1. Welcome to England!

 

  



Amongst the rolling green hills of Merrie Olde England, in a forgotten corner of an old industrial town or city, from the mass expanses of Hackney Marshes, to the village playing fields the national sport that was invented on these shores 150 years ago is still played purely for love of the game. There is no money, there are no Bentleys, no Gucci kit bags, no fame or glory, but just pure passion for football.

On paper we have to much quality for this league and it is beginning to show. Board Confidence Update To summarise they are delighted with my performance as manager, are semi-ok with the results and are delighted with the 9-0 (who wouldn’t be), but devastated about our 2-1 defeat to Leeds City Reserves (a helpline was opened to help Morley fans cope) They also like my vertical tika taka tactics (eh? I’m playing a Mike Bassett Style 4-4- flippin 2). The Morley supporters led by the ultras of the Glen Road Estate are equally as happy with the entertaining football on display.
