The great escape.: Manchester City was 3-0 down against Tottenham Spurs (and US keeper Kasey Keller) in this fourth round FA Cup tie. Then they had a man sent off. Before half-time. What did they do? "At halftime I walked off and said, "Where's the nearest job center?" [City manager] Keegan said. City came back, one man down, and beat Spurs 4-3, setting up a fifth-round derby with hated rivals Manchester United. Greatest comeback ever? This is why soccer is great. Just wish I coulda seen this. Was anyone there? Watch it on the telly? Fooker, send me a videotape!

WC, FSW is showing it again very early Saturday, so if you want to come down Saturday or Sunday and watch it, I'll get TiVo set up.

Correction: "Tottenham Hotspurs", not Tottenham Spurs. "Spurs" (just Spurs) is their nickname. Apologies to Spurs fans. Did not mean to add insult to injury.
