This was apparently [considered a lucky omen](http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/7109058.stm) for Croatia as they beat England in the Euro qualifiers: > Croatia rose to the occasion in their crucial Euro 2008 defeat of England – after an apparent X-rated gaffe by an English opera singer at Wembley. > > Tony Henry belted out a version of the Croat …
What a match! What an atmosphere! What fighting spirit from both teams! What a sore throat I’m going to get from all that shouting! The match began with Arsenal energy and Man U trying to contain them. After some missed shots from both sides, Wayne Rooney drew first blood towards half time. I felt Manuel …
After having many friends on Facebook who are also football-crazy, it was inevitable that over the weekend, my Status Updates bar would end up looking like this:
Just cleared my snail mail after being away for a week. I am happy to announce that I am now officially on the waiting list for an Arsenal season ticket. By the time I do get it, hopefully I will be in a position to watch a few matches in London at my own leisure.

If he wants to prove he’s still number one, he should show it through his superior driving skills and not by doing nasty things like spreading conspiracy theories that his British constructor (McLaren) is biased in favour of a British …
This has to be the one of the funniest BBC sports reports I’ve ever read. I didn’t catch the match but the moment I heard that Venus trounced Maria, I had to find out how it happened. Turns out the two ladies were shrieking away and driving the audience bonkers: I’ll try to give you …

Firstly, I’m not watching the game. My health is again deteriorating and I need more sleep. Secondly, I think AC Milan will win this time, provided they don’t reach penalty shootouts. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve got the BBC page refreshing on my laptop and when I wake up, I will know the score. …
