The Lost Art of Making a Comeback
743 Words
Good article, well written, good subject. A piece on some of the attempted comebacks in our game.
Score88

Raider_69
Pride and Passion
743 Words
A piece on commitment and consistency, I reckon just about every fan wishes those qualities from his team.
Score 86

Paul Quinn
How to make the game more confusing.
750 Words
A tongue in cheek look at improving the rules. The writer has come up with some amusing alternatives to decide some of the more contentious rulings during a game. I liked the replacement of the coin toss.
Score89

Sean Hampstead and the Chambers of Secrets
750 Words
Cleverly thought out piece on referees and their perceived performance with the whistle. The article, to be honest was a little lost on me, but I guess that’s just a taste thing.
Score 87

Jamesgould
The Dying Days
750 Words
Good reading piece on the way some players retired from the game. The writer puts the thought across that it’s not all about going out in a blaze of glory.
Score 86







Souths

Marshall Magic
The Only Crisis is Form
749 Words
A bit of a brief run down on the performances of the Newcastle club in recent years. The writer goes on to say that Brian Smith should be given a fair go. Some of the spelling and grammar in this piece was poor, and made reading difficult. As a Knights fan I would say the crisis has been poor recruitment during the Hagan years.
Score 83

Pistol
Bargain Hunt
748 Words
Sussing out the bargain buy players. There were a couple of errors reading this, at the end of paragraph 4, and towards the end of paragraph 1, it looks like you’ve been editing, and left some unwanted words in.
Score 85

Master Vippo
Dogs of War Preach a Lesson of Peace.
732 Words
What an enlightening read. Something (as the writer points out) not too many people would be aware of. Doesn’t surprise me one bit that Hazem accepted it for what it was.
Score 89

Mr Fahrenheit
Andrew Johns: Man or Myth?
740 Words
The writer separates the myths from the facts. No doubting that Johns was one of the greatest footballers to pull on a boot, but was he one of the greatest men to pull one on? Thought provoking read, and perceptive writing. I can tell you from first hand that he is not without fault. The flattery in no way influenced your score.
Score 90

Bumble
Faraway, So Close
747 Words
The passion for his club pours onto the page of this piece, the writer shows no pretence, You can just tell he means every word. Well written.
Score 91

Result Souths 438 defeated The Ninjas 436 POTM Bumble

Excellent game, with varied articles, in the end it probably came down to two articles getting Souths across the line. The Ninjas were very consistent across all five of theirs. Bumbles piece was very simple really, but the writer was able to capture and put into words his/her feelings so well.
Congratulations to Souths who move on. Very well done to the Ninjas in 2007.
:clap: :clap:

Well done Ninjas, you will always be my 2nd team. From the PvP, to a inagural finals berth is an amazing job. I really thought you had us reading those scores. It was agonisingly close.

Thanks to everyone involved, and especially antonius with the swift as always marking. I guess it was a gamble writing a Harry Potter like piece, and that gamble proved a little costly :(

Yeah totally gutted, I thought we had it won. At least Vippo didnt beat me I guess. 10 bucks Chuck thinks we are losers now, thats all I need.

Congrats to Souths, no doubt you will take the Warriors team apart.

I would also like to thank the Chuck Norris Texas Death Ninjas for a sweet as year, making the finals in our first year...come a long way from the side who couldnt even get into the comp 2 years ago.
