The Set Piece – 3.32 – Bromaggeddon

The Pool Boys had their backs against the wall in two big competitions this week, after losing at the Camp Nou to Barca and blowing a big chance on an away goal, they had to collect themselves for a big matchup in the Premier League against their old Manager and Pizza Sub enthusiast, Rafa Benitez. Only a win would keep pressure on Manchester City and it took Divock Origi, wearing a Big Shot Bob costume, coming on as a sub for the injured Salah to settle things once and for all. Which only led to an even bigger letdown when the Big Head Bastard ignored his teammates and dropped the thunder strike of his life to all but hand back to back Premier League titles to Manchester City. Which led to Tuesday’s Second Leg vs Messi and the boys, Liverpool needed to shut out a squad littered with World Class players and score four of their own. Origi’s poacher’s mentality and a cheeky cheap shot from Luis Suarez led to a 3-0 Liverpool lead with the striking blow coming from a heads up moment from a 20 year old local legend with balls the size of Sam Cassell. While The Set Piece boys were catching their breath and dreaming of Gini Wijnaldum tattoos, across town guys wearing jeans and sport coats to work furrowed their brows. Their beloved Spurs were headed to Ajax to face a scrappy, technically gifted, polite squad with an away goal advantage. To top it off their Knight of the White Wall is wearing compression skinny jeans and off the pitch. With their Champions League hopes hinging on a Korean striker they slur and a tiny Brazilian. Tottenham only needed to win to advance, but after the first half they were down 2-0 and looked ready to concede more. Their Dutch counterparts fell victim to two second half quick fire goals and nerves of the moment as their shorts were weighed down by the shit in their pants and Lucas Moura shot himself into Tottenham Hotspur history in the final seconds. This sets up for Bromaggedon, with the Pool Boys and Bros meeting up in Madrid, winner gets the Champions League trophy.
