Man City Bad Draw and RVP saves Man U

Hello, today topics are Champions League drawings, first three weeks of the Premier League and minor stories!!

The defending champions of the Premier League season where not given a one seed in the drawing for the groups of the champions league. For me it was okay since I do not really like Manchester City, but the City fans across the world where probably pretty mad! Manchester City  has one of the toughest groups in the Champions League with Real Madrid (defending La Liga Champs), B. Dortmund (defending Bundesliga Champs) and Ajax (defending Dutch Eredivisie Champs). Just across the street Manchester United got a way easier group than City and they should make their way through to the knock out stages. Other notable groups include group C which have the teams AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg, Anderlecht, and Malaga. Arsenal drew Schalke, Olympiakos, and  Montpellier. So it will not be the easiest way through for them, but I think they can make it.

In the Premier League, South Hampton kept another close score with a top team. They lead Manchester United 2-1 pretty late in the second half and when Robin Van Persie missed his penalty kick South Hampton got momentum. But the missed penalty did not affect RVP as he scored the next two goals for Man U, which put them up 3-2. Manchester went on to win the game with that score and Van Persie actually scored all three of their goals. Arsenal got their first win against Liverpool with new signings Santi Carzola and Lukas Podolski both hitting the back of the net. In three games Arsenal's defense has allowed 0 goals!

In transfer news both Hugo Lloris and Clint Dempsey have gone to Tottenham! The Spurs also signed another Fulham player Mousa Dembele. Dempsey should help out in the midfield after the departure of Modric. Hugo Lloris will have to battle for the goalkeeper spot with American goalie Brad Friedel. Nuri Sahin has went to Liverpool instead of Arsenal, but Arsenal did not need Sahin in their game against Liverpool as you can see in the score line above.

Thanks for reading today!
