Yet another pic of that heinous kit…

…but at least there are also some Accies kits in this one.  Photo kindly taken by Courtney of last night's two teams following the entertaining 4-4 draw.  Effra were disappointed not to win having been 3-1 and 4-2 up (with Perre scoring our fourth goal on his last night before his Argentian adventure), but it was a good night on the whole.

Forget Football: Here's Floatball

If a match can 'happily' take place in these conditions, maybe some of our games earlier this year shouldn't have been cancelled due to flooding?

Flamin' Hell…

I've been searching for good things to say about the new kit worn by this week's oppo Southbank Cuaco.  All I can come up with is: at least it doesn't clash with our team's colours.

Hideous.

Not wild about this stat…

We've played 38 11-a-side games so far in 2014.  Only 12 players have played in more than half of those matches.

Effra On Radio 4

Effra gets a mention on this episode of The Museum Of Curiosity.  Sadly it's not our esteemed football team that's being discussed, but instead the underground London river which inspired the first part of our club's name.  Still worth a listen though.

There's an interesting piece about the River Effra here.  "In his book Thames: Sacred River, Peter Ackroyd writes that the Effra took its name from the Celtic word yfrid, meaning 'torrent'."

I suggest we score a torrent of goals this Thursday, to mark this fact.  I for one will yell "Yfrid!  Yfrid!  Yfrid!" when our 5th goal goes in.

Friend of the Accies…

Bregje!

Charlie Brooking?

Stanchion, best football word?
