Asian Tigers curried by Iron Chefs

UEFA officials are scratching their heads this week after receiving an official application from the Iron Chefs Football Club for admission to the Champions league. The application comes only days after the Chefs notched up their 8th consecutive win.

Disoriented (or the Cambodian second 11) were this weeks prey as the boys in 'Egg yolk yellow' looked a little frazzled as they took the field; "boozing & cruisin" has become an almost institutionalised trait of some players. Fans fears were justified only minutes into the game as the Asian tigers pounced on a loose ball and put themselves into the lead. Truth be known, El Capitan Balestrino looked as though he might defect halfway through the game; "those Asian boys have such beautiful eyes". However both the captain and the rest of the team stayed the cause with gritty determination. As the game dragged on though the Iron Army fell silent in fear that they may be witnessing a cataclysmic almost orgasmic defeat, the silence was only broken by the distant chanting of the Barmy Army as England won the ashes... can you hear it?... can you? .... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 5-0 whitewash?... aha aha ha ha ha ha ha hahhahshh ah hahah hahah hahah hah hahah a hahhaah h ah

The Chefs went in at half time one goal down and seriously worried. However soon after the resumption of play it was as though the Chefs had received some kind of Flintoffesque inspiration, Thearle struck early and the game was drawn level. Yet the twists and turns kept on coming, almost immediately Cambodia struck another chopstick into the Chef's wok. Greek Chef Assikas went beserk, the frustration was obvious and the Chefs were in disarray. However calm prevailed and both Andre and Bucky tightened up the defence (and their backsides, after the Captain had threatened to do untold things to them if we lost). This is actually a curious point, as El capitan is known to be a little quiet on the pitch, many of the Iron Army have called for a more verbal approach to the captaincy. Afro and Rob both contributed well in creating chances and Afro in particular seemed to regain his form as he peppered the opposition goal from distance. However it was Thearle again who combined well with the Captain to draw the Chefs back level.

In the dying moments of the game it was the "White ninja midget" Bucky who leapt like a leper from the defensive line to nail the coffin shut. 3-2 and the Iron Chefs narrowly maintained their winning ways.
