Provoking Evolution?

Ben White today had another blinder against Provoke Evolution at the Shed of Dreams this morning. With a humid 22 degrees outside, the temperatures inside the cauldron must have soared to at least 24. Rovers welcomed back Charlie Smith into the Rovers line up from the frozen wastelands of Portsmouth. Provoke Evolution cunningly turned up late and for a while it looked like a default, but once the game got underway it was clear they had decided that getting physical was the way to blunt the Rovers game. "They reminded me a lot of how we used to play when Chris Riddle was around" said Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall "they finally wracked up five fouls and we got a penalty, and it was nice to see it happening to another team and not us". Hall was cautioned for retaliation himself showing that Rovers hadn't completely lost the reputation for putting it about. "I thought we were pretty average today but that was a result of the way the opposition tried to provoke us" said Hall "but Ben certainly was on his attacking game although I think we missed Eddie at the back". Hall said it Rovers would need to go up a cog or two to beat Ten Left Feet but he couldn't complain about thirteen goals being scored.

Final Score: Rovers 13 Provoke Evolution 2

I've been watching Heroes and I don't think any of the Rovers squad have special powers.
