I like the part where the Yak steels his hat. Great TV

Very interesting.

How useful is Prozone?In the heat of a match do players remember all these details? Also how accurate are it's predictions? Because Yak does something when paired with Vassell against one set of defenders how likely is he to do it when paired with Kamara against a different set?

Brian Clough apparently used to drum one thing in his players heads - "Give the ball to John Robertson."
According to Kevin Keegan Bill Shankley used to simply tell his players that his opponents were useless, over-the-hill etc.
