Ali Baba slaughters Breebeto's management

Talking to Channel Samba, Ali Baba spoke out and critisied Breebeto Snr's management style...: "I think this team needs a new accountant and a new manager..... Breebeto Snr is a shambles, he goes away mid season and when he comes back he doesn't score any goals.  Then he pays himself soo much money the club go bankrupt and to top it all off he then goes to watch crappy chelsea game when his team needs him!"

Breebeto Snr made no comment.

Breebeto Snr meets Sir Viv

"Attack minded football is what Samba is all about - we need to bring back the ethos of true 'Samba-style' and start building strong foundations for our future" Breebeto Snr was commenting earlier today on Channel Samba.

Over the past 2 weeks Breebeto Snr has been looking for new talent in the West Indies whilst also taking the opportunity to sink a few rum 'n' cokes watching the cricket ODI's. Whilst in Barbados, Breebeto Snr bumped into a good pal of his, Sir Viv Richards who gave him these wise words: "Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing"

Samba back on Track!

Samba 1 EDF All Stars 0

(Flying Scotsman 1)

Team (1-1-2-1-2): Safe Hands - Breebeto Jnr - Wildman, Flying Scotsman - Carltona - Breebeto Snr, Clown Shoes

Samba Quays FC returned to winning ways with a deserved, but albeit narrow, victory over EDF All Stars on Tuesday night. The game saw Samba unveil their much discussed new look formation with Breebeto Snr opting for his one at the back and wing back formation, dispensing with years of Samba tradition. And it was the new-look Samba who started the brighter, with Wildman, Clown Shoes and Carltona all denied by the impressive EDF keeper. The deadlock was broken midway through the second half when Samba were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the EDF box. The Flying Scotsman, who impressed throughout in his new role as a right wing-back, went for the direct approach and his left foot shot could not have been placed more perfectly as it crept in off the inside of the post. It was, quite literally, a good (set) piece. Despite some late scares, Safe Hands, back in goal after a foot injury ?!?!, was rarely troubled thanks largely to Breebeto Jnr’s rock like presence at the back and the excellent work rate of the wingbacks, midfield and forwards. Speaking exclusively to SambaQuaysblogspot.com Carltona said: ‘Some of the lads were a bit wary about the gaffer’s new system, but to be fair, it’s worked well tonight. It’s always nice to keep a clean sheet and the Flying Scotsman stays behind after training to practice his scuffing and it’s paid off for him. We played some good stuff and we’re looking forward to pushing for promotion next season’. Breebeto Snr also commented: 'It's nice to see the new formation working as this will give us a dynamic edge for next season. The team worked really hard on sticking to my plan and they have given me a real headache going into our first full season - the squad has never been stronger.'

Breebeto Snr speaks to Garth Crooks

Speaking to Garth Crooks after Samba's 2nd successive defeat, Breebeto Snr hits out at the lack of players available to him...

"It's frustrating to have a squad of nearly 20 players and only have 6 available to choose from, especially during this important pre-season campaign. I'm also completely gutted after applying to the FA for an emergency loan keeper and being flatly refused. We just don't seem to be getting the rub of the green! I need fit, dedicated and spirited players in this camp and so far I have not seen the best out of this squad. We lost Clown Shoes tonight to a hamstring strain to add to my worries!"

Clown Shoes joins Carltona, Safe Hands, The General, The Flying Scotsman, Head Height, The Sex Pest and Omario to make it 8 players on the treatment table.

With players hopefully returning next week to fight for their Samba careers rumours are rife that Breebeto Snr could well be culling the squad come the start of Samba's first season... Tuesday 10th February.
