Frank Dell'apa of the Boston Glove previews that match too, saying New England's Shalrie Joseph will not play after cutting his hand on broken glass during an "altercation". No more word on that one, but I expect we will hear more in the coming days. New signing, striker Jose Abundis will suit up.

So the story goes that when DaMarcus Beasley stepped on the field for his first Manchester City appearance last Saturday he made a giant mistake by wearing his red shoes. Noooooooooooooooooo! That's Man U colors amigo. The crowd began to chant "blue boots, blue boots, blue boots." Wisely he came out onto the pitch to start the second half wearing the right color shoes. End of story.

The big splash in the English tabloids these days is about club managers taking under the table kickbacks from players agents for buying their players on the transfer market. Sam Allardyce of Bolton is the man several agents have pointed their finger at. Is this illegal? I am not sure what the problem is? If a manager takes money to sign a player who stinks then it will only make his team stink and he loses his job. The BBC has even gotten in to the mud slinging with an "expose" on the matter. My favorite part of this whole saga is the fact that the term used for these supposed bribes is "bung". What is that? The only other person I have heard use the word bung is Beavis.
