This time last week the Tenterden Five a side world was rocked with the news that stalwart Cupid Stunts FC servant Paul Newman was set to be ousted by angered manager George Dyke. Dyke, who he also plays alongside at an international level for Troggs International FC, look set to hand Newman a second chance in tonight’s FA cup fixtures, in a sensational change of heart. Dyke, speaking at a press conference earlier today, said: “Paul and I go back along way and besides being a great footballing talent, he is a loyal friend. We haven’t seen eye to eye recently but Paul knows he was in the wrong and submitted a formal apology which the club have accepted. Paul will play tonight from defence while my self and Moon continue our hunt for goals up front.” &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;This is bad News for new Cupids signings Tony Carty and Andy Adamson who look set to miss out on another Trophy as the Cupids line up tonight as surprise joint favourites with the side who beat them in the final last week, Northern Lights.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Carty is rumoured to be considering an 11th hour loan move to Serco Sonics in order to impress his Cupids manager and stake his claim for a place in the side that begins their summer league campaign on wed 12th.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Newman Sensationally quits Cupid Stunts! Cupids front man Paul Newman has today announced he is to quit his beloved team due to, what he says is a lack of commitment from the club. Newman, currently nursing a knee injury, said in a statement: "the club have not been supportive since my injury and this shocks me! I have been a great servant to the club and this is how i'm repaid' Newmans future is indeed in doubt. Nick Collins, sky sports, Ashford &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;**source: actual text from newman &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;George Dyke was questioned on this and he responded: "I asked Paul to show tonight and he decided not to. If this is his decision, it will be a loss for the club, but we scored 10 goals tonight in 3 games which shows we have strength in depth and we will move on. I hope myself and Paul will remain friends after this debacle" &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Cupids play a suspiciously poor 'badgers' in next week's fa cup quarter final and Dyke is widely expected to pick in form Richard Moon over want away striker Paul Newman.
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Player Manager George Dyke set out his team in the first game. Mark, T. Dyke, Carty, G. Dyke, Moon and left Adamson on the bench. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;They pitted their wits against The White Lion hotel, artguably the favourites for the cup and the cupids taught them a lesson. G. Dyke Bagged 2 as did Mr moon and the cupids spanked the favourites 4-1. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Next up in the semi were Brazil 70, who like the Lions finished above the cupids in the league. Dyke and Moon grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck once more, Dyke netting 3 and Moon 2 though Moons were slightly more attractive than Dyke's hit and hope efforts. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;After the longest penalty shoot out in history (i think it ended 16-15) Northern Lights finally limped through past a simon eels led fat ox. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;For much of the final, Cupids looked the better side but it was the Lights than shone thru scoring first through dogman then again through cox who beat tony carty once all game and unfortunately scored. Adamson, off the bench for Dyke Snr, Finally decided to shoot and notched a late conselation, but it was too little too late and the final finished 2-1. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Two runner's up medals in a week isn't that nice, but hey its better than nothing. Well played to all involved and unlucky again lads.
&lt;/p&gt;

Club physio Sarah Ryan told us she is sending Ben for specialist treatment in Macedonia over the next few days. Assistant manager George Dyke is thought to be accompanying him.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Newman blamed the reckless tackle as the turning point in the game. He was forced to change formation and lost shape, moving mooney into what can only be described as no mans land as he, and others, went missing for the remainder of the game. Alan Hansen, commentating on the match, said "That was absolutely shocking"&lt;/p&gt;

Troggs wing back Sam Logg (pictured) is being held after failing a preliminary drugs test. Log, famed for his ridiculous hair cuts, is set to undergo further testing and could face a ban up to 18 months if he tests positive for the banned steroid that showed up on the initial routine tests. We could not get a comment out of any official spokesperson at the club, but one of the kids that hang around the minnis said "this is all the club needs at the minute"

The Troggs limped to victory over Egerton a week ago and then compounded the fans misery by allowing Ashford eagles to take all 3 points at the weekend. Several of the Troggs players were accused of bottling the game by Club chairman Tim Archer who was overheard saying "7 or 8 of those players weren't up for that at all, Tony Carty was the only one I saw win a tackle"&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The ever controversial Rich Moon, was again in the papers as fickle troggs fans vented their frustration through their usual scapegoat. Fans gathered outside the clubs headquarters- the flying horse - chanting "mooney out". One angry fan even set ablaze a nana moon doll, thought to be an effigy of the troggs forward.   &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Other fans and pundits alike questioned rookie manager Paul Newman's ability to motivate his team. Newman has got to come up with answers fast as the Troggs face Appledore in the cup quarter final on Sunday. Newman is widely expected to drop mooney and play himself up front after notching the only troggs goal of the weekend to make it 3 in 3 for the larger than life playmaker. Newman is also thought to be considering the easy way out after being heavily tipped for the vacant post at Fratton Park. Archer admitted Milan Mandaric had been on the phone regarding the manager’s availability and whilst he didn't give anything away he did say "every employee of this club has a price tag"&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Newman responded to the rumor by assuring fans his future was at the club and he would turn things round he said "I have a cunning plan". A source from inside the club told us that this plan was to bring back Troggs legend Butch. Widely regarded as the most naturally gifted player in Smarden, Butch has been spotted training at the clubs Tenterden leisure center training ground with the first team but when approached, he declined to comment. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Only time will tell if Newman will stay and turn things round at the struggling club.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;The Minnis, Smarden&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;There is nothing that the people of Smarden enjoy more than a local derby of a Sunday morning, so it was no surprise to see a crowd of 10+ flanking the Cornes Meadow pitch this morning.  Smarden, off the back of eight consecutive victories (equalling a longstanding club record), were expecting an easy game against their struggling rivals, Egerton, a competent if not spectacular outfit looking for their first win of the domestic campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;A frosty pitch and crowd congestion around the eastside of the pavilion delayed kick off for approximately 15 minutes. Once underway, the game was contested at a frantic pace, with misplaced passes and flying tackles.  Thuggery is employed as a matter of course for some members of the Troggs team and it was players in the mould of George Dyke and Tony Carty, which shone in the opening period.  A moment of quality was required to break the deadlock and it inevitably came in the shape of Richard Moon, who drove the ball home from 20 yards on 18 minutes. Egerton upped the tempo and caused Smarden several problems in the latter period of the first half, with the impressive Rob Keeper making some speculator stops to deny an increasing frustrated Egerton unit.  That said Smarden can also regard themselves as unlucky not to have extended their lead before half-time, with Andy Adamson and Moon, both guilty of missing gilt-edged chances.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Egerton started the second half strongly and it was a handled Tony Carty pass back, which handed the travelling team an opportunity to equalise on 65 minutes. Following robust negotiations with the official, Tim Archer, a free-kick was awarded and subsequently despatched with glee into the top right hand corner to delight the travelling support with a well deserved equaliser. The pitch was heavy and mistakes were becoming increasing common as the second half progressed.  There was a flurry of chances at both ends in what had developed into an open game. Again some great keeping from Rob had kept Troggs on terms, while Moon, Windibank and Adamson all missed good opportunities to regain the advantage for the Smarden-based outfit.  It was eventually a brave Ben Gibbs tackle on 74 minutes, which set up the winner, releasing Adamson, who made no mistake from 6 yards. Troggs saw out the game with the passion, if not the finesse, that the supporters have come to expect from a young side, widely tipped for promotion this season.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;MOM went to Richard Moon, who has always been a keen advocate of deciding such awards on effort rather than ability.  Keeper Rob and George Dyke can feel rightly aggrieved not to have received the nod this week.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Following the Sensational News that Roy Keane has left Manchester United by mutual Consent, Paul Newman marked his intent to be firmly in the race to sign the influencial midfielder. Newman said "Keane would be an ideal signing and I will definetly be in talks with his agent". &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The arrival of Keane on the wage bill would almost certainly force Newman to move some players on with want away playmaker Rich 'Nana' Moon favourite for the Boot. Mooney, believed to be on a 7 figure salary, is currently out of favour with the clubs management following a very public fued with assistant manager George Dyke. &lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p class="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Richard Moon (aka the Nana -pictured) has today put an end to speculation regarding his Troggs future. Moon released a short statement via his agent, Spankus Frank, today stipulating that he would be available for selection against league rivals ashford eagles on 27th Nov. Moon went on to blame a small faction of the smarden-based club's travelling support for the confusion. Moon has been unsettled at the club since the arrival of George Dyke as assistant Manager in the summer. In recent Press reports Dyke has described their relationship as 'strained'. It is understood that the two men are currently conversing through a third party, the team's journeyman left back Bruce 'chopper' Dyer. Moon refused to comment on the rift.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p class="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;source: A genuine text message from Mooney, relayed to us here at Troggs FC by Bruce 'chopper' Dyer himself. This text message is currently believed to be the longest in the world. The winners here: the phone networks.&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TroggsFc.co.uk contacted Dyke to hear his views on the matter and he responded in jest: "I see no problem with our relationship and I refuse to accept it will upset the harmony of the team, as suggested in some of the press. You only have to recall the succesfull sheringham and cole partnership at Man United; they didn't speak for 3 years and I see no reason why Mr. Mooney and I cannot follow suit"&lt;br&gt;
There remains no official comment from the club and the Moongate saga continues.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

In a keenly constested battle the Troggs enjoyed the majority of the possesion breaking down the Falcons on 25 mins as another crunching tackle from dyke left the ball at Newmans feet who spanked in a low drive from 20 yrds out. The Troggs should have scored again in the first half, Dyke and Mooney the main culprits. Special mention must go to Mooneys awesome effort at a lob, which the keeper caught around waist hieght. However, the gaffa was happy to come in at the break 1-0 up.&lt;br&gt;
The second half went much the same as the first with Gibbo and Adamson coming close and were it not for more poor mooney finishing and some good stops from the Falcons keeper this could have become a now customary Troggs rout. Falcons kept pushing for the equaliser and an impressive strike on 65 minutes was met with an equally impressive save from Rob. Newman brought on Pepper and Log on the wings and it seemed to do the trick as the Troggs wrapped up the game on 85 minutes. Newman slipped Mooney through and he finally found his scoring boots slotting the ball past the despairing Keeper. Newman finished off the Falcons and capped a fine individual performance putting away an Adamson cross on 87 minutes. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;MOM's aren't usually given in cup games but with 2 goals and an assist you'd have to give it to the gaffa.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The interesting point on the victory is that this Falcons side recently beat Ashford Eagles who are currently sitting in second place behind Troggs &lt;a href="http://full-time.thefa.com/gen/Table.do"&gt; &lt;em&gt;see table&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Newman commented that November 27th (Eagles at Home) is set to be the biggest game of the season so far.
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Ashford Rail opened the scoring early, but when Adamson released Mooney, there was only one outcome, 1-1. Adamson took his chances well twice putting the Troggs in the lead. However, Ashford Rail battled back both times and defensive errors saw the Troggs limp in 3-3 at the break. After the customary inspirational half time team talk from the gaffa, the Troggs came out with intent in the second half. They took a while to break the deadlock but, in Troggsland, when it rains it pours. Adamson opened the floodgates after dyke pinged a ball at his midriff which he somehow controlled and calmly slotted past the keeper. Adamson went on to score a second half hat-trick and Mooney notched his second and seventh of the season to add to rails misery. Adamson moves on to an impressive 18 goals in just 7 games and Gibbo, now trailing 6 behind, looks £20 out of pocket.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Adamson's 5 Goals were apparently not enough for the hard to please judges calling the man of the match and instead it went to Mooney who answered his critics by turning in what you could probably call his first decent performance of the season.&lt;/p&gt;

Chunk is running away with the assists chart, but then he did make the stats up...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Adamson, Gibbo, Mooney and Dyke all bag braces, Newman Jnr gets his first of the season and an o.g. that mika is trying to claim completed the rout. Temperamental youngster Josh Newman was awarded man of the match after his powerful header, 2 assists and a solid performance at the back- Although it was a close call, in the words of the opposition manager "Its between the little guy in midfield who scored a couple and the big guy at the back"&lt;/p&gt;
