vs Potter's Tigers (10th)
G: George Frederick
D: Kelly Robinson/Audwin Blackwood/Anderson Derrick/Lenny Hunte
M: Terrence Lewis/Bo Cochrane/Gayson Smith
S: Eugene Joseph/Kelly Matthew/Brentton Matthew

23 - Blackwood sent off with a double yellow. Great.

59 - Smith on the left side with a free kick, and he hits the long, high perfect shot to Brentton Matthew's head for the knock-in over the keeper 1-0

61 - We'll definitely take that fluke goal by Terrence Derrick for sure! 2-0

62 - Lewis for Robinson; George for Smith

66 - Their keeper must be the worst, because now Joseph snags a fluke goal! 3-0

Our defense was exceptional - bar banned Blackwood, every defender and our keeper had a 7.4 or higher, including Terrence Lewis. Also, all full-time starters except Kelly Matthew netted a 7.2 or better. Standouts: PotM Eugene Joseph (8.6) and Terrence Derrick (8.0).

@ Hoppers (5th)
G: George Frederick
D: Kelly Robinson/Chesley Henry/Anderson Derrick/Lenny Hunte
M: Connor Hughes-Mason/Bo Cochrane/Gayson Smith
S: Eugene Joseph/Kelly Matthew/Brentton Matthew

16 seconds - Smith dribbles and sends it to Joseph in the box. The 18 year old sidesteps two defenders and cracks the goal in! 1-0

59 - Benjamin in for Henry

66 - THAT WAS OFFSIDES, YOU FUCKING BLIND SHITLORD REF!!! Lewis on for Robinson. Ugh so pissed right now. 1-1

81 - Brentton Matthew passes left to Smith, who hits an exquisite diagonal pass to Joseph in the box. He's clear through and converts the 1v1 with ease 2-1

9.0 PotM performance by Gayson Smith, 8.8 by Eugene Joseph, and 7.5 by Bo Cochrane.

Piggotts Bullets continues to smash right through the opposition. But there is one small silver lining in it all - we've guaranteed that we can finish no worse than 2nd with 3 games to go.

vs SAP FC (4th)
G: George Frederick
D: Kelly Robinson/Audwin Blackwood/Anderson Derrick/Lenny Hunte
M: Connor Hughes-Mason/Bo Cochrane/Gayson Smith
S: Eugene Joseph/Kelly Matthew/Brentton Matthew

Benjamin replaces Hunte at half because I accidentally left Lewis out of the subs. We're playing like shit.

61 - Untold shot after shot has also clanged off the post, so when we get a set piece free kick just outside the box, Joseph delivers a true and hard strike that's right in the middle of the net 1-0

68 - We switch to a 3-4-3, with Kelly Matthew injured and poorly playing off in favor of Simon as second MC. But just before that happens, we're awarded an own goal insurance by the same guy who gave up the yellow card and free kick! 2-0

89 - Joseph runs into a wall of defenders in the half-circle, so he passes out right into space for Smith. The cross comes in and Brentton Matthew slots it away 3-0

All full-time starters except the keeper were 7.2 or better as we snap back after a shitty first half. 8+ stars are: Anderson Derrick (8.0), Gayson Smith (8.3), Eugene Joseph (8.7), and PotM Brentton Matthew (9.0).

With two games left, Brentton Matthew adds to his glowing records, now cracking 11 assists which is a new team and Premier Division record. Piggotts Bullets has smashed the old Premier Division team goals scored mark with 46.

It's February 1st and we've officially dipped into the red for the season. Not surprising because we haven't had the benefit of home games in the FA Cup.

@ Piggotts Bullets (2nd)
G: George Frederick
D: Kelly Robinson/Audwin Blackwood/Anderson Derrick/Lenny Hunte
M: Connor Hughes-Mason/Bo Cochrane/Jay Simon/Gayson Smith
S: Brentton Matthew/Kelly Matthew

We're without Eugene Joseph, who has such a nasty case of the flu, he's out 2-3 weeks. Absolutely devastating to miss one of our most valuable players in the most important game of the year. If we can pull off a miracle in beating these guys, we'll have locked up the title. Draw and it goes to the final game. Lose and it's pretty much over.

16 - Hunte throws in to Kelly Matthew and gets it back. Box delivery, and we get an own goal gift!!! 1-0

51 - Brentton Matthew dribbles through the defenders into the box and he taps off to Kelly Matthew. Defender slide tackles the ball away and the goalie stumbles trying to get to it. Hughes-Mason storms in and pops the clearance into the empty net, avenging on his old team! 2-0

66 - Henry in for Blackwood; Victor Matthew for Simon

82 - George for Hughes-Mason at the latter's request

7.7 PotM performance by Bo Cochrane and 7.5 by Connor Hughes-Mason. Two very costly mistakes by their defense, who was used to coasting through on their powerhouse attack, sealed our second straight Premier Division title!!!!!!!

vs Young Warriors (7th)
G: George Jarvis
D: Chesley Henry/Rolston Benjamin/Randolph Edwards/Terrence Lewis
M: Terrence Derrick/Walter Jeremy/Victor Matthew/Jermaine George
S: Brentton Matthew/Kelly Matthew

Desmond Kirwan and I get into it before the match because I'm laughing at everyone who is praising him for getting the club clear of relegation. I'm like um no, he's done a shit job of the dynasty and rightfully deserves to be under pressure, if not outright fired at the end of the year.

He says I'm jealous. What a joke. If I didn't want to keep my stars healthy for the FA Cup and the Caribbean Club Championship, I'd turn on the heat. As is, I'm making this a relaxing game for Fan Day, giving our backups some time to shine. The 600 fans we're expecting are no doubt upset it's the backups, but at least they get to see the star Matthew strikers up front (No relation).

3 - Yeah 0-1

50 - Smith and Jahraldo-Martin go in at the winger spots to try and salvage at least a tie here.

63 - What a joke this game is 0-2

@ Freemansville (FA cup Semi-final)
G: George Frederick
D: Kelly Robinson/Audwin Blackwood/Anderson Derrick/Gayson Edwards
M: Connor Hughes-Mason/Bo Cochrane/Jay Simon/Gayson Smith
S: Kelly Matthew/Brentton Matthew

37 - We're pushed back and Simon has a defender all over him. But he uses his backside to block the defender and pass the ball to Cochrane, who sends it into the box. Kelly Matthew is first to the loose ball and he puts it away. 1-0

65 - Blackwood moves out to DL; Benjamin comes in at DC, Simon goes off for Victor Matthew

92 - THAT WAS OFFSIDES, YOU FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!! OMG SECONDS BEFORE THE GAME ENDS SUCH BULLSHIT!!!! 1-1

95 - George is on for an exhausted Smith

117 - Edwards plays it down the right line for George and he grabs and dribbles. Center, and Brentton Matthew beats the defense and the keeper!!! 2-1

8.4 and PotM for Bo Cochrane, who was magnificent all game. Anderson Derrick saved us in extra time with power clearance and played to a 7.5.

Transfer Out - DLCR Calaum Abraham (27) - English Harbour - $7k/year contract
Was a starter during our run last season, but made way too much money and got lost in the shuffle this year. He's thrilled to go back to his old club and help them fight to stay up in a battle against teams that include Terrence Beckles' Grenades club, incidentally.

Loan Out - DCR Gayson Edwards (23) - Potter's Tigers - 100% Salary Paid
No brainer for a guy who couldn't establish himself. Like Abraham, he's going back to his old team.

Youth Signing - ST Tamorley Benjamin (16)
13 Dribbling, 11 Composure, 10 Decisions, 13 Work Rate, and almost all 11s in Physical Attributes. 4* Potential. Exciting player and just the pull we needed, as Kelly Matthew is giving off strong signals of wanting to play somewhere else next season.

@ West Ham (ATG) - FA Cup Final
G: George Frederick
D: Chesley Henry/Audwin Blackwood/Anderson Derrick/Lenny Hunte
M: Connor Hughes-Mason/Bo Cochrane/Gayson Smith
S: Eugene Joseph/Kelly Matthew/Brentton Matthew

Yep. Every.single.game. in our FA Cup defense we've been the road team. The bullshit is unbelievable, but it is what it is.

3 - Joseph's free kick is blocked by a wall leap, but he gets his rebound and single-handedly fights two defenders in a 1v2 matchup. He hangs on to the ball and blasts it into a narrow gap for the lead! 1-0

20 - Thanks for that double yellow, constantly going after Smith, dude!

26 - Cochrane to Hughes-Mason in the box. He's being hassled by two defenders, as these guys have gone after our wingers all game long. Lateral to Kelly Matthew, and here's the insurance. 2-0

33 - Hunte throws in to Cochrane, whose high ball into the box sees Joseph win the jump ball and head it in! 3-0

69 - Bleh. 3-1

70 - Immediate answer as Smith crosses to Hughes-Mason. Shot bounces off the bar, but the defender does a poor job of passing back to the keeper, allowing Hughes-Mason to nip in and put away the rebound 4-1

71 - 3-4-3 switch with Victor Matthew replacing Blackwood, who is playing injured. Lewis on for Hunte

Our second straight double. With the FA Cup money we'll once again be in the black for the year. Last season, after taxes, etc. were paid, we finished ~$15.5k in profit.

Audwin Blackwood will be back in time for our first Caribbean Club Championship match. Bo Cochrane probably won't, which is a tough ask - we're facing against a team who has been to the North American Champions League in this universe, and is making their third straight appearance in the Caribbean Club Championship.

But more on that, and our other foes, next time.
