The bleeding continues

Doctor's advice, let it bleed until the poison has seeped out completely. Well, it's at the half way mark of the season and the Madhatters 06 have been bleeding since the start; we're bone dry at the moment. Furthermore, due to a red card recieved early in the today's match we were forced to play a team five times our superior with only ten men. I guess it's to properly experience the massacring effect. What's really great is that we get to do this all over again this upcoming weekend. It's tough to explain how a team is an overachiever one season and the complete opposite the next. Oh well, enough wining for the moment…Except for the fact that we did didley squat in our counter attacking today, and that the Darklords veteran Shaheen Ulathah netted five for good measure. A crowd of 39673 made it to the Darklords Arena to witness a home side trouncing of the visiting Madhatters 06. The Madhatters 06 played their usual 4-5-1 formation with counter attack as their match tactic. The Darklords opted for the 3-5-2 formation with normal match tactic. The Darklords dominated the match with 92% ball possession. The Madhatters 06 were the only penalized squad in today's match. Mierko deLeon earned a red through two yellows, one for a rough tackle and the other un-sportsman-like conduct while Miquel Angel Puertas received the other yellow, also for un-sportsman-like behavior. The Darklords won the match by a decisive score of 8-0. The Madhatters 06 star of the game was Phillippe Emmanuel Masse, who played a swell match. The Darklords scorers were, non-other than Shaheen Ulathah with five, Nestor Latulippe with two and Louis Deschenes with one.
