Hello to all.

On the 3rd of May, this coming Saturday, the He-man Womun Haters Club will be having a meeting at JB. We are heading to Skudai to discuss on future plans for our parent club, FMFC, and the utilisation of the prize money, amongst other things, over a seafood dinner. So far only 6 womun-haters have confirmed. I would like to put out an invitation to all womun-haters (if you're a member of the team, you're by default a member of the He-man Womun Haters Club) to come with us. So far, we have two cars ready to be deployed. If the response is good and there is a need for another car, it shall be done. Please indicate at the shout-out box if you are coming. Or text Buckwheat aka Abu. If you intend to bring a womun to a womun-haters meeting, please do inform us as we need to make arrangements with the alligator.

The details of the meeting are;
Saturday, 3rd of May 2008
6.00pm
Meet at 83 Lorong Melayu, before we head out

That is all for now.

Your President,
George "Spanky" McFarland

We are he-man womun haters
We feed girls to alligators
Our clubhouse burned down mighty low
But we've got a plan to make some dough

FMFC Vs Punggol Rivervale

Two goals were all it took for Fake Madrid FC to take the championship. A superb strike from Md Asyik A. Aziz and a brilliant solo effort by Md Elfi won the game.

Punggol had brought along their game that night as they were not handing the title to FMFC without a fight. Punggol forced a point blank save by FMFC's number 1, Hisham Omar, in the first half. Punggol were then denied the lead when their goal was ruled offside by the ref. The heavens were certainly in favour of FMFC when a well taken free kick by Punggol hit the crossbar just before the half-time whistle was blown. FMFC fans breathed a sigh of relief. Half time: 0-0

FMFC went one up against Punggol-Rivervale when Asyik, coming on as a substitute finished an unselfish cutback from right winger Md Zulkifli. Fans jumped in the air in jubilation as Asyik celebrated his goal with a rather unusual stick out tongue gesture. Rumor has it that it had been prophesied by the bench that he would come on and score a goal for FMFC that night.

FMFC's second goal came from the ever reliable Md 'Superman' Elfi when he made a brilliant run from his own half, beating a whole host of opposition before slotting the ball pass the goalkeeper. 2-0. Everyone associated with the club went crazy. FMFC are SAFRA League's 07/08 champions.

It didn't matter that FMFC later conceded a goal. No kick right in the balls were going to stop FMFC from writing their history. FMFC kept their cool, they knew victory was mins away. And when the ref blew the final whistle, FMFC celebrated their first competitive crown since first formed 5 years ago. The first and may it not be the last.

Match Report by Md Subhan



I know people are waiting for the match report. But Abu said he'll work on it. So we'll let him do that.

People! I would like to declare, officially, on the blog, that.. We did it. I love how 'Let's do this' has turned into that. We're champions. We've won the league. We went out there and did what we're supposed to. It was patchy and scary at first, but we rose to the occasion. It was ironic how everyone was screaming at each other the first half. But I knew right there, that wanting it bad enough was no longer a worry. I mean, everyone was running around getting the ball and screaming so much, we couldn't play our game. Still, it showed hunger, and I love to play in games when all of us are tuned and going for the kill. I have to say, yesterday has just become my favourite game to be involved in. Apart from the horrendous kick to my left nut, of course.

On behalf of the team, I would like to thank all the people that came down to support us. Mr Abdul Rahman aka The Godfather, Haikal's family and his loudest supporter his screaming little sister, the girlfriends who tries to come for every match, which is very sweet by the way (I swear I'm not trying to score points), the friends who we've not seen in ages. Everybody. Thank you! We might be having a big celebratory party soon and you're all invited. But it all depends on how the team wants to spend the prize money. Details will be updated on the blog so be sure to check up on us. Also do join our facebook group for more updates on matches and activities.

To get our football kicks, we would most probably be playing friendly matches or going back to street soccer or The Cage. If anyone has a team and wants to play a friendly match, or wants to organise a gathering at The Cage or have a street soccer court in Singapore to recommend, just leave the details at the shoutout box over at the side there. Hope the support will keep coming next season. Have a good one people.

An acre of green grass
Is the site for the final battle
We shall conquer our egos
And let our tempatations remain still
We've longed awaited this
A dream only a knight would dreamt

The battle is, alas,
Between the proud and the proud
Enough if the work had seemed
Through the devilish labyrinth laid upon us
We've conquered orcs and flying arrows
So bitterly, not a space for wounded sorrows
What we dreamed
Is what others longed for.

Remember lads
That if we hold that fight
They'll leave the place
They'll lose their selves
Let those hundreds mocked them another day
And let those thousands applaud us in gay
Kiss the crest and cherish these moments
The crown awaits you
To fulfill the forbidden throne
To grace the honour
The handsome champion you are.

Our maidens' presence
So worthy of gold
I salute to you
No likely end could bring them down
Or leave them happier than before
The saga has truly ended
I bid you

Adieu...

With Love,
Anonymous

To my teammates, my friends, my brothers.

I thought about this coming Wednesday, and what the match means to all of us. It, of course, is the defining match of this tournament, this league that we participate in. But if we take a moment for ourselves and look deeper, its more than that.

We've been together as a group for what, 8 years now? We grew up together, shared the many milestones of life we go through in our teenage years. From the highs of many first-times we share and talk about, to the lows of heartbreak and disappointment. Now that the bulk of us are turning 21, or entering adulthood to put it in a more significant manner, we will all choose our own paths in life, the road we'll each take as our own individual.

If you can recall, we used to talk about us running a company, with each of us having our own management positions and how Bul will be CEO. Those daydreams are fun to think about and I'm sure you are smiling as you recall the thought. It is not impossible, I know but realistically, it's a long shot. But keeping to our mentality since back then, never say never right? However, while you are recalling that thought, do also remember one conversation that seems to always repeat itself. The one where we talk about being middle-aged, with wives and children and we're still playing ball together. Think about that. And think about this Wednesday.

Winning this Wednesday would mean that we would achieve something, not as schoolmates, not as individuals, but as us. WE would achieve something. This will go beyond our run to the final back in secondary 2, or the championship some of us won with MJC. It will go beyond all our academic results which we can only apply to ourselves. If we win this, it will be an achievement we can share and talk about in years to come. It will be another forge in our bond, a memory to add to our library of memories filled with weirdness and lame-arse jokes. It will be, hopefully, the first of many successes on and off the field we will have together in our lives.

You might think, this is unnecessary pressure. You might think you don't need this and you just want to enjoy the match. Yes, enjoy the match. But look deep within you and ask yourself, don't you want to win it together as bad as I do? And even if we don't, I will still say, that I will not feel the same, sweating and bleeding on the field with anybody else on the field. I will not have the same will to give my all for my teammates. Because this is where I feel I belong. This is Fake Madrid FC.

So think about it.

Truly,
Sham.

The Daily Prophet

As the Fake Madrid Football Club(FMFC) team bus rolled into the Stadia De Safra Tampinese, the team was greeted with dark clouds. Heavy showers with lightning throughout the day have threatened to stop the match on the faithful night of april the 14. Foreboding signs loomed.

FMFC, decked out in the blue and white strips were celebrating the return of their most capped player Zulkifli Md Azman who started alongside in form striker Khidir Johari. It was only a temporary relief for the team as 20 minutes into the game, defender Shaari Abdul Ngalim was sent off for what the ref saw as a second bookable offence. It was a very suspect decision by the ref. Both Shaari and FMFC captain Saifudeen A Rahman argued that the tackle was a fair one but was turned a deaf ear and sent Shaari marching off the pitch.

FMFC was soon about to be deal with other 'P adalah problems' in the form of a torn boot and cramps. Haziq's boot gave way before half time while Haikal was forced to sit on the sidelines for a few mins due to cramps. Captain Saifudeen on countless occasion had to urge the team on, to continue fighting. There was not going to be one FMFC head down at the end of the match.

The big break came when a rash tackle by a Darts FC player produced a straight red card from the ref. The playing field was level now. 10 against 10. It did not take long for FMFC to capitalize. Zul, with his blistering pace weaved pass the defensive line of Darts FC before blasting the ball across the goal beating the keeper and into the net. That was the turning point.

The second goal came from a screaming daisy cutter, Haziq, finding a loose ball from outside the opponent penalty box WHACKKKEEEDDD the ball to score his 5th goal of the season. FMFC was now in control. At half time, FMFC was two goals up.


An early substitution by FMFC signalled a more defensive approach. Md Subhan Bin Ahzam Bahdari replaced Zulkifli Md Azman at the start of the second half. It was the earliest time in a game that the newly discovered central midfilder had been called to action.

FMFC played it simple, clearing every ball considered a threat. They were taking no chances. On many occasions throughout the game goalkeeper Hisham Omar had kept the opposition strikers at bay. One handed saves, one on one encounters, Hisham was not to be beaten that night. FMFC central defender, Md Elfi Mustapha killed the game with a brilliant solo effort. Shrugging off a tackle he then with poise and graze of a gazzele, run at the defence before slotting in the goal.

3 goals, 3 deserving points in the bag. FMFC still in the title race. A beautiful night of football.



Do the maths...

“Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.” - Winston Churchill

Polish your boots, we are going to war...

The Underdog

We love the story of the underdog. We all crave for the romantics of sports, when the unknown competitor overcomes the odds to come out on top. Constant references the world over to the story of David and Goliath show this obsession of wanting the little guys to win. Perhaps its our ability to be empathetic towards the underdogs, that we see ourselves as one of them, struggling against the odds. It is this love for the Cinderella story that drives the world of sports and more so in the world of football. And so, there is only one conclusion that can be made from all of this. Which is, I - need - to - get - a - job.

A friendly insight from the boys of FMFC.

Vindication.
by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The Daily Prophet

Boucing back from the disastrous defeat to the hands of PTMC three games ago, Fake Madrid Football Club (FMFC) have redeemed themselves with two spectacular showings. 3-1 win to Rock and a 7-0 trashing of PSSB spells a different team fielded against PTMC.
The return of influential captain, Bul, has given much needed physical presence and up the morale on the field. The introduction of Khidhir up front added a new dimension to the gameplay. Khidhir, a truely technical player, with exceptional ball control has got 3 goals in his 2 games as a striker. Fans have also be dazzled by the superb performance of Mr Apek down the left side of the field. Apek is a constant threat to the opposition on and off the ball. Apek proved his worth with his tireless running, sublime passes and pintpoint crosses.
The brilliance on the field have not only been confined to the three mentioned players however it is truely the fact that the team as a whole have up their game as they continue their quest for the championship. What's important (apart from Brother's Love), is for FMFC to continue playing at the level they are playing now. Keep scoring, keep winning games. The next match against front runners, Punggol-Rivervale would be THE MATCH of the season for FMFC. The rumour mill however has been buzzing that FMFC may again lose their captain to personal commitments. Who will be the anchor in the midfield? The dependable captain? and the visionary manager?

Stay tuned.
