Sorry for the late update as we had a busy week.

We will find out soon enough.

Everyone knows Napoli or AC Milan are not an easy team to play against. So when both Arsenal and Chelsea arrived in Italy, I am pretty sure most of their fans were hoping for a  draw. ‘Just, don’t lose this game.’ was probably what they were thinking. But guess what? Both teams lost their games in the most unacceptable way.

After some rest, the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League will be back to business this week. With some big teams playing in Europa this season, we are pretty sure both Leagues will be exciting to watch. Let’s see which matches are up this week, that you shouldn’t miss:

Match To Catch: Blues vs Reds

 
"I want one!"

Torres seems determined to end his four months goal drought tonight. Yet, since his last goal was against Swansea, and didn’t manage to score against big or small teams after that. No wonder Chicharito said "Not a chance, Fernando. Not tonight." He had a point there you know. Torres should probably think more about how to stop the Red Devils from scoring than to get a goal himself.

Gary Neville in Hong Kong

What did we do yesterday? We went to Hong Kong international airport and see who we found?! Gary Neville! He is in Hong Kong for a few days to meet his fans, and we were lucky enough to see him yesterday. Nah, not to interview him, just…like a fan girl. =P

The Manchester Derby? The red card? Even the result of the match were all not important enough to catch the headline that day. Why?  Because Paul Scholes is back in action! A shocking name appeared on the team sheet that day and surprised the world. Paul Scholes came out from retirement and will play for Manchester United till the end of this season. No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson is not looking for any new signings during the January transfer window. But what do you think about Paul Scholes back in United? Is he the solution for Man Utd?

Alex Ferguson celebrated his 25th years at Manchester United with a victory at home against Sunderland yesterday, the game ended in 1-0 with an own goal scored by former Man United player, Wes Brown. Maybe that’s his way of thanking Fergie? =P
