Meanwhile, at the Cottage they call Craven, Fulham entertain defending champions Shakhtar Donetsk. This game has been overshadowed by the Pitmen (as I prefer to call them) being turfed out of Harrods (officially because the shop was "too busy", unofficially because the Pitmen were wearing tracksuits). The Ukrainian club posted the following on their official website: "The players decided to increase the earnings of one of London's reputable shops - Harrods. The footballers, who have money and are eager to buy a lot, were certain to leave a big sum. You may be surprised but the Pitmen weren't allowed to enter the shop. The staff said that the group of customers was too big and suspicious. All of them were wearing similar tracksuits. The players explained this was the football team and were not in the habit of taking tuxedos to the training camp to go shopping. But those explanations were fruitless."
