DOUBLE AMBITIONSeven days after winning the league, Manchester City’s women will aim for the double in the FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup final against Birmingham on Sunday. WEIRDEST START TIMEThe British UFC middleweight world champion, Michael Bisping, makes the first defence of his title against Dan Henderson late on Saturday night. So late that it will be 3am on Sunday by the time they lock horns to accommodate American pay-per-view television. Saturday’s World Cup qualifier looked like a gift of a Wembley debut for Sam Allardyce. It was Alan Mullery’s only match as captain, with Bobby Moore suspended from football by West Ham for drinking in Blackpool the night before an FA Cup match.
