ESFC capitulated and slumped to an abysmal defeat by the SGX-Men, losing their debutant keeper Josh in the opening moments of the second half to a Barthezish move that even the eccentric Frenchman himself would be proud of. Instead of taking the ball, he swatted imaginary mosquitoes including the striker who darted past him.
Deputy keeper Figo almost saved the resulting penalty but to no avail. A series of atypical errors, and a typical 'dead and dull' game cost the Sundays the match and ultimately, all three points of the dreary day. Take nothing away from the valiant SGX-Men though, they wanted the ball and the victory more than us today. Let's hope Wigan and Manchester United have the same burning desire!
PS: On a more important note, let's welcome Mr Chong "Figo" Wenxiong and 2LT (Mr on Monday) Jason "Edison" Ang back to civilization! Also, Darren "Ticklemaster" Sin has moved to a condo near Parkway Parade, so east-siders beware!
