Chelsea 3 - 1 Manchester City 1 highlights

1
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.

Steven Gerrard - London Times article

0
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. It is obvious that his preferred role is central midfield, but with both Liverpool and England he has ended up wide left, wide right, and an advanced midfield role, almost as a forward.

Silvestre to Arsenal is better than a move to City...

1
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. In ideal world, Silvestre would have moved back to play in France or some other overseas destination, somewhere out of harm's way. Click to continue reading...
