‘Play football?’ quavered the Tigers.

‘You’re going to win! What are you going to do?’

‘You miserable worms!’ shouted Mr Bawl from the touchline. ‘I’ve seen better footwork from my uncle’s pet rattlesnake.’

‘Every time I want to go forwards,’ moaned Billy to the others, ‘he calls me back.’

‘I could’ve got the ball off that striker,’ said Terry, ‘if he hadn’t shouted at me.’
