I don't think Hoddle did either. He just wanted to have his name associated with the hyperbole right from the start.<br />Thing is, a better keeper than Almunia would've stood up and caught that shot. And instead of cooing about how "perfectly" he struck the shot, Andy Gray would've been saying something along the lines of "The kid's got to learn that you don't score goals in this league hitting the ball at that speed."<br />And Rose might still have come off at half-time, giving the whole thing a rather more ignominious sheen. But that's football.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170574944537866579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-11162322382379294472010-04-16T14:45:48.036+01:002010-04-16T14:45:48.036+01:00What I particularly like is there's one bloke ...What I particularly like is there's one bloke standing quite close to the guy with the phone who gets what's about to happen a fraction of a second before everyone else. If you listen carefully you can hear an 'oh' while the ball is in mid-flight as he realises it might go in.Steve Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823945072463797169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-3982644023912937152010-04-16T12:01:47.692+01:002010-04-16T12:01:47.692+01:00Not a footie fan, but I'd just like to complim...Not a footie fan, but I'd just like to compliment you for a wonderful piece of writing there.<br /><br />The myth and experience bit at the end is a brilliant line.
