Top Ten - Nash's Next Car: Number 3!

As a continuation of one of our popular features, we're bringing you the next car in the series Top Ten - Nash's Next Car and we are getting close as we enter the top 3 today!

To summarize, we've heard that Lakehill United and all around funny guy, Brian Nash, is in the market for a new car.  We thought it would be fun to help him decide what to purchase right here on LakehillUnited.Blogspot over the next few weeks.

So far, we've featured cars 10 through 4 in our quest to find the ultimate vehicle for Nash.  Today we give you...


Nash's Next Car #3 - The Donk

You must be asking yourself: "How did I not see this coming?"  And you would be forgiven in not knowing the answer.

The Donk is a popular style in the American South where a 71-76 Impala is given massive wheels.  It is both ludicrous and heinous and our editor agrees that if one man can pull off the Donk, it would be Nash.

McDonald's Donk - Supersize this Beotch!!!

After flirting with all types of awesome in our Top Ten so far, the Donk represents a new style and direction for the big man.  Picture Nash big pimping in a lime green Donk with his homeboy Medeiros while bumping Vanilla Ice on some massive subs.  

Nutz optional - but preferred

This writer looks forward to the day when he has to explain to his kids why Uncle Nash has such a sweet ride and also why they aren't allowed to ride with him...

Stay tuned for more Top Ten - Nash's next car as we get ready to give you car #2.

Castaways 4, Arsenal 2 - United Not Good Enough at RAP*

On a dreary Saturday afternoon, Lakehill United took on top-half division rivals, Castaways F.C.

It what can only be described as an "Arsenal" type display, United proved capable of being both scintillating in attack and ludicrously poor in defence.

Castaways opened the scoring in the fifth minute by capitalizing on poor marking off a set-piece (sound familiar Arsenal fans).  A free kick was floated in from the left wing and the Casty's forward rose to head home unmarked.

Arsenal concede a similar header to Casty's first (1:03 in)

United continued to doze and were nearly punished again for some slack marking.  As the half wore on though, United got firmly into the driving seat and pressured the Castaways back line with some sublime passing moves.  Unfortunately there was just no finish to compliment the tidy attacking play.

United's passing was sublime at times

The half ended at 1-nil for Casty's but Lakehill knew that their chances would come and that they needed to take them when they did.

And come they did as United came out firing on all cylinders in the second half.  It was United who created several good early chances but were simply unable to finish.  Finally, United got an equalizer midway through the half.  

Unfortunately, the tie game was short lived as United conceded a second in dubious fashion after they had  chances to clear the ball out of their own area.

United, though, continued to attack and were rewarded once again with a goal in what was turning into a thriller for all the wrong reasons.

Unfortunately, that was as close as they would come to any points as not once, but twice, Castaways punished some weak defending and went on to win the game.

United will be hoping for more this weekend as they entertain Cowichan at the Foot.

Man of the Match: N/A
