Great result for the 40's at Chippy last night. Was a pleasure to watch big Andy Thompson roll back the years with a brace that would of graced any game. Couldn't believe the gaffa took him off when his hat-trick beckoned though!!
Got a real selection dilemma for the 35's for next week with Thompson looking so sharp... He must of give up the doughnuts!!
Only disappoint of the night was the Kings Arms, which must of changed champagne Wednesday to a Thursday!!
City march on towards the treble... Up the Vets!!

The Over 40's were in action this week, and came away with a 3-1 win away to Old Hooky in the Qtr-final of the knockout cup. Manager Holden drafted in 4 new youngsters for their debuts this season in Grant & Ross Kemp lookalikes, Martin Smy & Jason Caffel, the very shy Andy Thomas, and Dave "good first touch" Southam.
Old Hooky took the lead with 8 minutes on the clock, after 56 year old Paul Creed got caught on the wrong side of Chicken George, and just decided to trip him up. From the resulting free-kick, Nobby Solano planted a 30 yard screamer into the top corner of the city net. Cries of "safe" from Sid The cat could be heard all round the Cotswold's??? City then took control, and deservedly equalized on 15 minutes, when Stuart Clarke's pinpoint corner was met on the Nonce of Andy Thomas (No, not the one who played for Oxford United & Newcastle), and he made no mistake planting his header into the top corner, leaving Dave Seaman with no chance. 5 minutes later, and City went 2-1 ahead, as Dave Southam went bursting down the left flank, crossed over to Andy Thomas, who headed down for Paul Spittle to finish clinically with his standing foot from 10 yards.
HALF-TIME: OLD HOOKY 1 OXFORD CITY 2
A couple of changes at half-time, and the boys gave Creedy a massage after being given the runaround by 21 year old Usain Bolt down the left wing.
The third and final goal came 5 minutes into the 2nd half, as Wayne Golden jinked his way past 5 defenders, and slipped Andy Thomas (No, not the one who played for Oxford United & Newcastle), who clinically finished from the edge of the box, and went running over to the City faithful, and pulled his best Gurning face. Thommo was then given a rest, and a round of applause came from all round the ground, and chants of "He's fat he's round he's worth a couple of pounds....THOMMO", and on came youngster Paul "King Kenny" Komber to try and impress. And what a chance he had to prove that he still has what it takes, as he was put through by Golden, only to have a panic attack, and booted the ball 10 feet over the bar.
FINAL SCORE: OLD HOOKY 1 OXFORD CITY 3
Team: Simon Pagano, Paul Creed, Martin Smy, Shaun Pearce, Andy Martin, Stuart Clarke, Jason Caffel, Paul Kimber, Dave Southam, Andy Thomas, Paul Spittle. Subs: Wayne Holden, Mark Orlando

Was out running with Clark Kent aka Andy Thomas .He told me all about his performance, by all accounts it was the finest ever from a City veteran .He made so many runs in the channels the locals thought a machine had been on the pitch .Two of the finest goals ever seen at Hooky . He did all Spits work and made his goal for him . Was very entertaining in the Kings Arms afterwards and as usual was the life and soul, are any of these story's real ?

Well gok thats a fair point, although to be honest apart from spots who looks a bit like a grey space-man most of them look like they still shop at man at C'n'A anyway.
Whilst im here i'd like to say that i was dissapointed with the standard overall anyway, apart from the big unit up front there wasn't a lot on show.
the new lad cassell was useless, I know im only 3 months old but ive never seen a shot go as high as his went on wednesday, there cant be many people that have cleared those trees,
the center halfs were a laughing stock even kicking it at each other at one point, the full backs offered nothing apart from throw-ins to hooky,
mick orlando looked usefull to be fair but the other 2 subs were a disgrace, on a positive note the goalie looked solid, very fit, i wouldnt be surprised if that lad was doing extra work in the week.
my dad says were going to give it one more chance on wednesday, he says that if its the same as the last few weeks then hed rather stay at home and listen to mummy going on. so see you there lads.
