alright friends?

order of business;

* both manc clubs play in europe, united home and city away. both likely to play fairly strong teams. bilbao should ensure that tonights game is more interesting than united's usual european fare this season. might tevez get on the city bench? pogba won't feature for united, he's off to italy.

* following on, some papers saying bielsa for chelsea. a great manager, sure, but surely he'd 'upset the applecart' even more than avb?

* spurs eventually win comfortably against 'plucky' stevenage, however they lose dawson and lennon to injury. dawson is out for the euros. :( ?

* fowler offered £100 a week +5k per appearance for blackpool, meaning he'd have to play 10 games before earning the same wage as a particular DiS board member.
