"Short Shorts" Nayfe Reaches 22

The Tardan Stallions proudly announced today that one of the club's
greatest assets is 22 today. The fans are worried that his growing
injuries due to his age may raise concerns with his contract and a
possible 1 year extension. Nayfe told us earlier in an exclusive
report, "An extension would be great but I've been having a lot of
problems in the hip area. Long playing sessions are causing
persistent stiffness which is beginning to get painful." The manager
and coach acknowledged the problem, suggesting that it really
comes down to the way he handles it. Fans worry that he is finding
it too hard at times and will find it difficult to keep his current
form up. Nayfe remains optimistic though claiming that he stills
feels the magic when he gets hold of a ball.

Despite the problems, the manager remains confident that Nayfe may
be a part of future plans, if only part time. Sponsors remain
doubtful after the performance in the league and cup but the fans
are looking forward to the new season after the team achieved a
single win.

Middlesborough in Stallion Star Tapping Shocker–From BBC News

BBC news can today confirm for definite that it's a possibility that Owen Bellamy, a Stallions star player, might have been "tapped" by Middlesborough. Maybe.
The following report is by our intrepid reporter, Tusky O'Piece:
"I was round the back of a restaurant rooting through the skips and bins, when I noticed [Owen] Bellamy going in. I stopped my nefarious activities and followed him. After waiting for a few seconds and gazing round, he went and talked to a member of staff. I heard him asking questions about a "big Mac"- surely none other than Boro supremo, "big" Steve McClaren. I moved in closer, (and I don't mean the German footballer) to hear more. Bellamy was then asked a question which sounded like "With Fries?", but my ears were muffled by the fake rubber plant I was hiding behind. I then realised he must have been asked "With de Vries?"- Middlesborough were making a move for the Leicester City striker too! And the scandal was increased when Bellamy said "yes" – managers Baker and Levein will surely be distraught. To confound his situation, he asked "Could I have a shake?" Not satisfied with discussing terms without his clubs permission, he wanted to conclude the deal there and then! But stallions fans shouldn't worry just yet. Bellamy was informed there would be "No shakes" as "the machine was broken." What this last enigmatic statement means is open for discussion. Possibly it was a sideswipe at the current K5 stipulation, the "machine" being the Premier League's rules. Bellamy then left with a brown paper bag- containing his first advance on his signing fee? Who knows? I don't."

The FA has asked for a full enquiry.

Match 12: Stats and FACTS

Yeah, so we had a friendly with kung foo. More news to follow when that swarthy tusk Christopher gets his arse in gear.
Basically what happened was we were meant to have a game, our opponents didn't turn up, so we had a friendly with Kung Foo, (as you'd probably guessed.) We scored through David Pickles, and although they edge the game possesion wise, we came away with the win.

Match(?) 11

They didn't turn up (which means we won). Nayfe has said he will write a report still but given how much of a lay about the man is, I don't hold out much hope.
