Gazprom are sponsors of Zenit and they are Champions now. Very similar to Chelsea when Abramovitch took over and Chelsea became Champions for fisrt time in 50 years. We say in England 'Money talks!'.

Thanks, i think this is the Stadium. I have found the magazine from the game, it was Torpedo Metallurst v Krylia Sovetov, 17th May 2003. Torpedo Metallurst were 14th place in league, Torpedo Moscow were 1st!!! I have heard many good stories about Eduard Strelsov :-)

Ha, ha, you do have a point there, Misha does like his food :-)
I understand now, Mr.Luzhkov is famous for his leather caps.
The 'asscovers' is a good nickname.
I went to their Stadium in 2002, if i remember correctly it was predominantley green and white and quite small?

Whoops! 'Good friend', not 'Food friend'.

Thanks foe explanation, it makes sense now. Maybe we will play them in a friendly game. I only know one person from this club, he is food friend of Misha's. Why do Torpedo call them 'The Beekeepers'?

It's strange, because MCFC official nickname is also 'The Citizens'. Maybe that's why we have the link?

Zulus and Beekeepers ! :-)

Privet Viktor, our Thai chairman Thaksin Shinawatra has forged links with 3 clubs, FC Moscow, Shanghai Shen Hua from China and Thanda Royal Zulu FC of South Africa. I am not sure why he chose FC Moscow but rest assured that my loyalties will always lie with Torpedo :-)

I will be there at New Year, no problem.
I think that Zenit will be champions purely based on how matches can be fixed etc. I might be wrong, we will see :-)
