For the neutrals it must have been a good game, for us it was another "typical" Chelsea display in
a game that on paper, Chelsea should have won easily.
Now I mean no disrespect to Reading and their fans at all when I say that, but let's put things
into perspective here. A newly promoted side come to Stamford Bridge on a Wednesday night, on
Chelsea's first appearance at the Bridge since winning the Champions League and with plenty of
attacking talent on the pitch, surely it's a home banker isn't it?
Football is back. Thank God for that. I've been having a difficult time motivating myself to get
on the internet in the last few weeks but it should all improve now. Hopefully the blog will also
be a bit more regular.
Three Gunners were involved on the opening day. Szczesny featured in the tournament opener for
the hosts but had an imminently forgettable outing.

So Kevin Nolan is on his way from Newcastle United to Upton Park. Surprisingly, the Newcastle
skipper rejected a new contract at St James' Park in favour of a move down a division to the
Hammers. At first glance, this is not good news for Newcastle....

Over the past few weeks and months, TSG has served you a steady diet of MLS MVP data
snacks....but we've left the bright orange cellophane on for you to unwrap yourself.
Our candidate here at TSG is Brad Davis who has created 40 more "chances" this season (data
excluding this past weekend) then the next closest competitor, according to Opta.
US's Strategy
Once again in the tournament, Bob Bradley made surprising lineup and formation changes. Landon
Donovan and Freddy Adu replaced Sasha Kljestan and Juan Agudelo. Donovan and Adu played as left and
right striker respectively as Bradley reverted to a 4-4-2. Throughout the match, Dempsey and
Donovan swapped places.
Tonight the USA Men's National Team played the Mexican National Team in Stadium Azteca. Most
people probably could care less about a friendly, even one in Mexico. I, for one, am always
intrigued by these international friendlies, but not so much for the results. I love the
opportunities presented to guys who might not normally get the opportunity to get decent minutes
against quality competition.
Vuolo: Solid Between the PipesThe Red Bulls got the Arizona leg of their 2012 preseason
underway on Wednesday night, dropping a 0-1 decision to Real Salt Lake in their first match of the
Desert Diamond Cup. With the "Reto Del Sol" match against UNAM Pumas scheduled for Thursday,
against RSL Hans Backe was forced to field a squad composed of reserve players and trialists.
Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic has been linked with a move to England for a couple of months now,
and latest developments seem to suggest that a move down south could be imminent.Jelavic was left
out of the Rangers starting line-up for yesterday's clash with Motherwell, which is strange given
the fact he's featured in practically every game this season.
Welcome to ze blog. In most parts of the world it would just be an ordinary, boring, if not
tedious, Monday morning.
But with the boys in blue and yellow getting deconstructed (you could happily substitute that with
either smashed, mauled, clawed or demolished) on Saturday, there's this concept of Mad Monday to
contend with.
Liverpool last night suffered defeat in their opening game of the NextGen series – an
unofficial U-19 ‘Champions League' – at Anfield against Portuguese side, Sporting Clube de
Portugal. Two goals in the first half and one late on in the second condemned Rodolfo Borrell's
side, and though there were certainly signs of improvement throughout the second half, it was
perhaps something of a reality check to the much lauded Liverpool players as to how far they still
have to go.
Lionel Messi produced yet another memorable performance as his brilliant brace helped Barcelona
triumph 5-4 on aggregate over bitter rivals Real Madrid to lift the Spanish Super Cup at Camp
Nou.
With the score tied at 2-2 following the first leg in Madrid on Sunday, tonight's thrilling
second leg appeared to be heading for yet another stalemate when Messi broke the deadlock two
minutes from the full-time whistle.
