I’ve played hooker before but I’ve never done it full-time I take my hat

“I’ve played hooker before, but I’ve never done it full-time I take my hat off to James. “I thought our half-backs were great,” said their coach, Brian Noble.”I didn’t think that Iestyn would be as effective yet as he is now. Just in time, Bradford’s parts have come together to form a whole capable of retaining their Super League title. Substitutes used Sice, Miller, McKinney, Jackson.Featherstone McNally, Ford, Zitter, Newlove, Wray, Ripley, Greseque, Tonks, Darley, Dickens, Haughey, Lowe, Blakeway. Substitutes used Stokes, Carlton, Dooler, Hayes.Referee K Kirkpatrick (Warrington).*In the National League 2 play-offs final eliminator, York were too strong for Workington, winning 70-10, thanks in part to a club-record five tries for Mark Cain.. “I’ve been chasing Tiger for five years and now I’m chasing Vijay [Singh]. The game is on, well and truly.” In horrid weather, wet and windy but not quite the tournament-delaying storm that had been predicted, Els beat Thomas Bjorn by a stroke.

Avoiding mistakes appeared impossible in the conditions, but had the South African holed his par putt at the last, he would have been the only player not to have dropped a shot.”I think I showed that I didn’t want to lose today,” Els said. The club are planning to employ another coach with suitable qualifications.”I’m speaking to someone at the moment,” Wigley said “It will be my choice. They definitely will not be above me – there will not be a Director of Football or anything like that.”Unfortunately for the likeable Wigley, there remain other more pressing matters to sort out if he is to retain his tenure.Southampton (4-4-2): Niemi; Nilsson, Lundekvam, Jakobsson, Le Saux (Van Damme, h-t); Fernandes (McCann, 66), Prutton, Delap, Svensson; Beattie (Crouch, 21), Phillips. “The player needs to make an impact with me, not with the crowd,” Mourinho said. Can he improve? “He can but he has to improve when the team needs him.”There was a vivid illustration of this five minutes from the end when Cole failed to track back as Liverpool attacked. Mourinho was apoplectic on the touchline and, afterwards, contrasted Cole’s apparent insouciance with the actions of Paulo Ferreira. “One minute he was a winger,” he said of the full-back, “then he made a 50-yard run to stop an attack.

Concede the corner.” The inference was that it was exactly what Cole should have done also.Mourinho, however, said there was an excuse. “It’s normal for a player like this,” he said, perhaps mindful that Cole is still just 23. The player had appeared to have found a starting role under Mourinho but has not figured in the previous two matches following the return to fitness of Damien Duff who was praised again yesterday by the manager. Cole was introduced as a first-half substitute because of Mourinho’s limited resources in attack, with injuries to three players.”He was very important,” Mourinho said of Cole’s attacking play.

“He gave good dynamic, played really well in terms of the attacking dynamic.” This was capped by his goal – displaying fine technique to steer in Frank Lampard’s free-kick Mourinho did acknowledge the value of Cole’s strikes though. “He has scored two goals for us in the Premiership,” Mourinho said. “Three points at Birmingham, three points today.”Cole was watched here by Sven Goran Eriksson and was included in the England squad which was announced last night. With Wayne Bridge injured, he may offer a solution to England’s problem on the left-side of midfield.
