What’s really happening at Manchester City?
Carlos Tevez needs a short, sharp shock and so does football to stop tolerating such child-like antics. He might be one of the highest paid footballers in the world, and probably rightly so on ability alone, but his conduct and professionalism is a good example to youngsters – at how #Carlos Tévez #ManchesterCity #TheBigFight

For Mancini, Hargreaves was another toy to slot in with the rest
How predictable that the two Manchester outfits should be making an early charge for Premier League glory. It's not so predictable though that former England and United midfielder Owen Hargreaves is now part of City's challenge. It's crazy. Not crazy that Hargreaves should be wanted by a top four club and #football #KickingAround #Owen Hargreaves #Sports

There are some medals cantankerous Fergie will never win
So, Fergie was up to his old tricks again this week. I don’t mean he was intimidating referees by pointing to his watch for eight minutes of stoppage time or even suggesting an official was favouring the opposition. No, this time the Scot was snapping at a television inquisitor after Manchester #Alex Ferguson #football #Kelly Dalglish #KickingAround #Manchester United #Sports

Is India the new England, and England the new Aus?
The type of catastrophic tour that the India team is currently experiencing was the kind that England themselves were once accustomed to not so long ago. In fact, is India the new England? The 1994-95 Ashes trip by Mike Atherton’s England was a 4-1 defeat and with so many injuries, and #Australia #England cricket team #Lords #TheLongView

Arsenal, Chelsea have lost more than they’ve gained
Love it or hate it, oppose it or support it, but one thing cannot be denied: deadline day of the transfer window provides story lines better than your most unbelievable soap opera. The drama and hype is strangely addictive. There are always winners and losers, and even those who fall in #Arsenal F.C. #EPL #KickingAround #Liverpool #Peter Crouch

Late transfer assault could see Arsenal still win league
When Sir Alex Ferguson dedicates a glowing reference towards his long-time fierce adversary Arsene Wenger in his after-match media comments, you know something is wrong. And though it’s stating the obvious, things are definitely wrong with Arsenal at the minute. Ferguson, who didn’t seem to be intent on patronising Wenger but #Andrei Arshavin #Arsenal #Jack Wilshere #Samir Nasri #TheLongView

Man United-Arsenal battles have lost their charm
Manchester United versus Arsenal not so long ago would have been the first of two titanic battles renowned as the Premier League’s most important match-up on the fixture list. Now, though, it may not even be the most important match of the day. Tottenham entertain Manchester City on Sunday also and #Arsenal #English Premier League #EPL #football #KickingAround #Manchester United #Sports

‘There is no way England can compare itself to West Indies or Australia’
Duncan Fletcher's duel with Andy Flower will add spice to an Indian summer. So they thought but the England Team Director has thoroughly outsmarted the new India coach and helped his team reach the top of the world. Flower gave an interview to reporters on Sunday, after England thrashed India in #Andrew Strauss #Andy Flower #Cricket #India #TheBigSeries

It would be ‘amazing’ to whitewash India
There have been times when Kevin Pietersen would be totally unconcerned by the happenings on the field. But the series against India has unfortnately not been one of those moments. The right-hander has been in sublime touch, taking the momentum away from India with knocks that showcased not only his #India #Kevin Pietersen #Sports #TheBigSeries

India can’t bat, bowl or catch. Have we wondered why?
Edgbaston: So, India are 3-0 down in England, and they can’t bat, they can’t bowl and can’t catch. At least these are the observations we made at Edgbaston. But surely the team that has gone unbeaten for the last three years is better than this. Of course they are. There are #Cricket #Gautam Gambhir #Mahendra Singh Dhoni #Sachin Tendulkar #TheBigSeries
