MATHEMATICS
I’ve got 14 bookings
this season, 8 of which
were my fault and 7 of
which were disputable.
Argentina are the second best
team in the world, and there’s
no higher praise than that.
This will be their nineteenth
consecutive game without a win
unless they can get an equaliser.
Kevin Keegan and I have 63
international caps between
us. He has 63 of them.
Ireland will give 99 per cent
– everything they’ve got.
Southampton have beaten
Brighton by 3 goals to 1. That’s
a repeat of last year’s result
when Southampton won 5–1.
They’ve won 66 games, and
scored in all of them.
Ritchie has now scored 11
goals, exactly double the
number he got last season.
We must have had 99 per cent of
the game. It was the other 3 per
cent that cost us the match.
One year I played for
fifteen months.
The last time Ireland played
England we beat them one–all.
They had a dozen corners,
maybe twelve, I’m guessing.
Mirandinha will have more
shots this afternoon than
both sides put together.
Meade had a hat-trick.
He scored two goals.
If you had to name one person to
blame it would have to be the players.
So that’s 1–0. It sounds like
the score at Boundary Park,
where of course it’s 2–1.
The first ninety minutes of a football
match are the most important.
Most football teams are
temperamental. That’s 90 per cent
temper and 10 per cent mental.
