Well there was only one game today, but it was more about what happened off the pitch that made the news. First of all there was the end to the Fabregas saga, took long enough really. Ever since he first revealed he wanted to return to his home team, which anyone can understand when that team is Barcelona, he has not played the same for Arsenal and they were right to cash in, even though they could have made more money last year. You have to think that now Wenger has 34 million to spend, he has to sign a top quality player that should give Arsenal more of a fighting chance next year, however I doubt he will as he is too concerned with the UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations. Next there was the story of Robbie Keane moving to LA Galaxy, for a mere 1.8 million this should be a very good buy for Galaxy, although Spurs could have sold him for more.
Lastly, and by no means least, is the abduction of Mikel's father. I think it showed great character for him to play on Sunday knowing this has happened and I'd like to offer my condolences to him and his family, with hope that he is found quickly.
Manchester City 4 - 0 Swansea
After seeing the way they performed tonight I can see why everyone thinks they will be challenging for the title. Before tonight I never would have believed he could replicate his form for Atletico Madrid in the premier league, I thought he would be pushed off the ball a lot easier, but that 20 minute cameo he had removed all doubt from my mind. City could probably get rid of Tevez and still challenge now they have him. There is not really anything else to talk about in this match as the City defence wasn't really troubled at all, and Swansea did not really have much of a chance to play. I'd like to think that Swansea have a good chance of staying up but I'm not too sure at the moment, have to place them at either in the relegation zone or maybe just out of it if they're lucky. City, well after seeing them tonight I am seriously worried for Chelsea at the moment, if the blues buy no more players then City will beat them and could possibly finish 1st. One thing is for sure it will be a tight table at the end of the season.
Man of the match - Oh, without a doubt Sergio Aguero, he played only for 20 odd minuted but what a debut in that time. Scoring two goals, one a screamer, and assisting another one. He looks like a force to be reckoned with in the future.
