Alan Pardew put the Magpies defeat purely down to fatigue; an excuse that doesn’t hold much weight given the quality and depth of their squad compared to their hosts. Manchester City will be hoping to avoid a potential banana skin this afternoon, when Mancini faces his former boss, Sven Goran-Eriksson.
da fazobetai： In the papers this morning there have been a mixed bag of stories that includes Samir Nasri looks set to extend Arsenal contract; Kenny Dalglish calling for unity, while Spurs are keen to take Beckham on a permanent basis.
