Match Report

It was a game of two halves. Half of it was Benton City the other half M.I.A. Both sides looked like scoring more, but with the score even at 5 - 5 clearly neither side did.
It looks like Harry Honk was playing for the draw today. Or maybe Benton City are just tired and their Penalties training programme needs fine-tuning.
Julian Alvarez was absent because he'd just had Sky installed and couldn't tear himself away from a fascinating documentary about whale sex.
Benton City's Dinah Sore read his horoscope before the game it said he would achieve a goal today. It was wrong, he achieved 2 goals.
The ref had a few words with one of the M.I.A team for a reckless tackle. He would have booked him, but when asked for his name he said it was Mangbockverstschnivelnickle Xantiamarklebrumbunkle. The ref just put his book away.
Most of M.I.A clearly thought 2 5 3 was the boss' phone number. Why else did they ignore his formation instructions.
As the players from Benton City and M.I.A headed to the local boozer after the game, a fight broke out over who had the worst manager. That fight also ended in a draw.
You know you've been lucky when the emotion at picking up a point is relief. But which manager was it who could be heard breathing a sigh of relief?
