This from the BBC...

Sheffield United 2 Man City 1
Man City's travelling band of fans may have unwittingly had a hand in Shelton's opener.
A clutch of balloons littered City's goalmouth and when Martin, on loan from Manchester United, crossed to Shelton, the ball momentarily got lost among them, leaving defender Ball bamboozled.
Shelton managed to keep his eye on the ball and stabbed it home to pumped fists of praise from under-pressure manager Bryan Robson.
The balloons were quickly burst, and City pressed forward in search of the equaliser.

Guess what I'm buying on the way to work in the morning!
