In an (apparently) thrilling tie, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 4-3 on a Michael Owen goal five minutes into second-half stoppage time. City equalized three times through the course of the match, including a Craig Bellamy strike in the 90th minute to tie it at 3, but United had the last laugh. Match report here, minute-by-minute report here.
Also, I'm sitting on this page reloading frantically and praying that Spurs win against Chelsea.

If you had broadband you could have just watched the game online for free, Boredom.

How not to catch a fly ball.
That would be the Cubs for you. Can someone please tell me why I'm a fan of that effing team? Thanks.

Near the end of the Spurs debacle, Sebastien Bassong hit his head on the turf as hard as I've ever seen a soccer player hit. He looked unconscious, and then when he started to sit up, he fell over onto one arm. To give you an idea of how scary it looked, a teammate checked his pulse.

I have that link bookmarked for future reference, Mr Bismarck. Many thanks, although I might be glad I didn't see this one. Ech.

A line from an article in the Daily Mail about Twitter celebrity impersonation includes this line, "Twitter has decided to act after Tony La Russa, the coach of an obscure American baseball team, launched a legal action over a fake account."
Obscure American baseball team?

That's a triple redundancy for most Daily Mail Readers.

Drogba is money. Easily the greatest striker in the world right now. Ancelotti has them in line. It all looks very good for them.
It's too bad "Fergiopoli" still exists in The Premiership. Cheating is the only thing that can hold Chelsea back now.

After this weekend's semi finals, the AFL Grand Final will be played out next Saturday between St Kilda and Geelong.
St Kilda have only won one flag in their 112 year history - back in 1966.
