zhipengo: thengz is BHB

thengz - in happier, more handsome times

report: cristiano zhipengo, who recently celebrated his birthday on teacher's day, revealed an ugly incident in the dressing room today: nemanjang 'thengz' weedic a jealous dude.

supposedly gathering some financial gains from this leak-out to support his outside activities (drinking, boozing, drinking and girls), zhipengo, probably in a drunken stupor, shouted to a bunch of disguised reporters that thengz 'was angered by reports of bob gerrard being the most handsome lobo.' (zp and thengz attend the same accountancy class for peeps who have no idea how he got this juicy info).

'that was a total fluke! who is bob when the team have me!!' according to zhipengo, this is what thengz said.

fans will be eagerly anticipating a clash between the two hot dudes. the gaffer has been quoted to be relatively angry with zhipengo's lack of discretion, but is said to be looking forward to the fight.

the thing is in october. when the details come, i'll post them here.

Bob 'Suave' Gerrard comes close

report: pretty boy bobby gerrard once again proved to be the flower of the lobos' team, winning mr charismatic in a closely contested but obviously biased pageant.

there was no way bob could have lost, but some deep pockets and really questionable decision-making condemned the handsome dude to a measley title, when winning was a formality. but the dude was gracious in defeat, saying that 'if i had money, i would be mr world 2007. so it's not such a bad thing.'

'i would like to thank the lobos for being ugly mugs, thus making me even more sexy. it's difficult to be the focus of attention. tay remains in my heart though.'

the team would like to reilliterate our stand that bob is still the most shuai. cheers.

report: zhentan a lobo. at last.

report: after a long standing transfer tussle that has stretched for eons or months, the lobos have finally announced that they have captured zhentan ibrahuimovic.

after erratic commitment problems by the team's forwards such as cristiano zhipengo, and injury problems to key players cesc fatzegas and ronaldinho tay, the new striker will hopefully link up with the his new teammates soon. the only uninjured and good-natured forward in the team, kai-jan huitelaar, will be hoping to make a bang with this new acquisition.

gaffer hoberto mancini has never kept secret his desire to sign his old friend. the two go a long way back from their playing days in tchs fc, when kicking around in a muddy field with zhentan's twin brother zhoutan. in that not-so-distant past, ibrahuimovic was a terror for opposing defences, as former tchs old boys in the hornyteam will attest to. never an extremely quick forward, he made it up with clinical finishing and unnerving skill. in short, a lethal weapon.

'i tried persuading him since the formation of lobos. but that cok always don't want to commit. need a weedic to convince him.' said hoberto in the usual press conference. 'aiyah, weedic or no weedic, just glad that stupid bong has joined.'

many of of the team have expressed delight at this new addition. faberto carlos was from tchs fc too, while the others are looking forward to playing with him. a ronaldinho tay-zhentan ibrahuimovic combination looks bloody deadly. leo chunavaro will be disappointed that he will not strike for lobos again, but then again, defence is much more suited for him.

on paper, the array of lobos attack looks mouth-watering. with cong scholes moved back to the role of a libero, there is still ronaldinho, zhipengo, huitelaar, hoberto/joe ho. and now zhentan.

the new lobo will be hoping to make his debut next week, assuming there is a friendly match.


inothernews: carebears united have expressed interest in lobos keeper edwin wee der leong, after the custodian denied them victory in a recent match with a string of inhuman saves. this is not the first time cb united has wanted a lobo, after the ronaldinho desire. manager hoberto mancini, despite falling out with wee der leong some time ago over wdl's sister winnie, has nonetheless slammed the press for suggesting that he might move his player.

'smlj. i don't even like his sister.' hoberto was quoted while throwing cookery at the army of journalists at canteen 5 restaurant.

with close friends such as bobby gerrard and fatzegas in the team, there is no way wee der leong would want a move away. neither would he be allowed to. and that is the end of it.

match report
score: carebears united 3 el lobos 3
scorers: leonard 1, likoon (on-loan) 1, jiaxuan 1
attendance: 26.000

report: only four lobos turned up for this match, and the carebears kindly offered to loan the team a forward for numbers. before the match details, the gaffer would like to thank the dudes who bothered to make it down for the match after giving their word. tay, my apologies, sms malfunction.

the team started with wee leong in goal, sum and leo as the defence, jx and carebears' striker likoon as forwards.


as with every other team we have faced since the very beginning, the opposition drew first blood. one of the carebear's forwards latched onto a loose ball and drove it home. leonard drew us on level terms soon after after a forage up front by sum. a nice cross from the former ny guy, and an opportunist finish from the player striving to make the goal scoring role his. anyway, leo was suffering from bouts of hangover, so the goal was really a relief.

a horrendous backpass from jx brought the carebears level. playing without both his big toenails, the manager/player did what he had always been preaching - no square balls under pressurizing circumstances. a series of industrious solo runs did not bring respite, except a very nasty injury from the hottest guy in ntu hss. but luckily, li koon managed to finish a one on one opportunity, which once again evened things out.

fatigue was one main concern, and despite wee leong's efforts in keeping everything out, the carebear's forward did what he had threatened to do from the very beginning. getting the ball completely clear on the left, he took a swing at it which finally eluded wl, and giving the carebears their lead, which they sought to protect.

jx finally got his goal with a nice backflick after confusion in the opposition defence. and 3-3 it was.

manofthematch: wee leong
everyone played well, even jx. but you can't deny a dude the award when he dives full-length on the concrete floor just to prevent a rebound. the sort of attitute every lobo should strive for.

moanofthematch: i can't believe out of 13 players we can't get 6.

quoteofthematch: 'jiu shi ze yang ah? ARH?' a sum in total disbelief at four lobos out of thirteen.

conclusion: one question. team attitude and commitment.

friendly on 19th august, sunday
venue: NIE futsal court
match time: 0900
water parade: 0845
opponents: carebears united

last result: (win 2-0)

a friendly match with the nicest team, a good way to kickstart the new season. let's hope injuries and rough play do not marr the occasion.

currentsituation: we'll have just the minimum number of people for this. wee theng and possible-new-forward zhenhui have some nbs bash; liangfa has something on, and so has congjing. yewtze has his tuition, bob has his catwalking. huikai hasn't yet replied, so the rest will have to make do.

tay will be trying out his knee, zhipeng will attempt to offset the new signing, sum to prove his indispensability one more time, leo to show he is no nus slouch, wee leong to bring his sis along, and jx to shout tactics from the bench hoping huikai comes, if not the gaffer has to sweat.

opposition: they are caring dudes, so we'll just have a friendly game. for further info, refer to previous post.

conclusion: just a warm-up game. no violence please.

probable line-up: wee leong, sum, leonard, jiaxuan, yuxian, zhipeng

dudes, we'll have a match against some bukit panjang dudes next week, so make yourselves free. too much inaction... many teams have missed us.

might be getting a forward on loan. once anything is confirmed will, as usual, have the press conference. tay is okay, by the way, but we don't want to stress him yet.

guys, new term, new goals. but lobos, we are still.

everyone's so busy

match report
score: swai-ji 3 el lobos 1
scorers: zhipeng 1
attendance: 28.000

report: huikai took longer than expected, so here's what happened.

if we were to delve into details of the match, i would be woefully shorthanded. the truth is, the team attacked well in the opening ten minutes, zp missed three glorious chances, and that was about it. other than two opportunities spurned by jx near the end, the team did not threatened as much as a two goal deficit might have suggested.


just a summary of the goals (80 mins played):

oppo goal 1 (22 min): swai-ji forward gets the ball. 1-on-1 situation with wee theng. thengz in two minds whether to commit or not, and the forward clinically finishes.

oppo goal 2 (37 min): didn't catch it clearly, but looked like a fast break which caught our forwards off-guard.

zhipeng's goal (60+min): blocked by a sea of bodies; all i can remember is the ball hitting the back of the net, zhipeng pumping his fist into the air. and the initial feeling of relief.

oppo goal (73 min): swai-ji big man loops ball over wee leong. game set.


it should have been over long ago in fact. the loss stinks, and it's the second in the row. but that's the least of our worries.

other than the usual trio of players who couldn't make it for various reasons, two very crucial elements in confidence and energy were clearly missing. yes, the opposition was very physical and manhandled the players throughout the game. but on the energy level we were found wanting thoughout the entire match. offhand, five players did not have five hours of sleep, and who do we blame?

will try and work things out. hope you guys are with me on this. even with tay out of the equation, the team play gives little hope for the future. there's too much quality to be wasted like this.

manofthematch: wee theng
to his credit the dude never gave up. not saying that anyone slacked, which definitely wasn't the case, but i saw him go up again and again against that big guy with a look of fierce determination, devoid of any resignation one would have expected and not scorned.

moanofthematch: same dude
whatever his problem is, it's definitely chronic.

conclusion: another time perhaps.

friendly on 8th july, sunday
venue: NIE futsal court
match time: 0900
water parade: 0845
opponents: swai-ji

last result: loss (4-5)

our first loss. need i say more?

currentsituation: apparently yes. we've got a couple of injured players, and some very busy people. but i'm sure the six of us who played the last match would liked to see some defenders turn up. we've got four, dammit, and the one who came (leo) was the keeper. if cong hadn't played a great match, we would have died.

right now, the confirmed list includes bob, cj, thengz, weeleong, zp, liangfa. lack of firepower not a dire issue now, nor is the defence needing an urgent fix. leo will be turning up, but having camp the day before means he is incapable of playing a full match. sum has family priorities, but has stated that he will try to make it. assuming that huikai and liangfa turns up, we have a more complete team for once.

tay wanted to try out his knee, which could have spelt a revival. but latest news has it that he is headed for thailand. yewtze has family commitments, and will give this match a miss.

despite the absence of two key players, the defence is reinforced by the presence of more defensive specialist, and it might be a positive result for us this time round.

don't think our new striker on trial will be present on the day itself. at any rate, there are ample replacements. huikai will be looking to add on to his impressive turn-outs.

opposition: they are committed, fast and very physical. zp needs to get the better of his aj senior at the back. their full backs like to run up the flanks, hence the forwards might need to help out in closing them down.

pity sum's not confirmed coming. their strikers are opportunists, and need to be handled asap, whether technically or physically. cj might need to defend once again, as yewtze had trouble handling the big men in the middle.

conclusion: would have loved to be available for this one. the team is more balanced now. on paper should be a more favourable game.

probable line-up: wee leong, wee theng, congjing, bobby, huikai, zhipeng
