Ray Stubbs: "Well Glenn, how do you fancy our chances against Argentina?"

Glenn Hoddle: "I don't fancy them at all, to be honest Ray."

Ray: "What?"

Glenn: "We haven't a hope in hell, to be honest Ray." Ray: "Because of Batistuta?"

Glenn: "Nope."

Ray: "Ortega?"

Glenn: "Nope."

Ray: "Veron?"

Glenn: "Nope."

Ray: "Why are you so pessimistic then?"

Glenn: "Because bloody ITV have EXCLUSIVE live coverage of the game and you know how we do when that happens."

Ray: "Oh bloody hell yeah."

Glenn: "I've packed me bags already."

Bob and Bobby - Germany v Mexico

Bob Wilson: "Bobby, the Germans really haven't looked convincing so far, in fact some would argue that this is the weakest team they have had in the World Cup for many years and that they are over the hill. Andy Moeller seems out of sorts, Klinsmann clearly doesn't have much pace anymore, Olaf Thon has been less than convincing as sweeper and now they've had to bring back that old wrinkly Matthaus to give them a bit of bite. What do you make of the Germans and do you fancy Mexico to beat them? Bobby Robson: "Well . . ."

Bob: "Thanks for that Bobby, time for a break."

(Bobby: "Why am I here?")

Martin and Alan - Holland V Yugoslavia

Des Lynam: "So Martin, who are you going for?"

Martin: "Oh without any question Des, Holland - they'll win it easy."

Des: "Alan?"

Alan: "I agree with Martin, Des - I cannae see them being beat."

Des: "Thanks for that gentleman . . ."

Martin: "Excuse me Des? Can I change my mind please - I'm going for Yugoslavia now."

Des: "Why?"

Martin: "Because I'd rather manage Everton than agree with Hansen."

Des: "Oooh, you dislike him THAT much?"

Martin: "Yes Des, that much."
