Mikos commits future to WNSS

Perfect timing from the midfield dynamo, as he commits himself to another 12 months at WNSS; all to the delight of the management.
"Clearly its a much needed shot in the arm as the new season approaches. We desperately need people who can actually pick a pass, control the ball, and maybe take on a man. Its great for us that he's given the bird to ADFC. We'll have them for this illegal approach....."
There was further good news in the signature of the new "CAT". Initial reports suggest that he does at least have an basic understanding of the game, and knows at which end to stand. This is in stark contrast to Il Gatto, who seemed to struggle with the rudimentary principles; we can only reminisce wistfully about his David James-esque flappings and all-round penalty-box incompetance. Whilst he was undoubtedly a great shot stopper, the risks of him rugby tackling the opposition striker on the halfway line was too great. The demise of Il Gatto is well publicised, as we know his career with WNSS was cut short after a near-fatal car accident left the erstwhile onion-bag guard with a severe case of the DT's. Sources within the club revealed that a dressing-room clash with Stella was the real reason for Il Gatto's departure. Whatever the details, the new signing can only be good news. Is this the dawn of an new era?

WNSS big names on the clearout list?


"Are you feeling lucky punk, well are you?" Pistol Pete keeps his watchful eye on the wheeling and dealing that is the foundation of every Moss Farm 7's closed season. Keen to consolidate and strengthen his squad he was very guarded at the WNSS press conference yesterday. When asked about the goalkeeping situation, which has been the achilles heel of recent seasons, he was quite upbeat; "Dave's mate might do us a turn, except noone seems to have his phone number." However he was less enthusiastic about the enigmatic mis-firing Flames. "You can't put weight on like that and expect to mix it at this level. What in christs name is he doing to himself?" The rumour mill can only be kicked into overdrive by these accusations. Could Flames be on his way? Could he be the make-weight to bring "ACE" to WNSS? What an ignominious end to a glittering career that would be.
