Ah, it's great to put that bit in brackets, just like the old days when editors presumably thought the readers would say - hey, they've put 7, I bet it's supposed to be 1, it's a typo, how can I check? There was no way to check if you were reading it abroad in some foreign land faraway on a Sunday.. unless you rang your Mum.. who would want to know what was wrong..

Tonight we're playing Yeovil in Somerset, I'm not going, I'll be at the Torquay & Exeter games.
We have Randall, a 19-year-old Arsenal player in tonight's team:
Bywater
Connolly
McEveley
Barker
Addison
Randall
Croft
Savage
Pearson
Teale
Varney
Subs:
Deeney
Davies
Moxey
Pringle
Buxton
Beardsley
Barnes

It's nil-nil at half-time. Come on, Nigel, let's 'ave a goal or two. Yeovil are only League One, start with Tranmere at home on 8th August, then it's off to Norwich, whom we relegated with 6 points.
Without those 6, we would have been relegated with 48 points, Norwich, with 52 could be playing Peterborough on August 8th.. All is not yet ready for the season of dreams Nigel.

2nd half Bywater saves a penalty guessing right, to his right.

After an hour, Buxton & Moxey came on for Barker & McEveley, who gave away the peno.

Then Davies came on for Teale, Pringle on for Savage, and Steven Davies scored twice, once from the penalty spot, sending the keeper the wrong way, then a power header from Pringle's cross 73 & 79 minutes. Meanwhile Barnsey had come on for Croft, and finally Beardsley for Connolly for the last couple of minutes. Job done, and down the M5 & the A38 to the seaside.

It's raining.
