HoboWeb X-Box Friday – Marty the Champ
Blurb by Martin GardnerWK 4 Final Results – Marty is the Champ
Into the final week of the HoboWeb XBox Friday league and it comes to a fantastic end (not the end of course – we now run a continous league).
After last weeks standings, France (Allan) was still in with a 2nd place finish. But he crashed out this week with a 0-0 draw against Holland (Rodger). Leaving him in 3rd overall. Germany (Jim), however, saved the day. With a 1-0 win the over Michael’s Spanish team, holding him back from any more points.
The Spanish team (Michael) played Argentina, and stomped all over the Argentinian side with a 2-1 win leaving Shaun’s team 4th, (sorry I just have to laugh.. hahahahah). Michael’s win and goal difference, brings him up to a nice 2nd position. With equal points and only 4 goals separating him and myself at the top of the table, I still had to play Shaun, to take the ultimate title.
The Final was already won with Me as the winner, with one game to play, this was to prove that yea Shaun just cant get it in… No matter if I had no goal keeper in place, the ball would fly up and over the bar, to given me an even better confidence boost. After the first goal by myself and 1st half, the stats said it all ; 1-0 the 2nd half to be quite the same for Shaun, as he tried in vain to find the back of the net, for one of his famous goal celebration rants. But IT wasn’t to be today…..,
- Goal Of The Day – Jim (he whooped Micheal 1-0)
- Game Of The Day – Italy beating Argentina
- Player Of The Week – Michael
- Most Improved – Jim
- Best Moan – Joint Title
Shaun (After Martin horsed him)
Micheal (After Jim scored with great advice from Me) - Best Impression Of A Young Girl Crying – Shaun (As Above)
- Most Cynical Fouling -Shaun using his last player to take me out just outside the box.

Marty lucky for you the coding is better than your spelling!
It is funny that I am going to be Germany next, because I already feel as if Martys win, wth all due respect, is like the 1966 World Cup, I`m bleeding sick of hearing about it. Fair play though. Although, I am not too sure about his predictions for the next league. Who says that Germany will be last..?
Its probably true though. But still..
