in't ground breaking stuff. Froma bluffers guide....

Game preparation
If you arrive at your seat slightly earlier you will witness two sights for which it is important to be prepared. The first is the players of your team warming up. This will involve them passing the ball to each other, shooting the ball into the net from 30 yards out, and running together in a co-ordinated and organised manner. None of these things will happen during the match.

Routine miss

Set pieces are pre-prepared routines that sides employ when they have control of the game at a free kick. They will have been practised on the training ground to the point where every single player knows his role in the plan off by heart. They will then be re-enacted in the match after a substitute has come on who missed training that morning, and who will accidentally block his team-mate's final shot at goal.

Fickle fans
You must accept that football supporters are fickle creatures. If a player who has been having an awful game and attracting the condemnation of his fans suddenly scores the winning goal, he will instantly become the best player in the world and his name will be chanted in glowing terms for the rest of the match.
