Fatboy crowned King

With the football seconds looking to build on last weeks glorious victory, the game began with captain Steve picking a formation literally out of a hat and urging the lads to "Show ‘em what we can do". Unfortunately this produced the most boring first half in history, with all concerned agreeing the we were "worse than the Villa" .

The second half saw the arrival of Dave who replaced Andy, and Dixon who Steve enticed onto the pitch with the promise of pies. With the sun at our backs and the wind in our hair (Phil’s, by the smell of it) we tore into King’s with Loz, Felix and Si all going close. The defence looked sound, with German breaking legs whenever he felt it was necessary and Rob playing a blinder at right back. Dixon was having none of this, however, and he combined beautifully with Donal in goal to let Steve through to score his second own goal in two games. Bloater could not be denied his glory as he summoned up his inner qi and calmly stroked the ball with the King’s defenders nowhere to be seen. This was followed up by a flick-on to Martin who put the ball into the net after kicking their keeper in the teeth. Good work fella!

International fees: short-term manna, long-term trap.

The UK government seems determined to enact a 6% “levy” (more polispeak to avoid the electorate-angering “tax”) on international fees, which would, according to the Imperial President Hugh Brady, cost Imperial an estimated £26 million to the College. “We have lobbied hard against this and will continue to do so,
