Literary Football

And today's special, we bring you the live text commentary of the football match between, words-that-come-in-proverbs Utd vs words-that-come-in-proverb town. It is a proverb derby, the atmosphere here is so exciting , you can cut it with a blunt bread knife...


TEAM NEWS:
We can see the Utd players in the tunnel. Headed by captain Godliness. Cleanliness is next to godliness, followed by their youngest player today Invention. We can see the women clad in Red in the stands, she is Mrs.Necessity. Necessity is the mother of Invention. Then there are Howard Nine,James( nick named "The Wind"), Roger Earlybird and Winston Actions in midfield. Gary Words and Jonathan Fortune playing forwards. Vince Brave ,Pierce Cure play center backs and Invention and Godliness as full backs while Cleanliness is on goal.


Early possession for Utd as towns defense are being asked questions. .Towns goalkeeper Jimmy Stitch has been their saviour for so long, can he be the same today.

Necessity is dribbling along the flank, with Actions,Words and Nine in the box. Actions and Words are both calling for the ball, Actions speaks louder than words and gets the ball and passes onto NIne, who manges to get a powerful shot away. Goal!!..is it??...no!!!!. Stitch, in time, saves nine. Excellent Goalkeeping.


Actions splits the defense into two with an excellent pass to Fortune. Fortune's first touch is poor, so he s made drift along the flank. Fortune favours the brave with an excellent cross, trying to make amends for his poor first touch. Goal!!......1-0 !....Utd are in front. Brave scored with an excellent header.

Town are going on an all out attack immediately after the restart, their striker Albert Worm creating all sorts of problems to the Utd defense. Worm cuts in giving a clean set of heels to Godliness and Earlybird is tracking back. Penalty!.Early Bird catches the Worm. Its a penalty for Town. Wind is arguing with the referee. But the referee is having nothing of it. Oh! he is calling wind , he s gonna get booked. The referee throws caution to the wind.

Time is running out. Cure has been invisible throughout the match and the coach asks Prevention to warm up.He is obviously of the opinion that Prevention is better than Cure.

Town s fans nicknamed "the childs" are jeering at Ron Rod of town as he has had a stinker of a game. The manager makes a refreshing change bringing Rod off. Spare the rod, and spoil the child says the commentator.

The lst few minutes end without any interesting moves. And the final core here is 1-1.

Laters,

A-man-who-adds-"The" -in -front-of-nouns-according--to-his-comfort.
