I should coco
A little harsh on a well meaning body of men
You're playing the pub team at home. You know you are bigger and better and it is a clear fact you have Premiership quality players.
To make things even funnier, once promoted with their third division team, they went out and bought MORE third division players!
Conceding two was a real shock but surely 'our' better players would come good once their pashun ran out and they tired. A well deserved goal before half time and it was obvious 'we' would wipe the floor with them in the second. A great equaliser from a popular young player and it was now clear 'we' would trounce them. Brilliant singing and the best bouncing ever. Thirty thousand people on all three sides of the ground were mocking the scrubbers and now they were going to get a footballing lesson...
Then some unknown journeyman takes 'our' wonder defenders apart and scores a flukey goal. Unfairly they didn't allow us to get back in our stride and the bastards got another. To make us even unhappier it was a crap player 'we'd' rejected years ago. Game over and despite chucking on 'super sub Rhodes', we had been taught a footballing lesson.
