Messi’s Little Helpers – Neymar & Alexis Sanchez
There’s no real doubt about the fact that Lionel Messi is the king of FC Barcelona, but even he can’t do it on his own.

Jose Mourinho is a “Dirty” Winner; Manuel Pellegrini is a Sore Loser
It feels as if the Chelsea – Manchester City match, won in the 90th minute by Fernando Torres, was the first really big game of the season, or at least the most emotional we’ve seen in the Premier League so far.
