The Super A’s squad for Sunday’s matches is currently:

Bocchi A
Bocchi J

Hawkins
Hodgkiss
Kimberley
McInerney
Reid (one-off celebrity guest appearance from the West Midlands speed merchant)

As this is a two-match Sunday the fee is of course doubled. For eight players it’ll be £8-a-pop (8 x 8 is of course 64 – the additional £4 will go towards a new ball, as the old one is buggered).

Fans’ favourite sidelined through injury?

Duncan On A Spaz Wagon
“Injury is no excuse for letting oneself go”

Five appearance legend Turner, still suffering from the injury problems that have plagued him this season, is a major doubt for next week’s exciting double header against Unsung Heroes and the spastics.

“The ankle has been killing me all season, hand sheathes or no hand sheathes,” he protested, during an open training session this morning. “Bed rest and drink, that’s what I need.”

Sporting Apostrophes Logo

The Sporting Apostrophes official club badge was unveiled today at a packed press conference in east London.

Any die-hard Apostrophes fan will immediately recognise the significance of the various components of the badge; to help the ignorant:

  • The badge boasts an officially licensed likeness of Pele, smiling broadly after yet another devastating Super A’s performance.
  • The two golden footballs represent Pele’s generous, loving plums (refer to the history section of this website for more information).
  • The motto “A ATROX INIQUITAS” – “A terrible injustice” in Latin.
  • The badge features three gold stars, the meaning of which is a terrible, terrible secret.

Officially licensed merchandise will be available from all good sports retailers shortly.

Match report: Sporting Apostrophes vs FC Mackenhegan

Posted under Match reports

John Barnes And Kimberley-1

“Kimberley, with boyfriend-mentor John Barnes, quaffs Lucozade by the quart to quench his irrepressible manthurstiness”

The mesmerising eight-goal thriller against FC Mackenhegan (FCM) yesterday ended in a convincing victory for the Super A’s.

“Outstanding, our first victory!” enthused chairman Ernest Borgnine, whilst thumbing his glans through his trousers. “It brought a tear to the eye of my anus.”

With Hawkins donning the famous hand sheathes, the Apostrophes kicked off with a familiar line-up, augmented with an extra helping of Italian meat by way of Bocchi A, brother of defensive danger-man Bocchi J. With in-form striker Kimberley, midfield maestro Bonell and “sick note” McInerney completing the line-up, a football extravaganza of much excellence was anticipated by the capacity crowd of genuine, real life fans.

Despite the presence of siblings, brotherly love was not in abundance during the first few minutes of the match. An innocuous challenge by Bocchi A enraged FC Mackenhegan’s talismanic captain Fat Rollo, who proceeded to burst the seams of his skin-tight shirt with his man-fury. Gibb, his luxurious hair and beard officiating the Super A’s yet again, controlled the testosterone-fuelled outburst admirably, condemning Fat Rollo to the stands for the remainder of the half.

The Apostrophes, calmer than an anaethetised paraplegic pensioner in a straight-jacket, proceeded to stroke the leather sphere around with great beauty, arousing the innumerable fans. FCM soon succumbed to the Super A’s entrancing “total football” – their virginal onion bag was brutally violated by a virile Kimberley, his purple patch of form throbbing like the vein on a monster’s penis.

FCM pegged back a solitary goal thanks to an unjust penalty, leaving the Apostrophes to return to the opulent luxury of their dressing room at half time with a commanding 4-1 lead.

With victory assured, the second half saw the Super A’s exercise their significant manliness and superiority at a canter. Hawkins impressed the genuinely voluminous crowd with a string of top draw saves; his trademark testicular “nad-save” late in the game was definitely one for the already bulging “Heroic Saves” scrapbook. Absent due to an orgy of drunkenness, 5-appearance legend Turner was but a distant memory to the partizan crowd.

Two late penalty misses by Bocchi A and Kimberley mattered little, the game already won thanks to additional goals by the brothers Bocchi and “sick note” McInerney.

Sporting Apostrophes remain adhered to the foot of the table with a particularly potent adhesive. A terrible injustice!

Score: 7-1
Squad: Bocchi A, Bocchi J, Bonell, Hawkins, Kimberley, McInerney.
Goals: Kimberley (4), Bocchi A (1), Bocchi J (1), McInerney (1).

Kit man reappointed after laundry scandal

Posted under Announcements, Fashion

Milan-Ironing

“The club boasts state-of-the-art offshore laundry facilities”

The Super A’s have reappointed Hawkins as Head of Laundry following a catalogue of errors by stand-in Stickland.

“He didn’t even wash the sacred bibs! As any fan will tell you, a match-worn Sporting Apostrophes bib goes for £1000s on eBay, so I can’t help but question his motives.”

Fans and players are strongly encouraged to vote for the colour of the new kit, scheduled to debut next season, at the official Super A’s website.

Fans’ favourites – an update

The club has been inundated with phone calls and threats from supporters, demanding to know the whereabouts of some of their favourite players:

  • Bonell – on a scouting mission in Ireland, following the chairman’s £30 cash injection to fund new signings.
  • Davieslast week’s four-goal hero is resting.
  • Hawkins – in Berlin, coaching deprived children to Advanced Fouling and Punishment NVQ Level III standard.
  • McInerneyarse still ravaged by buminjuries, but the physio says he’s a cert for Sunday 22nd if he lays off the roll-ups.

Right, that’s cleared up that then.
