Bloopers 52,000 people here at Maine Road tonight, but my goodness me, it seems like
50,000 In the Scottish Cup you only get one crack at the cherry against Rangers or
Celtic And now we have the formalities over, we'll have the National Anthems Wembley way is beginning to blacked with people in terms of red and blue Plenty of goals in Divisions 3 & 4 today. Darlington nil, Hereford nil. Anything from 1-0 to 2-0 would be a nice result That now means that from the British point of view, Anderlecht lead 3-2 There were two second division matches last night, both in the second division The whole team stopped as one man, but Arkwright in particular I don't hold water with that theory I think Charlie George was one of Arsenal's all time great players. A lot of
people might not agree with that, but I personally do They have more ability in the middle of the field in terms of ability It's now 4-3 to Oldham, the goals are going in like dominoes The margin is very marginal And Watford acknowledge the support of the crowd, indeed of the crowd that
supported them At least is was a victory and at least we won And Sheffield Wednesday the winners 2-0, leaving the Anfield crowd brainwashed Despite the rain, it's still raining here at Old Trafford There are still hundreds of question marks to be answered Yes, Woodcock would have scoresd but his shot was just too perfect It slid away from his left boot which was poised with the trigger cocked We have been saying this, both pre season and before the season started But as you know, the result for City is not as bad as it sounds on paper We go into the second half with United 1-0 up, so the game is perfectly balanced Manchester United have go the bull between the horns now I'll never play at Wembley again, unless I play at Wembley again Yes, he is not unused to playing in midfield, but at the same time he's not
used to playing there either The run of the ball is not in our court at the moment Well Terry, can you tell us where you are in the league, how far are you ahead
of the second team? Runners up at Wembley four times, never bride always the bridegrooms, Leicester Halifax against Spurs, the original David against Goliath confrontation That goal surprised most people, least of all myself Well actually we got the winner up there with three minutes to go, but then
they equalised Ian Rush, deadly ten times out of ten, but that wasn't one of them He hit the post, and after the game people will say, well, he hit the post I think you and the referee were in a minority of one, Billy Portsmouth are at Huddersfield, which is always away The red hair of John Brown on the bench there Newport 0, Wrexham 1. Well done the Welsh there This is the one-off occasion and you can't get any bigger occasion than that It was a fair decision, the penalty, even though it was debatable whether it
was inside or outside the box Believe it or not, goals can change a game So often the pendulum contines to swing with the side that has just pulled
themselves out of the hole Numero Eins, as they say in Germany Our fans have been branded with the same brush Ian Rush unleashed his left foot and it hit the back of the net You'll be hoping that this run of injuries will stop earlier than it started Ian Durant has grown both physically and metaphorically in the close season It will be a shame if either side lose, and that applies to both sides At the end of the day, the Arsenal fans demand that we put eleven players on
the pitch Peter Shilton conceded five, you don't get many of those to the dozen It's Great Britain in the all white strip, with the red and blue V, the dark
shorts and dark socks Well Kerry, you're 19 and you're a lot older than a lot of people younger than
yourself United have a very experienced bench which they may want to play to turn the
tide of the match It was a good match, which could have gone either way and very nearly did Oh, he had an eternity to play that ball, but he took too long over it Everything in our favour was against us And so no the fair, long hair of Adrian Heath has been thrown into action I think everyone in the stadium went home happy, except all those people in
Rumania Well, he had two stabs at the cherry Butcher goes forward as Ipswich throw their last trump card into the fire Once again it was Gough who stood firm for Scotland in the air The scoreline didn't really reflect the outcome I can't promise anything but I can promise 100% John Lyall, very much a claret and blue man, from his stocking feet to his
hair Walsall have given City more than one anxious moment amongst many anxious moments Billy Gilbert hit a kamikaze back pass which Justin Fashinu pounced on like
a black Frank Bruno Peter Weir has just shrugged off an ankle injury Mark Ward has only got size 5 boots but he sure packs a hell of a punch with
them McCarthy shakes his head in agreement with the referee Souness' football brain working at a hundred miles an hour there Stevens got to the line, crossed the ball and Linekar wrapped it all up with
his head I'm afraid that Francis this season has been suffering from a panacea of injury Manchester United are looking to Frank Stapleton to pull some magic out of
the fire It really needed the blink of an eyelid, otherwuse you would have missed it We've got nothing to lose, and there's no point losing this game Northern Ireland were in white, which was quite appropriate because three inches
of snow had to be cleared from the pitch before kick off And Bailey comes out to save, immediately there is a whole wasps nest of blue
shirts swarming around him A win tonight is the minimum City must achieve Who ever wins today will win the championship no matter who wins And meade had a hatrick. He scoresd two goals In Scotland football hooliganism has been met by banning alcohol from
grounds but in England this solution has been circumnavigated The boys feet have been up in the clouds since the win Chesterfield 1, Chester 1. Another score draw in the local derby The dice are stacked against them Spurs, one of the in-form teams of the moment with sucessive wins are
almost as impressive as Queens Park Rangers with five. I'm not superstitious or anything like that, but I'll just hope we'll
play our best and put it in the lap of the gods Bryan Robson, well, he does what he does and his future is in the future The whole team stopped as one man, but Arkwright in particular Well clearly Graeme it all went according to plan, what was the plan
exactly ? Wayne Clarke, one of the famous Clarke familiy, and he's one of them,
of course It's a Renaissance, or put more simply, some you win, some you lose I don't blame individuals, Elton, I blame myself Football is a game of skill, we kicked them a bit and they kicked us
a bit Notting Forest are having a bad run, they've lost six matches in a row
now without winning £5.3 million is a large loaf to be throwing away before a ball's
been kicked Players win games and players lose games, it's all about players really His strengths were my weaknesses and my weaknesses were his strengths There is no change in the top six of division 2, except that Leeds have
moved into the top six So that's 1-0, sounds like the score at Boundary Park where of course
its' 2-2 Kicked wide of the goal with such precision I do want to play the long ball and I do not want to play the short ball.
I think long and short balls is what football is all about Interviewer: In your new book, Pat, you've devoted a whole chapter to
Jimmy Greaves You can see how O'Leary is absolutely racked with pain, and realises
it At the end of the day, it's all about what's on the shelf at the end
of the year ...and now the Northern Ireland Manager, Billy Bingham, will have to
put his thinking boots on I am a firm believer that if you score one goal the other team have to
score two to win So it means that, mathematically, Southampton have 58 points If you had to name one particular person to blame it would have to be
one of the players We are really the victims of our own problems Here's Brian Flynn. His official height is five feet five and he doesn't
look much taller than that Mabutt has now played seven consecutive games for England, this is his
seventh I'd have to be superman to do some of the things I'm supposed to have
done, I've been at six different places at six different times That's a question mark everyone's asking Dickie Davies: What's he going to be telling his team at half time Denis Well as for Ian Rush, he's perfectly fit, apart, that is, from his physical
fitness I'm not going to make it a target but it's something to aim for And now International Soccer Special, Manchester United v Southampton Well Ibrox is filling up slowly, but rapidly Hodge scored for Forest after only 22 seconds, totally against the run
of play Queens Park against Forfar, you can't get more romantic than that We are really quite lucky this yeara because Christmas falls on Christmas
Day He put it just where he meant it and it passed the Luxembourg goal post
by 18 inches Ardilies always says "If you're confident you're always totally
different to the player that's lacking confidence" The goals made such a difference to the way this game went Well we got nine and you can't score more than that This is a tremendous assest for the club, a tremendous headache lifted
from our shoulders, really. The only thing Norwich didn't get was the goal that they finally got We could be putting the hammer in Luton's coffin Football's football, if that weren't the case it wouldn't be the game
that it is I predicted in August Celtic would reach the final. On the eve of the
final I stand by that prediction and with 8 minutes left the game could be won or lost in the next 5 or
10 minutes Ian St John: Is he speaking to you yet? It's a game of two teams Wolves Keeper John Burridge has consciously modelled himself on the great
Peter Shilton, same sort of hair style If England had scored in the first half, I think the young legs would
have found younger hearts inside them Systems are made by players rather than players making systems and then there was Johan Cryuff, who at 35 has added a whole new meaning
to Anno Domini I don't really believe in targets, because my next target is to beat
Stoke City And at the end of the season you can only do as well as what you have
done Real possession football, this. And Zico's lost it I can't see us getting beat now, once we get our tails in front They can crumble as easily as ice cream in this heat Don't tell those coming in now the result of that fantastic match. Now
let's have another look at Italy's winning goal A few question marks are being asked in the Honduran defence The acoustics seem to get louder Being given chances, and not taking them. That's what life is all about Wilkins sends an inch perfect pass to no one in particular To me personally, it's nothing personal to me It is a cup final and the one who wins it goes through He's marked his entrance with an error of some momentum Even when you're dead you shouldn't lie down and let yourself be buried But the ball was going all the way, right away, eventually And Ritchie has now scored 11 goals, exactly double the number he scored
last season Quiroga touches it away. Nothing he doesn't do that isn't spectacular Socrates, so named because his father was interested in Greek mythology The Spaniards have been reduced to aiming aimless balls into the box On this 101st FA Cup Final day, there are just two teams left That shot might not have been as good as it might have been And Wigan Athletic are certain to be promoted barring a mathmatical tragedy Again Mariner and Butcher are trying to work the oracle on the near post He hit that one like an arrow Football's all about 90 minutes In fact that's Swindon's first win of any kind in nine matches I felt a lump in my mouth as the ball went in It's always very satidfying to beat Arsenal, as indeed Arsenal would
admit John Bond has brought in a young left sided midfield player, who, I guess,
will play on the left side of midfield Byron Butler: You'd obviously made up your mind to play both Stein and
Walsh? And the second goal was a blue print of the first I'd like to have seen Tony Morely left on as a down and out winger Most of the people who can remember when we were a great club are dead One of Asa's great qualities is not scoring goals Whelan was in the position he was, exactly It feel like winning the cup final, if that's what it feels like The last player to score a hatrick in a cup final was Stan Mortenson.
He even had a final named after him, the Matthews final The only thing I have in common with George Best is that we came from
the same place, play for the same club and were discovered by the same
man Arsenal, with Petrovic anonymous Obviously for Scunthorpe it would be a nice scalp to put Wimbledon on
their bottoms Wallace, moving forward, his red hair always in the action The match has become quite unpredictable, but it still looks as though
Arsenal will win the cup There was a paradox of air in the town when we arrived in Watfor this
afternoon Great goal by Moss, straight into the textbook If you stand still there is only one way to go, and that's backwards Not the first half you might have expected, even though the score might
suggest that it was I don't know if that result's enough to life Birmingham off the bottom
of the table, although it'll certainly take them above Sunderland
