looking next
At the moment, I'm looking at being here next season.
demand manager next public seem
I would like to think the next manager is English. And the public seem to demand that at the moment.
beginning close deal next week
The deal with Jussi is very close now. I would have thought it will be done by the back end of this week or the beginning of next at the latest.
doubt finished next
I have no doubt El Hadji Diouf will be here next season. But he is finished for this one.
achieving certainly cup effort far feat knocking next possibly waste
You don't want to waste knocking the cup holders out, certainly not in the next round. We put so much effort into achieving that feat and want to go as far as we possibly can in the competition.
foolish interest name number players
There are a number of players that interest us and it would be foolish to name our targets.
good season
We would feel we haven't had a good season whatsoever.
chance chances difficult fancy goal major nick result storm weather win
We had a chance to win it at the end and 1-0 would have been a major result for us. As it is, it is going to be very difficult for us. If we can nick a goal I would fancy our chances but we will have to weather the storm for 15 to 20 minutes, as they did tonight.
advantage attempts chances ended example goal happens losing perfect three
This was perfect example of what happens when you do not take advantage of the chances you create. We had 17 attempts on goal to their three yet ended up losing the game.
best difficult tried
Everyone tried their best to get that all-important 1-0. It's going to be very difficult now, but we've got a chance.
minute space tonight within
Within the space of one minute tonight we could have been 1-0 down,
great
One-nil would have been a great result, but we're not out of it.

I was at the game, but he never rang me.
basis given opportunity regular sure
I am sure he is very disappointed but it does give him an opportunity to play for us on a more regular basis given that we will be down on numbers.
