       The Nikara Dragons, fresh off their team Christmas holiday to
       Colombia, are back in training on Monday in order to prepare for
       the visit of third in the table Robbailie Escocia. With
       Robbailie Escocia just a point off top spot in the second
       division, optimism is at an all time low within the Nikara camp.
       The team sit in 6th a full 8 points adrift of the top 3 and
       having come off a disappointing 2-2 draw against United 1908 in
       a game the club thought they probably had the best of but
       ultimately ended in the points being shared.
       Some in the press have wondered whether a Christmas break in
       Colombia is the best option for a club that are in danger of
       descending into mid table obscurity. The manager's response was
       equally puzzling as he simply said "what goes on tour, stays on
       tour mate". When asked what that meant he said "come off it with
       all the questions pal... the boys were getting a bit stressed
       and complained the new training methods were unconventional so I
       decided we could all do with a get away to Bogota to chill out a
       bit". Some have said that is a wild response that shows the
       manager is evidently out his depth however Taylor was having
       none of it. "You lot dont have a clue, I might be their manager
       but I'm their friend first and sometimes they just need a
       manager that understands the modern footballer"... Again,
       absolutely wild and the first sign this guy is clearly not up
       for the job.
       As for the game against Robbailie, its hard not to be impressed
       by the consistency of the Escocia's squad. Near enough everyone
       is 15 rated with two quality strikers and a tough goalkeeper to
       beat. There's a reason they have the second best defensive
       record in the league. Without their most dangerous striker,
       Hatori_Hanzo, its tough to see the Dragons scoring much so
       they'll need to hope they get a ton of luck and cling on for
       dear life! Optimism is not exactly at an all time high at the
       Nikara Dragons!!

       [glow=red,2,300]Kingfisher Dolphins vs Helsinki
       Hellhounds[/glow]
       Overview
       Helsinki now only have the league to focus on as we head into
       the final 8 games of the season. Its the business end and every
       result matters. The Dolphins have promotion aspirations of their
       own and sit in 5th, 6 points off the Hellhounds. With home
       advantage this could be a cracker.
       Team news
       The Dolphins are missing two due to suspension with Mayse in
       defence the significant miss. Helsinki have a full squad to pick
       from and welcome new signing of highly talented youngster
       Shynarenko who will likely start.
       Form guide
       Helsinki Hellhounds WWWWWW (league form)
       Six in a row now and a perfect form record for Helsinki. Last
       time out they drubbed league leaders Escocia. They'll be hoping
       to continue their fantastic league run after mid week cup
       disappointment.
       Kingfisher Dolphins WLWLWL (league form)
       Kingfisher are winning every other game at the moment and the
       bad news for Helsinki is that they didn't win last time out! It
       will be interesting to see if they can pick up a win against
       another of their title rivals having lost to Robbaillie Escocia
       and Golden Eagles during the last six, although they did beat
       the Cockrells.
       Players to watch
       Harvey_Adkins has been their stand out forward despite
       relatively modest statistics. It will be interesting to see
       whether young future goalkeeping star SIMON_COMLEY will be given
       the number one spot ahead of 29 year old ageing star Spellman.
       Shephard - whether deployed in defence or midfield has been
       delivering some big performances recently and the club will be
       hoping he can deliver this weekend.
       Manager's mouthful
       "Its time to get back to our bread and butter in the league.
       Evans needs a rest so he'll likely see some time out of this
       game. We're going to look to attack a bit more than previously
       and see if that leads to further improvements in results. We
       certainly have the squad to play that way now."

       Highland Rangers-Cockney Cockrells
       Highland are at homer to league topping Cockney Cockrells in the
       first league game of the new year still looking for there first
       win of the season. The home teams defence will have a hard time
       trying to keep the Cockrells striking duo of Otto_Bismark and
       Handle_Funky quiet as between them they have hit the back of the
       net 27 times this season so far. This task will be made hard by
       the absence of young star defender Steve Bowen and Diode_Navrick
       who as still on there way back to fitness form injury. Both
       players should be back in the playing squad within the next week
       or so. Cockrells have there full squad available to them to pick
       from.
       The home fans will hope that the team can start scoring more
       goal themselves as so far this season they have only seen the
       team score 8 goals in 14 league games. The manager has brought
       in a couple of forward players this season but as yet they are
       to find there shooting boots. The management team think once
       they start then both have goals in them but are struggling a bit
       with there conference in front of them goal.

       Sarnians vs Darlington All Stars
       It’s a much changed line up for the league game his weekend and
       we rotate to manage fitness levels in the side. In defence Genge
       and Tuipers start in place of Sanders and McQueen. Erriparri
       still has a couple of weeks to recover from injury.
       In midfield Kai Pavlov and Eddie Merlin are rested and Golding
       returns to the fold at number 10. There’s also a full debut for
       Odysseus Sol the 16 year old starts alongside Esteboso in a very
       young midfield.
       Up front and Seb Minerva starts in place of the suspended
       Karrar.
       Away from the tie itself the offers again came in for the not
       for sale Ady Sanders and were turned away, there has been a work
       experience role created at the clubs offices to take calls on
       the switchboard in order to read from a joke book every time an
       offer comes in.

       Golden Eagles FC will be looking to dust themselves off after
       being dumped out of the EA Cup by Kyushu Yakuza in mid week with
       a home tie against Thames Ironworks. Eagles sit 4th, 4 points
       behind leaders Cockney Cockrells and 3 behind Helsinki
       Hellhounds and Robbailie Escocia.
       A win will keep the pressure up on those teams above them and
       with an away tie against Hellhounds the following weekend. They
       also have a double header against Division 1 leaders Rael Nerrad
       in the Xbox League Cup, so it is a crucial stage of the season
       for the Tampere based outfit.
       Eagles are without the suspended Jans Goisthalt and despite the
       mid season break, manager Dave Rosewell still has some fitness
       concerns, along with some players close to suspensions. So
       Domenic Torcaso, Alessio Kovacic are on the bench, while Milos
       Potkozara&#269; takes Goisthalt's place alongside Pavel
       Chernyshev and Angelo Nazari keeps his place in the starting
       line up. Oscar Marconato and Jussi Härmäläinen are also named on
       the bench.
       Ironworks meanwhile are without Mark Noble, who is suspended,
       but no further team news has been forthcoming.
       "We gotta pick ourselves up today, mid-week's defeat was a tough
       pill to swallow, but I have faith that we can bounce back."

       Today is caretaker manager, Dave Rosewell's first game in charge
       of United 1908, while manager Wayne Lupton takes a break. United
       are 10th and are 10 points from a play off spot, while a chance
       of promotion looks unlikely, there is still a chance for them to
       move up the table. They face an away tie against fellow
       strugglers Eastern Whirlwinds, who are 11th with 9 points.
       There is also time to develop the team and ensure all the
       players meet their required minutes, which is one of the
       caretaker's main priorities. United have a full squad to select
       from, B. Kechakmadze will make his first start in his new
       position, having switched from midfield to defence. Artem
       Kolinko returns from a loan spell at Golden Eagles FC to be
       named in the starting line up and he will partner B Ivakhiv.
       Whirlwinds are missing Raul Tuco, who is suspended.
       "We have a good chance of getting 3 points here and over take
       Thames Ironworks (who sit 9th, also on 13 points), as well as
       gaining some valuable minutes for the players who are a little
       short."
