Benni McCarthy takes no prisoners as Sunderland are left fit to drop
A new year, but the same old story for Sunderland. Roy Keane’s team dropped into the Barclays Premier League relegation zone last night thanks to a combination of Wigan Athletic’s draw away to Liverpool and their inability to perform away from Wearside. A seventh successive defeat on the road means that Sunderland have taken only two away points all season and have yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. "It’s not nice, but I’ve said that the priority for us is not to be there come May," Keane said. "We had a chance to get further away from it tonight, and these opportunities keep slipping us by. Our home form is keeping us in touch." They could count themselves unlucky at Ewood Park, although a less charitable view would be that they shot themselves in the foot — twice.
Euro dream over as Scots are beaten but unbowed
Police reported 12 arrests in Glasgow following the game, but match commander Chief Superintendent Robin Howe said: "I'd like to commend both sets of fans for their excellent behaviour." In Dundee, where the city centre pubs had been packed since lunchtime, Frank Henry, a 23-year-old gas engineer from Dundee, said: "I am devastated. You can't fault the performance. The team were brilliant and they made the world champions look ordinary." Bar manager Steven Carr said he was "heartbroken" at Scotland's last-minute defeat. "At 90 minutes I was looking forward already to the Ukraine-France game, hoping the result would go the right way. I was also looking forward to going to Austria and Switzerland next year, but it is not to be." Italian fans, walking through Edinburgh's Grassmarket, showed great diplomacy.
Keep Unborn Baby Healthy: Dos and Don'ts
Although there is no way to guarantee that your baby will be born 100 percent healthy, expecting mothers can take certain steps to reduce the risk of some physical and intellectual abnormalities.
