How are the mighty?

With the Old World love of sport it caused no surprise to see your newslines today packed with stories anticipating the evening's game of football.

The coverage rather led us to expect an easy victory for the team from Manchester, England - and how could we resist such challenge?

So a distraction here, an invisible touch there - the end result not so expected after all. A fine evening's entertainment for both godly and ungodly.

Forgive us until tomorrow.
