I cannot bear to see the number of cheats in the game today.
Players feigning injury to get a fellow pro sent off; defenders grabbing the shirts of opponents at set plays; the amount of theatrical diving all over the pitch and not just in the penalty areas.
I can see the creation of a new TV programme – Strictly Come Diving – with Charles N’Zogbia, Didier Drogba and Jurgen Klinsmann – the most famous of them all – as the judging panel!

The transfer window has just opened and already several Premier League managers have shut it tight.
Will Arsene Wenger break the habit of a lifetime?
Will Roberto Mancini break the bank again?
A good January signing could make all the difference especially as the title race is so wide open.
