I agree. An odd psychic moment I had, tho: I said to my wife (who is as footie-oriented as me, and much more knowledgeable: not only knows the club-history of every player but can name any manager too!) as Peter Crouch was brought on just before the end, "Well, he has a knack of scoring soon after coming on as a substitute" ~~ and blow me, he scored after a few seconds with his first touch!

Otherwise, it was, tho, just as Al relates above. Alas.
