Barton’s Got Back
As a new day dawns for Man City’s away record, the moon makes a surprising appearance at the close of their match against the Toffees.
The FA will surely punish Barton for his excess of cheek on the pitch.

Today’s Sack Race Standings
- Dietmar Hamann is leaving Anfield for the Reebok Stadium.
- Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink heads down to the Valley.
- Liverpool keeper Chris Kirkland goes on loan to Wigan.
Update: Bolton claims their bid for Hamann is off, with Man City now a potential suitor.

Blues on Blues Crime
The FA has not yet made a decision on whether to charge Didier Drogba over his handball goal against Manchester City. They ought to do so, especially after Drogba’s bizarre self-incriminating interview with the Beeb, a performance richly deserving of the assessment Bobby Moore once made of Alf Ramsey, “As a PR man, he would have made a splendid concentration camp commandant.”
That being said, the Usual Suspects™ should take note of Stuart Pearce’s own observations on Sylvain Distin’s red card-winning moment:
“Why speak to the referee? Referees are under enough pressure as it is without me knocking on his door and barking in his face. He gave an honest decision.
“I’ve played in teams who have scored goals that have been maybe free kicks, handballs or whatever and you just get on with it. But I’m not going to moan about decisions because I know next week we might get a handball decision the referee doesn’t see and we get a goal from it.”
