h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Team,

Sorry about the longish break - I'll try and make sure it doesn't happen again.

So, we pick up where we left off - lots of exciting news, thankfully.

Titania injured in training means a two week lay-off; Chris is drafted in on the left-wing as cover. This seems to work as we roll over Leyton Orient 2-0 (Ekki, Broelan)

Oom and Ferino are both delighted to be called up to the Northern Ireland B-Team. Hebe is again called up for the Swiss U21's.

Trailing 2-0 from Huddersfield from the first leg of the Vans (N) final, we don't really put our hearts into the return leg and go down 1-0. Reports from the coaching staff say that Ekki is not trying hard enough in training. As a punishment he is dropped from the starting line-up in favour of Dolt. A potential minefield away to Macclesfield is avoided as we win 3-1 (Ellen 2, Oom).

Our players earn their first international recognition, although neither of them are particularly proud. Ferino is sent off in a 3-0 defeat against Wales B, while Hebe puts in a poor performance as captain as the Swiss U21s go down to the Greek U21s by the same scoreline.

Flanker strains his groin in training, giving our young starlet Temporal Bandit a chance at the first team. Chris has been under performing and so is dropped, giving Bob the Farmer a long-awaited chance at a first team spot too. They play in both the 1-0 victory over Rochdale (Belle) and the 2-0 victory over Kidderminster (Ellen 2).

The team go into the home match with Bristol Rovers knowing that if they win they are guaranteed a play-off berth. Thankfully, the results is never in doubt as Bristol Rovers lie down and we win 2-0 (Perseus 2).

There are only six games left in the season. Can h2g2 win the third division and go on to better things? The answer is coming soon...

I want to play, I want to - ouch! *limping*

* looks forward to a free transfer to Yeovil Town *

I think Yeovil is frankly a bit optimistic. I think you might just sit in the reserves until you retire or I offer you a coaching position.

The Danish 'GreyDesk' looks very similar to the Sewdish one, to my untrained eye.

GreyDesk looks very similar in both Swedish, Danish and Norwegian - that's why the people in those countries sometimes manage to understand each other even when everyone just speaks their own langugage... *tries to think of other languages with the same similarities*

...I might be wrong, but I think that Italians and Spaniards can understand each other too, with some limitations...

I've never had a Swedish one, nor a Sewdish one for that matter. I was vaguely Norwegian for a while though

Are you sure that I stained my groin while training

You do mean 'strained', don't you?

B

Yes

did i read that correctly up there that i've scored a goal that wasn't a penalty shot?

You did indeed. Came up on the back post for a corner, if I remember correctly.

Hello.. just subscribing here to see how the season went in retrospect. Italians and Spaniards can understand each other to a certain extent - my girlfriend is Italian and she can... also, when she was staying in Madrid recently and I had to go and meet her, I rung up the (cheap!) hotel to find the woman there didn't speak English. I speak very little Spanish. However, I had the brainwave of trying to say what I wanted in my limited Italian, and it worked a treat.
