Wonderboys manager hopes last day nerves can be avoided
Billy Whizz's Wonderboys can confirm their promotion tonight in front of a home crowd if the can beat Super Starzz tonight at Shitters Palace.
The Wonderboys are 5 points ahead of nottingham forest fc with 2 games to play, and if forest fail to win tonight against Man Utd SER, the Whizzers will be promoted whatever their result, however manager Billy Whizz has urged caution in this mornings press conference:
"It looks very good, and we've received some messages of congratulations already, however the job isn't done yet. A win tonight, and we can celebrate for sure, with our fans as well, but at the minute, we need to be working hard, so that tonight can be something to remember."
"Last time round, Super Starzz gave us a good hiding, but I think that defeat actually invigorated us, and started a superb run for us in the league. We can't go out there thinking we've won, because we haven't, and if we become complacent we will be punished, we know that. My job therefore, is to get the players focussed, and make the football the main event - we all know whats at stake here, and its up to the guys to get out there and deliver"
Whizz will be without winger Phillipe Konz, who was injured in the victory over Derby County FC, and defender Matt Hawthorn. Jamie Cort will deputise on the left wing, while Rob Liddell will play DML, with O'Reilly slotting in at left back.

Wonderboys in touching distance
Strong showing puts Whizzers inches away from Division 4
Billy Whizz's Wonderboys overcame their nerves to see off Derby County FC at Shitters Palace tonight, meaning they are 5 points ahead of nottingham forest fc, with just 2 games to play.
Having looked so comfortable for many weeks, Wednesday nights defeat to Milky Milky seemed to bring pessimistic Wonderboys fans to the fore, and there was a somewhat tense atmostphere around the Palace before kick off, which in turn seemed to transfer to the players. Both teams had early opportunities, yet were wasteful, with Konz, Fribo and Richards all forcing Derby keeper Moru into saves, while Leese was forced into a full stretch dive to keep out Jordan's header.
However, the home fans were given reason to celebrate when Mick Richards fired home after nice work by Maurice Meredith, meaning there was a little more optimism durind half time.
The second half was a scrappy affair, with both teams failing to orchestrate attacks, despite decent spells in possession. Konz headed straight at Moru shortly after the interval, and Leese reacted well to a long range effort from Smith, but they were the only two shots on target in the second half, until Richards popped up again to squeeze home his 12th goal of the season in the dying minutes of the game, securing a crucial victory for the Whizzers.
Even a late injury to Konz, ruling him out for the remaining two games, didn't cool the celebrations, and Shitters palaced rumbled, as the Wonderboys faithful realised Division 4 football was within their grasp. Just 2 points are needed to secure promotion, and possibly less if other results are favourable. One gets the feeling that the match at home against Super Starz on Sunday may just be a sell out,

Blog to keep name
Billy Whizz's Wonderboys chairman Jack Richardson confirmed that the URL of the BWW blog would remain the same today in a club statement:
"We have tried over the last few days to try and find ways which will ensure maximum publicity for our blog. One such way was to change the URL of the blog to bww.blogspot.com, or something similar. Unfortunately this has proved impossible, and as such, the address will stay as it is."
"I would like to ensure fans that the club are never stopping in thinking of ways to improve the quality of the blog, in all areas. We would like to thanks viewers and readers for their support so far, and hope that we can build up an even larger readership base in the future"

Young defender could leave the Palace
Wonderboys receive enquiry for 18 year old Dwight Connolly
Transfer preparations for Season 25 are heating up at Shitters Palace, with incomings as well as outgoings being planned. The latest development is that hills of chazza are believed to have asked the Wonderboys how much they would want for youngster Dwight Connolly. The central defender has progressed well since being awarded a first team contract, but could raise vital cash for the Whizzers if they need to prepare for Division 4 football.
A similar enquiry was made for Thomas Avery last week by an unknown club, but nothing has yet been made concrete, and no official bids have been placed.
The Wonderboys have been closely monitoring the situation of Locomotive United striker Joe Britain. The 23 year old has scored 23 goals in Division 6 so far, and is thought to be available for around 50m. Other possibile purchases include Chammys XI's GYAN. Chammys are keen to sell the striker, and interest is thought to be high. Searches for a right midfielder have so far been fruitless, with Billy Whizz withdrawing from advanced negotiations with 2 clubs, as he searches for a replacement to Maurice Meredith.

Wonderboys 2 wins away
Wonderboys dominate but fail to secure victory as thrilling season nears end
Billy Whizz's Wonderboys had to settle for a point at Shitters Palace tonight against wybourn allstars, despite being the superior team on the night.
The Wonderboys had 4 times as many shots as the visitors, but their accuracy let them down, with only a third of the Whizzers shots testing oppositiong goalkeeper Osk. The point does edge them nearer to Division 4 though, with only 6 points needed from 4 games to ensure that the Wonderboys will be promoted.
"Following on from the game on Friday, it's a fairly pleasing result." said manager Billy Whizz, "Were it not for some terrible shooting, I think we would have won the game at a canter this evening, but thats football. We can keep our heads held high, because we were better in the vast majority of departments, and we just need to concentrate now for the final stretch"
Whizz has been planning carefully his recruitment plans for Season 25, with a striker and a right midfielder his top priorities. No deal has been agreed yet, and it is thought that no players will be bought before the Season Update without player sales. The club have received an official enquiry for striker Thomas Avery from an unnamed Division 6 club, but no firm bids have been placed for any player on the Wonderboys' books.
