blonde Football Quiz League

[Tal]

Speaking through an interpreter (as no one can understand a word he says), Tal FC manager Andre Villas Williams told Brian Swanson the mood at the training ground is high, going into a big week for the Birmingham-based outfit.

"There are no easy games at this level and all we can do is take our chances when we get them. We must take each game as it comes, pass the ball well and work hard as a team."

As this didn't help anyone, Swanson pressed AVW for something useful, eventually eliciting:

"We cannot rely on our tie break abilities to get us through games, so the boys will be grilled over the next few days to ensure they are up to scratch in the first 5 questions, rather than just at the death. A good start sets a better tempo for the side. I have a graph to prove it!"

in a short interview with premier league veteran Horseplayer fc, it was stated by his assistant that "nobody likes us and we dont care" and "arent you supposed to be at home" may well be chanted at the intimidating ground of premier league hero Tighty fc.

horseplayer was unavailable for comment as he was studying the seller at redcar tommorow.
