Hardy's 2 Cents

Real IRA 33 vs 37 The Matthew Nicholson Appreciation Society

The People’s Champion strikes again in a tight fought victory to make it 5 out of 6 wins in this years league. You just can’t keep a good man down. Afterwards, Hardy addressed the masses, ‘This is for you, my legions of minions fans. Thank you for your support.’ And after win-lose-win-lose, will the real real IRA stand-up?

Lovely Lamellas 38 vs. 20 Crunchy Nachos

Right between the man who’s bungee cord wasn’t attached (he survived, although with major injuries) and the kitten that got stuck in a drain for a week (it lived) is the Miracle of Michael Taylor. Meanwhile it seems like the Nachos have gone soft by now- they’ll need to dip into the transfer market to get back their bite. At least they’re consistent, with a 100% record so far in this years draft. As they say, what’s the difference between a triangle and David Blair?***

Van Gal’s gaals 22 vs. 37 Welsh galacticos

The sound of children crying in the streets, the death knell at the church, passers-by dressed in black. It was a sign. Nicholson had won again this week. To be fair, his opponent seem to have about as much skill in football management as a soup sandwich- rumour has it next week Phil is testing out a new 5-0-5 formation…

FC Casimir 37 vs. 52 Culchie Blues

As I sat back in my red leather recliner, lit up a cigar and swirled a glass of whiskey in the palm of my left hand, I thought, ‘nice one son.’ And he had done it by leaving his best player on the bench. Cheeky. It had reminded me of better times, times before the PedroGate scandal and my fingers and neck got sore from excessive keyboard use. Times when you could, say, leave Barkley on the bench and still win. Times when Nicholson would lose. Tonight, I raise a glass to Colin Forbes, who’s top of the Draft rich list this week.

Pred. Wasps 36 vs. 23 AV Beasts

It was McMullan who triumphed in the battle for midtable mediocrity. With both sides now sitting 7^th and 8^th respectivzzzz…zzz…zzzz.zzz

Belfast Benfica 37 vs 29 Kamikatze Pidgeons

In a top of the table clash schoolboy errors cost Breandan Hill’s high fliers (no doubt it was the waiver order fault). Gomis as captain? Suicidal move by the pidgeons, they’ll be puncheon themselves tonight. It meant an unspectacular, but solid, performance from Benfica was enough for all 3 points and top spot at the end of GW5.
