SPAIN 1-0 ENGLAND
England put up a shabby performance as they slumped to their first defeat in
Spain for 32 years.  Chances were few and far between for
Graham Taylor's men and after starting brightly they seemed unable to put
anything constructive together.  Spain's goal came after 12 minutes when
Gregorio Fonseca took advantage of a lucky deflection to coolly slot past
Chris Woods.  England strived for the equaliser but
were repeatedly frustrated by the tight defence and never looked like scoring.

Vinny Jones has agreed to take a big cut in wages to rejoin Wimbledon from
Chelsea in a #700,000 deal.  Jones helped The Dons shock Liverpool
in the 1988 FA Cup final but then left for spells with Leeds and Sheffield
United before joining Chelsea.  "We are delighted to have someone of
his ability and character. Vinny is very special to this club in more than
one way.  "Vinny is making a major personal financial sacrifice, a very 
substantial loss in wages. That says it all," said Dons chairman Sam Hammam.

Sheffield Wednesday may be foiled in their bid to sign Crystal Palace's Mark
Bright in a #1 million deal.  The 30-year-old striker wants to join
the Owls but Paul Williams, who is due to move in the opposite direction, has
been unable to agree terms with Palace.  "We had a chat to Paul but he couldn't
accept what we were offering," said assistant manager Alan Smith.
Bright has scored 91 goals in six seasons and Wednesday want him to lead
their attack in the absence of England international David Hirst, who is ruled
out through injury.

Newcastle are eyeing #1 million-rated Dutch striker Eric Viscaal, who plays
for Belgian club Ghent.  He impressed assistant manager Terry
McDermott, who had travelled to Belgium to see Swede Kennet Andersson play for
Mechelen in the same match.  

Birmingham's #1m-rated central defender Paul Mardon will be sidelined for three
weeks after damaging ankle ligaments while on trial with Liverpool.

Aston Villa veteran Cyrille Regis is to undergo an achilles tendon operation
next week. He had delayed surgery due to an injury crisis at Villa Park.

UEFA have ruled that Manchester United quartet Ryan Giggs, Denis Irwin, Darren
Ferguson and Clayton Blackmore will not be regarded as 'foreign' for this
season's UEFA Cup competition.

If that's the case then Manchester United wouldn't still be waiting for
their first title since 1967 and Marseille would have won the Champions
Cup by now. You can't simply buy success in football.
Buying the right players helps of course but it isn't everything.

Played on Sunday at Old Trafford:

Manchester United  2 - 0 Leeds
Kanchelkis
Bruce			(half time 2-0)


Man Utd: Schmeikel, Irwin, Bruce, Pallister, Blackmore, Ferguson,
		Ince, Giggs, Kanchelkis, Hughes, McClair

Leeds: Lukic, Newsome(Hodges), Whyte, Fairclough, Dorigo, McAllister, 
	Speed, Wallace(Strachan), Cantona, Chapman


Both of the goals came in the first half. The first was a Kanchelkis
header at the far post from a Giggs left-footed cross from the right.
Giggs broke through the offside trap (Hughes was in fact offside in
the center, but the referee didn't see that), and sent a prefect cross
for Kanchelkis for an easy goal. The second waa corner piece from the 
right. Irwin sent in the ball, which went passed the mistimed Lukic
and bounced off the body of Fairclough for an easy Bruce tap-in. 

Manchester United was in command for most of the game. Wallace
limped off early in the first half, and this markedly weakened the
Leeds offense. Cantona and Chapman were tightly marked. On the
other side, Giggs and Kanchelkis provided many dangerous fast breaks from 
the two sides. Hughes had four scoring chances in the second half, 
of which the most dangerous one was a one-to-one with Lukic after
Speed lost the ball at the top of the penalty area, but he shot the ball
straight into the body of the goalie. McClair and Giggs also had some
good chances. Strachan and Cantona missed the best two chances for Leeds.
The Cantona one was spectacular: an over-the-head kick from a cross
about 15 feet out which dashed to the bottom left corner of the net, only
to be saved by Schmeikel. To sum up, Leeds could have lost by two to three 
goals more had Manchester United had more luck. 

With this win, United climbed to the fourth of the table.

Everyone should realize that the show on SC and the show on Prime are 
completely different formats.

Prime will show one game on tape delay in its entirety.

SCA will show an one or two abbreviated matches, and fill the rest of the show
with highlights of that week in England.

The reason that the full match that Prime shows contains the same teams as
the abbreviated game that SC shows is that that game is the game of the week
in England.  I believe it is the national broadcast to all of England live.
We get it a couple of weeks later.

If anyone has an questions about this please write me.

Don't expect too much - cause these are indeed sad times for the good teams
in the lower divisions. In the last three games Bramming has won only 2 points,
in the previous 3 games period 6 points was brought home. How can they beat
one of the top teams with 4-2 and the loose 0-4 to the absolute last time of
the league (their first win in 19 games ...)?

Is Marconi supposed to be tied to Italians in some way?  I can assure you that
my first thought, when I read the name Marconi, is for the UK company with
that name, which used to be (and maybe still is, I am not sure) a part of 
GEC.  If Marconi were the name of a British club, I would assume that it were
somehow related to the Marconi company, and not in any way related to
Italian immigration.

Well, a lot of Israelis were born in different countries of Europe, Asia, Afri-
ca and America. Although they're Jews, they have different cultural background.
However, I would rather refer to the U.S. and Canada, talking about multicultu-

We can compare either Chris. I understand that the Umbro deal is eleven
million over eleven years. The Rangers Adidas deal is fifteen million over
five years. As for shirt sponsors, the McEwans Lager deal is a million a year.

   Sounds like you know a lot about football, whoever you are... You probably
also believe that Kenny Dalglish is the worlds best manager, or maybe the
trainer from Ac Milan is!!!!!

   To me and a lot of other folks Souness is doing an excellent job, and when
all the injured recover they will be hard to beat. He's made one mistake since
taking over and that was selling Houghton, but he bought James and the Pool
needed him, and Paul Stewart will fit in well after about 10-15 games or so,
and when Thomas, Barnes, McManaman are back then we'll see some excellent
football. He also trying to get rid of that useless git Saunders...  

  If your a Liverpool fan then I suggest you change teams, and maybe start
supporting Man Utd, because Souness will be around for a while if he manages
to stay healthy. Maybe you already support Man Utd???? That would explain your
entry.
