THANK YOU
I missed this game at the stadium that is my loungeroom. Bought a plasma TV for two World Cups ago. Watch the Premier League Highlights every Monday night during the season. Saw Man U -v- Chelsea in a backyard pub in Tanzania. Saw Wigan win the FA Cup a few weeks back...ecstacy for me as they are my team being the inspirational underdogs for the last 8 years...sadness they were relegated...hope Martinez stays but won't hold my breath. But missed Chelsea -v- Benfica in the Europa Cup Final...only saw Ivanovic's winner on the News. Thanks for reporting the game and for the tour of the grounds...not every day you tour the grounds. Definitely a soccer tragic's tour...but what the heck...someone's gotta do it!
