@dadsarmybyron 5–4 Sons Of Pitches.
El Clásico era una guerra. (Loosely translated: that was a war.)
Both squads were patched together last night, injuries, absentees and chaos which only dialled the pressure up.
With the butcher running late, Twinkle Toes
@freemo_75 was in goal. Flapping at crosses like an injured bird and showboating like a drunk monkey, a rare blend of skill and shite, best left off the leash.
When the Butcher
@jayoharae finally rocked up he slid into midfield like fans slide into the DMs, slow and smooth with velour-trackie energy. When you grab your steaks today, ask how the knees are holding up.
The Bouncer
@moradabuild and the
@kylelionhart went at it early, and a second-half wrestle was tighter than expected. Son or no son, if you’re on the pitch, you're fair game.
TK
@tkconstructions was everywhere. Bagged 2 again. Set a new BBFC sprint record turning defence into attack for that schweeet volley. Whole family pitch-invaded, swear I saw Vlad and Jackie charging on.
The Chef,
@bowerpower78 fresh off prom night, finished his two chances like a magpie on bin night. Scrappy, hungry, unstoppable. Three in two for him. Season of his life. Those PT sessions are paying rent.
The Consultant,
@nwatto billing by the minute, earned every cent. No renewables here, just pure octane.
The Don -
@simmooooo purred like a freshly tuned car rolling out of the garage. Rock solid, powerful, goal and assist. Huge to have him back.
Pirlo -
@jumpinjimflash was joyful on the ball, arms waving like he was at a school disco. Cruelly cut short by a suspected metatarsal — replay confirms the Lion feasted again.
Bam-Bam
@wombat_cliffy , quiffless and rocking a fresh No.2 from Eight Brothers, was relentless but strangely zen. Zero yellows. Zero agg. The beast sleeps… for now.
Massive respect to SoP, they were unreal. If the match ran two more minutes this write-up would’ve been cooked. They’d have had us.
@benny.roche - The Samba King, you can come home anytime you want.
@nickgroeneveld you'd have loved that last night, get home safe.
@julian_holman stay strong!
@peter.enright.39 MIA??
But they didn’t.
On we march.
