A.O.B.Jacobs vs Belgrave (Cup game)

This was Jacobs first cup game, how would they handle taking on a team from the division above us? Well let’s find out shall we?

All Jacobs strikers were missing from this game which meant Nathan would be playing as the lone striker with AJ providing support.

Team: Dave the Cat, Lego, Si, Ian, James J, Stu, Gill, Aus, Spud, AJ, Nathan. Subs: Benn.

Jags is back!

Everton announced today that centre back Phil Jagielka has returned to full training following his 6 month absence due to a knee ligament injury. Club physio Mick Rathbone had this to say:

“We are pleased with Phil and he is doing some good quality ball work now. When we talk about the recovery time from a cruciate injury the absolute minimum is six months.”

“The surgeon will not let a player go into any type of contact work for at least six months then you have to add on time to build up fitness and play in a few reserve games.”

“So you are looking at over seven months for a quick comeback.”

After the heart break of missing the FA Cup Final back in May there is no doubt Jags is ready to make up for such a disappointment. With the World Cup just around the corner don’t be too surprised to see him picking up where he left off last season and robbing a certain crater headed inferior centre back of his place in England’s World Cup squad!

General musings about my teams part 2 (49ers)

Prior to last night the 49ers had started out 3-1, only losing to a last second Brett Favre 60 yard+ touchdown pass, an excellent start to the season really.

Also we’d managed to get hold of the best receiver in the draft Michael Crabtree (thanks Oakland!),

General musings about my teams part 1 (Liverpool FC)

Firstly I’d like to quickly apologise for my lack of posting I’ve been busy with other stuff/lazy! ok on to some actual stuff

Liverpool have had an interesting start to the season, they’ve managed not to draw a single game as yet, which is a refreshing change on the last few seasons, however we’ve already lost more games than the whole of last season. That being said I don’t think we’re any worse off points wise than at this point last year (I think it’s a point either side if I’m not mistaken).

Sefton Churches V AOB Jacobs – Match Report

After an extra weeks rest Jacobs came into the game missing a few players. They lined up as: The Cat, Lego, Austin, Si, Richie, Ross, Gilly(c), AJ, Nath, Nails and Jamey. Subs: Benn, The Old Man, Gaz.

A.O.B. Jacobs vs Inter Mitchel

Jacobs had played Inter Mitchel pre-season and it had been a tight affair ending 1-1 so an interesting game was ahead of us.

Jacobs: Dave the Cat, James J, Si, Benn, Stu, Nathan, Gill (c), Spud, Ross, Gaz, Nails. Subs: Craig, Aaron, Jamey, Richie, Dave Wood.

Kick off was delayed by a good 10 minutes as the ref wandered around the pitch trying to get as much dog cr*p off it as possible, amongst other things.

Intermission

Jacobs V St. Peters

AJ, for the second game running, had the luxury of 14 players to pick from. With James and Craig Jackson unavailable Richie took up the left back position and Spud replaced Craig with AJ opting for a 5 man midfield against last season’s Top Division boys. Team: The Cat, Lego, Si, Benn, Richie, The Old Man, Gill(c), AJ, Spud, Nath and Gaz. Subs: Nails, Dave Wood and Ross.

Merseyside teams get Euro Campaigns off to a Winning Start

Everton and Liverpool got the groups stages of the Europa League and Champions League, respectively, off to winning starts. Liverpool played out a 1-0 win at home to Hungarian side Debrecen. The score fails to show the superiority the home side had over the visitors. Dirk Kuyt got the winning goal from close range in added time in the first half.

Everton enjoyed an easier fixture at home to Greek side AEK Athens. Goals from Yobo, Distin and Pienaar in the first half allowed Everton to rest some key players in the second half. The win was wrapped up with a 4th from the on-loan Jo. The only downside to the game was the sending off of striker Louis Saha for violent conduct. While Juanfran made an utter fool of himself trying to win an Oscar, Saha should’ve known better and not raised his hands. AEK also had a man sent off for booting Distin in the plumbs early in the second half.

Results:

Everton 4 – 0 AEK Athens (Europa League)

Liverpool 1 – 0 Debrecen (Champions League
