Think he was wanting us to win from the start, he was winding Phil Thompson up a little by cheering loudly when Barnsley scored and only quietly when Liverpool did. Matt couldn't believe Barnsley were holding on let alone ended up winning.
Wonder if this had anything to do with it? from Brian Howard profile on FA site: http://www.thefa.com/England/U20s/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2003/07 Most skilfull player(s) you've played with? Matt Le Tissier and Gianfranco Zola.
