Corinthians 5-3 A&O - Corinthians 4-3 ABG

All great artists have breaks in their flow of communication. Writers block, personal tragedy, the end of a ‘scene’ to which they belonged all part of the reason.

Often come backs inspire true genius, real progression and spiking public interest (see Blur), others like Oasis, dross regurgitation of what once was and squabbling childish one up man-ship, plausibly entertaining aged 20 but more like watch 2 wretched old alcoholics battle it out over the last bar stool by bringing an awkward looking young bar staff into the argument.

As such, with 2 weeks without a proper Corinthian match report an air of concern shrouds the round robin….when they return…it remains axiomatic that they will be confused and colourful, but will they be good? or will then be the crazed gibberings of a past it old captain clutching an old league trophy in the corner of a park whilst bashing out sententious accounts of sightings of Alex Ferguson on an old typewriter?

Only time will tell.

For the record though, Daniel Dunkley made his long awaited debut to face Allen & Overy 2 weeks ago in a 5-3 Corinthian victory. Hard work made of average opposition, but Dunkley provided some deft touches and regularly sent a baffled defender sprinting off into the distance with an elaborate feint….then promptly fell on his arse or lurched an exhausted leg out a the football ending it casually rolling into the opponents goal keepers arms. Fitness will no doubt improve this! Moment of the game though,

Gomez rolls to Lewis, facing his own goal touches back to Dunkley, Dunkley pass splits the defence, Murray turns on a penny and smashes home a superb goal.

P.s Finnegan scored the 3rd to break the 2 all deadlock, He’s very proud but after his shenanigans the Saturday before last is struck of the plaudits list until further notice….

Last week a narrow 4-3 win over ABG masked a triumphant performance highlights being:

The ABG goal that whizzed past the net into the side netting…but was given as a goal to send them up 1-0

The shot that slapped into keeper Lewis’s naked wet hand…..rendering him a cripple for life

The look of terror in Murray’s eyes as the goalkeeping duty fell heavily onto his shoulders and the score had sneaked ever closer to the disaster that would have been a draw….

Goals for Cenamor, Brown and unfortunately I can’t remember the last one….

But it definitely wasn’t Lewis, who with seconds left, was on the receiving end of a Barcelonaesque passing move, only the keeper to beat and with all the time in the universe, Lewis scuffed the ball wide of the post, possibly not even hitting the back boards, like a giant spastic cripple of a striker that his reputation affords him to be.

2 more wins, and the league looks to be on course for Corinthian ownership again, but with 2 close games, this week needs to be exciting enough to warrant a return to match reporting form.
