Well done to everyone who took part in this year’s competition - a cracking night - roll on 2010! Congratulations to Times Online, commiserations to The Telegraph and, erm, Yahooligans: your spoon is in the post…
Scout Report: ids
Our scout sees promise in these young ambitious chaps (as the sales house for Setanta Sports, football is in their blood) but the final line-up shows stiff competition - what do the ids squad have to say for themselves?
Scout Report: JCDecaux
Smooth, confident, courageous and of French origins… are we talking about Zidane? Cantona? Deschamps? Nope, Decaux.
Scout Report: Newsquest Media Sales
Newsquest Media Group: the 2nd largest regional media group in the UK …so one would think that it shouldn’t be hard to find 7 football players of some reasonable standard. Are the Newsquest boys as passionate about the beautiful game as they are about delivering to their 4,000+ advertisers?
Scout Report: Clear Channel
Last year’s triumphant winners, Clear Channel are looking strong and ready to give the rest of the pack a run for their money. Will the confident headless chicken strategy do them justice a second year running?
Scout Report: Titan Outdoor
A solid team last year, but with shaky luck on the day, losing in the Plate final to BBC Magazines - their battle cry was “Remember the Titans!” - will they perform more memorably this year?
Scout Report: Yahoo!
New to this year’s tournament are the self-professed Yahooligans from Yahoo! - confident and courageous it seems - is this an indication of their talent or is it simply because they’ve not met the competition before?
Scout Report: Loot
Runners up in the Associated Cup last year, Loot are a 5-a-side team with a proven track record.
Scout Report: Times Online
This year, the team’s manager Jonny Hill takes a less aggressive stance making us wonder whether this is a cunning tactic to knock the other teams off their guard.
