“Before the winter break, the colossal number of draws was beginning to get me down. As we completed the front nine and headed for the turn, the defensive nature of the game had me thinking about the level of quality in the French game, how it may be time to reduce Ligue 1 to eighteen clubs in order to preserve a competitive edge; and looking forward to an easy life of reporting on yet another clutch of goalless draws as all twenty clubs attempted to do their damnedest not to win the title. So what d’you know – round 20 gave us just the one.” In Bed With Maradona
