Football

Last Friday I went to watch Sheffield United play Crewe. It was student night so the ticket was only 5 pounds and we had great seats, about three rows back to the right side of the goal in the Sheffield end. It was a great experience although the game was kinda rubbish and ended up 0-0. I've got some pictures from the game which I hope to post in the next couple days. I'm also thinking about commenting on British sports, their fans and what is says about their culture. Let me tell you there's not much like having thousands of people all singing in unison at the top of their lungs. I think it also begs a lot of questions about how we do church and why sports appeals to so many people in such passionate ways. Anyways that's just a little preview of what you might see here over the next week or so.
