the ole gunnar solskjaer express rolls on. a few great saves and blocks and some headers. we defended really well, i think we could have done better defending higher up the pitch. when they put us under pressure, we put everything we had in front of that goal and we deserved the three points, i thought. a lot of disappointment. in the second—half, we showed a lot of other things, more second—half, we showed a lot of otherthings, more desire, quality in our play, playing forward. we started the game with a poor performance, without it was a shame. celtic are now 6 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership — two goals in the last 12 minutes gave them the win over stjohnstone —

7:42 pm
difficult to look past the quarterbacks. they are the two most talk about players within this game. when you look at it, you see two quys when you look at it, you see two guys at a very different points in their career. that will be crucial throughout this game. when the pressure is on, the one thing we all know is that tom brady has been there, he seen it and done it, he has delivered it in that big moment. jared gough, 24 years of age, the same age as tom brady when he won his first super bowl hasn't been there. but he has been very relaxed in the build—up and he is insane lethality. brady is at the back end of his years, 41 now, he says he still has another five years. what inspires him to keep going and playing out in the highest level? the goal is to reach the top and only one team reaches the top top,
7:43 pm
we are pretty close, as are the rams. it's tough, it's a daily grind and a struggle. discipline, mental toughness, determination, all those things are intelligible to an individual, many things you can't measure, in the end, that probably matters more than anything you can measure. playing in this game, you have the two best teams, you fight it out and just one team wins. there are now do overs, no retakes, this is live bullets. we have to go out there and get the job done under pressure. tom brodie is a 41? who will win this one do you think, seth? you are putting me on the spot! my heart is telling me that the rams would be a great win, they area the rams would be a great win, they are a young french side with a young french coach. my head is and tell me that this is going to be a victory for boston, victory for new england,
