Well, we got to see some quality finishing this afternoon as well - City weren't in action so we went to see one of our local non-league sides instead. They scored six, had another two disallowed, there was a sending off and the mascot gave us a lollipop. Not bad for £6 admission. :p

Who was it out of curiosity Jaffa?
 
It was Bridlington Town, Mark - they've got a couple of former City trainees who 'weren't big enough' so it was nice to see how they are doing.

At a guess, the attendence must have been only about 120, quite the contrast to Old Trafford earlier in the season. Mind, it's a close run thing as to which set of home supporters made the most noise... ;)

Which trainee's where those? I know half the North Ferriby squad are ex-city trainees.
 
Frank Belt - he converted a penalty - and Ashley Allenson. Was Nathan Hotte on our books for a while as well?

And yes, we are North Ferriby's feeder team. Good to see the wonderfully named Brewster Frizzell has a new home. :)

Footballshirtculture.com - "Sheffield Wednesday announced a major new partnership with global sportswear giants PUMA, who will provide the club's playing kit for the next six years.

Having supplied the club's playing kit during the Premier League days of the 1990s, PUMA will once again provide all official Wednesday playing and training wear from this summer right through until 2015.

The partnership sees Sheffield Wednesday resume an excellent relationship with one of the world's leading manufacturers of sports teamwear with design work already underway on Sheffield Wednesday's home kit for the 2009/10 season.

Sheffield Wednesday chairman, Lee Strafford, said: "I am delighted that we have been able to secure a deal with PUMA to supply all official kits and training wear for the next six years.

"Having one of the biggest and best sportswear manufacturers in the world on board with Sheffield Wednesday again marks a partnership of real magnitude and PUMA is a brand we are proud to be associated with.

"Our partnership with the Children's Hospital means that the first Sheffield Wednesday PUMA kits that go on sale will have the hospital's logo emblazoned across them. I think that bringing the brands of the Children's Hospital, PUMA and Sheffield Wednesday Football Club together is something we can all be very excited about."

"PUMA are keen to provide our supporters with the high quality products they deserve. We have listened to fans' feedback and we know the priority is to give supporters the quality of product that they demand."

Richard Callaway, PUMA UK Head of Sport concludes: "As we embark upon a six season Technical Kit partnership with Sheffield Wednesday, we are thrilled to be working with the club. This will give PUMA great exposure within South Yorkshire; and with great Kit and good service we will be an excellent partner for the club.""

Hmm... I can't say I'm all that keen on Puma's current offerings, to be honest. Still, I suppose a six-year deal is none too shoddy and Puma do have a bit of recent history with Wednesday...

A thumbs up for the charity link, too.

I do like some of the Puma stuff and I DON"T like the Lotto stuff we have been getting. So I'm pleased. The charity end is just icing on the cake. I think there is a small chance that some of the profit from the sale of replicas and what not will now be going to the Children's Hospital as well. But don't quote me on that.

Blimey... some news just in - Bridlington Town's managerial team have handed in their resignations! :eek:

Maybe they could get Terry Dolan in, or if they want to take a 1-0 lead and then defend for the rest of the game, Peter Taylor.........
 
Well, Liverpool have laid down a marker in the Champions League with that victory...good to see that Torres & Gerrard were both fit and on form.

EDIT: Currently watching the replay of the Chelsea - Juve match. What a goal for Juve! Incredible assist by Trezeguet!

EDIT2: Chelsea got a deserved victory, but Juve's first goal was by far the best.
 
Oh, and after seeing the highlights I have to make three comments on the Liverpool game (which was on Setanta, so I didn't see it :():

- Torres looks to have fouled the defender on the first goal.

- The handball was not a handball.

- Liverpool would have crushed Real anyway.

I totally agree on all three, and I saw the game. The ref was s***.

You could add: Pepe got an early yellow card for mouthing off at the ref about the goal, but NOT on the second worse tackle of the game (worse was Gerrard who did get a yellow card for sliding in 30 cm behind the ball after a 20 metre takling, hitting Ramos'(?) legs (who luckily jumped up a bit to prevent the foot from being stuck in the ground and quite possibly just snapping off). :rolleyes:

Highlight of the match: The Real fan flying an Everton scarf towards the end of the game... :D
 
For the first time in ages I have successfully recorded a sporting event to watch at a later time and not found out the result in the between time.

I went to the cinema yesterday (have to pre book in mid February and forgot to look at the football schedule) and so had to miss out on watching it totally live. Although I just watched it this morning as if it were live.

Brilliant game. I don't agree it was a foul by Torres for the first goal but definitely agree it was never a penalty.

As much as I have slated Dossena it was good to see him getting a goal. Spearing is making a good progression to the main team.

Shame about Chelsea though :p

I don't think it was an obvious call, mind you - but there was contact, though I think Pepe tried to make the most of it. Perhaps if Pepe had tried to stay on his feet the ref would have called it...

I'm taking the day off to watch the Man United - Inter tie today. I hope this will be half as good as the hype!

Solid 2-0 win for Man Utd. Coming in I had a feeling Vidic would find the goal, and he did within the first five minutes.

Inter had some good chances but Ibrahimovic blew a couple of headers and Adriano nearly made a tough shot but hit the post instead.

Julio Cesar looked like the only player for Inter to show up in this whole series. Could have easily been 4 or 5 goals for Man Utd today if not for some very nice saves.
 
So the last 8 are:

Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Porto & Villarreal

Again dominated by English clubs which can only say good things about the Premier League.

Who's betting they 'totally randomly' draw us against L'Pool :p
