    Actually, it's date. Not day. Otherwise we'd have played on a Thursday [sorry about the pedantry, but it pays to be reasonably accurate]. In those days the FA Cup Final had pride of place. Saturday 3pm, all on it's own. Did I notice that the Copa Del Rey Final was played on a Wednesday night, last month..? Where the Spanish lead...

    Well, I just can't decide. Is this Anorak Corner or Pedants Corner? A bit of both, perhaps?:)

    It's probably old fashioned PC corner. I wrote my pedantry with a big silver box next to me running Windows XP Pro. :)

    Think the Copa del Rey has always been played on a Wednesday?

    It is always wise not to die on a day where you are overshadowed by events. Bet a few well known people died on 9/11 without any media coverage.

    It was the first time I had ever been taken to a football match, the first time I ever saw saints play. Not a bad introduction to football for a wee 5 year old. Happy days.

    David Angell, one of the creators of Frasier, was in one of the planes in 9/11.
