Sporting News.

I do apologize non-soccer followers, I will not turn this into a soccer or sports blog. I will resist the temptation to do this again. After today.

"Legendary" victory secured. God's Righteous Team of Angels in Blue swatted Harry the Hornet 2-0 on goals by Fernandinho and Raheem Sterling, Raheem's first as an Angel.

Heh-heh-heh. Child Porn beat Chelsea at the Bridge, 2-1, their first win there in 33 years. Mourinho is gonna bust a gasket.

Heh-heh-heh-heh. The Hammerheads beat the Red Sox at Fenway 3-0 (first victory there in 52 years). Heh-heh-heh-heh.

"Wenger: Result more important than performance."-ESPNFC. In a desultory match on Tyneside, Woolwich Arsenal beat the ten-man Striped Prison Shirts 1-0 on an own goal.

Four matches in. Four matches in, Manchester City are clear and away the best in the EPL. Four straight wins, four straight shutouts, 10-0 goal difference, top of the EPL table, Crystal Palace second, realistic competitors faltering, holders Chelsea now with two losses, 13th place, eight points and 13 goals behind City, Arsenal, completely unimpressive, fifth place, five points and ten goals off, Liverpool sixth, five points and 11 goals behind. Manchester "Buccaneers" have not lost yet, they have one draw in three matches and play tomorrow at Swans. Ominously, manager Louis van Gaal has fallen out with goalkeeper David De Gea who wants out. Thus, four matches in.
