Manchester City.

Inside Left 20 November @ 05:40 AM EST
For some reason, it seems like ages since last had a round of club football, but we're sure happy
that it's back on the agenda this weekend, because, well, this has been another particularly
stressful week in the constantly varying Scottish football landscape. Most friendlies are futile.
These days they serve only as an excuse to increase [.

Sadly, my viewing of the semi-final matches was limited this weekend. I planned to watch the
Galaxy-Dynamo match before hitting the road Saturday morning, but the delayed kickoff and power
outages meant I only caught the first half before hitting...

Show of hands, please. Who thinks the MLS HQ thought police "requested" more goals after the
Sounders-Dynamo 0-0 brawl (admittedly not a bad game to watch, despite the lack of goals) and the
"might as well have been 0-0" RSL victory over the Crew...

A first from last week! The guest pundit, Sayumi, scored more than both Damon and Damian. She'll
be happy with that and her team, Kawasaki's, great result over Hiroshima 7-0. Damon drops into last
place, and he really is going through a dismal run of form. This week it's the turn of the north
London derby to take centre stage along with the return legs of some of the big Champions League
games.

It's that time of year again, MLS fans. The leaves are turning, a chill wind blows from the north,

Who: Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers
What: The Carling Cup
Where: Old Trafford, Manchester, England
When: Wednesday, August 23, 2009 (8:00 PM GMT or 3:00 PM EST)
Why: Because United must defend their title in a cup that no one (aside from nerdy
bloggers such as myself) appears to really care all that much about.

So I actually did get time to do a preview, you lucky ducks! I've used the handy BBC Premiership
Predictor, a wonderful piece of web design where you can enter your expected results and see how it
affects the table. Perfect for wasting time if you're at work/school and don't actually want to do
something (I am a champion procrastinator, in fact I should be doing math homework as I type
this).

So basically I have to get on a plane in about an hour and have somehow procrastinated til now
to do my preview so it was be a bit rushed/short. I realize now that that time I took to do my
nails last night, could've been spent doing this. Oh well, it all comes together in retrospect
doesn't it?

I was on a job site all day, so I wasn't quite able to put in the research I would have liked.
However, I did have time to jot down some random thoughts. So, without further ado, my abbreviated

references may come into play.

With yesterday's games in the books, the draw for the Champions League Group Stage will take
place today. Coverage of the event begins at 16:30 BST (with the actual draw to take place closer
to 17:00 BST). Looking at the pots, I must admit that I am only seeing the negative scenarios,
which gives me considerable pause for concern.
