Something I like to share.

Similar to Arsenal FC at times, our team sticks to our identity and beliefs at playing beautiful football. Though, we have not been winning games, I strongly feel that at least we're enjoying the game again. Definitely, slowly but surely, Everyday Sunday FC will start winning these games, along with those big smiles on our faces. Use the 1 week break from soccer to revitalize yourself and see you junkies on 5th Oct soon. (:

The secret document behind Arsenal's success. Play as a team, stick together...

The team:

* A team is as strong as the relationships within it. The driving force of a team is its member's ability to create and maintain excellent relationships within the team that can add an extra dimension and robustness to the team dynamic.

* This attitude can be used by our team to focus on the gratitude and the vitally important benefits that the team brings to our own lives. It can be used to strengthen and deepen the relationships with it and maximise the opportunities that await a strong and united team.

Our team becomes stronger by:

* Displaying a positive attitude on and off the pitch

* Everyone making the right decisions for the team

* Have an unshakeable belief that we can achieve our target

* Believe in the strength of the team

* Always want more - always give more

* Focus on our communication

* Be demanding with yourself

* Be fresh and well prepared to win

* Focus on being mentally stronger and always keep going until the end

* When we play away from home, believe in our identity and play the football we love to play at home

* Stick together

* Stay grounded and humble as a player and a person

* Show the desire to win in all that you do

* Enjoy and contribute to all that is special about being in a team - don't take it for granted

Suay-day

Despite ESFC's relentless attacking and solid defending, the luckless Sundays just could not attain the elusive three league points on this scorching afternoon.

Sergio Zhong Terry's brilliant free-kick deceived everyone, and put the team in blue ahead in the closing minutes of the first half. However, ESFC conceded a suckerpunch late into the second half, resulting in the points being shared between the two teams and limbo. (If it was shared evenly, both should get 1.5 points each. But 1 point is missing!)

Jason Chew was awarded our MotM accolade for an outstanding performance in the sandy centre of midfield. His flair and guile was there for all to see (what a Gombak 360 turn!), save a few wayward flicks. :P

All in all, an encouraging display of effort. Good game team! We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Team Spirit for their tough but fair play.

Draw!

Luck has not been on our side. And so has the results. Not forgetting our playing style. Times have change. Teams have changed. Some referees have changed. Venues have also changed.

EVERYDAYSUNDAY MUSN'T CHANGE! but we are. and why is that so?

1. higher division = better opponents? therefore we show them more respect?

2. bigger field = tire out easily? therefore we always lose out to those who have more subs?

3. we are not as motivated as before?

4. we play like pussies as we have lost our confidence, just like Man u missing Ronaldo?

5. We are just not good enough for Div 4.

I believe that all the above are not true. However, we are showing to everyone that all the above relate to our team. this is not right. we have only ourselves to blame for all the recent lacklustre performance. everyone is good enough to play in this team, for this team. but why when called upon, not everyone play to their potential?

Agreed the last game we were unlucky. BUt are we going to say we're UNLUCKY 7 more times?

we are paying for this guys. we pay because we are passionate to play. we want to win. we want to enjoy ourselves. but at the moment, we are paying but we are not enjoying ourselves.

Do reminisce the past. maybe last yr. we came, we joked, we laughed, and we scored. MANY goals.

Fast forward to today. we come, we warm up, we get serious, and we lost. we have lost 3 matches already. that's not our standard. we used to be unbeatable backi n Yishun. so what's the problem now?

it's time we change to WEST HAM under ZOLA's style = laid-back approach.

we MUST NOT get too worked up when things go wrong. NO GAME IN THIS LEAGUE IS IMPORTANT.

EVERY GAME WE PLAY, WE PLAY BECAUSE WE WANT TO IMPROVE OURSELVES. deep down we all know that we're not playing well, far below our standards.

Therefore guys, it's time we get back on our feet and show Div 4 what we're made of.

time to BOUNCE... BACK!!!

ESFC, the champions of the inaugural Sunday Mini-League, suffered their single biggest defeat against Jaguar FC, the mighty Division 2 champions of last season. The absence of several key players and a goalkeeper was a major factor in the Sundays' lacklustre performance, but credit to Jaguar FC for their superior physique and clinical finishing. We would like to thank Jaguar FC for the memorable experience and sincerely wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

Sally is back!

In an attempt to spur the Sundaians and lift the recent gloomy moody, Sally Wo Hen Mei has come out from her "media blackout" obscurity. It is a common knowledge amongst supporters that the sole reason for her disappearance from tabloids is due to her controversial affairs with Mr. Darren "YOU WON'T GET HIS AGE RIGHT" Sin, the infamous left-back wannabe of the ESFC soccer team.

In another classic slip of her tongue, Sally disclosed that she had spoken at length to Darren during one of their escapades about him practicing some of his moves at the wrong place and time.

"I have seen from the match review the other day that DARling, oops, Darren did some somersaults on the field. Those stunts were so wonderfully constructed and I was thinking maybe he should have done it on our beds instead," said Sally

"It will definitely liven up our experiences and I cannot wait to see him the next time," exclaimed Sally as bright sparks could be seen from her pair of eyes.

She added:"From the recent match reviews and results, I have noticed that the Sundaians have not been performing up to their standard. I believe the boys are tired, both physically and mentally, due to changes in their lifestyles.

"Maybe I can help by inviting some of the boys back to my apartment for some special service and, who knows, they may even learn a trick or two which can help them greatly in the league. Darren has been benefiting from our training together and I'm sure the others will follow suit if they're interested"

ESPeeN FootballSIAO isn't so sure about the Sundaians being interested on the offer but supporters are confident that the Sunday Mini-League Champion will return from their anonymity and start getting precious points in their bid to wrestle the championship away from the front runners.

On a side note, Everyday Sunday Football Club has transferred experienced central back Leslie to Y Homeless FC of Div 10 for a undisclosed fee. Captain Tan Boon Han commented:

"Leslie’s a player, in an ideal world, you would not want to lose, but the lure of playing in Div 10 with his boyhood club is really too much to reject him the chance,"

"But he has always behaved impeccably. He’s a fantastic professional, and there’s no doubt about it, they’ve got an outstanding player and we have got to move on."

The entry will end with some of Sally's photos which are going on sale at your nearest retail bookstores. Proceeds will be given to the ESFC's funds which is depleting by the day.
