Sky Sports - Football Friday!!

JEFF: Hello Sky Sports viewers, welcome to a Soccer Friday, tonight I will be joined in the studio by Paul Merson, Matt Le Tissier and Charlie Nicholas and we will be focusing on the Friday Night game at the Sports Park UEA between The Greens and The Colours. I apologise for a lack of report for Wednesdays game I think Darren may have misplaced his thesaurus. Good evening gents!

MERSON: Evening Jeff.

LE TISS: Evening.
CHARLIE: Evening Jeff.

JEFF: And of course we have our on the pitch side commentator, the ever excitable Chris Kamara!!!!!

KAMARA: Hello Jeff! Well the teams are now out on the pitch ready to kick off. The sides look fairly equal, it’s about 9 a side after adding on any late comers so thankfully it’s not a repeat of Black Wednesday which before this match was being hailed as one of the worst UEA matches ever…with reported teams of 13 a side, I’m glad we’re not seeing that tonight Jeff!!

JEFF: Indeed Chris, that is really too many players for the UEA pitch. Charlie, just before they kick off how do you think tonight will pan out.

CHARLIE: Well Jeff I think the colours will be very dangerous on the attack, they have Rich up front who has been catching Capellos eye recently but he is being backed up with Zak and Darren, that is a very dangerous front line. But saying that the Colours will have Pete, Joe and Dan on the attack.

JEFF: They were reports that Dan might have had double vision leading into this match.

MERSON: No, that’s not true, he was with me before the match…in the library……and he was fine :/

JEFF: Well the game is now underway, how have the early exchanges gone Matt?

MATT: Well Jeff, it’s a tight game as predicted and being run by the midfield maestros Guy and Geir. The Colours took an early lead but the Greens have now levelled.

JEFF: We were discussing earlier the pace that Joe and Pete give the Greens in attack.

MERSON: That’s right Darren has been phenomenally quick for the Greens going forward.

JEFF: Haha. Merce I think you’ll find Darren is on the colours team.

MERSON: Hahaha….No…no….I meant Joe….I blame Dan for dragging me down the p……..uhhhmmmm library beforehand.

JEFF: Lets go to Chris at the ground.

KAMARA: WELL JEFF IT’S INCREDIBLE FOOTBALL HERE, END TO END STUFF, GEIR, FRASER, JAMES AND ZAK ARE PRODUCING SOME GOOD ATTACKING FOOTBALL FOR THE COLOURS AND TONY IS BEING A GIANT AT THE BACK FOR THEM. THE GREENS ARE USING JOE AND PETES PACE WELL UPFRONT AND MOMODOU IS PRODUCING A MAN OF THE MATCH PERFORMANCE IN DEFENCE FOR THEM, WITH HIM AND BARRY I THINK THE COLOURS WILL HAVE TO BE AT THEIR BEST TO BREAK THEM DOWN.

JEFF: Thank you Chris, as always a loud energetic update. I think we are all slightly deafened after that. Charlie, the match is well in now what are your thoughts?

CHARLIE: Well Jeff The Greens are edging it at the moment, firstly thanks to come great, quick attacking play but secondly thanks to Barry and Momodou at the back….blocking everything Jeff!!! Darren, Tao, Geir, Zak and Rich are giving them a torrid time. But Dan, Joe and Pete are being just as menacing up front and Guy is holding a firm line in midfield, he is really holding that team together.

MATT: I agree, Momodou is putting in a sterling performance!

JEFF: Has the low sun been an issue tonight?

CHARLIE: It has played a bit of havoc with some high balls coming in but in general the teams have coped well with it.

JEFF: Merce are you with us?

MERSON: {texting}..meet you in the .....after the game. Oh!! Sorry Jeff, they’ve both coped with it really well with it Jeff!

JEFF: Ok….lets go back to Chris as the match reaches its finale.

JEFF: Chris can you hear me?? Chris!!!!!!!

KAMARA: SORRY JEFF THIS GAME IS JUST SO ENTHRALLING!! JEFF BOTH TEAMS ARE REALLY GOING FOR IT BUT THE GREENS ARE EDGING IT AND LOOKING LIKE THEY’LL NICK IT IN THE END…BUT THEY’VE HAD TO DO IT WITH SOME VALIANT DEFENDING….BARRY, MOMODOU, MATT AND MARCUS HAVE ALL BEEN CLEARING THE LINES…..DARREN AND GEIR HAVE BEEN ATTACKING FROM THE RIGHT, JAMES AND ZAK FROM THE LEFT AND RICH IN THE CENTRE THEY JUST CAN’T FIND A WAY PAST JEFF AND TAO IS PUTTING IN A BATTLING DISPLAY!

JEFF: Chris both teams have played some good football today, has the difference been the finishing?

KAMARA: WELL JEFF BOTH DEFENCES HAVE BEEN SOLID BUT THE COLOURS HAVE JUST BEEN ABLE TO BATTLE ON THE LINE THAT BIT BETTER….DESPITE TONYS EFFORTS, HE HAS WON EVERYTHING HE HAS GONE FOR IN THE AIR TONIGHT!! BUT PETE HAS BEEN DEADLY IN FRONT OF GOAL AND JOE’S PACE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT THREAT. HE HAS IN SOME QUARTERS BEEN DUBBED THE UEAS ANSWER TO THEO WALCOTT!

JEFF: Thank you Chris…..Well as we speak the final whistle has just gone with the Greens winning it by a couple of goals. Matt what are your thoughts.

MATT: A very good game, even teams and some good passing attacking football played.

CHARLIE: I agree, it was good numbers tonight unlike the apparent hoards on Black Wednesday, the teams were even and there was enough space to have a good game of football.

JEFF: And what did you think of the game Merce?

JEFF: Merce…………..Where's Merce gone?

JEFF: Ok well thank you, I hope you enjoyed the game and see you next time!!
