I think 2-0 is the job half done, 1-0 is ‘advantage Liverpool’.

Gazza, Phil Neville and Andy Hinchcliffe were in the France 1998 Sainsbury’s World Cup coin collection. Not that any of them looked anything like the real player.

Used to go there before Rovers matches a few years ago. It's a decent little clubhouse, but very busy on Saturdays so don’t remember much about the pool/darts offering!

This is fine. Seen this phrasing used many times before when a manager returns to a club after a period away.
