       this is a huge game as we face top of the table nerrad if we win
       we close the gap on them but if we lose which i will cause i
       always lose to [member=1]Dazoctaron[/member] we could drop to
       3rd so its agame we cant afford to lose if we want to stand any
       chance of winning  something this season

       Sky Blues vs Helsinki Hellhounds
       After almost a week of rest, OFMC returns with Saturday's 12th
       round of games which mark the start of the second half of the
       league season.
       Sky Blues - mid table obscurity from the first half of the
       season but a similar goals record to Helsinki with 24 for and 22
       against compared to the Hellhounds 22 for and 18 against. The
       Sky Blue currently sit four points off Helsinki and the
       automatic promotion places.
       Helsinki - in last week's games they moved into the automation
       promotion places for the first time and will be looking to
       consolidate that position. They know that slip ups will let the
       likes of the Dolphins and Eagles back into the promotion places.
       Form guide:
       Sky Blues  WWLWWW
       Helsinki Hellhounds WWLWWW
       Identical records for these two clubs. It looks like Sky Blues
       are recovering well from from a poor start to the season. These
       are two of the in form sides in the league at the moment.
       Team news:
       Sky Blues are missing defender Mendez who is suspended for this
       match. Otherwise the squad is fully available, if a little tired
       in places.
       Helsinki have no players missing, but similarly have a few tired
       players who may need a bit of a rest.
       Helsinki will hopefully that freshly trained and captained
       Lazslo Kiss can keep up his goal scoring form, buoyed by the
       high quality midfield behind him.

       Gyergyoi Vs Pompey Chimes
       On paper a 'winnable' game especially with home advantage but as
       Gyergyoi fans will agree there's just no knowing which side will
       turn up, could easily be a 0-0 boredraw but then it could be a
       thriller with 10 goals contested.
       No injury concerns, but manager Marsh will look to put some
       minutes into legs of fringe players as we pass by the halfway
       point to the league season.

       Highland will be after getting their first win of the season in
       this home game against Robbaillie Escocia. It will not be easy
       as Robbaillie Escocia sit top of the league with 8 wins so far
       this season.
       Highland have to start getting some points and home matches must
       be where they start. White will hope the team can start
       converting chances at a high percentage as they are very shy in
       front of gaol so far this season.

       Sarnians vs Wolves
       Well after a midweek rest, there are still some player fitnesses
       to manage for the visits of bottom club Wolves. With the Round
       of 16 League Cup ties coming around the corned we've decided to
       rest some players for the game.
       This means Genge and Sanders start at centre half, at the
       expense on Nimrodel and ErriParri. New captain Ajak remains in
       midfield, and Pavlov is rested from the match day squad
       entirely. Youngsters Tuipers and Staggs feature from the start
       in their first appearances for some time, with Golding being the
       tasks of marshalling the middle of the park.
       Up front Karrar starts ahead of the wantaway Tallehasse, no firm
       offers coming in for the Canadian striker, who was surprisingly
       transfer listed this week.
       In broader club news, Skittles confirmed that the club will be
       prioritising both the knock out cups this season over the league
       as that ship had now sailed, and developing towards a new
       formation and system that will bring the best out of the players
       in the squad, as the defence has been shambolic at times this
       year.

       All (ok some) eyes will be in the East Midlands today as the
       Nikara Dragons welcome a new manager to the club. Fans will be
       eager to see whether Taylor can improve a club that is hit and
       miss (5 wins / 5 losses) so far this season or whether he'll
       destroy the good work done by the previous manager. The Rose
       Bowl will be a tough first test as nobody really wants to go to
       Coventry where 30,000 passionate fans are baying for blood!
       Hard to know what we will see tactically from Nikara or even if
       there manager can submit a teamsheet correctly but its hard to
       imagine too much will change in the short term. The team won 4-0
       (i think!!?!) in the last game so fans will be expecting more of
       the same though the manager has cautioned the fans that this
       will be a very different battle. Safe to say we'll know more by
       this evening!

       Storm  vs  Kyushu Yakuza
       For the second round running its a head to head with a team
       around us, as we in 3rd play the storm in 4rth.Im still unsure
       of what I really think about last weeks game but we need to get
       back on track. A change of captain, which is no insult to Turais
       Rigel as we are just taking advantage of a new option handed to
       us by the league, sees the young star midfielder Leda Cygnus
       step into the captains boots looking to lead the team to the
       first win of many under his leadership. Leda has been among the
       leadership group within the team since he joined the club so
       really its no change at all as we have a few leaders on the
       pitch. We have a full quad to pick from and we expect no
       surprises as we look to pick up the three points and they are
       need as Rael are now seven points ahead of us and we need all
       the points we can get as we still have a slim chance to win the
       league.

       [font=comic sans ms]   Puskas
       Academia  vs  Sunset Knights[/font]
       [font=comic sans ms]We are getting desperate to gain any points
       we can as now as it stands we would be relegated. There will be
       more than a few changes as w e have one player missing and we
       think we need to make changes as we look for a winning formula.
       The major change comes in the captaincy of the team as the young
       defender, GYORGI SAROSI steps into the hot seat as we take
       advantage of an opportunity given by the league. I think most
       teams in the leagues will take the opportunity. We CAN win this
       game it is there for us we just lack the confidence at the
       minute but we trying in the background to instil some pride and
       backbone into the squad and make them believe that they are
       capable and maybe bring the cup form into the league.[/font]

       Golden Eagles FC go into their match with Kingfisher Dolphins
       missing 2 defenders due to suspensions. Former captain Domenic
       Torcaso is out for the next 2 games, while Danik Marashko is
       also missing for this match. New club captain Artem Poltorak
       will lead the team out, with Taavi Ruusumäki and Oscar Marconato
       taking the places of their fellow suspended defenders. The rest
       of the team is unchanged from last weeks 1-1 draw against
       Robbaillie Escocia. While Dolphins have no suspensions or
       injuries.
       Eagles still sit 6 points behind the league leaders, the top of
       division 2 is finally balanced at the halfway point. Escocia are
       top with 25 points, Cockney Cockrells are 2nd with 23, Helsinki
       Hellhounds and today's opponents sit 3rd & 4th with 20 points a
       piece. Meanwhile Eagles are 5th on 19 points. A home win would
       see them potentially move back up to 3rd depending on how
       Hellhounds perform against Sky Blues. The minnows from the
       Midlands already have a couple of big scalps so far this season
       (including a 4-2 home win against Eagles) and no doubt manager
       Dave Rosewell will hope that they can do them a favour.
       "We have a good chance to win today and we desperately need to,
       we have to make sure we have our teeth in today. I have a lot of
       faith in Artem (Poltorak) to lead the team capably today. Both
       him and Taavi (Ruusimäki) have both caused all sorts of issues
       for opponents so far this season and I have no doubt they will
       be a thorn in Dolphin's side today. Pavel and Jans have 13 goals
       a piece and they need to be on top form today."
