Well, thats the first half of the season over. With no wins and only three draws so far, it's not looking good boys! Now that we're out of yet another cup, we can concentrate on the league ! There was a vast improvement on last weeks' performance and I can see that we've turned a corner. Hopefully, we can build on that perfomance and secure some points in the new year.
Parker and quite a few players turned up sober yesterday, and it made such a difference. I thought that we worked well as a team and everyone seemed motivated. We were very much in the game until the last ten minutes really. I would like to thank the referee for being consistent throughout the game, and also for not sending Parker off this week! Our two goals came from Nathan O'Kerin and little Johnny Gray (Dolly is his new nick name, it's what Ian's daughter calls him. Mugged off by a toddler, he he!). Jacko played a part in both goals and I thought he was a live wire for 90 minutes. Even though Jacko's 'pass' was really a shot, it went straight to Nathan and he buried it. Jacko won the penalty after he got brought down in the box. Little Johnny's goal was a rebound from his gash penalty kick which went straight at the keeper. Lucky for him, the keeper couldn't hold it. They scored four goals and one of those was scored by the monster of a sub they brought on, and he isn't shit now is he ?!?!?!? Another one was from the penalty spot after 'Dolly' decided to cut one of their players down in the box, idiot.
I think Alex 'The Slug' White a.k.a. One-Fat-Leg will have some competition round the pool table if he returns to the team. Karl, Eye-ball-Paul and Sharpy all knew their way round the pool table down the George and Dragon. If anyone bumps into Shaggy, try and get him back with the team. Last time I spoke to him he seemed really down about not getting a starting place in the team. If he'd have turned up yesterday, he could of had a full game probably. Competition for places is important in the team, in theory it should make you play better. STOP THE PRESS! The main man made his first appearance back in the red and black with three minutes left on the clock. Look out chumps it's going to be a fucking marvellous new year!
Last indoor training session is tomorrow evening at James Hornsby High School 7-8pm.
Next match is on Sunday 7th January against Sockett's Heath at, er, Sockett's Heath.
(That's Blackshots by the way, and it's a league away game, 09.45 am meet)
Hope the knee gets better Cairns. Do the exercises I told you to do then ice it up ok.

10/12/06: Concept 5 Vs Oaks Athletic 0
Within the first fifteen minutes, Concept had scored three goals. There were a number of contributing factors, but the one that stood out was the fact that Parker was totally shit-faced. After turning up late in his attire from the night previous, and forgetting his kit, he started in goal. He failed to mention that he couldn't see the ball until after the third goal pee-rolled into the goal. A fourth goal rolled in and then we were forced to make a change, and Sharpy volunteered to stand in between the sticks. Four to nil at half time, and in my opinion, all four of the goals were down to a lack of morale and lack of a desire to win. Obviously, the morale of the team had suffered due to the way Parker had let them down. Everyone in the team likes a drink, but a real team-player would have got his head sorted before the match. I'm sure all of us have turned up drunk before, no doubt.
After half time, Parker was running the line and failed to flag for a clear offside which led to the fifth goal. The second half was scrappy and Concept even managed to add insult to injury by giving all their fatties a run out.
This weeks Rant:
I just want to be part of a team where we don't let each other down. We need to be able to count on each other for those ninety minutes. We proved that we could pass the ball around and create chances. These moments where we looked like a decent footballing side were too few and far between, and sometimes it was the communication which was lacking. There were a lot of quiet players on sunday. I would like to see an improvement this sunday in the cup. I would like to see a good team performance using these key aims:

- Team togetherness and communication
- Passing (to feet, a simple pass is still a good pass) and moving into space
- Creating goal scoring chances
- A burning desire to win the game
- Good player positioning, particularly when defending
- Do not let frustration get the better of your judgement
If we don't play as a team, we'll be out of another cup, and won't have won a single game in the whole first part of the season. Do you really want that to happen?

26/11/06: Essex Wanderers 4 Vs Oaks Athletic 1
We scored early on in the game, against the run of play. A corner was swung into the far post by the outside of Jacko's right foot. This cross caused mass confusion in the box and I believe that the ball was eventually bundled into the net by Robo-Robin Lawrence. This goal came after the opposition had hit the woodwork twice from free-kicks around the edge of our penalty area. Parker was sent off for two bookable offences (from the Ref's point of view) and Jacko (who had already got booked for a late tackle) volunteered to mind the goal. This left Danny up front on his own, getting increasingly frustrated and eventually getting booked.
A number of things came to light whilst I was watching this weeks game (due to hamstring injury). As soon as we started yesterdays game, we seemed to forget how to make simple 10 yard passes to feet and also how to make space for your team-mates in order to receive the ball. This was partly due to another problem, some players did not even want the ball and didn't even seem interested. None of these problems were present in the way the opposition played and this made it glaringly obvious when Oaks had possession of the ball (albeit not for long). I don't remember seeing any one-two's performed by Oaks throughout the whole match.
One more pet-hate which was observed, was certain players leaving their position to chase lost causes and therefore leaving a bloody great hole in the defence. Lets communicate better with our team-mates to shift the midfield across to cope with extra players out wide. Basically, we need to work as a team better. I know it's easy to say all this from the sideline, but it is constructive criticism. We can work together, we've proved it before, and we can do it again. There's two games before Christmas, lets turn those into six points! Come On!

19/11/06: Oaks Athletic 0 Vs Concept 'B' 1
Had plenty of chances to score goals, didn't take them. They took both of their chances, but the ref only let them have one of them due to a very dubious offside decision. Still, one turned out to be enough for them.
I'm not writing much about this game as I'm still mega-pissed off about pulling my hamstring muscle just before half time.
It's neck and neck on this season's top scorer's list, who's going to make a break for glory?
(Well, it would be nice if someone could get a shot on target this week!)

12/11/06: Jack's Lads 6 Vs Oaks Athletic 2
Barely scraping eleven players together to start the match was bad enough, and then I find out that we don't have a referee for the match. Within the first five minutes of the match Robin Lawrence received a headbutt from Long Gollum and went down injured. This shocked all of us. If Rob stays down, you know it must have hurt! He had claret pouring out from a gash just above his right eye, this was the first gash that Gollum had seen this season! Da-Dum-Tush!
Anyway, Rob had to go off, leaving ten on the pitch. Chris Andrews was forced to get changed in order to join Dean at the back. By the time he was changed though, we were already under the cosh and 1-0 down. Jack's Lads increased their lead to 2-0 and that's how it remained at half time. Steve had insisted that Johnny Gray should man-mark the little fella up-front. This proved to be a decision which I completely disagreed with. After catching him offside at least ten times last week, we were now giving him the run of the park as our defence sat on the 18 yard line, playing every cunt onside. Despite the man-marking tactics he managed to net himself a tidy hat-trick. Kind of hints that it didn't work doesn't it?
Anyway, they scored six and most of them were down to bad defending throughout the team. Although I have to say that the lad who kicked the ball straight up in the air from the halfway line is just lucky. It was just an 'ave it clearance that beat our dozy keeper. He had players in front of him and I dare say that he couldn't even see the goal from where he lumped the ball.
As for our two goals, Jacko's finish from distance was class and Streetboy's finish beat their keeper second time lucky.
We need a better turn-out every week if we want to remain competitive for 90mins each week. There will be some constructive piss-taking over the next week or so, directed at some of the lads who didn't turn up because they 'had a hangover' or whatever.

05/11/06: Oaks Athletic 0 Vs Jack's Lads 1 (aet)
Weather: Sunny
Pitch condition: Long grass. Thurrock council have complete idiots in control of their lawnmowers. They had cut the grass back-to-front! Cut the grass on the pitch and leave the rest, not the other way round!
This league cup match was closely contested one until one of Jack's Lads finally beat our offside trap in the second half of extra time, and lobbed Parker from distance. And to be fair to him, he did take it well. With about ten minutes left on the Referee's watch, we tried our utmost to score an equaliser. We had lots of opportunities during those ten minutes, but it wasn't to be.
As far as the ref is concerned, we all know that the referee in question is without doubt all the things that one or two Jack's Lads players shouted in his face. It's just that we've already experienced in recent years that swearing at the ref is just not tolerated anymore.
Eye-Ball Paul WATCH: Picked up some dog turd off the pitch that had just been curled out by a fairly large hound while it's old tosser of an owner just stood there. You are a hero Paul, a real Sooper-Dooper-Pooper-Scooper !

29/10/06: Oaks Athletic 0 Vs Belhus Park 0
Everything was all set for a nice game of football. Nice weather, plenty of grass on the pitch (bit long in places - sort it out Thurrock Council!) and a good turn out of players. There were some decent passing moves in the first half and both teams had some goal scoring chances, but no-one could find the net. Coming closest for the Oaks was Deano, with a header which found the top of the crossbar from a Danny Allen corner. I have to say that it was our final ball into the box that let us down continually throughout the game. If we could improve on this, I believe that we could create far more opportunities for our strikers.
The second half was marred by a confrontation between Sharpy and the opposition's captain. Both of whom were sent off, along with one of the subs from the opposition. This spoilt the game and I didn't expect Sharpy to let everyone down after his pre-season statement: "I'm a changed man, I'm not going to anything like that anymore." His disciplinary record begs to differ.
I want everyone to remember that they are part of a team and as members of that team, you should support each other by being responsible for your actions. The best thing to do, is to think, before the red mist comes down and clouds your judgement. Is continuing to stand after being head-butted instead of going to ground like a sack of shit really going to help the team? Think about it lads. What do we want out of this? Do we want to win games of football? Score goals? Win divisions/leagues/cups? Or have minor scuffles with the opposition every week? If fighting is what you want to do, have a go in the ultimate fighting competitions or something, because I couldn't care less.

Testing
Just seeing if there is any space left on this blog. There should be. If there isn't I'm gonna go and get my shotgun and kick up a stink!
22/10/06: Berman 1 Vs Oaks Athletic 1
Berman took the game to us in the first half, having the lion's share of the possession. We managed to net a goal with our first corner, which was taken by Danny Allen. Dan whipped it into the near post for Super Sharpy to head home his first goal of the season. Some of the lads pointed out to me after the game that the ball may not have been struck by Sharpy, more like Sharpy was struck by the ball! Nevertheless, it doesn't matter how they go in, as long as the go in. About five minutes before half time, Berman equalised with a soft goal from a long throw that should have been dealt with. For the next 45 minutes, we defended well and showed a lot of character to battle through the half and earn a point. Admittedly our attacking and simple passing was severely lacking, but this did help us drag them down to our level on the day. One can only hope that our lads remember how to pass and move next sunday...
We are at home on Sunday 29/10/06 at Blackshots against Belhus Park.
Parker Watch: Kept very busy by the opposition, caught well throughout the game.
Danny Allen Watch: Injured towards the end of the match, ice it up!

Tuesday night training
I was very disappointed with the turn-out last Tuesday night (only seven, and only six the first week) and I am hoping for a few more people to turn up this coming Tuesday.
Having said that, it was a good hour-long workout for the lads who did come along (both weeks) and I like to think that they all took something away with them to think about and/or work on. I would also like to thank them for really putting it in for the full hour.
Just to finalize the cost of the sports hall, here are the details:
Initial block booking of 4 weeks: £140 (140/4= £35)
Up front payment of £10 from each player who wants to train split into 4 weeks of £2.50
If there is a similar turn-out this week, then we'll have to look into cancelling the sports hall or increasing the cost for those who do come along - I will take votes tonight if this is the case.
The match is at Palmer's college this sunday 22/10/06

Oaks Athletic 2 Vs Essex Wanderers 4
The opening goal of the match was simply a 'hair-flick' by the Oaks Captain from a Danny Allen throw-in. The opposition stretched the Oaks team and scored an equalizer, and then another before half time. The match was closely fought until around the 70 minute mark when Essex Wanderers scored another two goals in about five minutes. Unfortunately, Deano's late goal could only be seen as a consolation goal in the scheme of things. It's a shame because it was a great team-move with lots of inter-passing, build up play and in Deano's case, running off the ball. The Referee was much improved on past performances, getting 99% of his decisions right. He did say to me before the match that he had been re-trained during the summer months and that it had... changed him. Suggestions that there was an operation involved are just speculation. The league and the F.A. will be pleased though, as he booked six of the opposition for dissent toward the referee (Rumour has it that a percentage of the fines collected are used to fund a referee's piss-up each year - nice). Credit to our lads for being early and putting the goals up and also for staying disciplined throughout the match. Let's hope that we can have more players available for selection at the next match, and give the gaffer a selection-headache, maybe for the first time!

Cross Keys Chadwell 1 Vs Oaks Athletic 1
The first game of the season resulted in a one all draw. This means we're off the mark already lads! Lets see if we can continue our unbeaten run! Kenny Graves opened precedings with a cracking shot across the keeper that easily found the far corner of the Key's net. It has to said that the referee made some quite bizarre decisions throughout the match, one of them in particular was awarding Key's with a penalty for some pushing in the box. I was under the impression that if a player commits a technical foul in the box, then it requires the ref to take disciplinary action. He took no such action, until Deano was calling him useless and telling him to F*** Off ! Jonny Gray was also booked for about half a dozen dodgy mis-timed challenges. The game died a death towards the end really, what with the bloke with a shotgun turning up and threatening some of the players with it.....his mum was there too, and I was glad she didn't get her big buoys out as she kept saying!!!

Mid-week Indoor Training...Tuesdays 7-8pm
I have organised a sports hall (James Hornsby High School, Laindon) for us to train inside during the winter months of the season. As much as it is good to get used to the elements (and heavy mis-timed slide tackles), I believe that indoor five-a-side football increases the speed and accuracy of passing within the team, therefore helping us to dictate the tempo of the game when we have the ball on matchdays. I did try to obtain a Wednesday slot, but this wasn't possible so close to the start of the season.
The first training session will be Tuesday 3rd October at 19.00 pm - 20.00 pm at James Hornsby High School Sports Hall.
When I have received the invoice, I will finalise the costs with the Gaffer and post them up on here ok.
Anyone got one of those fluffy indoor footballs?

Danny invites whole football team to Heather's 21st birthday shocker!
The whole team (with or without WAGS) has been cordially invited to celebrate Heather's 21st birthday in Covent Garden this Saturday. There will be a joyous amount of booze flowing, so if you're up for it, take your mobile phone with you and contact Danny (unless you already have Heather's number) in order to find out his exact location. He said that he'd be about from around six in the evening - it's gonna be a heavy one!
Milesy has appealed to everyone who hasn't brought their photo's (two, passport size) along for their signing-on forms to bring them THIS Sunday, or face the subs bench at the beginning of the season...
Also, I believe he is seeking an able-bodied referee for this weeks game too... Any volunteers?

Oaks Athletic 0 Vs Jurgens Sports 2
The third friendly match before the start of the new season was against Jurgens Sports, whom we have played against a few times in the past. This time however, it seemed that they had gathered a large squad of players for the fixture. If they have indeed signed all of those players, then I believe that they have a good chance of achieving something this year.
Opportunities were created by the Oaks team but we failed to capitalise on them. The best chance fell to Jonny Gay who decided that it was best to shoot straight at the goalie, when his compadre Nathan O'Kerin was standing on the six yard line screaming for a square pass for an easy tap in. One day our team will suddenly realise that its a team game and goals will fly in from directions !!!
It has to be said that this was the biggest physical game that Oaks have contended in during this pre-season build up. A percentage of the Oaks team got very frustrated by the aggressive nature of the opposition, and one individual was sent from the pitch. This aside, the game gave our defenders something to think about going into the next weeks game against 'Tacho' (spelling could be wrong - sorry). Another defensive test awaits the Oaks team at the Thames RFC ground next sunday @11am (10.15 meet).
PLAYER CAMS
JACKO WATCH: Saw him leave the pitch.
IAN WATCH: Gave some verbal to to opposition when Jacko had an early shower.
CAIRNS WATCH: Made the keeper work but still hasn't broke his duck.
GOLLUM WATCH: Pulled his hamstring before the match, carried on regardless. Going to be a painful week for him. ouch.
ROBO-KEN WATCH: What a hero, always seemed to be there to clear it. Apart from the two goals that is.
(New Player) EYE-BALL-PAUL WATCH: Showed to be a neat player, will definitely making sure he signs up this season! (He has a black eye from last weeks game, just to explain the new nick-name).

Friendly: Oaks Ath 4- Corrington 2
A Hat-Trick by Super Streetboy restored Acorn pride after a sloppy opening period which saw Oaks 2-0 down.
Corrington started the brighter of the two teams on this waterlogged Sunday morning. With all this rain the ground was soft but still brown! That bloke who is also seen in the Oaks pub on a regular basis scored a cracker after some indecisive defending. A poor mistake at the back by Chris Andrews let in some small fast bloke who slotted home past parker. It wasn't looking good for the Oaks.
A few substitutions by Oaks tactically aware manager improved matters. Streetboy arrived on the scene with a Hat-Trick, then got substituted as the bar was open!
Gollum settled matters with a neat shin-roll after some decent route-one football, which seems to be Oaks strongpoint!
Poor new boy Paul got welcomed to the team by hard-head Ian PITTS....
IAN WATCH - Ian remained calm during the game and did well after coming on! Make sure you get out of his way if you here him call for the ball.
JACKO WATCH - Almost pissed the other team off as he didn't give the ball back to them, instead pretending to run at the goalie before kicking the ball off! Jacko also went in goal, were he showed his grobbelar skills by taking on a few forwards.
KEIRNS WATCH - Danny got one chance in front of goal but scuffed it wide with his left foot. When will he score?
Next Week there shall be another friendly, im sure someone will tell me where and when? There needs to be better passing and movement from everybody.

Team Photographs...
All players will be required to attend the last of the friendly matches before the start of this season, in order to have their photo taken. At present, the last friendly match will be either 10th or 17th September. Ideally, all players should turn up for every match. But as long as beer is still served in the pub on saturday evenings (and Alton Towers is still open weekends), this is highly impossible.

Oaks Athletic 1 Vs William Ball 0
The seventeen Oaks Athletic players pulled on the Red 'n' Black for the first pre-season friendly to lock horns with William Ball. It was clear to see in the first five minutes that the game would be close, with William Ball showing that they had some players who could show a bit of skill. These skills were largely shown individually and produced little gain for their team. In the first half, William Ball came close with a one on one with Parker, but luckily enough Parker has the ability to make the goal look very small indeed when he comes running towards you! Miles made plenty of changes throughout the game due to the high pitch temperature and because he could. The gaffer seemed pleased with the result apart from the half-hearted strike by Gollum. It was a text-book move with Cairns and O'Kerin executing a perfect one-two then providing a golden opportunity for Gollum, which he took too long to control before getting his shot away. In the bar after the game he said: "The best is yet to come!".
The only goal of the game came from Danny Allen after a massive airshot which had the defenders shielding their faces. Before they had realised that he hadn't actually kicked the ball, he had coolly finished at the second attempt.

Portugal V England Quarter Final
I feel sorry for the dutch, I think they should have got a goal at least and the match to go into extra time. It turned into a bit of a farce at the end. The refs are very card happy in this tournament thats for sure. The players dont seem to notice though, because they are so fired up to win. Good news for England - C.Ronaldo might not be fit, and as Deco got sent off, he misses the England match. So although England did not play brilliantly, they have a good chance against Portugal. They will need to improve their final ball and be more clinical in front of goal. Lets just hope Sven can pick the right players this time! Crouch needs to play as the target man, and Rooney should be allowed to do what he wants!

Brazil V Australia
It is just before Australia v Brazil in the Group phase of the World Cup.
Ronaldo goes into the Brazilian changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit glum.
"What's up?" he asks.
"Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this game. We know it's important but it's only Australia. They're sh*te and we can't be bothered".
Ronaldo looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself, you lads go down the pub."
So Ronaldo goes out to play Australia by himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars.
After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so they get the landlord to put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Brazil 1 - Australia 0 (Ronaldo 10minutes)". He is beating Australia all by himself!
Anyway, a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's see how he got on". They put the teletext on. "Result from the Stadium "Brazil 1 (Ronaldo 10 minutes) - Australia 1 (Kewell 89 minutes)".
They can't believe it, he has single headedly got a draw against Australia!! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands.
He refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down."
"Don't be daft; you got a draw against Australia, all by yourself. And they only scored at the very, very end!"
"No, No, I have, I've let you down... wait for it >>>>

World Cup Rules For the Ladies
Extremely important advice and recommendations to be passed on to wives, girlfriends, fiancés, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc. (to all women in general) These rules are to be communicated prior to the World Cup in June/July this year...
LIST OF RULES
1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.
2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).
3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.
4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it wont happen.
5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.
6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement"
will only lead to a break up or divorce.
7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying "one" game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".
8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.
9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.
10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.
11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".
12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc etc.
Thank you for your cooperation.

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.
9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.
10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.
11. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".
12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Spanish League, Premier League, etc etc.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Oaks Random XI - 0 Jacks Boys 3
Well I think that was the score, I couldnt give a rats ass!
Our team was picked at random. But I ended up in the same position. Doh
Goal - Jacko
LB - Parker
CB - O' Kerin
CB - Milesy
RB - Coley
LM - Chang
CM - Keirns
CM - Deano
RM - Gray
CF - Ken The Legend
CF - Chris
Went in 0-0 at half time. Jacks Lads somehow missed a shitload of chances. Their huge old defenders were not impressed with the ginger one. They did go on to get a few goals though, somehow lobbing the short-ass goalie with one effort.
I cant remember one goal as I was down injured (you cunts). The ref even kicked off when I was still limping back. It was a real injury as I couldnt sleep or walk the next day. It is still swollen! Bloody pitch!
At some point the league table might get updated... we can only hope.
Well it was a fun filled season wasnt it lads. So say we all, and all that

West Ham In the Cup Final
I think i'll be down the oaks for the cup final.... after readign this. No chance getting tickets unless you are a season ticket holder. Fair enough.
"West Ham United will occupy the South End of the Millennium Stadium (the same as our last two visits for the Play Off finals)
The allocation will be in the region of between 23-24,000. This is the same for Liverpool also.
Ticket prices are £90, £65 and £50 with no concessions or £25 Adults and £12.50 under 16s and seniors.
Tickets will only be sold to current season ticket holders. It is unlikely tickets will be sold to club members, and they will certainly not reach a general sale.
We expect to be in a position to confirm selling arrangements for the final at around 1.00pm today."

Football Team Comparison
Fulham - Charlotte Church: Proof that money can't buy you class. But
could look more attractive if the Welsh bloke was given the elbow.
Birmingham - Pamela Anderson: Used to look good in the cups but now a
declining force. Plus millions of people watched them get a good seeing
to.
Wigan - Davina McCall: Poor attendances confirm they've been promoted
above their ability.
Portsmouth - Girls Aloud: Only one real class act among the hastily
assembled line-up. You shouldn't like them but admit it, you've sneaked
the occasional admiring glance.
Sunderland - Kerry Katona: Once the people's favourite but now an
embarrassment. Fun while it lasted - now disappear from where you came,
please.
Spurs - Keira Knightley: Undeniably easy on the eye with an attractive
English spine. And proof that two little ones up front needn't be a
drawback.
Everton - Dannii Minogue: The poor relation to the more glamorous
sibling. Can anyone remember when it was they were supposed to be any
good?
Arsenal - Jordan: Were more likeable when they weren't packed out with
expensive foreign implants.
Newcastle - Jodie Marsh: Impressive front two but embarrassing at the
back. Had surgery but need a lot more work to compete at a higher level.
Aston Villa - Dido: Bland, boring and still trading off the one big hit
they had years ago.
Liverpool - Sophie Ellis-Bextor: Individually all the components look
great but stick them together and it just doesn't work.
Chelsea - Rachel Stevens: You'd rather just watch them than listen to
all that painful whining.
West Ham - Vicky Pollard: Nothing more needs saying as a teams fans
speak for themselves - Chav's in Chav's clothing
Bolton - Clare Balding: You wouldn't. Not even if they were the last
team on earth

Oaks Athletic 2 Aspect United 1
Oaks carried on their winning ways with a victory on that dodgy pitch at Fobbing against Aspect. Last time we played there [Essex Wanderers] it was a mud bath, this time it was like playing on concrete! I have sore feet today.
Oaks had another Bare Bones XI out there, with no subs at all. We need more players to turn up next week at home to Storm.
Oaks got off to a good start, with little Coley finishing well after a goalmouth scramble. The next goal came from Jackson, who continued in his rich vein of scoring form. The finish was not as special as last time, as it was a shin-roll. But they all count. Jackson was made captain for this match, and he led the side well, even tracking back to fill in for old man Jeff at points.
Aspect came out fighting in the second half, and with some well timed substitutes against Oaks tired legs got them back into the match. Some awful defending by Oaks let Aspect in, with a good ball across for an easy finish. This led to a nervy end to the game, but Oaks managed to hold on for the win.
Note: Please Tell Me Current top Scorers, I cannot remember if I updated it last week. I think Jackson is owed a couple and the Gollum one, and doesnt cole have a couple.

Oaks Athletic 2 Hilltop 0
Another Victory for the Oaks, once the table is updated I will post it here!
A black dog in the dressing game did not prove to be an ill-omen for Oaks.
The game was 0-0 at half time, with Hilltop creating some good chances but with Mr Parker pulling out some excellent saves.
In the second half oaks threatened from throw-ins and corners, and exventually got a goal with gollum using his crouch-esque height advantage to head it in at close range.
Oaks carried on battling in the middle of the park, and the ball fell to the feet of Jackson who had plenty of space to let off a thunderous shot from ~35 yards. The keeper had no chance as it almost broke the net. Oaks hung on and defended well to hold on untill the end of the game.

Oaks Athletic 2 Essex Wanderers 0
The game looked like it might be called off today. Several other games were called off due to the white lines not being visible enough on the pitches. I think it was mainly that it was a bit chilly out there. Poofs.
The manly referee decided to carry on with the game after discussing with grounds keeper willy! We had a late kick off, which managed to piss the other team off a bit.
The wind was quite bad, I know as my hands were frozen on the sideline in the first half. Me and Ian had to snuggle to keep warm. Anyway...... lets talk about the football.
A quick free kick was taken by Jackson, which Mr Cole dummied and somehow the keeper missed it. 1-0 to the acorns! The other team were riled by this, they dont like it up-em. They started getting more concerned about the amazing referee than their own game of football. The back four were outstounding today, as was parker, who maanged to catch the ball in difficult conditions.
In the second half the amazing super sub keef, came on to score with pretty much his first touch! It was a left foot screamer into the top corner aswell. Gollum set up the chance with a low cross what the keeper palmed into Horwood Juniors path.
There were many shouts about it being offside, which it wasnt, and one of their team members got sent off. After that the game was a farce and Oaks had it well and truley won. A good result. 5 games to go.

Defoe Arrested - Exclusive Photo!
Jermaine Defoe was arrested this afternoon, after eagle-eyed cops caught him cycling on the pavement near his London home. Defoe was carried by the law-team for a while before being dropped. A bit like his season at Tottenham really!

Hiltop 1 Oaks Athletic 2
There was a severe lack of refereeing today, but luckily the game did not turn too scrappy.
Another game of two halves for the Oaks this week. The first half the Oaks battled uphill, which is never easy. A throughball split the defence and allowed the often offside Hiltop striker to nip in and score. Oaks trailed at the break 1-0 but we knew that kicking downhil would help in the second half. A Jackson thunder strike in the top corner dented the Hilltop ego early on. The second goal was bundled in by A. Bellend, who played for their team.
Several offsides later and the game was over, phew. I now have a sore red ear due to Deano the Rhino.
I make it that oaks have 30 points and not the 23 it says on the thurrock league website at the time of writing.

Essex Wanderers 2 Oaks Athletic 2
Maybe this was the first game played in drizzling conditions this season, but it was probably one of the more difficult tests of football for the Oaks team. The pitch was a mudbath with waterlogged areas. It also seemed a wide pitch, with a lot of space. Mud kind of hampers use of this space. Anyway, enough about mud.
The first half was hard fought, and a defensive blunder cost oaks a soft goal at the back. Oaks managed to get a goal back before half time with a hard and low corner from Jackson, which caused confusion in the box. A flick with one of Long Gollum's huge boots and the ball was in the net. 1-1 at the interval.
In the second half Essex Wanderers held posession well in the middle of the park, but Oaks still looked dangerous on the break. One of the long shots by Wanderers took a deflection and wrong footed Parker and it went into the corner of the net.
Not long after this Oaks got another goal after a quick counter attack. An accurate pass fromJ. Gray O' KERIN carved a hole in the defence which Jackson took in his stride and levelled matters with a clinical finish.
Oaks held out until the end, with several chances from both sides not amounting to much. The league table should be interesting in a few games time.
For the next three weeks we are playing at blackshots. Next week we are playing Hilltop.

Oaks Athletic 3 Azzuri 1
Oaks started very poorly today, and went a goal down in the first half to an Azzuri team who looked right up for this match. It was another 'game of two halves' for the Oaks though. At half time Jackson came off. His back was hurting, he missed an open goal but he didnt miss one of their players. He also hid my shoe. He really is rubbish!
Streetboy replaced the lucklustre Jackson, and keefy Boy came on to go in Left Midfield. Deano the Rhino was then placed back in defence, with Kierns taking over his role in the centre of midfield. The tactical changes were inspired, a bit like an uglier Jose Mourinho and his Chelski.
Oaks enjoyed much more possession and many more chances. Time and space allowed the team to pressure Azzuri's defence. Gollum fired in after a goal-mouth scramble, which gave Oaks the confidence and boost they needed. Jeffy Archer was again on top form, with a weaving run into the pentalty area, whereupon he was upended. It was not a dive! Streetboy finished the resulting penalty with aplomb. Two-One OAKS!
The next goal started with another Mazy run by jeffy, who spread the play out wide to nathan. Nathan chipped into the box back to Jeff who had carried on his run. No mistake from the old timer - 3-1.
The Game Was Over. This win was dedicated to Lee Gray, who is our right back Jonny Grays brother. Lee was tragically killed last week in a car accident. The Oaks team offer Jonny & family our full support and condolences. A minutes silence was held before the game out of respect for Lee.

Must Win Game On Sunday
Or is there?
Who are we playing? Is it home to Azzuri?
We need to get our goal difference up and a result will push us up into the Top 4. I'm guessing though because Mr Thurrock Sunday League hasn't updated the FA full time website.

Whiteside 1 Oaks Athletic 3
During a tough first half Oaks conceded a headed goal to the shortest player on the pitch. With the wind against Oaks first half, they worked hard and went in at half time one nil down. With the wind, and the game still to play for, Oaks brought the game to Whiteside (who did only have ten men, one of those was playing with a broken rib..).
A Jackson free kick was whipped in from the right and O'Kerin rose like a salmon and headed the ball into the top right corner to level the scoring.
Oaks made the most of the blustery conditions by launching their throw-ins into the oppositions box at every given opportunity. This proved a very good tactic and O'Kerin fired home a volley in at the near post after a defensive error by Whiteside. Claims for offside were waved away by the referee and the goal was given.
Yet another long throw provoked a scramble in the Whiteside box, with Rick firing a shot directly at Jonny Horwood, which happened to deflect straight to Gollum. Gollum finished in style by placing a volley into the roof of the net.
With most of the top teams in the division now having lost four games, this result throws the league wide open. It's there for the taking, Come on Oaks !!!!
Jonny Horwood
This is why Special K was not there..
Next week at home to azzurri?

Oaks Athletic 2 Storm 5
Storm were lucky this game. Their pitch is shite, it is a mud bath which is imposssible to run uphill on. So of course they kicked down in the first half, got a few lucky goals, and knobbled half of our team. Bastards.
Got a couple of goals back in the second half and played some decent football. It was a shame but thats football for you. We will get them on our pitch next time. Oh yes.
Scorers. D Lawrence and D. Street (pen).
I can see the ideal team in my mind at the moment.
Left Wing - Jacko
Forwards - Street & Lawrence
Middle - Horwood & Rick
Right wing - Nathan
Defence, Jeff, Alex, Deano or Rob & J. Gray.
Just my opinion.. don't hit me. Next week we are at the same pitch (groan) facing Dog & Partridge. COME ON LADS!!

Oaks Athletic 3 - Stagecoach 0
Oaks cruised to an easy 3-0 win over Stagecoach in the first match after the festive mid-season break.
Oaks went in at half time leading 1-0, thanks to a looping header by Alex White from a free kick taken by Jeffy Archer. Here is a picture of AL.
In the second half Streety replaced Gollum up front. After some brilliant passing and movement, oaks took apart Stagecoach's defence with aplomb. Street squared to Jackson who thundered a shot past the pot-belly keeper.
Oaks defended well and worked hard. A few players had chances, with nobby hitting the bin next to the goal. Several more substitutions were made, with D Lawrence replacing Jackson. Some brilliant work by Streety at closing down the defenders resulted in a neat one-two with Lawrence, then streety slotted home with his left boot in clinical fashion.
The game was pretty much over at this point but Streety came close near the end of the game with a looping lob over the keeper which hit the upright.
