Goodness me! We are only three days in to 2005 and already there is a major match! The traditional Slayers FC v. Old Men match. Kick off is expected to occur at 11am this morning with both teams eager for a win. The Old Men want to show that they truly are unbeatable; the Slayers want to show the Old Men the way to the nursing home.
Many have their doubts about Slayers FC's ability to knock the Old Men off the top spot in the league of two (very definitely not a league of gentlemen). Even some time hardened Slayers have been rumoured as having whispered concerns in the dark. If Slayers FC were to win this match it would be a turning point in history. No longer would the old men be unbeaten. No longer would the Slayers face the taunts and abuse launched at them by one Harry "Gibroni" Latimer and another Karl "Mean Man" McMeekin.
No, it would be the dawn of Slaydom, the era of the Slay. Each Slayer would implicitly deserve the respect of each gray-haired geezer; moreso, they would be able to demand that respect.
I have a dream that one day Slayers FC will be victorious against the Old Men, that each Slayer would be crowned the king of his position on the field, and that the crowds that gather would shout for us by name. I have a feeling that my dream might be realised in this upcoming game.
This reporter will be fighting in the ranks of Slayers FC from kick off. Come and join us in the cause of Slay.
