Market

Karl Caruana asks to leave Pieta Hotspurs

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Pieta Hotspurs

Karl Mohnani was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

Pieta Hotspurs ask about Dennis Ademola

A loan enquiry to Birkirkara: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout

Jake Brimmer asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Still no signature from Ben Hughes

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Pieta Hotspurs could get for him.

Market

The Karl Mohnani talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Pieta Hotspurs know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

A fracture rules Luca Dimech out for 55 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Pieta Hotspurs will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Pieta Hotspurs — 7.73

1 for Cleiton Thiesen, marked 7.73, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

A falling-out at Pieta Hotspurs

Karl Mohnani and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sean Gatt

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sean Gatt, and the manager let it.

Match

Honours even between Pieta Hotspurs and Marsa

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout

Cleiton Thiesen has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Pieta Hotspurs will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Interim Coach on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Interim Coach after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Market

Pieta Hotspurs and William Apenteng are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Looking ahead

A test against the best for Pieta Hotspurs

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Valletta.
