It's a shame about the final result, but it was a well taken goal by Kidderminster.

Oh and Courtney Pitt was excellent tonight, a well deserved MOM

FT U's 1 (71 mins) Kidderminster 1 (89 mins)

I see Jimmy Quinn is your new manager.

ARSENAL MAKE HISTORY WITH WORLD XI

Arsenal are believed to have made Champions League history when they fielded a team comprised of players from 11 different countries on Wednesday night against Hamburg.


Although the Gunners started the match with two Ivorians, Emmanuel Eboue and Kolo Toure, in their starting line-up, the withdrawal of the crocked Toure after 29 minutes resulted in a - possibly unique - WorldXI team.


Until the introduction of Julio Baptista and Mathieu Flamini as substitutes, the Arsenal team was: Jens Lehmann (Germany); Emmanuel Eboue (Ivory Coast), Johan Djourou (Switzerland), Justin Hoyte (England), William Gallas (France); Tomas Rosicky (Czech Republic), Gilberto (Brazil), Cesc Fabregas (Spain), Alexander Hleb (Belarus); Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo), Robin van Persie (Holland).


While there's no official confirmation as yet from UEFA's statisticians, it is believed that the WorldXI is without precedent in European competition.
