FA: All about the Respect

The two captains will wear Respect armbands and the Respect team handshake will take place before kick-off at 1pm.

Pupils from the city's schools Wisewood Juniors, Thorncliffe Juniors and Brinsworth/Whitehill Juniors will have the honour of being Respect flag bearers around the pitch in front of the sell-out crowd at Hillsborough.

The FA's Respect manager Dermot Collins said: "Respect is important to the way in which our national game is played and the vast majority of people involved want the game to be highly competitive and combative, but also fair and decent, creating an enjoyable environment for everyone involved."

The FA launched its Respect programme in August 2008 in a bid to improve standards of behaviour both on and off the pitch.

xcellent decision, probably one of VERY few footballers who will be remembered as leaving the club after scoring the champions league winning goal with his very last kick! Not many get that tag in football!

Drogba confirms Blues departure

T

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.

ne of the many delights of the final few seconds of the season was seeing little Mike Owen with his trackie off and full replica kit on, getting ready to celebrate having contributed NOTHING all season. Would have been on a par with Terry's carry-on in Munich.
