Mocha 45

The exclusives just keep on comin', kids. This week, Foden icon and towering defender Big Russ Foulger has his say, and he ain't scared to say it:


What are Mocha's main areas of strength this year?

Referees have taken a lot of flak this year in the professional game, but outside the top-flight there was no more shocking decision making than that of Paul Hasler. So, I'd say that our biggest strength could be anyone else pulling on the black jersey. That aside, I think we're hungry; It was a humiliating defeat last year and we won't want two of those on the spin. I also sense a little complacency from Vintage this time round.


Who do you admire (in a non-sexual way) on the Vintage team?

What I like about them collectively is their confidence, but let me make it clear that we don't fear them. They may have embarrassed us last year but I reckon we're a potential banana skin for that lot this year. There's been a lot of personnel changes on both sides and I think they've suffered some losses whilst we've managed to consolidate. Individually, for work rate, you can't overlook Richard Holme. But I wonder whether he might have lost a yard or two over the year.

Don't get me wrong, Martin, I've got a couple of pink shirts in the wardrobe, if you know what I mean, but they don't impress me much. Sure, they've got their share of pretty boys, but I wouldn't go near any of them with yours.


How can Mocha lay the ghost of last year's defeat to rest?

We've got to show them we mean business right from the get go. Set our stall out early doors. I think if we can do that they'll run out of ideas pretty quickly and we're looking at a rout


Any prediction for the score?

What was the score last year? Well you can double that f*cker this time round. To us, though, obviously.
