The latest Minicup was themed Liverpool vs Man Utd.
The tie of the first round was most definately Thuggie Bear vs Luke3300. Luke still trying to win his first ever minicup up against Thuggie 'I wont lose my temper and break my new pad' Bear. Unfortunately for Thuggie his new pad didnt pay off and Luke soared into the 2nd round with a 6-3 thrashing of 'The Bear'.
Also the first round saw EL1's Tomski pitted against non-league player Bob88. With Tomski taking the lead with a lovely Stevie G freekick, he thought his 62% possession would have been enough to earn him the victory. How wrong was he!? Possession dont mean points, goals mean points and in this case a place in the next round, and with Bob88 scoring a last minute winner with a 'crap cross' (Tomski's words not mine, lol), Bob went through to meet Luke in the next round!!
The Quarter Final stages saw the meeting of Bob and Luke and after a little controversy, Luke is given a 2-0 win!
The other 2nd round matches see Crazy Gooner seeing off the World Number 5, Vortekz 88, 2-0 and Frinkulator just squeezing past triple Minicup champion A HERO EMERGES, 6-5 on penalties.
Semi Final time and the quiet man of the Minicup, Biscuits007 sees himself up against Frinkulator, however the finishing of Frink is too much for Biscuits and Frink bursts into the final 2-1.
The other Semi, sees Luke (still on course for yet another Minicup final) up against the 'Crazy' one! With Crazy Gooner riding high on confidence after his beating of Vortekz, his all-round play is too much for Luke and Gooner sails on into the Final with a 3-1 win. Crazy Gooner is so good that although Luke looks in his 'bag of excuses', even he cannot find one and must admit defeat!! (another first for BoTn)
So onto the final between Crazy Gooner and Frinkulator.
On paper, a win for Gooner, in reality football and PES is a funny old game. I asked for match reports from both finalists but the only response Gooner could come up with is 'frink won on penalties. I was winning 4-3 in extra time and he got a penalty in the dying seconds even tho i pressed nothing. Sorry neil im annoyed'. Obviously not a happy chappy!!
I'll therefore leave it our NEW MINICUP CHAMPION, FRINKULATOR to sum up the final, and I quote
'crazy Gooner 4-4 Frinkulator
Frinkulator wins 5-4 on penalties
A truly outstanding game which saw 8 goals, a sending off for Frinkulator after 6 minutes
and a dodgy injury time penalty in extra time. Gooner was 4-2 up and looked set to win the cup
but for Van Nistelrooy to score two late goals to send the match to penalties.
The match was eventually won when van der saar saved a Cisse penalty to leave the Frink jubulent'
So there we have it, another successful Minicup sees us have a new champion.
Well done Frinkulator!!
