@The Voice of Reason Milan did make our list at #2. Manchester and Liverpool both ran London close, though we felt London deserved its place both as a world-class travel destination and the number of top-level clubs scattered around the capital (bear in mind, this article was published in 2010, too, so the soccer landscape in each of the listed cities has changed somewhat in the ensuing years!). Thanks for commenting!

Gary, I did some online sleuthing using Google Earth based on info you gave, and I think the mountain you're looking at is Mount Robie Reid. This 6,873-foot peak lies to the northeast of the Golden Ears cluster of summits and overlooks Stave Lake. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Robie_Reid

Liz, Amazon.com sells a few audio CDs with Italian Christmas music, including Andrea Bocelli's "My Christmas" (http://www.amazon.com/My-Christmas-Andrea-Bocelli/dp/B002L430KK/), an "Italian Christmas" compilation (http://www.amazon.com/Italian-Christmas-CC-Couch/dp/B002UH987C/), and an instrumental version of some of the season's most popular songs in "Christmas in Italy" 9http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Italy-Jerry-Caringi/dp/B0015YTPYM/). Links included above have sample audio files.

Simon, while I agree there's no denying Liverpool and Manchester are legendary footballing towns, London's selection came down to more than numbers and stadium capacities (the article was also written pre Torres' move to Chelsea and when West Ham were still in the Prem). London is also one of the world's great travel destinations, a key focus of the article. And in fairness, not sure you can characterize Arsenal or Chelsea fans as constituting a footballing minority. Thanks for the feedback!
