I was sent to bed early the night Michael Thomas scored "that goal"

And really for me, ever since then, despite my best friend supporting Arsenal, I've always had a soft spot for them, as they've been up against it, especially in the last decade. I hate Man Utd with a passion.

I don't hate Chelsea as much, but they have such advantages, it's distorting everything. I do admire Abromavich though, as he could quite easily have ended up like Kordisavsky (or whatever his name was) the other Oligarch who was the richest man in Russia who tried to enter politics and ended in prison and spending his time in Siberia. We all know Abromovich got his wealth on the luck of privitisation of Russian oil industry. My hat goes out to they guy. I think, considering the risks he has faced, he has done an unbelievable job of becoming one of the richest men in the world given he was born into poverty.
