First match Liverpool v Chelsea when Torres left, we won 2-0 and Agger smashed Torres in the face?
nope.
In which we learn peterhague is shit at cryptic crosswords.
Eh? I'm actually quite good at them.
As long as the ones with stupid clues don't count eh?
Cryptic crossword clues have rules. Surprisingly strict rules, actually. It's so people have a fair chance of solving what are already fairly obscure plays on words.
Count's clue was basically very good, in fact one of the better ones, but the part about 'a Scot' wouldn't be acceptable as a crossword clue, because it was literally untrue. The whole point of cryptic clues is that they should be literally true but have a hidden meaning on careful reading.
Portsmouth 0 - 1 Liverpool, August 1922
Dick Forshaw scored in the first minute from a deflected free kick. For the remainder of the match Portsmouth were encamped in the Liverpool goal area with their star striker and local docker, Cuthbert Crickleshank, kicking the unfortunate Elisha Scott on multiple occasions, during which the intrepid Ulsterman sustained 3 broken ribs and a dislocated toe - but soldiered on. Much to the amazement of all present, Liverpool's ultra defensive 2-3-5 formation held out for the win - at times, with even wing forward Harry Beadles venturing behind the half way line to assist his defenders.
I win - whats the prize?

Going for Torres 1-0 v Chelsea in 2007 then
No, sorry.
No, sorry.
The Gerrard slip game?
Cracked the most difficult part of the clue...but it isn't that game.
How did you get that from what I wrote?
I remember him running around kicking the ball every chance he could to try and score and it was down south, to no avail
Down south? At anfìeld ...
The team is quite obvious from what I wrote.
Preston?
I thought the clue looked near-impossible as soon as I saw it tbh.
Seems like I was right.
