Saturday 18th November: The much anticipated clash between Sheffield United and Manchester Utd. My first LIVE Premier League game! Only 20 minutes walk from home - the joy!
Bramall Lane Stadium - Home to Sheffield United Football Club - The Blades!
Manchester United warm-up. Rooney, Scholes, Ferdinand, Ronaldo, Giggs, Neville all in attendance.
The Girls (Anna, Tatiana, Gina) and I all went to see Sheffield United play Man U along with 32,000 other people in the freezing cold.
Manchester attack the Sheffield goal. Sheffield goalie (Paddy I learnt from the guy behind me) saved some amazing attempts!
Sheffield take a penalty as their best player Kazim goes off.
Biffo as Manchester levels the score 1 all. Half a dozen police mill on the stairs after one Manchester United fan celebrates and is punched in the face. One man arrested, the other led to a Manchester friendly area. After the match we walk past mounted police, and police with riot helmets surrounding a 30 strong group of chanting Sheffield supporters.
Sheffield celebrates the first goal of the match! Final result: Sheffield 1-2 Manchester. Sheffield was robbed! I must go again - maybe Sheffield v Aston Villa 5 pounds from the Student Union!
