(SPOILER)Fined £750 for not controlling our players (six yellows, two of which went to Burt). Oops. With Burt out at the 41st minute, I was worried, but we held our own for the most part. In the end, they got a breakthrough at the 76th minute and we luckily equalised in the 86th minute. Full credit to our determined team.


(SPOILER)Raf, injured at 14 minutes. Tassles, straight red (deserved - pulled a player's shirt when he was the last man and the player was heading straight for our penalty area) at 23 minutes. Phil injured at 71 minutes, Laddy at 79 minutes - so we played with nine men for those last eleven minutes. And we won. Okay, so our two goals were scored in the first half and their one was scored after we were down to nine men, but still, I'll take it. xD Really happy with the goals - cracker of a pass by charlie for LFC's one and as for Pike... let's just say that I watched that goal many, many times from multiple angles. So smurfing good.


(SPOILER)First loss of the season. We just couldn't find net. Really sloppy way to concede, too. I was massively disappointed (to put it lightly) when that happened.


(SPOILER)A good reaction, much better and against Lincoln who were placed third (I think!) at the time.


(SPOILER)Feared the worst when we went a goal down just three minutes in, but it's okay because, as sung by the crowd...

It's time to sing our music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to watch the goals flow on the Manus Show tonight.

It's time to put on war paint
It's time to fight the fight
It's time to raise the curtain on the Manus Show tonight.

Why opposing fans come here
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
They can't resist our show

And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Manusational
This is what we call the Manus Show!

Boom Boom Pow. Those first two goals were thumping. Fantastic.


(SPOILER)Ah, our old friends Stalybridge! A very straight forward win with little trouble at all. Top of the table, bitches!


(SPOILER)


(SPOILER)An own goal victory, but a good reaction to another loss all the same. Particularly in that we kept a clean sheet this time after conceding three in the last one. Good reaction.


(SPOILER)Phil's on fine form! But my standout for this is mike's freak goal. Ahahaha, right from the wing, what a beauty. He said after the match that he meant it, but none of us believe him. Still, I can watch that goal from a dozen angles and it always looks absolutely incredible. 18 year old leftback with a goal on debut. Nice! Great display from the entire team, really. A fantastic game for us.


(SPOILER)A really rash tackle from our young goalscorer in the previous match lead to him being sent off at the 44th minute which I wasn't pleased with considering we were already a goal down. Well done to our side for hanging in there and managing to steal a goal back to earn a draw.

Jiro, the squad for this season was announced around 19th June at the end of a post with a bunch of spoilers, be sure to check it out! As for where we are now, stats-wise, twelve games in...
