"Thank God they didn't count down (the time)," she said, in reference to the American way of displaying the clock.
Finally, we watched as visiting champions MANCHESTER UNITED defeated SWANSEA CITY, 4-1, thanks to a pair of goals by both Robin Van Persie and Danny Welbeck.
Watching English football on television has been our family's traditional way to spend a Saturday for years, so today felt like a comfortable return.
