It's true in football that you can only play as well as the opposition let you and if Spurs were as bad as people thought, then a lot of that has to go down to the fact that we never let them play.

 SI.com - Soccer - Henry, Beattie are opposites united by goals - Wednesday May 14, 2003 05:36 PM
Posted: Wednesday May 14, 2003 5:36 PM LONDON (Reuters) -- Arsenal's Thierry Henry and James Beattie of Southampton could not be more different in their approach to the striker's art, but when it comes to the bottom line -- putting the ball in the net -- they are united by their prowess.
Beattie also possesses the priceless striker's knack of being in the right place at the right time and has the sort of determined, physical approach that can unsettle even the best defenders.
Beattie was looking frustrated and out of sorts until breaking his duck with the winner against Aston Villa and then banging in a hat-trick to beat Fulham within six days in October.

It seemed to have got to the point where the only thing that would get James Beattie into the England squad was an outbreak of bubonic plague on the training ground, taking out not only every single one of Sven-Goran Eriksson's forwards but also another dozen who had just turned up to say hello.
