The Monthly Round Up strikes back
Not a fan of the Round Up, then?
21 February 2007
Picture the scene. Many moons ago. In the rough and tough playgrounds of primary school. The school bullies would approach The Round Up, push us around, shove us to the floor, and ask "Doyoulickadickaday?"
Not knowing exactly how to respond and because replying in the affirmitive always seemed the cool thing to do: "Yeah", we would reply whilst dusting ourselves down, "of course", only to find ourselves eating mud and concrete seconds later. Lessons had to be learned. And fast.
And many moons later, my how the tables turned! For the Round Up became a majestic and magnificent specimen, prepared to flex its muscles and pummel all pretenders into submission with its might. So what's the lesson here? Violence begets violence? An eye for an eye? Don't bully children or they'll end up chasing long lost dreams on cold nights at Chalk Farm? Who knows? Our state of mind has never been professionally evaluated and we've never felt compelled to lie back on a couch and spill the beans on our troubled childhood. But Psychology Allstars, who face Renaissance tonight, will have approximately 36 minutes (give or take exchanged pleasantries) to probe and chip away at Renaissance's core.
How de we think they'll fare? Well, although The Round Up quit the tarot card reading business a month ago after falling ten goals and two limbs short against Warne FC we're now going to stick our neck on the line and *suggest* PAS will go down faster than Audley Harrisson in a boxing ring, Rod Hull after fixing his TV aerial, or comedian Harry Hill on a TV executive.
PAS bailed out on Renaissance last month and were deducted three points so this game presents a good opportunity for them to start their rehabilitation. For Renaissance it's a chance to high tail it to the top of the league and leave Allstars bound in oodles of expensive therapy.
Renaissance are likely to take to the field with a Brunelleschi-shaped hole in the team after he pulled a hamstring at the weekend. But otherwise, everyone else is available for selection at the time of writing.
Renaissance (from):
Masaccio; Rembrandt, The Shaman, Da Vinci; Col, The Realist, The Artist; Cartman, Verrocchio.
