Mercredi dernier, les lignes des centrales de réservation hôtelières de Londres ont été longtemps saturées. La veille, Man U avait fini par battre Manu (Neuer), avec deux buts en trois minutes de Ryan Giggs et Wayne Rooney, et, malgré la performance exceptionnelle du gardien allemand de Schalke 04, Manchester United a déjà quasiment son billet en poche pour fa finale du 28 mai à Wem-bley, à deux heures de train au sud. Statistiquement, Nemanja Vidic et ses coéquipiers ont 97 % de chances de le composter définitivement ce soir. Comment dès lors ne pas comprendre les certitudes du peuple rouge, déjà tout excité à l'idée d'une expédition dans un stade où, en 1968, les plus âgés d'entre eux virent George Best et Bobby Charlton leur offrir le premier des trois titres européens du club (4-1 a.p. contre Benfica) ? Bien entendu, c'est un discours prudent que l'on a entendu hier à Old Trafford. « L'Inter Milan a commis la folie de sous-estimer Schalke, et il en a payé le prix. Ne soyons pas assez idiots pour commettre la même erreur», a ainsi averti l'admirable Ryan Giggs.

Sunday 28 August 2011
White Hart Lane London

Their first two games had already been won and an upbeat tone established for the season ahead but Manchester City's true statement of intent was delivered here. To beat Swansea and Bolton is one thing but to dismantle, even humiliate, Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane is quite another. This expensively assembled team is already capable of appearing untouchable. A first league victory in this corner of north London in 20 years returned City to the top of the formative Premier League table but it was the manner of their success that will reverberate through the division. This club already felt comfortable enough in their strength in depth to loan Emmanuel Adebayor to Spurs, the team who had denied City a place in the Champions League 15 months ago. This was why.

 If you'd wandered up to a Norwich City fan on the evening of August 8, 2009 and totd them they'd be rubbing shoulders with England's elite in two years, you may well have got a bop on the nose. That was the day Paul Lambert's Colchester thumped the Canaries 7-1 in their League One season opener -the worst home defeat in Norwich's 109-year history. Lambert became their boss soon afterwords, and promptly masterminded bock-to-back promotions. In fact, the club's biggest feat of the summer has been keeping Lambert at the helm, despite interest from the claret-and-blue clubs of both East London and the West Midlands.
