David Batty a pounds 2

David Batty, a pounds 2.7m England international, has no such excuses, and should have done better than shovel the ball weakly at Thorstvedt after Kevin Gallacher had picked him out with a nicely flighted cross.Thorstvedt was busier than Mimms, his one-time understudy, and made an important save from Gallacher at close range when Rovers were rampant.Mimms responded by tipping over Dozzell's powerful drive from the edge of the area, but the keeper was powerless when Barmby's pass from the left set up Campbell, who scored with a low shot from 15 yards.Tottenham Hotspur: (4-1-2-1-2) Thorstvedt; Kerslake (Austin, 77), Calderwood, Sedgley, Edinburgh; Samways; Anderton, Caskey; Dozzell; Campbell, Barmby. A penalty seemed justified but the referee disagreed.Southampton's attitude to their situation was to remain defensive and counter-attack only when Spurs were fully committed. Anyone familiar with chaos theory will appreciate that a small event in one corner of the globe is liable to start a chain reaction that creates a catastrophe in another.The small event was Finland's loss of the Soviet export market. Turnover, at pounds 35m, was up by pounds 1.2m but profits before tax fell by 74 per cent to pounds 585,000 in the half- year to 29 August.

The most likely alliance is still a link-up of Fine Gael and Labour with the Progressive Democrats, which holds new-right economic views but has a liberal approach to social issues. When money unexpectedly arrived from the publication of This Sporting Life, I went straight out and spent it on a white 2.4 Jaguar which was parked round the back of the pub that very evening.Our meeting had been organised by the film director Karel Reisz, who'd originally been asked to direct This Sporting Life. 'There is no trouble in Luxor, only in Asyut and Aswan, and the police are dealing with these people who do not represent Egypt,' Mr Hussein replied at once. This was bound to happen, but it would be a shame if the eagerness to get the backlash underway stopped their excellent album getting the respect it deserves. THE other day, while hotels were still tumbling into the sea near Scarborough, I wrote a piece in which I mused philosophically about the continuing erosion of England's shoreline Well, I didn't exactly muse philosophically In fact, I didn't muse at all. Without it there will soon be nothing to talk about - beyond the disposition of the refugees whom the Government will not admit to Britain.. The fact that his own military and police bosses practise voodoo as much, if not more, than the next man, Mr Garrison apparently considers irrelevant.

Earlier this season supporters forced the Manchester City chairman Peter Swales to abdicate and last week a group of them appear to have been almost totally responsible for the departure of the Southampton manager Ian Branfoot on whose back they had been since the day he was appointed.Perhaps fan power will improve the game. It may come tomorrow - or today,' said one Palestinian militant. In the streets near the town's religious sites, around the Tomb of the Patriarchs, holy both to Jews and to Muslims, and on the hills where King David established his first throne, there is only one law: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.In Kiryat Arba, the mayor, Zvi Katzover, says: 'There is not one Jew or one Arab here who believes real peace can come to this area.'At first sight Hebron seems just another shabby West Bank town, where 150,000 Palestinians endure the daily humiliations of Israeli occupation and the presence of 5,000 Jewish settlers. In 1947, for example, fresh fruit and vegetables were included for the first time, while 1952 saw the arrival of iron bedsteads and insurance for motorcycles - one of the main forms of private transport.Arrivals since then have included sherry, electric cookers and fridges (1962), wine and yoghurt (1970s), continental quilts (1979), CD players (1987), condoms (1989), tumble driers (1990) and computer games (1993).Recent departures include jam doughnuts, LP records and monochrome televisions.. Two bandages criss-crossed his face where blood flowed from a tube in his nostrils.
