Hate Man Utd

Well the day has arrived for “the biggest game in domestic English football”. This game is the first all English final, which is to be played in Moscow. The match will last until Thursday due to the local time kick off! The English have taken the weather with them as it is currently raining! This of course may help the newly laid grass pitch which is subject to some scrutiny.

As a consequence of the “Rangers Riot” in the centre of Manchester during and after the other recent European Final there will be no public event for the fans to watch the game or even for a timely victory parade through the streets for either set of fans (note: is this still true and would anyone care to comment on this?). Of course the victory parade could be planned for London as this would be the most convenient location for both sets of fans.

For the travelling fans there is the treat of harsh treatment for public drinking / drunkenness. This is apparently so “English yobs” will not spoil Russia’s biggest sporting event since the Moscow Olympics!

The specially commissioned Man Utd kit and the latest design of football boots are said to be a popular line of merchandise with the fans.

Good luck to Chelsea.
