I'm mostly starting one because I want to know who has the screening rights to the World Club Cup in the UK and my Google searches have been fruitless. Anyone know? Who has had them in previous years?

Arsenal lose but creep through one of the weaker groups in second position, seemingly destined to draw Barca a-fucking-gain, City successfully finish bottom of their group, Chelsea look set to be the first CL-era holders to exit at the first hurdle (somewhat interestingly, probably with more points than Arsenal qualified with. Hmmm) and Man Utd have Cluj in a game that means nowt to them.

Transfer rumours are starting to hot up. That'll be fun, eh?
