FA Cup - in the first weekend in January. The Final is played at the end of the season in May. Tottenham Hotspur F.C claim notoriety as the only non-league winners of the FA Cup, in 1901 (they were then playing in the Southern League and were only elected to the Football League in 1908) but at that time the Football League consisted of only two 18-team divisions; their victory would be comparable to a team near the bottom of the first division winning today. The winning team qualifies by right for the first round of the UEFA Cup. If the winners qualify for the Champions League, the losing finalist qualifies for the UEFA Cup. If both finalists qualify for the Champions League, an extra UEFA Cup place is given on the basis of.

Metropolitan Counties of England - government statistics, and are also ceremonial counties. Some functions such as emergency services and public transport are still administered on a metropolitan county wide basis. The metropolitan counties are: Greater Manchester (Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford, Wigan) Merseyside (Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, St. Helen's and Wirral) South Yorkshire (Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham) Tyne and Wear (Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Gateshead, South Tyneside, North Tyneside, Sunderland) West Midlands (Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, Wolverhampton) West Yorkshire (Leeds, Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Wakefield) Notably, legislation still refers to these counties as existing. For example, The North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire (County Boundaries) Order 1991, [1], refers to the county of South Yorkshire in the present tense, and adjusts its bounds. Greater London is sometimes considered a metropolitan county, although it was defined.

Manchester Ship Canal - Manchester Ship Canal The Manchester Ship Canal (MSC), opened in 1894, is a large canal in northern England, which is 36 miles (57 kilometres) long and links the city of Manchester to the Irish Sea. As the name suggests, the MSC is large enough to take ocean-going ships. The MSC is the eighth-longest ship canal in the world, being only slightly shorter than the Panama Canal in Central America. It was built as a way to reverse the economic decline that Manchester suffered during the late 19th century, by ensuring that the city had direct access to the sea to export its manufactured goods, and wouldn't have to rely for sea access on the nearby port city of Liverpool.
