A few years ago a film starring Sarah Michelle Gellar called The Grudge came out. I won't lie, that
film scared the shit outta me. There's a part when this little Japanese woman/ghost crawls out from
under the duvet and it petrified me. I couldn't sleep for days.
Why are you mentioning The Grudge I hear you ask?

Having been linked with Manchester United and Real Madrid earlier this year, Inter Milan's right
back Maicon has now found himself linked with none other than Manchester City. His agent, Antonio
Caliendo, has quashed these rumors, suggesting that City is too small of a club for Maicon.
"Every day there's a story linking Maicon to a different club," said Caliendo.

Hull club officials had plenty of patience with boss Phil Brown over the last
year or so, even though the Tigers kept underachieving, but they have finally decided to sack him
if the team remain in the relegation zone after the next two rounds. Those of you who were
insightful enough to place a bet on Brown to win the Premiership sack race are
probably in for a nice betting bonus, while those of you thinking about doing that now should know
the betting is suspended.

It was meant to be the night when Gareth Barry showed Aston Villa just how much they are missing
him.
But instead it was Richard Dunne, cast aside by Manchester City almost as an afterthought after
Barry's arrival at the City of Manchester Stadium, who proved how strong a character Martin O'Neill
has gained.

Arsenalians 29 September @ 06:01 AM EST
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal's Brazilian midfielder, Denilson, will be out of action
for two months as he has a 'small fracture in his back'. Denilson, who scored the opening goal of
Arsenal's Premier League campaign this season, played his last match at the City of Manchester
Stadium, will be out until the end of November.

Consider this. If it hadn't been for Paul Dickov's late, late goal for Manchester City in the
Division Two play-off final against Gillingham in 1999, City may have stayed where they are and
Gillingham might have risen to the Premier League and been bought out by quadrillionaires from the
Middle East.

The Real Culprit
From the Guardian: Arsène Wenger has told Mark Hughes that he is the only man who believes in
Emmanuel Adebayor's innocence, as he laid into the Manchester City striker for the challenge that
left Robin van Persie dazed and bloodied at Eastlands on Saturday.
Hi, I'm Mark Hughes.

I had to laugh this past weekend when the commentator described the City of Manchester Stadium
as a "cauldron." To me, it's a bowl. A bowl that removes the crowd from the game. Instead, a better
analogy of a cauldron would be a particular stadium in Istanbul for tonight's must-watch match
between Besiktas and Manchester United.

Why not give them a taste of their own medicine!
Brazilian striker Robinho is unhappy with life at Manchester City according to a report
in Spanish publication Sport.
It is reported that Robinho told journalists in Brazil that he is deeply dissatisfied with his
current time in the Premier League.

One wonders how it got there.
I mean, you've seen the things before, usually chucked en masse in old, grainy videos from town
squares across continental Europe whenever the English national team passed through. But you know
where they've been culled from; probably from under the patio table of a nice Dutch family on
holiday who vacated mere seconds before to a nearby telephone booth, wondering why they didn't
spend a bit more to visit New York instead.

Arsenal's trip to Manchester City on Saturday was always likely to be a potential tinderbox.
City are the arrivistes, the newly-minted money and Arsenal are the team whose Champions League
place they are most likely to take. All of this if without taking Emmanuel Adebayor into account.
Adebayor's louche presence in the team was, to many Arsenal supporters, a key indicator of their
difficulties in front of goal last season.

. Manchester City were up against the first of the ‘Big Four' since their splash on the transfer
market, and the Eastlands club came out of the encounter with flying colours. Arsenal goalkeeper
Manuel Almunia bled his side when he made a mistake that saw him being marked down as the scorer,
but for all the wrong [.

employees.
Emmanuel Adebayor inspired his new team to victory over Arsenal to keep their 100% start to the

The Manchester City striker scored past his former club, and celebrated wildly as he maintained
his personal record of one goal in every game so far this season.

Both Manchester clubs picked up deserved wins on Saturday as they squared off against two of

against Tottenham.

Who: Manchester City (4th) Vs Arsenal (6th)
Critics say that Manchester City could displace Arsenal in the Big 4 this season, and perhaps, this
is the most vital game in that battle. Arsenal would be looking to come back strong after the loss
the Manchester United a couple of weeks back, and push the Citizens off the track.

With all the recent media attention on Eduardo he can expect to get an earful assuming he plays
or is on the bench tonight at Wembley for Croatia against England.
Elsewhere Arsenal players are dotted around the globe playing for their various national teams
in World Cup qualifiers. We can only hope that all return tomorrow and Friday unscathed and
fighting fit for our visit to the City of Manchester Stadium (artfully titled "the Council House"
by fans of the red half of Manchester) to play Citeh.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Nicklas Bendtner may well have looked pretty in pink but the most ardent
Arsenalista out there must admit the great Dane didn't suit his outlandish footwear nor, indeed,
did he live up such a flamboyant choice of footwear that often.
But fair play to Bendy boy, he has ditched the pink 'uns and you can buy them from him if you so
desire because he is flogging them on eBay to raise cash for Danish charity.

It's transfer deadline day, that strange combination of inertia and BIG BIG news, as clubs seek
to fine tune their squads before the curtain draws and the window stays shut until the start of
January. But will anything actually happen? The media are hoping that something will - several
media outlets have someone sitting at a desk in their office, taking text messages and emails from
people that may or may not have seen footballers sneaking through the gates of grounds that would
normally be considered to be away grounds or meeting people shady people in dark glasses at
motorway service stations.

In the aftermath of our comfortable win over Celtic on Wednesday night we couldn't have asked
for much more from the Champions League group stage draw in Monte Carlo yesterday evening.
With no disrespect to Olympiakos, AZAlkmaar and Standard Liège on paper we should qualify

European champions Barcelona ended their dominant pre-season with a frustrating 1-0 defeat at
the hands of a defiant Manchester City side in front of around 90,000 fans at Catalonia's huge Camp
Nou Stadium. While I will stay consistent with one of my previous articles by conceding that
pre-season results carry little materiality, tonight's game should go a long way in demonstrating
just how foolish it is to write off Mark Hughes' flamboyant, new-look Sky Blues.

David Moyes appears to have lost the battle to keep Joleon at the club.
MANCHESTER CITY expect to finally land Everton centre-back Joleon Lescott today.
The England defender could even be unveiled to fans at City's Eastlands open day this

Mark Hughes has trailed Lescott, 26, since January with Goodison chief David Moyes insisting the
player was not for sale.

The season is fast approaching, and with preseason friendlies now fully underway squads are
getting ready for the 2009/10 Premier League season. Last season saw Aston Villa comfortable in
fourth place for much of the season before stuttering over the finish line, but Martin O'Neill's
side lead a long list of clubs hoping to crack into the four coveted Champions League spots this
season.

Christmas is a time for miracles: flying reindeer, warring families reunited, a decrease in
stabbings (unless you live in Croydon), and the only four weeks of the year where fat, sweaty,
silver-haired paedophiles find gainful employment.
However, THIS Christmas may also be when Mark Hughes finds himself out of a job, pink slip in
hand, wondering where it all went downhill.
