GGP 3 Doubters 3
An exciting first half in the 'Stadium of Gold saw GGP let in three early goals against the run of play. Gervais Heddle, who had had a great start, was unfortunate to see the ball deflect off his back while negotiating a wage settlement. Sandeep Biswas made it two by avoiding all contact with the GGP defenders and slotting the ball neatly to the ageing Telfer, now 50, waiting on the left field of play. Minutes later, Stephen 'Pop' Bentham, rumoured to have cost over 200 million, rose like a salmon at the far post and netted in the third.
3-0 down but undeterred, the home side reminded the visitors what they were up against by using all twelve tenement blocks at once and drilling in a fine goal from the midfielder Scallywag. Gervais Heddle then made amends for his earlier mishap by heading in an unbelievable goal from the halfway line, aided and abetted by the overhead VAR. Right on half-time Hannam completely distracted the opposition by reminding them of the current value of the stadium while cheekily toe poking the ball which broke through a bewildered opposition and into the net.
So it is 3-3 at half time with everything to play for. Rumour has it the GGP have some star-studded substitutes lined up and the odds are now back in their favour. Exciting stuff!
