It's only a game

I went to a football match on Monday to see Preston North End play Southampton. Not unusual but, as I have now reached the ripe old age of 65, it was the first time I had paid the senior citizen rate of £13.00. It was well worth the money.
The first half was awful and we should have ended up at least three goals down. Thanks to a remarkable goalkeeping display by Andrew Lonergan and a gaol in the last minute of the first half we actually went in 1-0 in the lead.
The second half started with Southampton doing most of the attacking which resulted in a goal for the visitors. Our manager soon made a substitution bringing on Patrick Agyemang who tore into the opposition and laid on a pass to David Nugent who scored a wonder goal to take us into the lead. An own goal for the visitors late in the half sealed the points and we returned home happy but wondering how we managed to win the game
