The Community Shield raises more questions than it answers about how Chelsea and Man Utd will perform this season but given the snooze-fest the Shield usually is it wasn't a bad game. Ferguson gets the season off to a start in traditional fashion, ie by pissing and moaning, and Drogba takes precisely 12 minutes to act injured. Nice to see that somethings never change.

Spurs beat Olympiakos 3-0, Roman Pavyluchenko (sp? Can't be arsed to check it) looking especially impressive. David Bentley throws a strop.

City have seemingly given up on Lescott and will table a bid for Matthew Upson today. Rumours are that West Ham's financial situation will more or less force their hands on the issue.

Landon Donavan and David Beckham are BFFs again. Awwww.
