The first weekend of Premier League matches for the 2012/13 season did not disappoint, but
something was missing. So to make the start of the new season official, Paul Scholes put in one of
his usual late, lunging tackles on Everton's Darron Gibson to earn a yellow card in the 13th minute
of Manchester United's 1-0 loss.
Lukas Podolski has told Arsenal fans that he is integrating well with his new surroundings and
hopes for a strong start to his Premier League career when the Gunners face Sunderland in their
season opener on August 18.
Podolski missed Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia due to arriving late to training following
Euro 2012 duty but the Germany international has had two weeks of solid preparation to bolster his
confidence.
Joe Cole hopes that he can use the 2012-13 campaign to help Liverpool reach their potential and
prove that he belongs at the "great" Merseyside club.
Former West Ham and Chelsea star Cole arrived at Anfield in a high-profile move two years ago
but after a disappointing first campaign, he was sent out on loan at French side Lille.
Some people find their way in the world as a jack of all trades, spending their talents over a
range of different tasks. Others, meanwhile, discover that they can do one thing, but do it very

new boys Southampton.
The Dutch international opened with a first-half strike before scoring two more goals in the
87th minute and second minute of second-half stoppage time to erase a 2-1 Southampton lead.
It had become a matter of time. The Boston Red Sox were going to trade away their long-time
third baseman Kevin Youkilis. Today, we got an answer as the Red Sox shipped him to the Chicago
White Sox for two prospects. Youkilis will become the everyday third baseman in Chicago and will
look to prove to Boston that he still has some gas left in the tank.
For only the 16th time in baseball history, a player has hit four home runs in one game. That
player was Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers, who did it Tuesday night against the Baltimore
Orioles. All four of Hamilton's homers were two-run shots.
Said Hamilton after the game: "Obviously it's, other than being in the World Series, the
highlight of my big-league career.
What an AWESOME start to the year! Six wins, one well fought out draw and a marginal 1-0 loss in
8 matches since January. 8 matches in which Lyon has scored 19 goals.
After Blackburn got their very own Olsson twins yesterday, we look at the best of twin team-mates
to grace English football. 1. Rafael and Fabio Da Silva Arguably English football's top-achieving
twins to date, in tag team terms. Unlike some sets of footballing twins, the talent seems to be
fairly equal between the pair.
