Let's look at it lots of funny old ways.

If you were to edit out the goals...

show the 82 85 minutes of non-scoring football You'd be hard-pushed to work out which side was going to win You sat somebody down and said we've taken out the goals.

You just get to see the game Who do you think?

After the final whistle, who do you think won?

There'd be an argument

I think anybody would say, if anybody did win it, they shaded it.

2-1.

1-0.

Was it a 3-2?

Nah.

Plenty of people would have gone 1-0.

But it was 6-1.

It's going to be one of the mysteries that we'll take to the grave, each and every one of us.

You, me...

All the 18,000, 19,000, probably more, die-hard Pompey fans in Portsmouth, around Portsmouth, across the UK, in oh-so-many various countries.

Pompey Sound is listened to by an awful lot of people in the United States of America and in various other countries that would surprise you a little bit.

Japan, not the Soviet Union nowadays, Russia, of course.

But my point is, all of us who have seen this game, and I don't think you'll get this from the highlights, because when they show the highlights, when you see the highlights on YouTube, you will see just seven goals.

because they only have time for about nine minutes, don't they, when they cut it down to highlights.
