Why we are the greatest, without doubt!

Sipwell is back in his old neighbourhood, cleared of all vicious charges laid upon him in the last couple of weeks. After his treatment at the clinic, he was threatened with a brain transplant and would have been 40 IQ points less smart – from a not that bad 136 to a meagre 96. But in the end intellect, combined with black belt power, saved his day. He escaped the danger zones of the world, travelled illegally through a number of European countries and arrived back home, safe and sound! He thanks the powersoccer crew for their moral support and airfix_9 for his sympathetic donation of 400 euros. Sipwell was unaware of the fact that airfix_9 is in fact the cousin of the stepmother of prince William and has plenty of money to spend… Strangely enough he didn’t pour a lot of his cash into Fulham, except for his season ticket and the money he pays to beat his drum (he has to pay off all the bystanders as he beats it completely without rhythm and with a horrible timing; for the intellectuals around: even worse than the kid in Die Blechtrommel). But that is an issue you have to discuss with Mr. Bristles himself!
When Sipwell returned to powersoccerland, he was full of surprise about the fact that everything was still the same. The Marx Brothers were still the most loved clan in powersoccer, praised and hailed by everyone. Airfix_9 was still the most interviewed user of powersoccer (apparently your humble servant is non-communicado for all reporters; I wonder whether Airfix_9 his shattered self-image has anything to do with that). All Marx Brothers were still functioning as admins or helping the community out in all capacities possible. And all Marx Brothers kept on losing or drawing, as membership requires it! Marx Brothers figured on the 'Featured Clans', almost on top... A place we will not give up easily or without a fight.


There was one thing that struck Sipwell though. When he checked the dashboard, his attention was drawn to a new feature: Top 10 posters. Not only does Sipwell figure on place 3; Airfix_9 figured on spot 6. Together they have written more posts (if you deduct all the senseless posts from BDKAS clan brothers) in a shorter time span than the first two figuring on the top list. After all: hogweed and powdersnow had more than two years to reach the number of posts they have now. Airfix_9 joined only in July while Sipwell joined in September (and for those who forgot: Sipwell was absent in February).

Dedication, love for the game and its players… those are the characteristics of a great team. Those are the characteristics of Marx Brothers clan! I am happy to be back amongst friends, I am happy to be back in powersoccer.



PS. Click somewhere in this post on the name of Airfix_9. That is the goal we set for his new moustache!
