Zenit St Petersburg
2008 UEFA Cup champions: Zenit St Petersburg


Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg has won the UEFA cup in a largely one-sided final against Glasgow Rangers at the City of Manchester Stadium overnight.

The Scottish giants were able to hold on despite the Russians dominating the first-half with onslaught after onslaught but the pressure became too much in the second half and the Russian's class began to shine through.




It took until the 72nd minute for Zenit to make the breakthrough - striker Andrei Arshavin played a neat one-two with Igor Denisov who rushed into the box to slot the ball past the helpless Neil Alexander for the opener.

With a quarter of an left, Rangers piled forward in search of a dramatic equaliser but to no avail as Zenit held firm at the back and managed to take full advantage of the exposed Rangers' defence for Konstatin Zurianov to score his side's second goal of the evening.


Congratulations go to both teams with Zenit deserviing winners of the competition and the galant effort Rangers put up not just in the final, but throughout the long journey to Manchester which encompassed some 18 European games.

Arsenal home kit 2009


Both Arsenal's home and away kits have expired this month with new kits due for the upcoming season and possibly to 2010.

While the Gunners have remained tight lipped on when the new kits will be unveiled, several images of what appears to be the new kits have been circulating around the internet for a few months now.

Arsenal away kit 2009


According to several sources, these are the two new home and away kits for the upcoming season. The home kit remains similar in design and colour to the 2007/08 version, the V-neck collar makes a return while the red part of the shirt has been extended to the underarm section of the sleeves. The home kit also features white and claret colours.

The new away shirt is a lot different from the 'Chapman' away kit of 07/08 and is finished in yellow for the first since the 'Sega' sponsored kit of the 90s. Featuring a blue round collar and sleeves with a claret stripe running from the collar bone and down the shoulder blades to the end of the sleeves, the new away kit looks quite good if these images prove correct.

Chelsea Home Shirt 2008/09 Champions League Final Embroidery


With the richest club owner in world football, Chelsea hardly needs the revenue from merchandise sales so it is safe to assume that the special edition Chelsea Home Shirt 2008/09 with Champions League Final Embroidery is for commemorative purposes only.

Afterall, reaching the final of Europe's elite club competition is a cause for celebration in itself and having reached the final for the first time in the club's history, you can forgive them for getting a little carried away.

As you are probably aware, this special edition shirt is based on the new kit design for the forthcoming English Premier League season 2008/09 with the only difference from the standard shirt being the the orange embroidery on the player's right chest which says "FINAL MOSCOW 2008 - 21st May LUZHNIKI STADIUM Manchester United v Chelsea".

Priced at £49.99, it is exactly £10 more than the shirt without the embroidery - perhaps Chelsea needs the money afterall?

But what if Manchester United end up clinching a Premier League and Champions League double? Chelsea fans will be rewarded with an extra £10 out of pocket and bittersweet memories.
