City are euro-losers but I was favourably impressed by them today. With UTD apparently into a Moyes season again and Arsenal starting to blame it on ... Parisian lampposts any time soon, it's CFC against City again.

rout

One of them fell asleep now.

Who 's the one that kicked the air ?

UTD drops another. I wish Sunderland had kept Nacho Scocco.

We have Everton next. Intreresting. They did play Arsenal off the pitch as I saw it but their way of managing the last ten minutes was pitiful.

2-0

Seamus Coleman 1-0

It's going to be 2-1 FT - Courtois two fantastic saves over the bar in the last minute.

There was a secret message behind yesterday's refereeing: earthmen prepare to meet thy doom

Chelsea are going to win by 3 goals to 2. Epic thriller in the last ten minutes with Courtois - hero of Telemark.

Diego Costa no penalty-card decision was crazy.

Do you know that the biggest ever expression of anti-junta sentiment in Greece took place in 1971 ? It was when PAOK Salonika beat Panathinaikos 2-1 in a cup final. History says about the funeral of George Papandreou, then the funeral of nobel laureate George Seferis and the polytechnic. But it was against Panathinaikos, the bird-team. However tables have turned and we now have super-junta of Piraeus (not that they were lagging far behind those days in *ss licking). Every year a presidential decree is signed awarding the championship to Olympiakos Piraeus. The referees come to the matches with strict orders concerning the minute in which they have to award Piraeus a penalty.

Barcelona - after the known story mainly. Olympiakos Piraeus - world's worst clowns - make trip to Greece for six months from wherever you are and then tell me.

The defense was pitiful. Against some useful strikers we might have conceded five. Fabregas is superb and if I was Mourinho I 'd go out and find what churches are nearby and make Diego Costa sing every day in the choir.

Ferencvaros, one of the old glories. Up until 1970 I think they were considered a force to reckon with in European football. Their great star was Florian Albert.

We played two matches in one day ? Extraordinary. Did any players appear in both ?

City were for laughs yesterday in America. They did n't even try though.

Maybe indifference is an excuse for the overall result and the German's third goal was a gift by the referee, but CFC tried to pull one back in the second half and there was no finishing touch whatsoever. Bremen's keeper was needed in the two corner kicks only.

Didier will make it 2-4.

English teams playing friendlies is a joke. I don't mean they should exert themselves in such matches, but it's a joke. I 'm talking about today's and the hyper-soup M. City display yesterday

That sounds like a better test.
