OK, so first things first. This team probably werent called the 'monsters' but they fucking should have been. Their smallest player was bigger than Oli, our geordie killing machine. These guys looked like they eat people for a living. And we came out on top, we beat them, they tried to bully us out of the game but it didn't work. This match felt like a war, and we won it.
We began the game brightly, in the pre-match team talk having decided to pass the ball around quickly as we had more pace than them. Being big lads, they instantly tried to bully us, but we refused to be intimidated and gave as good as we got. Perry Barcelona took an early lead when Dan finished off a fantastic passing move and the lead was doubled minutes later when Pughie scored a rocket from the left wing. Dan had been instructed to stay up-front and finish off the moves, which he did to great effect, finishing our 3rd to give Perry Barcelona a comprehensive lead. Todd got in several brave blocks and made many strong tackles to keep the opposition at bay, whilst Nev pulled off a string of stunning saves. However, the lead was lessened as the opposition started to get into attacking postions more as our passing game suffered. Too much time was given to their players, who willfully shot. They got it back to 3-2 before Oli scored to restore our lead. Tapi struggled to make an impact on the game having turned up late and in inappropriate footwear, leaving him looking like Bambi on ice. By half-time, the monsters had managed to pull level with powerful shots that left Nev struggling to hold on to.
A half-time team talk confirmed that we could, and should, win the game despite it resembling a war-zome. Personally, I (Todd) was pumped up to hell and relishing the fights, having already punched one in the stomach behind the ref's back after he elbowed me. Everyone was playing quite well and we knew that if we kept playing nice football then the goals would come.
We quickly restored our lead after half-time with Dan finishing off another quick passing move. However, they upped the aggression and the referee was absolutely awful. He gave us absolutely nothing and them everything. Todd got floored with a punch (accidental mind) and the ref gave them a free-kick for sliding in. Absolute idiot. Pughie scored another before Oli performed the greatest piece of showboating known to man. Screw Cristiano Ronaldo and his fancy stepovers, Oli got the ball in the corner having been kicked in the legs constantly. He trapped the ball and shouted "Kick me now, you c**t." The defender replied "I'll punch your teeth out." Oli responded by skinning him and nearly scoring. He did manage to score minutes later though, with a shot that despite travelling slower than a stoned snail managed to go through the keepers hands and legs into the net. The monsters scored a goal that should never have been, Todd practically being the victim of rape as they took the ball from him and scored. Despite protests, the cheating w****r of a referee let the goal stand. Which made it all the sweeter when with less than 2 minutes remaining, having had many 1 on 1's, Az crept through and slotted it neatly into the corner to give us a two goal lead. They scored with the last kick of the game, but it was not enough as Perry Barcelona won the game.
A fantastic performance, with nobody hiding despite some really tasty tackles flying in. Play like that every week and we will be fine.
