     Hans gyldne periode endte i en skuffende kamp mod Tottenham, hvor computeren forærede sig selv et straffespark i overtiden, og det endte 2 – 2. » Straffe, min bare røv,« skreg James og sparkede til sofabordet, kylede controlleren til side og slukkede hidsigt for konsollen.

     His golden streak ended in a disappointing match against Tottenham, where the computer gave itself a penalty kick in extra time, and it ended 2 - 2. "Penalty kick my ass" James screamed and kicked the sofa table, threw the controller to the side and hot-temperedly turned off the console.
