*'Kevin De Bruyne is off to Man City' says Wolfsburg director Klaus Allofs-ESPNFC. UPDATED 12:27 am, Aug. 29.

Manchester City eyeing another legendary victory against Watford-ESPNFC.

                                                         ?

There are NO legendary victories against "Watford," okay? NONE! Watford does not do legends. Legends do not travel along Vicarage Road. "Harry the Hornet" is not a legend. What the hell is that melodrama of a lede about? If City wins, and it's at the Etihad by the way, it will break the old CLUB record for consecutive wins...That would not make it a "legendary" win either! City's history until 2007 was the kind of history you want to erase, not mark with a special occasion. "Legendary victory against Watford," good grief.

Continuing our theme UEFA announced its draws yesterday:

Manchester City get Group of Death again in Champions League

        -The Guardian.

"Again." "Another." These are not headlines from City's website or some fanzine!

They're in with Juventus, Sevilla, and, hold on, I have to copy and paste this...Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Very sorry to see that Murderer's Row but if they don't get out of the round of 16 this year, it will have been a Group of Death for Manuel Pellegrini's tenure at City.


Heh-heh-heh-heh.



And finally, the YouAlsoRan League announced its pairings. Liverpool is in Group "B" with Bordeaux, FC Sion Sitten, heh-heh-heh-heh, and...FK Rubin Kazan.

FK Rubin Kazan!


Hey Livers! Never walk alone into Rubin Kazan's deli.

Heh-heh-heh-heh.
