Official Match Thread S19 R04: Gold City Royals vs West Coast Wonders at The Throne

Remove this Banner Ad

Welcome to The Throne wonders, i am only new to the Royals but have heard only good things about you. Look forward to a great week and an even better game on Sunday.
If you haven't heard of me yet, well i wear number 21 and am currently leading the league in marks this season. Prepare to be step laddered on this week.
 
Back at home. A heroes welcome greets us as our carriages come in.

The celebrations in the streets will not last long though. Another game awaits and we're yet to reach the top of the ladder.

At least the fans have been warming to me. Tales of my few good goals in a far away land have reached every corner of the city but they expect much more, they know there is much more to come and I plan on giving it to them.

C'MON Royals!!!!
 
The rest of the side are in a self induced coma, they won't be here until tomorrow anyway.

TheFreshBanana is still banging his head on the coffee table after writing a long winded thesis, airing his grievances to okeydoke7 and the rest of the committee. He's unlikely to be here until Wednesday out of spite.
Come back to me when you can actually get into the committee.

Was his thesis about how stupid Monday night match threads are?
It's gotta be Tuesday night somewhere.

I'm purely using this thread to lure Wise Guy Sam home.

Come home WGS, its time. Your adventure has been successful now you must return to your home planet.

The West Gate Trolls died on their way back to their home planet, WGS has no home.

Also, that's not a suicide joke.
 
Fun Fact #1

These teams have met on 6 occasions with the ledger squared at 3 apiece.

Fun Fact #2

The Royals have won 2 out of the 3 encounters at the Throne.

Fun Fact #3

5 out of the 6 games between these 2 sides has seen the winning margin being 12 points or under, with 4 of those games decided by 7 points or less.

Fun Fact #4

The Wonders score of 2.12.24 against the Royals the first time these sides met was the lowest score in their history.

Fun Fact #5

The Royals are currently on a 2 game winning streak against the Wonders with both those winning margins being 5 points.

Fun Fact #6

The last time the Wonders defeated the Royals, I was feverishly trying to get the result overturned. Not because arro73 missd the chance to debut, not because I wanted the Royals to win, but because I didn't want croweater 41 bragging about his 8 goals for this entire match thread.

Fun Fact #7

The Royals are about to make it three wins on the trot and put the Wonders further into turmoil.

I did not find many of these facts fun, nor to be entirely facts.
 
Well Royals, I can tell you that we are kind of sick of this whole losing thing, so watch out this week. We are coming out with the intent to break this streak!
 
two goals in three kicks, I'll take that form into todays game.

An Actual Fun Fact #2

The Royals still won't make finals after receiving about $77 billion dollars from Bill Gates.

Come back to me when you can actually get into the committee.
Now might be a great time to mention the fact that I've been in the committee, seen the inadequacies of the group and decided it was better left to Marlowe to continue receiving the headaches.

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them, if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

You see, a committee should consist of three men, two of whom are absent. I've formed by own committee where hereby I announce that from herein and following on from my previous days as a captain, I'll find avenues too ensure the Wonders never beat the Royals again. I'm one from one at the moment with 100% strike rate.

Try not to get booted out from that one, too :thumbsu:

All you've done here is pointed out the Royals improvement from season to season, evident in our winning percentage. In accordance with our recent history, that $77 billion dollars will be spent upgrading our facilities to include the bandwagon that's about to come rolling in. :p
 
I believe the seasons are becoming frequently shorter in order to provide us with better odds at playing finals. Once it gets to down to 7-game fixtures in Season 24, we should be good to go.

Let's get some of that $77 billion invested into some nice recliners for the stadium seats. Because everyone likes recliners.

You don't have to worry. This team is awesome. Can only imagine how the quarter time huddle went last match.

"We're 22 points down, not really good enough hey" Says Marlowe addressing the Royals. "Only 22 points? What a pack of flogs" replies Son of God. "They'll live to regret it" adds Easty. I just start laughing "They should have made it 60 if they wanted any chance, look at them over there high fiving each other like the game is over, I can't wait to wipe the smiles off their faces". Wise Guy Sam chimes in gleefully with "kick it to meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!". "They're sooooo gawn, can you feel it?" asks NathanMJ_WB54. "You bet I can feel it" replies 3KZ is Football putting his hand in the centre, we all stack on top and then fling our arms back in a primal war chant.

ROYALS!!!!!!!!!

The match thread.
Absolutely not. Perfect timing and has been for many seasons now.


Here's my issue with the Tuesday match threads:
If you want to have a break on Mondays, then have a ****ing break on Mondays. No one is stopping you. All it does is hinder people like me who don't want to be forced to have a break just because a select few do.

While the idea of it is sound, the practicality that the entire league has to wait until Tuesday just to have a breath between each match thread is beyond ridiculous. Grow up people. Don't take the league that seriously and if you do, then don't.

Marlowe was once a contestant on The $25,000 Great Temptation and bought a Jason Recliner in the gift shop. Tony Barber originally had it priced at $5 but Marlowe beat him down to $4 and $100 cash. Marlowe ended up losing by $1 to a guy that went on to win the whole showcase, but he never let it bother him that much. That chair still gets plenty of use in our rooms. Not many people know this story, but it is true.

Yeah, we are like Kings of the Jungle. Just like Kimba.

While your point is fine I love Tuesday match threads as they encourage banter about the game just gone.
