Football through the night @ Lukaku wants CL football, Campbell loving it at Loftus and United and Arsenal target staying put

It took Massimo Moratti five competitive games into the new season to see another manager feel the full wrath of his forceful hand. Gian Piero Gasperini took over the vacant space left by Leonardo, who left for Paris St. Germain over the summer, and was a somewhat surprising choice for the trigger happy chairman. Having previously plied his trade with Crotone and Genoa, it was understandably going to be a whole other ball game when Inter came calling for the 53-year-old.

Last season Mancini rested some key players for their initial Carling Cup tie, they played and lost to West Brom.

A United Myth

Anyone who’s seen Manchester United’s start to the season couldn’t help but be impressed by not only the way they have defeated their opponents but with the players that helped them do it.
