  Sunday's the day and the usual hangovers are in abundance, the bank holiday is upon us meaning we are several members short. Dell Length Clifton was honeymooning in Wales, Onions UTT Taylor was doing his usual disappearing act, Richard Fraggle Rock was cheating on us with a bunch of tangerines at Wembley and with Allergies cavorting in Scotland, the team were down to the last five players on the team sheet. With an hour to kickoff Sykes was contemplating spending the rest of the day in bed, Ferret Anal Bead was fast asleep whilst trying to wrestle off being drunk / hung-over, with Spaaaaaal being in a similar situation. Courageous Felix The Pussy Baker was leading by example and was on his fourth beer of the day, whilst Schoolnight was beginning to panic (for a change). The dumpsters have been in better situations (not by much though)

We needed a win but we were pinning all hopes on the teams below us to do worse… a safer bet. With SYKES taxi-ing to the game in style, the rest of the convoy minus Ferret’s stomach (which he lost on the walk to bus stop) travelled on late arriving team bus once again.

Note: Due to weeks of verbal crowd abuse Felix Pussy Baker resorted to wearing a coat this week to avoid heckles and didn’t take it off the rest of the night.

First Half
With about 2 minutes of shooting practice, Spaaaaaaal took on the gruelling task of tying his laces and because of this adventurous task endeavoured, the game kicked off without him - 5 minutes later he trots onto the pitch to assume the task of a quiet striker, for the second week in a row!!!

With concerns that the 2-1-1 formation was faltering, the majority of the half was spent in the Dumpsters half. With some bloody hard work by all we managed to keep a clean for at least the first quarter of the match even with the two close range free-kicks that the Pussy gave away. With Tim Anal Bead Ferret and Schoolnight chasing the ‘whipper-snapper’ strikers all over the pitch and with Sykes and Spal gladiating with the Starbucks defence energy levels were falling…. Then the inevitable happened – the Dumpsters left a man unmarked with enough room for him to launch a rocket past the Pussy. With an empty subs-bench subbing well wasn’t even an option!!!!!! Then out of no-where Martin Allergies Dibbles jogs onto the sidelines ready to take the Dumpsters to a win and then witnesses Felix The Pussy Baker admiring a fine free-kick in the middle of the pitch (which got clogged up in the defence) and the ball was long passed into the Dumpsters empty net – JESUS, Half time 2-0
  
Second Half
2-0 down and with Allergies’ fresh legs on the pitch confidence was marginally higher, and with some strong tackles from Schoolnight and Ferret, some good subbing by Spal, some silky skills from Sykes, some great saves by the Pussy, the team were playing well, but with some dubious shots going high and nowhere near the goal and some interesting keeping decisions we somehow conceded four more goals taking a 6-0 hit, The Dumpsters first game without a goal.
  
Stand-In Managers Review
"
A fitter/sober team would have given Starbucks more of a run but at least we managed to stop them from winning the league, by not conceding seven. "
  
To The Pub
With some members crying off home to get changed – Spal, Pussy and Schoolnight lead the forefront to a text-book bank holiday drinking session and with a woman – man ratio of 5:1 and pints of Stella costing £1.85 what could go wrong....
