I know; I feel your pain. Surely an eon has passed since the Austin Eagles last met? Could it
really be only two weeks ago that we feasted on our boys in red and blue raping and pillaging any that come their way? Can anyone pull me from this hellish existence and send me heaven bound to that dream like trance of post goal bliss. End me now, please.
These are the words I have heard from each and every Eaglet under my wing as days pass going cold turkey without that goal bound shot in the arm only Crystal Palace FC can provide. I can only hope and pray that the next two days go without any slitting of wings before our sporting heroes can once again grace that magic turf. Just hold on everyone, when we stomp on Everton this Saturday it's going to be like that first time all over again. Only this time with a 5' banner and matching t-shirts.
As we are all so painfully aware, last weekend saw no Premiership league action. However,
our brave boys in bands of blue played high flying and third in the league Southampton in a non televised game in the FA Cup. Just two months ago, we lost pitifully 3-1 to them. This time, we came from behind twice to win 3-2 to give our new manager his fourth win from four. We are truly unstoppable. We are now one of only 20 or so teams left who could hold aloft that prestigious cup trophy.
This Saturday we are back to the regular league against the usually solid Toffeemen of Everton who have now only won one game in their last 13 and are ripe for some bird strike.

- Fado management have cordoned off the "Vic Snug" area next to the front door for the Austin Eagles and have promised that every game with full sound will be playing before kick off.
- on a recent trip to rival footy bar "The Tavern", Co chairman Macey overheard a group of Arsenal "Gooners" exclaim that during the last game at Fados, he couldn't believe his eyes and ears when chants from a group of Palace fans drowned out the long-serving and rowdy Liverpool fans watching another game. Possibly the proudest moment of my life so far (excluding marriage, raising children and winning a yo-yo tournament with a particularly reckless version of Around the World) - the long-awaited Austin Eagles website is about to break ground with founder member Clay working diligently on content.
