Chelsea vs. Leeds United – Stamford Bridge
Premier League – Saturday 20th March 2004

Squad: Gianluigi Buffon; Carles Puyol, Ian Harte, Lúcio, Walter Samuel; Jermaine Pennant, Francesco Totti (c), Andrés D’Alessandro, Jermaine Jenas; Adriano, Ronaldo


Before the match I spoke to Roman Abramovich and he was quite cocky, meaning that Chelsea would trash us easily. But oh so wrong he was.

We took a firm grip of the game early on and created a lot of chances. However the first goal kept waiting until the 31st minute when Andrés D’Alessandro somehow twisted the ball in from the corner. Minutes later we had extended our lead through Adriano. His fellow compatriot Ronaldo also scored before the break.

The frustration in the Chelsea camp continued in the second half and Adriano managed to put us 4-0 ahead in the 60th minute. Chelsea tried to get up and pressure us but didn’t really succeed and Ronaldo could easily score with a diving header in the 82nd minute. Minutes later Francesco Totti settled the score to a mere 6-0. Total humiliation!

Chelsea 0:
Leeds 6: D’Alessandro 31’, Adriano 37’, 60’, Ronaldo 41’, 82’, Totti 84’

Yes the writing style is suburb :thup: but you know who is going to win every match!

I feel sorry for Casillas and Buffon because both are world class keepers and both SHOULD be playing every match

Leeds United vs. Arsenal – Elland Road
Premier League – Wednesday 24th March 2004

Squad: Gianluigi Buffon; Carles Puyol, Ian Harte, Lúcio, Walter Samuel; Jermaine Pennant, Francesco Totti (c), Andrés D’Alessandro, Jermaine Jenas; Adriano, Ronaldo


With the Chelsea game in the back the players looked a little drained, not really keeping their focus and concentration up. However Arsenal had also had a though game; derby against Tottenham.

Arsenal started the match best, creating quite a few chances in the first 20. After that though, we took over and Walter Samuel headed us 1-0 up in the 29th minute. Perhaps the credit should go to Sol Campbell as the ball came off him before going into the net. In the 69th minute, Francesco Totti floated the ball over into the area where Adriano climbed above Kolo Touré to score on the header.

Leeds 2: Samuel 29’, Adriano 69’
Arsenal 0:

A few days back I had given O'Flanagan an assignment to take Eddie out, once and for all. O’Flanagan had now followed Eddie around for about a week or so, to see when the best opportunity to strike would come. And 21.00 that Wednesday Eddie arrived at has his weekly poker game. 3 hours later people started to emerge, but not Eddie. He didn't surface until 15 minutes later. He walked over to his car and put the key in the lock. O’Flanagan sneaked up from behind.

AO'F Oi, Eddie.
Eddie turned around

EG What you want O'Flanagan?

AO'F Put you out of your misery.
Ashley reached inside his long coat and pulled out two Desert Eagle's

AO'F This is gonna be messy, hehe.

EG Don't! I can pay you. How much do you want?

AO'F I don't want your filthy money Eddie... See you in hell!
Ashley raised his guns


BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The last shot hit Eddie in the head and O'Flanagan was quite satisfied with the outcome. After all now all our problems were gone.

Leeds United vs. Middlesbrough – Elland Road
Premier League – Sunday 4th April 2004

Squad: Gianluigi Buffon; Carles Puyol, Ian Harte, Lúcio, Walter Samuel; Jermaine Pennant, Francesco Totti (c), Andrés D’Alessandro, Jermaine Jenas; Adriano, Ronaldo


With Eddie Gray nowhere to be found, Kevin Blackwell stepped in to take charge of the squad.

And he did well, but that’s maybe not that hard with the squad we have. Ronaldo was the first man to add his name to the score sheet in the 17th minute and 10 minutes later he was capped for another goal. The first half was quite nasty and tough, seeing three players going off with injuries. Adriano after being elbowed in the face, Massimo Macarone after he stretched his leg and Gaizka Mendieta after twisting his knee in a duel with Jermaine Jenas.

After this Middlesbrough had a hard time finding their positions on the field and not very surprisingly we won quite easily. Oh, by the way: Jermaine Pennant tapped in the ball in the 90 minute to finish the scoring.

Leeds 3: Ronaldo 17’, 27’, Pennant 90’
Middlesbrough 0:

Why are you so happy for, Brian?
--------------

Both O'Flanagan and I waited for the newspapers to write something about Eddie’s death but they never did. What if he still was alive? He couldn't be; after all O'Flanagan had emptied his mag in Eddie, with the last shot penetrating Eddies head.

One night when O'Flanagan came out from the pub and started walking home, he had a feeling he was followed. But he couldn't see anyone so he just ignored his intuitions telling him something was wrong. Then 15 minutes into his walk, just as he was about to cross the street a van pulled up alongside him. The door slid back and three men jumped out, one of them hit O'Flanagan in the head knocking him out cold.

As O'Flanagan started to regain consciousness, he felt something wet. He was lying in the wet grass, in the middle of a field. As he looked around he saw the three men standing around him, all wearing black. He heard a familiar voice saying: "Awake now, are we?" He turned his head and he was totally flabbergasted. It was Eddie.

Eddie stood looking at O'Flanagan who looked quite taken aback. Blood was smeared in O’Flanagan’s forehead, concealing a nasty gash.

AO'F Eddie? But... I thought...

EG Yes you though that you had killed me. But as you can see, you didn't.

AO'F But I shot you in the head.

EG Well, I'm a though son of a bìtch.

AO'F Not even you could have survived that. We both know that.

EG You're right... I'll let you in on a little secret of mine: it wasn't me that you killed.

AO'F Duh, you say? But do explain who he was.

EG Apparently you don't know how highly developed the plastic surgery has become. If you got the money you can look like anyone you want. The person you shot was a poor old sod with no money.

AO'F That doesn’t explain the fact that he sounded just like you.

EG A simple procedure that too my friend. We implanted a data chip in his throat making him sound like me. Russian made it was too. Sometimes the vodka drinking bästards are useful... By the way, why did you kill him? Such a handsome man shouldn’t be eradicated like that. A damn shame he had to die.

AO'F You're sick, you know that?

EG But not dead... Which is what you will be in 20 minutes.

AO'F You'll burn in hell for this...

EG I'm sure I will, alonside with you then. Boys, get rid of this cünt... Oh, and make sure you send our friend Campbell a little present.

As Eddie walked over to his car the three black dressed chaps "loaded" O'Flanagan into their van and drove off.
