As promised folks the second part of our football review is here. So how will the biggest day of the season take shape? Will Liverpool recorded their very first win of the league season. Are the Red Devils in striking distance of hitting top form are showcase their full talent against their biggest rivals. How will Roberto Mancini's men recover form that tough defeat in the Champions League against Real Madrid? Are Arsenal truly for real this season? So many questions! No doubt we will find clues in answering these questions on Sunday but let us hope it will be a brilliant day of footy action.

Football Glorious Football - Part 1

 

With international qualifiers underway, and cup competitions both domestic and in Europe kicking off, as far as I am concerned this year's football season has officially begun. The few rounds of what I call gentle sparring we had in August and the transfer window merciful closed in most of Europe leagues, the games now come thick and fast. Many cheers I think I hear from all you footy fans. 

Alas we had the first round of group matches in the Champions League this week, and with two marquee matches that twinkled brighter than Lionel Messi's quick feet, there was plenty for my boy Manesh and I to sink our teeth in to. Watch out for our review of Sunday's heavyweight contests between arch-rivals Liverpool against Manchester United, and Premier League champs Manchester City entertaining a thriving Arsenal.

 

 

KP Nuts?!!!

With the sporting action being dominated by the Olympics in London, and not forgetting the Euros in Poland and Ukraine, some may have overlooked that this summer a major contest in Test cricket between England and South Africa. England headed into the three match series ranked as number one, and their visitors South Africa were hot on their heels knowing that if they won the series they would replace England as Test cricket's top outfit. On a side note, what a shocking decision to only have three matches between two of the game’s top teams!  

Nevertheless, what we had was an intriguing contest deservedly won by South Africa. But away from the stumps, for the third successive time South Africa and their captain Graeme Smith, would tour England and the English Test captain would leave his post. However, Andrew Strauss would not leave without some sort of storm involving him, his former charges, and a certain Kevin Pietersen.
