BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE DESPICABLE:

Roman riot as United fall in Italy (Daily Mail, 4th April 2007)

Fears of a possible outbreak of violence in tonight's Champions League quarter-final first leg between Manchester United and Roma were painfully realised in the Stadio Olimpico.

Prior to the encounter in the Italian capital, five United supporters were hurt during clashes with home fans in the vicinity of the stadium.

You sure that's not the outfield seats at Yankee Stadium with the Sawx in town in the early '80s?

The beautiful part takes place on the field, not, alas, in the stands.

I'm going home now in fact to watch the dvr of the match. United in prime position, despite the 2-1 loss, to go through to the semi-finals with a win at Old Trafford in next week.

I give the guy a 8.5 for focus, a 7.0 for poise and 7.5 overall (due to low degree of difficulty).
