Chelsea 3 - 1 Manchester City 1 highlights

What started out so promising with a goal from new signing Robinho, ended so negatively for Manchester City as Chelsea came back and scored 3 goals for the win in the City of Manchester Stadium. It definitely was the battle of the newly rich vs the club formally known as the newly rich, and should be the first of many interesting encounters over the next few seasons if Man City continue to splash the cash on the big names.

Sheikh Your Money Maker

I'm back in Germany after a week of fun and, err, rain in Ireland, and I'm looking forward to the resumption of the Bundesliga. Here's one big reason.

Steven Gerrard - London Times article

The London Times has done a great article that goes in depth with Steven Gerrard about the inconsistency throughout his career in terms of the positions that he has played.

Silvestre moving to Arsenal has to be a better alternative than moving to Man City, because it's bad enough having Mark Hughes at Eastlands without adding to the numbers of ex-reds at the City of Manchester Stadium.
