Livingstone Academicals 5-0 RECREATIVO 28.11.10.

The Recreativo Party is over. Gatecrashed, ransacked, smashed. Pillaged by a group of suave sassy French boys, the balloons popped, the drinks stolen, the celebrations brought to an abrupt halt. How did we dare believe for one minute that we were going to win the league, or at least give it a bloody good go? On an absolutely frozen Regents Park pitch, we were taken apart, made to look bloody fools.
It wasn't a good start, a flat tyre on the car five minutes before heading off. Then the realization that we'd forgotten half the kit. A rock solid pitch and a knob head refereeing in a pair of shades.
The strikers moaned about the defence, the defence moaned about the strikers and well, everybody always moans about the poor midfield! 3-0 down at half time, we pressed a lot harder in the second half. However, Livingstone's keeper only had long range efforts to deal with. And that was that. We are absolutely brilliant one week, then fall apart the next. One minute we're all dancing, all singing, inviting our mates to the league winners party. The next it feels like mum and dad have got home early, turned on the lights and told everybody to fuck off home. We grabbed our coats and got out quick.
Team: James Humphreys, Mario Pisano (John Megaughin), Chris Read, Joe Haley, Jimmie Gregory (Tino), Benson Chambers, David Dike, Aaron Gayle, Connor Joseph, Max Bland, Liam Greenaway.
