Column 5: Pre-Weekend Roundup

Ok, to get you psyched up for this weekend's upcoming games, here's some fat to chew on in the meantime:


My thoughts exactly:  Sir Alex Ferguson Mocks Champion Chelsea's Easy Start to the Season.  This article has a bit of everything in it.  Sir Alex dishes on Chelsea, Man City's flip-floppy start to the season, Wayne Rooney's "dissheveled" performance to date, and one (final) slap at Rafa "Failure is my Middle Name" Benitez.


I don't know whether to be excited about this news or disappointed by it: Manchester United Target $16M Teenager De Gea . This move would take a big step toward securing United's long-term goaltending issue, but make my second favorite team weaker defensively.  Better hope Los Colchoneros have a good backup (actually, I think they do in the person of Sergio Asenjo)!


Arsenal fans are pretty witty: Redknapp Pranked by Arsenal Supporter.  Guess they have plenty of time to think up elaborate hijinks since they don't seem to spend much time celebrating championships.


A Shout out to my friend BLeg, who has a new neighbor: Thierry Henry Buys in SoHo.  Just don't ask him to "hand" over the keys anytime soon....


Master of the Obvious, Gerard Pique: Without Lionel Messi Everything is More Complicated.  Is this actually news? 


Master of the Obvious, Part Two: Aleksandr Hleb: I Need to Accept that Birmingham City is Very Different than Barcelona and Arsenal.  Umm, yeah.  That's an understatement. 


Over and Out.  Enjoy your footie this weekend -- lots of good games to choose from, starting off with Man City vs. Chelsea on ESPN2 tomorrow morning at 7:45am EST.


And that's farlieonfootie for September 25.
