Corinthians 4 - 3 ABG
A sunny afternoon, an unbeaten start to the season and next up ABG, a team the Corinthians have hammered in the past, everything looked on course for another league victory, however the Corinthians were without their influential goalkeeper Gomez and skipper Lewis, and with ABG boasting some new big money signings this wasn’t going to be the walk in park so many (well me and Jim) had predicted
In the absence of Gomez the Corinthians operated the tried and tested (and previously disastrous) rotation policy in goal with Cenamor starting between the sticks. The Corinthians started lacking their usual fluid movement giving ABG too much space which left gaps at the back for the opposition to exploit. With the sun beating down it looked like it could be another one of those days where the mighty Incisive are held by an inferior team.
However anyone who knows anything about the Corinthians knows they don’t start playing until 10 minutes into the game and this week was no exception. Kieron, Aidy and Jason linked up well up front interchanging positions all the time to keep ABG guessing, Frankie played like a young Roy Keane going from box to box, Jim was solid at the back while still supporting the attack, Finnegan spent most of the game daydreaming about his wonder goal from the previous game and feeling angry about the injustice that Al hadn’t written a match report last week.
After a hard fought half an hour the Corinthians found themselves 4-3 up a winning position they should have been defending but instead chose to launch wave after wave of attack, the emergence of skipper Lewis from the bench for the final 2 minutes was a tactical move to bring a calming presence onto the field but instead he too got caught up in the free-flowing attacking football. Fortunately despite leaving gaping holes at the back the opposition couldn’t get the ball off the Spanish like Corinthians and the final whistle blew on a 4-3 win, another 3 points and the perfect start to the season still in tact.
Your Corinthains last week were:
Jim – Alienated many of his teammates early on with strange pre-match comments offering the rest of the team use of the johnnys in his wallet, but won most of them back round with another solid performance.
Aidy – Penultimate game of his loan spell and his best performance to date. Direct running and great link up play with Kieron led to most of the goals
Frankie – the returning Corthian put in a good performance with plenty of running. A welcome return from his loan spell in France. Jase has offered use of his old astros for the future which have at least 6 or 7 more games in them thanks some sellotape and elastic bands.
Kieron – Another quality showing which will continue to keep Olly Nevill confined to the reserves. Provided the base for the majority of the Corinthian attacks. Shares the man of the match award with Aidy.
Jase – Full of running, pace and endeavour out on pitch (which he claimed was mostly down to his new Astros), however looked uneasy in goal. The fans continue to take issue with his tracksuit bottom stance.
AL – Cameo performance for from our captain who turned up with 2 minutes left to play, but a solid 2 minutes it was. He has assured the rest of the squad that he will fining himself for turning up late and paying everyones match fees for the next 2 weeks.
Chris – Did very little, but then was stupidly given permission to write the match report, 10/10,
All in all a good performance and another important win. However next week is game on with Bloomberg lying in wait filled with confidence following their victory over us last season. Time for the Corinthians to prove once again who owns this league, that when it comes to big games we step up to a level other teams simply cant imagine let alone match, that when history talks about the greatest of 5 a-side teams it will reserve special praise for those players that graced the Attlee youth centre and destroyed every team foolish enough to stand in their path!
With that said Tj do you mind giving this week a miss – cheers

Corinthians 5-2 JTP 10/06/2010
Cor-in-thi-ans
Cor-in-thi-ans
They’re coming
They are coming home
(x4)
Everyone seems to know the score
They've seen it all before
They just know
They're so sure
Cor-in-thi-ans will
Show them the away
Gonna blow them away
We all know they can play
Cos' I remember
CORINTHIANS on their shirts
Plastic trophy still gleaming
30 Years of misses
Hasn’t stopped Lewis shooting
So many jokes, so many jeers
But all those oh so nears
Wore him down
Through the years…(to about 5ft 8)
But I still see that
Tackle by Al
And when Finnegan scored
Murray belting the ball
And Browny dancing
CORINTHIANS on their shirts
Plastic trophy still gleaming
3 seasons on the trott
Hasn’t stopped Gomez saving…
I know that was then
But it could be again
We won last week
We won last week
We won 5-2
We will win again
(x4)
CORINTHIANS on their shirts
Plastic trophy still gleaming
30 Years of misses
Hasn’t stopped Lewis shooting….

Corinthians 16 - 2 CITI 03/06/10
Every man born with that innate comprehension that a ball should be round....not oval and that it should be about the size of a mans head and possible to kick without breaking a bone...not the size of a fist and likely to be smashed at your head with a linseed oil soaked plank of wood....
Every one of these men, lives every day of his life filled with terror that the summer lull in football broadcasting or the break from activity of his beloved 5 aside team may, just may, never end. That he might wake up one morning bereft of football shakes him to the core and results in wild behaviour; Wild erratic behaviour that renders the female gender proclaiming confusion even bafflement (not a word until now) at how their bearded, beer bellied opposite numbers behave.
This is the little known secret of behavioural nuances such as men huddled round warm flat pints of lager in dingy, damp stinking public houses, muttering about and cackling at absurd idiosyncrasies rather than returning home to their loved ones lucid and awake at the pre-agreed time.....
This, this and of course that fact that we just spent 8 hours at work aware that our partners have spent the whole day updating their profiles to read:
'SATC2 tonight Sooo excited'
comment:
'Oh wow we're seeing it tonight too, where you goin'?'
'Let's all dress up like the SJP and go for cocktails first woooooo'.
It takes 9 pints and 3 hours of reminding yourself that it doesn't have to be that way to wipe out the realisation that your beautiful intelligent partner is in fact a mentally ill 6 year old with a Barbie house instead of a brain....that or 9 pints and 3 hours to build up the momentum to go home and exact horrific domestic abuse, but that is a personal thing and you go the way that you feel is right.
So then........it is with fervour & perpetuity that the re-start of the Corinthians 5 aside season is awaited.....
Towning
Lewis
Finnegan
Nevill
Murray
Cenamor
Lined up to face the un-to-now force unknown of CITI bank.
Initial observations did not strike fear into the Corinthian Lion Hearts as the opposition took to the field adorned in a variety of cheap beach wear. The outfield players looked more like a lost group of British tourists in 80's Tenerife, looking for the beach but somehow ensnared in a game of 5 aside football, a game that they had previously never heard of.
It became clear that the CITI outfit really meant business though, when the goal keeper adorned a pair of Gardening Gloves, an audacious break from goal keeping tradition.
Recent times have seen defeats and static play from the Corinthians, but possibly inspired by the return of club all time top scorer Andrew Towning the play was fluid and the movement inspired.
It was at least 2-0 to the blues before CITI had chance to settle and to so much as touch the ball.
Move of the game began with Jim Murray, spying an opening down the middle of the pitch he launched a through ball to Towning, but the ball was at about stomach height. Towning launched himself into the air, recalling the skills he had developed at county level hurdles and turning 180 degrees scissor kicked the ball against the cross bar. There was almost applause.....despite the fact that there was no crowd....
The goals included
A hatrick for Murray, capped off with a 10 yard shin strike, the ball foxing the gardening glove clad keeper, by slowly bouncing directly past his leg...
2 for Finnegan including a rocket strike of a penalty and just barely muted Stuart Pearce vs Spain celebration...
An unending flow of succinct strikes from the men charged with the goal tally, Towning and Cenamor.
None for Lewis. More concerned with peppering the goal mouth with long range wonder strikes, Lewis once again proved that his Lampard thunderbolt needs considerable training ground work.
Nevill in goal, charged up by the terrifying potential of the game finishing late and his better half illustrating vocal disgruntlement, adorned in professional looking goal keeping strip, he gave Gomez a real challenge between the sticks.
It was a Rob Green vs Mexico esque performance and many fans are excited by the prospect of a competent number 2. Gomez though has been rumoured to have undermined the challenge by sending Italian Mafia clad 'kiss o grams' to the Nevill abode...a lightly shrouded death threat if ever there was one.
All in all a triumph and exactly the start that the season needed....Now on to the tough games.
