Is this an extract from a Charles Dickens novel? :
“Whilst there are rumblings of unease amongst some sectors of the team and the Red Army, the faithfuls will, nevertheless, again traverse the Pennines on Friday evening to hopefully help blunt the Blades at Bramall Lane. Our 2 cities will face each other for the City of Culture play-off next year. But this important battle is more imminent, and will be fought under their bright lights. This is our best opportunity to win a game before another disruptive international break. But even with wearing my ‘lucky pants and socks’, I simply cannot see us winning this”
Blackheath Bard's reply:
I doth foresee an entertaining encounter for our nations televisual delight, between the tempered and honed steelmen of the North and the self proclaimed United States of Wrexham Wales, the scarlet attired boyos from the Racecourse.
The scarlets leader, a scruffy, grumpy urchin will pit his wits against the steelmen's brusque and uncompromising General, Chrissius Wilder, he that punches the air in exultation with green bottle in hand. I predict that the winner of this classic encounter will prevail of the three points and be acclaimed as the City of Culture.
Cheers Roy. 2-1 Blades
