Dave 'lightnin' Turner in for the Boxster; same result though for the Whites.
Whites thought a change was needed, and they ended up defending the Bags End, and there were no goals for the first 10 minutes, it was very close.
Colours soon opened the scoring but weren't able to get a decisive lead until less than half an hour to go; Whites were a lot better this week, but squandered chances in front of goal. Mazy runs from Paul & Dave at the front but finishing let them down, this wasnt helped by Dave Evs filling the goal (there's a joke in there somewhere but I'll leave it to others).

Also some shambolic defending let the colours in and some quickfire goals from ibbster and babelster put the result beyond doubt, though a late charge made it look more respectable. I crashed out near the end with ankle injury to add to the disgusting cold I have had for most of 2008 :((((
With the transfer window now open, where do the whites look for inspiration? is a wholesale shake up needed? I hear Big Sam can do a job

report:
the game kicked off a little late, both teams waiting for Arthur to turn up. (There are those who would say we are still waiting - but that would be cruel) . Colours were defending the Bags End. Colours started brightly and soon cruised to a handsome lead with Babel on top form. Whites never got into the game in the early stages as they were very short of pace and ideas. Colours ran out of steam in the last 15 minutes but some inspired goal keeping and poor finishing kept a respectable distance between the two teams. Colours seem determined to shake off the malaise of the last 2 years. Is 2008 finally the year to turn it all round?

2008 Pre-Season

Welcome to the NEW Big Toe. Hopefully this new format is ok - it's certainly cheaper than the last version and it gives you the opportunity to comment as well on the games. Who will win the 2008 season? Will this be the last year? Who Knows?
