lewis. And the trouncing commenced.
2nd goal came when chai brought the ball into the penalty box did some dribbles and laid the ball for zhenqing to put the ball into the net.
3rd goal was scored by who else.... Our talismanic captain Chai who put it pass the keeper with ease. Rixian took up the fourth goalscorer slot by smashing a bouncing ball into the bottom left of the net.
Jumain popped up to score the 5th goal and finally closing the demolition with a right foot shot outside penalty box for the sixth.
A supreme performance by the whinning eleven.... a great present for the birthday boy and a glorious future for us in this industry haha....
We have been playing great football in terms of team work and understanding. This is down to the understanding we have and the respect we have for each of our players. Unlike the opposition who shouted at their own team mates.... this is something we will not condone. Football is competitive and we all want to win but we have to win as a team. No one is bigger than the team. We can afford to lose our players but we cannot lose the faith the players have for the team. That is harmony within the team will keep the spirit living... Lets all play good football in good harmony.... i think that sounds allright...
See you guys for the next match at Juying sec.

Match 09: 220309 @ Fu Hua Secondary School
Finally back in front of the desk with some available bandwidth to write about our performance just less than 24 hours ago. My apologies for the lack of updating in our blogsite with reports and pictures. i brought my camera down every match but i forgot about taking photos always and at the same time work piled up during this period and coupled with my Bangkok trip recently, it took me awhile to adjust back to management of the team. Well it went smooth as well for my other commrades that has helped me with much of the organising and writing of the report.
Chai aka Sea Monkey for the writing of match updates and our tatical master.
Rixian for also helping me up with match reports and the calling up of players when the team is having a shortage of players.
Lewis for helping us buy the board first but will be reimbursed soon.
Match @ Fu Hua Sec
Following the epic finale that took place last week. We went into an 11am match skeptical of the weather that will torment our stamina. But with the players that were present and the outlook of the opponents. We are quite keen to give them a trouncing.
Some new addition to the team (My apologies if i may have spelt your name wrongly):
Ta Ren
Sa Ren
Keng tong
Nezal
Rixian took a break to put on a different colour of the jersey and provided the sideline tactics as the manager.
Chai as usual with captained the team with his flamboyant performance week-in-week out.
Youngster Ansen is our man between the post.
Zhen Quan and Ah fat paired up to be the heart of defence. Tian jun and simon each on the left and right back position respectively.
Chai slotted in the left and New Signing Ta Ren on the right flank holsted by the stable and calm jumain in the centre with lewis deployed alongside him while Xian xi Ke jang lead the team in attack.
The match started off with some physical challenges from opponent as they prove their point that they are not as bad as we thought they are as they gave us some tough moments. Their number 10 is a whole lump of stone as he constantly attempts to barrage his way through. Number 17 strung most of their passes with his good skills and physical demand. However it was the Red Whinning 11 that started the first flourish of attack that was converted into goal when Xianxi tried to put the ball past the keeper only for the keeper to parry it onto the legs of lewis to put us 1-0 up.
Ta ren was at many times bringing the attack to a different level with his physical approach and his very team orientated play style. Giving the Whinners a few good chance. Ke jang as usual, teasing the opponents making them look foolish when they try but to no avail to win his ball.
Chai trying very hard to win balls and strung the attacks. Defence was robust with the pacy Zhen Quan and the domineering size of Ah fat. Tian Jun was clean in his tackles and clearance also.... Great play from the defence.
Sadly before halftime, our opponents equalised with a stunning shot from outside penalty box 30m out.
We went into the 2nd half with a change in formation with Zhenqing doing the dirty work at the centre of the park combined with lewis. Jumain sat in defence with Zhen quan simon and nezal. Rixian also came on to the pitch to provide us with extra attacking firepower. Rixian's insertion into the team also meant an additional avenue to attack and combined with chai, the two of them switched flanks, long pass, power shots , through passess the opponents into tatters.
The opponents start to lose their composure as we seek for our goal as Xianxi tries very hard to put the ball into the net only to be matched by the keeper's great goalkeeping instincts. The deadlock was broken when the ball was fed back to Zhenqing after a corner kick only for Zhenqing to take the ball and lay it to simon who was waiting for the chance to hit the ball from 40 metres away and took a deadly dip as the goalkeeper failed to touch the ball.
The team then saw a technical break in the midst of the game as the ball floated beyond the pitch and into the construction site.
When the game started again, Ta ren and Sa ren came on into the pitch. Sa Ren between the Posts showed our Junior Keeper Ansen some learning tips on how to be a perfect keeper of composure and calmness.
After some time, it was good-ole-Paul popping out again for the team, who else but Ah Chai took the on bounching ball, brought it pass the opponent and doing his trademark finishing. Clean, sleek and effective. Thats our Chai once again putting in a 5 star display for the team in back to back matches bringing his goal tally to double digits now.
It was another top notch performance by the Whinning 11, We have not tasted defeat yet but i hope that we can constantly play football at our highest level, Chai and Rixian have both been inspirational on and off the pitch assisting me with the administrative work and putting in 5 star performances on the pitch also. Credit must also be given to players like Zhen qing and Jin who travel down from the other part of the country to play for the team. Tian Jun, Zhenquan, Ansen , Jumain , Daniel, Lewis and Xianxi for being always there for the team. Our new players, Kejang, ta ren, Sa Ren for being bale to join us (Forgive me if i may have miss out a few guys). I know there are times where work commitment comes in and you are not able to turn up but its okay.... I have to work at times also so i understand. But i would really like to say thank you to all the players that have been playing so far....you have really made the team happen.
With that, a very great thank you...No this is not the farewell speech. This is just only the beginning of the Whinning 11 (Got any better names?)

I know there are times where work commitment comes in and you are not able to turn up but its okay.... I have to work at times also so i understand. But i would really like to say thank you to all the players that have been playing so far....you have really made the team happen.
With that, a very great thank you...No this is not the farewell speech. This is just only the beginning of the Whinning 11 (Got any better names?)

Match 08 Review : 150309 @ Tanglin Sec Sch
Hi ppl, i m ur new blog writer Sea Monkey(sounds nicer), helping out our benevolent Bao Kar Liao, Simon this week. We took a week break for Simon's Thailand trip and we are back in business.
1st 11am game for us poses a new challenge to our stamina. Rendezvous timing : 10.30am. Upon arrival at 10.45am, we see poor Twelve sitting alone by himself. No one was there for warm up. Applause for him for his effort. N the rest, please be punctual next time hor.... Early arrival for kicking around will aid u to improve your match performance. Especially if we are playing at 11 am.
We welcomed Ah Fat back to the team after a couple weeks of MIA due to work commitment. Plus Anson, playing a second game for us in goal. Zhen Qing returning and Ke Jang together with 2 friends. (Sorry, forgot your name, Simon pls fill in )
The pitch looks bumpy with lots of potholes and very lengthy. So we decided to play a more packed midfield and to attack from the center instead of the wings. N we definitely look more professional with our newly purchased UMBRO tactics board. However, once the whistle is blown, we were bombarded with ferocious muscling, shoving and tackles from the opponents. For the first 15 mins, we could hardly breathe. The whole midfield was dominated by the Great "No.14 " who vows to kill and tear anyone in his way. It was only until when Zonghui passes a through ball to Chai, and he broke the offside trap to see his shot tip over the bar, then we see signs of a possible match with the opponents.
However, shortly after, the opponents switched their tactics to long ball, and their "Huang Zhong Yao " look alike striker broke our offside trap and shot through a tight angle to put their side 1 nil up. There were signs of bias from the referee as a few more offsides were not caught with them still terrorising our defense.
We had a brilliant chance after which Xianxi's shot was parried away by their keeper and Zonghui's follow up was met by a handball block from the opponents defense. The referee was no where near and as usual, nothing goes our way.
After that, we were getting demoralised min by min. With them breaking offside trap again twice and scoring with ease. Eyebrows were raised once again wondering if the referee is bias. Some started thinking if we shared the same fate as Man u being demolished by Pool 4-1 the night before, and move to our first defeat of the season. The midfielders, Lewis, Rixian, Chai and Twelve worked very hard chasing after brilliant passes by the opponents. Our defence Jin, Ah fatt, Zhenqing and Simon put up a few good defending, otherwise, the scoreline could have been uncountable.
Finally the half time whistle goes, Simon as usual is cheering for the team not to demoralise. Our team needs a defeat to let us learn and show our true character. So far its been a fantasy, with 4 wins and 3 draws. N this is the worst we have suffered. 3 nil at half time. But soon after, everyone gets inspired by Simon and starts to encourage each other to finish of the game with pride.
The 2nd half started. The opponents being a bit complacent, rested a few of their key players. There are signs of more unity for our team, switching back to our best 4-4-2 formation. With ZhenQing and Rixian in the middle. The team started to string a few good passes around and put on more pressure on the opponents. Crosses came in, with Zong hui heading a bottom corner ball to be match by a equally good keeping from the opponent. More ball winning in the center of the field for the team by ZhenQing and Rixian. Yet the incredible "14" still able to muscle his way and put in a few good passes for the opponents.
It was about 65 min when a header from the mid field came to about just outside the box, Chai took a quick tricky outside foot shot and the ball sneaks narrowly into the far left of the keeper
with him standing rooted. Signs of relief from the team, at least we can pull one back.
A good pass from Rixian releases ZhenQing down the right wing and Zhen Qing forces their clumsy defender to bring him down for a penalty. He wanted to take the penalty himself only to be stopped by Chai who believes a player should never take his own earned penalty. In the end, no one else stood up to take and Chai took it reluctantly. A shot right to the center of the goal looks weak, but luckily a deflection through the keeper's legs keep our hopes alive. 3-2!!!!
With morale raising, we took control of the game after. We hit them with waves n waves of attacks. Forcing their no16 to go berserk and got more warnings from the referee. And forcing the opponents to bring their key players back. N the moment arrives, Jin running up from the defence, ( he has scored from a corner before) A corner for our team came in from the left wing, which was headed clear by their defence. But Rixian was at the right spot at the right time, cooly drill a low shot into the bottom corner with everyone else rooted to the ground watching the masterpiece. 3-3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A world class comeback.
The rest of the game was evenly matched. With the opponents missing a world class open goal with our keeper beaten. No 14 was so devestated that he blasted the ball over the fence to end the game. Congrats Whinning 11 for the unbeaten record!!!!!!!

Match 07 Review : 010309 @ Fuhua Secondary School
A rainy Saturday night rose a few doubts on whether the match could be played but all was well on sunday when the refree msg us that the match will go on. With a heavy heart of getting all wet and dirty , we departed for our match.
To our surprise it far surpasses our expected outcome as the pitch look squeaky clean following a downpour less than 8 hours ago. Our opponents are in light blue and they look a formidable team to beat. Due to our spate of good form in the last few matches, we don't get startled by our opponents.
This week we saw some new players plying their trade with us. Namely our new goalkeeper Anson...I am not sure of your name brother if i get it wrong please let me know. Our new Centre Midfielder Chris.... And a familiar face from our previous team....Ke Jang or usually people call him Ka Zhua. And a friend of Twelve, big sized forward Kai Hui.
The match started with new signing Anson between the posts. Defence was made up of Simon and an unfamiliar combination of Jumain and Rixian as the vanguard of the defence. Left back was taken up by tian jun. Chris and Lewis in the heart of midfield with chai on the left and right midfield was Taken up by Kejang. Striker was a pairing of Xian xi and Kai hui.
The match started and it was the same old story with Chai opening up the accounts again pushing his goal tally to "I haven't count how many". This time round receving the ball on the left and wham it pass the keeper making it his trademark finishing. Pure Class. Ke jang provided a different dimension to the play when deployed on the right. Dragging opponents to him and releasing the ball to his teammates. Lewis was enjoying his run out on the pitch as he felt much more comfortable with the players around him. Chris is winning the balls in midfield and kejang and Chai feeding him the balls he need. Rixian and Jumain provided the composed and calm security at the backline so much that there was totally no threat from the opponents at all. Xianxi got a few good chance but sadly missing a few sitters. Lewis also... A few good chance but failed to convert it. But its okay we can train on this.
Ke Jang played to his very best opening the play and provided much attacking options for the team.... By far one of the critical player of the day.... but sadly due to an overnight boozing session he was punctured before halftime. Daniel replaced him taking up the role at the back pairing with cool calm jumain. Rixian was sent to the right flank. With the midfield maestro pair of Chai and Rixian leading the attacks on the flanks, the opponents finding hard to pin down either of them. With efforts focus on the two dangerous wingers... lewis pushing the defence to sit back...an unlikely jumain manage to bring the ball high enough but he was friendly enough not to fire it in.
The opponents obviously staring hard at death decided to kill off our right back(simon) by inserting a female left winger into the squad. With her deployment in the squad, Simon was unable to unleash his malicious crunching tackle as it would spell broken legs. He became a bit reserved. However, it seems that she is not as bad as she looks as she managed to release a few "deadly" ball only to be smothered by daniel with ease. Daniel playing better and better with each match neutralize all attacks with a few simple twist and turn exhanging passess with jumain, simon and tian jun making the whole opponent's attack in-existent. It was obviously a good match with lots of passing space and clean passing.
2nd half onwards it became chai's game....Again.... This time round another sheer excellent class from him when he unleash a first time volley to an oncoming ball that rocketed pass the keeper at extreme velocity. opponents could do nothing but clap and be dazzled by such finishing. Rixian, Lewis and chai pulled all the strings in midfield and Chris winning virtually everything. Even if anything goes beyond midfield....Jumain and Daniel would just kill off any possible chance they might have. However, 1 such counter attack allowed them to pull one back when emile heskey brush daniel aside to score 1 for them. Anson could do nothing although credit to be given to him for being decisive enough to punch the danger balls away.
It was towards the final whistle when the opponents seems to be in search for the equaliser when chai took the ball on the outside penalty box and shot it with such power it was beyond the reach of the keeper. Unstoppable.
Chai securred the first hat trick of the team. I think everyone should not have any violent objections of him winning the inaugral Player of the Month. (please come to my house to collect your free gift for player of the month)

simon

Match 06 Review : 220208 @ Queensway Secondary
Dull morning with a slight damp on the pitch. Pre-match hype was all about who's going to be goalkeeper as we are going through this part of crisis that will eventually make our team stronger in every aspect. After much discussion and consideration we had Tianjun in goal for the game and credit to him that he was rarely threaten and pretty stable.
Pitch was small and tight with little width so the battle was scrappy and full of 50-50 challenges. Game started with line-up of tianjun in goal, back 4 of simon, jin, daniel, zhenqing, while midfield comprising of jumain, andrew, twelve, lewis and rixian with zonghui upfront alone.
We didn't really stamp our authority but obviously more threatening than opponents, whom we were playing for the 2nd time. Attacks were launched and Zonghui was more than a threaten with his physical presence and clever using of his body and neat touches to start spinning around the defenders. Held his line comfortably upfront and defending from there on. Lots of long balls were played and chances wasted. We took the lead early with just the 2nd corner of our game with Twelve delivering it to Zonghui who was unmarked to place a header to the opposite corner. Jumain and Andrew were both winning challenges and with Jumain protecting the back 4 and giving a calm influence and smart distributions, our play was a notch above opponents. Defence snuffed out any threats before they were there and the attack was mostly through the middle. Lewis and Twelve worked hard but it was difficult to find any space. Our lead extended when another pass was aimed towards Zonghui and he tried to get past the defenders but failed, the loose ball came out and Rixian took a shot from just outside the area and the ball went in. Soon after opponents got halved the deficit with a goal against the run of play. A corner from the right came in and Twelve inevitably diverted the ball into the net with the ball coming towards him. But we extended the lead not long after as Rixian took a quick but long throw in to Andrew who volleyed it first time into the bottom right hand corner a la da certain Ah Paul from Manchested United. Andrew put himself into club folklore by slotting in a 2nd after a good one-two with Zonghui to put the team 4-1 up. We failed to score in the 2nd half and play was getting messy as Jumain left the pitch with a particle in the eye. Midfielders never track back as much but our defence held its own against the counter attacks. We were not without our chances though with Zhenqing hitting the crossbar with a tonjoul from outside the area while Andrew continue to make pot shots on goal, looking for his hat-trick that seemingly never will come. Referee didn't blew for a foul on Jin as the striker dragged him down and Daniel tracked back but failed to stop the opponents proper but only succeeded in ramming the ball across goal into the net. The game finally ended with Andrew whacking over a 2nd ball with some backlift into the construction site.
The result was never really in doubt as we ran out deserved winners but a lot of our play left much to be desired. There are different issues for each player to face himself and hopefully we will see a better you next sunday. Credit to defence, especially trio of Simon, Jin and Daniel for putting in a good shift as usual. Special mention goes to Tianjun and Zhenqing for their versatility, both whom never complain about putting themselves into different positions. Jumain and Andrew was making their mark in the middle but of course not skying the ball into the construction site. Rest of the team was alright too but the best is yet to come i believe so meanwhile look after yourselves and build up some stamina for the coming game at Fuhua Secondary this coming sunday.
Day rounded up with lunch nearby but not too glamourous was the stupid Fatimah giving us some trouble. Damn bitch! See you guys next sunday!

Match 05 Review :150209 West Wood Secondary School
My apologies to everyone for the Review to be up only so late as i was really busy with work.
Anyway The review for the match at Westwood secondary. Upon reaching the pitch we were shocked to see the players of our opponents in the first match. It was the Grey Jersey Veteran Team. Well it is okay for us to play them again and see how much we have progressed.
At the sidelines was our charismatic playmaker Chai, unable to join the team but was there to give the team guidance. Ah fat is out for 2 months with heavy work commitment and that is where our team needs to hunt for a goalkeeper in place of ah fat.
Zhen qing returns to the squad after being out for a week. Team also see the return of Ah Seng and Xianxi.
Defence was marshalled by the familiar 3 of Simon, Daniel and Jin. Included in the line of defence was ZhenQing.
Twelve and Seng were deployed at the flanks and Jumain and lewis were positioned in the central of the park. Rixian leaded the attack sitting behind Xianxi.
The veterans were solid and robust in their play. Lacking of our inspirational player, we took a while to stabilise ourselves with rixian constantly penetrating the opponent's defence. The opponent's attack was neutralised by the firm defence of Jin and Daniel who are as stable as ever. But it was the opponent who drew first blood when they fired a freekick in which was beyond the reach of our keeper.
We returned the favour quite soon when rixian took the corner kick. Jin charged up and took a left foot shot off the on dropping ball past the keeper. True Class that will put Nemanja Vidic to shame.
The game took a stale taste to it with a few prominent shots from Seng who took a beautiful volley that scale pass the goal post and a few attempts from Xianxi. Jumain was confident and compose in the centre of the park that started a few attempts to attack. Lewis was a bit out of position at times and tried hard to adapt to the play and became better with more passing out to the flanks and releasing the strikers.
Some changes were made at the second half with Zhen qing pairing up Xianxi in attack. Rixian Dropped deep in the midfield with Jumain. TianJun filled up left back. And he did a good job by making sure that attacks down the left was shoved off as he defended well.
Very soon into the second half some scramble in attack saw zhen qing pounded the ball into the net. He reminds me of carlos tevez running berserkly around the pitch take the ball wham.... Madness but crucial to the team.
We went 3-1 up after xianxi took the ball and shot it at the keeper and clearance of the ball was not done quick and twelve slotted the ball into the net.
We were not complacent but the opponent pulled one more back bringing the score to 3-2 with a elegantly taken shot outside the penalty box.
It was a good game and after the game a few of us sat down to talk through the tactics and worked something out for the team. This week hopefully we will do much better than last week.
Guys remember we are strong...but we need to combine everyone's effort and make us formidable.
with regards,
your co-ordinator

It was a good game and after the game a few of us sat down to talk through the tactics and worked something out for the team. This week hopefully we will do much better than last week.
Guys remember we are strong...but we need to combine everyone's effort and make us formidable.

Match 04: Review 080209 @ Boon Lay Secondary
After 2 weeks of layoff from professional football the team gathers once again for their much anticipated friendly. The weather was streaking hot and the bodies lethargic due to the excessive boozing in the new year. Fico was good but the boozing was intensive to the extend that lifting our legs for a kick was a chore.
Here are the players who grace the match. A huge thanks to all who have turned up and also thanks to those who Aeroplane us...
A small note......No offence to anybody or anyone but i think Every player is precious to us and we will only call sufficient amount of players so everyone gets a considerable amount of time on the pitch so i hope everyone respects the system and reciprocate by being responsible to notify me earlier (1 day in advance) if you are unable to turn up for the game. Especially when you have agreed to play and due to certain reasons not being able to play please notify me.....
The lack of players would result in over exhausting our other players and i think it is not fair to the other players. I am not out to pin point anyone or anybody but just serves as a reminder in future. It also wun put me in a situation that last minute need to activate players to come or whatsoever.
Let me just showcase to everyone the pillars of the team....
Ah Fat.
( Definitely always there for the team...spiritually and in between the posts. When we have a call for him to grace the pitch he will always be ready to do so.)
Daniel
( Our energizer bunny...committed...dedicated...passionate...enthusiastic...Role Model of the team)
Chai
(was on the verge of not featuring in the latest match but somehow he turned up and provided a match winner performance.... Follows and supported the team with all his might.)
And not forgetting the remainder warriors who battled to earn the hard earned 2-2 draw on 080209.
Jin
Zhengquan
Rixian
Twelve
Seng
Lewis

Kaweng
Rixian's friend (Sorry i didn't get your name)
Match Review
Our first match encoutering Malay who actually look like they pack quite a punch. Was given the offset of +3.5.
Ah fat was once again deployed to guard the posts... Jin paired up with Daniel with Kaweng on the left and Simon on the Right. Lewis on the right midfield 12 on the other flank of the field and Rixian and Chai stomped the midfield. Seng paired up with Zong hui on top.
Match started with us going positively with us approaching positively at the opponents.
However due to the lack in match fitness and communication... Our threat of the day... Big Bad Emile Heskey who was virtually, literally "Unknockable" placed his first goal into the net although kaweng did his best to nudge him aside....They had only 1 shot and it had to go in....
On the other end..Chai and Rixian are pounding the balls towards the keeper hard and fast. Chai is once again putting in a 5 star performance pulling the strings with Rixian who was instrumental in setting up the first goal. A delicate chip from Rixian met by Chai who took it down nicely and wham.... 1-1...
Defence was jittery and communication was down.... Emile Heskey again was barraging his way into defence...Simon slided knocked and bump him but he wouldn't budge and daniel and simon went for a double team but he just shove them aside and went clear towards the keeper and put the team 2-1 up before half time....
Knowing how the Opponents operate, We had a better picture on how to lock them out of their play....with emile Heskey deprived of balls their attacking option was reduced.... Zonghui is intensifying his efforts to win the ball running himself dry grabbing at every chance to win the ball back.... All the balls towards midfield had only 2 possible location.... Rixian head or Chai Head as the two of them stomp their authority in centre mid...Defence was perpetually stagnant...With ever stable Jin sweeping away ever possible threat and daniel fast as anything winning all the balls with his pace and speed...
Twelve had a few good opportunity to sweep in a few balls but was not met by anybody...Seng also had a decent attempt that went slightly wide....Rixian at the heart of another attack smash the ball hard towards the keeper and the keeper only could parry it to the feet of lewis who slotted the ball onto the feet of the opponent who tuck the ball into the net. And the match ended soon.
A good performance for everyone but fitness level for everyone needs to be elevated and maybe more play with each other will reap in better understanding between everyone.
Good start after the new year and may our new game get a better result.
No offence to anybody on the earlier comment and i just hope the best for the team.

simon

Match 03 - Match Review : 180109 8 Wonders @ Fuhua Sec.
I was in my new hush puppies underwear, meeting Jeremey and Simon to go for our battle today, but not before stopping by to get some "light" breakfast which turned out to be bacon and sausage. Drinks as well. Got to the field and there was almost everybody, changing up and warming up. Players all start to come in and the team gathered, only person who was late is the referee but everyone was still eager to go. First 11 singled out, everyone got a role to play and time to rest so off we go.
We took a 2-0 lead early on, with goals from Xianxi and James. The first was a diagonal pass from James to Xianxi and he controlled the ball and took his chance well. 1-0 up! And the 2nd was a defensive error from their so called "star player" Weixiong, who took a goal kick but the ball was headed back and he kept James onside to slot in the 2nd. Weixiong started to realise he can't lead the defence on his own so he changed his position playing on the right midfield just dropping off the strikers. He did make a impact as he pulled one back for his team with an tight angle unstoppable shot. Not your fault kay Ah Fat? I think no one will save that shot. And half chances continue to come by as some interplay lead to Ah Chai and me taking pot shots at the other end. The half ended as we regained the 2 goal cushion when James supplied a delicious through ball for Xianxi to finish, although the keeper took at touch but the ball still went in, agonisingly.
First half round up was encouraging, Daniel and Jin absolutely solid, taking out everything that were thrown at them, with interceptions, tackles, clearances. One occasion was that the goal was empty but out of nowhere Jin came sliding in to clear the shot. Amazingly spotting the danger and anticipating it before it was there. Zhenqing was very lively and he reminds me of Ah Ray of my previous team, ranting and shouting at everything he could but he pointed out plays that we should make right, like challenging for the loose balls and 50-50s. And he was our best weapon for attack in the first half with his clearances. Speaks volume how flat things are in attack.
2nd half start with my contact lens being problematic turned out to be a masterstroke. With Simon continuing at right-back we had Tianjun to defensive midfield which added even more bite to our defensive display. He was in the thick of the challenges, I could only think of him as Rambo in the Grass. Simon was getting a lot of freedom as he made rampaging runs down from the defensive line to the opposite penalty area. One such foray produce a great chance but he fumbled his first touch. As he tracked back the ball came to him again and call it lucky or coincidental, his lofted pass cleared the path for James who was onside and made the run to make a thumping finish. 4-1 then but it was soon 4-2, when Ah Fat was caught napping with his relaxation time under the sun when Weixiong went for goal straight from kickoff. Soon after another run from deep saw Simon getting to the end of Zonghui's cross and as he wheeled away in celebration with the goal not yet scored, Ah Chai came sliding in to make sure of the finish. Surely too soft finish from the man but credit to him he came up there from right back. While Ah Chai got what he deserved as he was toiling away in midfield, pulling the strings and putting a good shift in the challenges. Of course his face seems foul and pissed but because he is serious. I can't remember the 6th and 7th goals order but goalscorers are Zhenqing and Zonghui. Both seem identical, put through and Zonghui was a polished finish while Zhenqing's was sort of a luck ricochet but still a goal nevertheless. Obviously hungry was Zonghui as he chased down several balls, making many passes look good and never giving up. Jin had another good block from a cutback as we endured some attacks with our makeshift defence. Twelve rounded up the scoring from Zhenqing's pass down the left and he cut inside to strike a shot into the near post. Opponents got a consolation again as who else but Weixiong provided a pass to Lebron James to slot in the finish. The game ended with several shuffling of positions and players and the last goal is just complacency. We will do well to prevent such defensive lapses.
Rounding up, i believe this was a good morale booster but we should not be satisfied by the result as i know we can even perform better. There are still room for much improvement and different players have got different factors to face. A few examples were brought up during the end match review by Ah Chai like our attack should be more versatile and flexible. And our problems at the back if Jin, Daniel, Ah Fat are not around. And i also think we should have something like first-aid on stand by because you never know how serious things can get. We will look into all these issues when we have the funds. Suggestion for different players on what to do for themselves will be like for Lewis, get a pair of boots and contact lens. Tianjun needs boots too. Jeremey to get back fitness and touches. Yeah i know my problem too shhhh. Thanks everyone for the good game today and seriously i feel like Manchester United in 2003 when they play Sporting Lisbon in a friendly and all the players ask Uncle Fergie to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, the rest you all know is history but problem is we don't have a Uncle Fergie so no matter how everyone ask to sign Weixiong we can't!
Thanks everyone for coming and playing. Thanks Zhenqing for his craps. And also his efforts with Jin to come from so far to join us in the match. Spirited and shining example. Latest news are after Chinese New Year we will have jersey making. I vote for Barcelona's away jersey colour, the bright lime-yellowish green. Please give your suggestions to Simon too. See you all soon!

Match 02 - Match Review : 040109 at Turf City
It was a difficult weekend with most of the players unable to play for the team. Rixian has to work and Twelve and Ah bee are both injured and Seng is on overseas. Therefore we had a very different squad compared to last week. Nonetheless this is the amount of people who turned up today. Thanks to those who appeared today and for all who made the effort to gave their best for the club.

Yes we had only twelve players mean to say that we have only 1 substitute.
When we reached the pitch we were very shock to see the appearance of our opponent. They were indians who are tall and lanky and rigid. And they absolutely looked a pack of speed and skills. They were the typical bunch of people whom u will think that their slowest player is fastest than ur team's fastest player. That is quite a scary thought and that really dampened our morale and mood. Anythin not more than 4 goals will be a victory for us therefore we go out with a mindset of just enoying the game.
Match Review
The match started with the first 5-10 minutes being very jittery as the team failed to string anything decent together. They were down by the sheer physical appearance of the opponent that they are unable to do their thing.
However, we all start to realise that they are not strong enough. Lewis fitted into the left with Heng Swee is a combination of agility and flair with lewis mustering much of the ball and troubling them with his nifty footwork. Makeshit player Zhen qing play centre back with ever energizing Daniel at the back with both having the attribute of godly energy level. However there were moments u see Zhen Qing being way in front of the whole team leading the attack when he should be defending however he made it up with his drive and force which is very important to the team. Daniel was winning all the balls and none of the defenders can go pass him as he timed his tackles with precision. Easily one of the best players of the team with him sitting in the heart of defence, Ah fat had virtually nothing to do the whole 1st half.
We had a few good chance and finally in the 15th minute we capitalised on the mistakes they committed...simon threaded a 1 - 2 pass with chai as chai released simon to race down to collect the ball and blast it past the keeper into the roof of the goal post.
Opponent is stunned and the crowd stood up in disbelief.
Slowly we begin to dominate the game and we seem to have the game in hand but opponent simply had just one chance and that chance they converted it. It was a shock to us but we had to recover and continued playing our game.
Zhen Qing and Daniel with Ka weng and Heng Swee was ushering the defence with Tian Jun as the Defence Midfielder who is meant to disrupt their play is working like a charm as Tian Jun is winning lots of ball and disrupting the fluency of the Opponent's gameplay.
Chai, Simon and Lewis on the other hand is the leading pack for the attacks and occassionally Zhen Qing would race up and join in the attack. To the dismay of kaweng and daniel as they shouted for him to come back....
Xianxi is quite neutralised by the excellent performance of the opposition's experienced defender as he struggled to get the ball at times but there were a few good chances he created a stir in the defence with his nimble movement.
Zong hui on the left strike force proved a handful for the opposition even though he had a very long layoff. Made a few threatening shots but is very sad that it didn't went in.
Hengswee became injured and Jumain came on for Heng Swee. Jumain proved a critical player in today's setup as he anchored the midfield with his excellent first touch and precise passing. He has proven to be a very crucial player and will be featured more for future games as he can bring the team into another dimension of the game.
Towards the end all of the players are all dried and tired. But there were some excellent chances as the corners soaring in are all converted into threatening attempts as the keeper had to pull of some reflex saves to keep the score to 1-1.
In the end the match ended off in a 1-1 draw.
A good result for the team whom we expect to face a punishing defeat by the tall and lanky indians.
However they are not as strong as we thought they are. Or is it that we have become stronger?

Yes we had only twelve players mean to say that we have only 1 substitute.
When we reached the pitch we were very shock to see the appearance of our opponent. They were indians who are tall and lanky and rigid. And they absolutely looked a pack of speed and skills. They were the typical bunch of people whom u will think that their slowest player is fastest than ur team's fastest player. That is quite a scary thought and that really dampened our morale and mood. Anythin not more than 4 goals will be a victory for us therefore we go out with a mindset of just enoying the game.
Match Review
The match started with the first 5-10 minutes being very jittery as the team failed to string anything decent together. They were down by the sheer physical appearance of the opponent that they are unable to do their thing.
However, we all start to realise that they are not strong enough. Lewis fitted into the left with Heng Swee is a combination of agility and flair with lewis mustering much of the ball and troubling them with his nifty footwork. Makeshit player Zhen qing play centre back with ever energizing Daniel at the back with both having the attribute of godly energy level. However there were moments u see Zhen Qing being way in front of the whole team leading the attack when he should be defending however he made it up with his drive and force which is very important to the team. Daniel was winning all the balls and none of the defenders can go pass him as he timed his tackles with precision. Easily one of the best players of the team with him sitting in the heart of defence, Ah fat had virtually nothing to do the whole 1st half.
We had a few good chance and finally in the 15th minute we capitalised on the mistakes they committed...simon threaded a 1 - 2 pass with chai as chai released simon to race down to collect the ball and blast it past the keeper into the roof of the goal post.
Opponent is stunned and the crowd stood up in disbelief.
