PREMIER LEAGUE OBJECTIVE AND UNBIASED
NEWSLETTER MAY 10th 2025
Well, having promised a bit of attention to the Premier League this season, the opening games are filling in results as we speak, and I best get on with it. Starting out, here's hoping that the world will yet again somehow right itself and reach a point of - if not mutual understanding - then at least a point of mutually ignoring loud and recurring differences. Before everyone paints everyone into corners they cant get back out of, let's remember that this is only a game and we can better focus our hatreds towards the Orange Ape in the States and the Hobbit House Elf in the maybe not so former Soviet Imp-ire.
In any case, yes its me, the extremely handsome and much lauded Tiddler setting out on the vast sojourn of occasionally commenting on the happenings in the Premier this crucial season. For this purpose, Ive dug around in dusty crates and forgotten moldy old bags and lo and behold - The Seal Goal press will be revived and fronting the shenanigans will be none other than the Legendary manager Säfdahl that has agreed to come out of retirement to coach the Seal Goals in a weird amalgam that could include some of the best hits of the Hattrick Coach Mafia Wars. Or not as the case may be. - We may need to space for insulting the Mouth.
- I realize that the above references will be picked up on by exactly 2 people, one of them writing and one of them unfortunately dead, but this could all change during the season mainly due to the Tiddlers amazing handsomeness and grand popularity.
In any case the beginning beckons.
The very initial games, as expected, did little to set out a trend. An early win and a draw was the initial bid on first place with a tail of teams with an early win or an early draw following. Already that's forgotten as now the early results are coming on the board in earnest.
It's safe to say that it's not looking much clearer even though the top runners are now registering 3-5 completed games. Most of the league is in fact registering between 1 and 1.4 points per game. Runeldo is a small exception edging just out of the pack to a small lead with 6 points for 4 games and a 1.5 ppg. Carl the Mouth and Dusty follow with 5 points for 4 and 5 games respectively. Maroshka, Ukey and Aviator all have 4 points for 3 games with Jumbo hanging in there also on 4 points but for 4 games.
So its basically still a freeforall, where any sort of trend is hard to come by and the bag is bound to be shaken up freely and frequently.
Especially as Uckucki and Rousseau follow with 3 points for 2 and 3 games respectively and the rest go into very few registered games as of yet. Tviorr the very handsome Tiddler has 2 points for a win and a lot of potential as points are of course about to rain down on him. Elswick is trailing a bit also with 2 points but for 3 games.
Kongming, Shoop, Bilbo, Wheelwright, Mathman and Josko are bringing up the rear with 1 or 0 points but everyone with only 1 registered game except Mathman who has chalked up 2 initial losses.
Basically every single bastard still has everything to play for. This of course means that we’ve learned nothing and pretty much wasted our time completely with the above.
So lets look a bit closer at a couple of matches. And lets devote a lot of unfair attention to a completely objective and unbiased record of Tiddler matches.
It wasn't really an early win against Maroshka as head coach Tviorr Säfdahl led the after game fan discussions until the last few Maroshka fans ran away leaving just a few people behind, who had accidentally caught on fire. It was however a win, the first game and the first points on the board. Maroshka is quickly becoming a favorite pounding block of the Seal Goals as the current first leg of the cup match is also looking like a 3-1 win.
It looked like it was needed though, as the game against Shoop long looked like it would be an uphill battle. It was indeed off to a bad start as Tviorr Säfdahl loaded the Seal Goals into the rusty old team bus and took off heading to the away game. After several hours driving around Mogul city, he had to give up finding shoops stadium and went home to crack open a much deserved brewski only to find that this was in fact Shoops home field. It turns out that the Seal Goals have been renting space in Shoops stadium all along.
Being somewhat late for the game had already squandered most of the Seal Goals chance of and upset, but they fought valiantly while Säfdahl found that he had the keys for all the doors and disappeared for a while. In the interim Shoop found that somehow every single keg of beer had disappeared from the stadium storage. Säfdahl later vehemently denied having anything to do with it when he finally woke from an unrelated alcoholic coma. The momentum in the match, however, carried to 0-2 as the ShoopTroop took advantage of a random game as well, spurred on by very provocative “Go Team” chants by the Shoop fans.
This is however when the Seal Goals rallied. Free beer inexplicably showed up both for the team and the fans and after the Seal Goal fans had expertly conquered the home stands with an ample display of skill distributing Molotov Cocktails liberally, the Seal Goals went to 1-2 in the confusion upon which the Shoop fans took refuge behind some beehives behind the stadium. As it turns out, bees seemingly aren't a match for a huge flaming fireball even if they do have a very large hive to work from. The match is still ongoing, but the shoop fans have all but given up, so it looks like the Own Goals will claw the 2-2 and a point out of the burning hive.
The same tactics are currently looking like they are bearing fruit against Kingmin. Currently a random 1-1, the Seal Goals are looking to take the home field advantage with arson in the Mogul Stadium and the away team advantage by going Medieval on Kingmin in the Baltics.
Another battle is currently raging against the Mouth, which we might come back to in a later issue of the Premier League Newsletter. It's undecided as of yet, but for one funny story, The Mouth arrived at Mogul Stadium, took one look at the burn damage both in the stands and in the pitch and resigned even before the referee's opening whistle. He then built a small shrine to Tviorrs beauty in the middle of the pitch and prostrated himself before it. - This is exactly the kind of courage that the Seal Goal fans like to see from opponents, and thus he was allowed to leave relatively unmolested.
The next newsletter should be out in a few weeks. Points and a jump up the league table for the Seal Goals are expected in this thoroughly objective and unbiased piece of fair minded reporting.
