Wednesday December 22


FOOTBALL: The Guardian’s Paul Hayward thinks Man City boss Roberto Mancini must be privately dividing his squad into those just want to take the money and others driven by grander aims. David Conn says the new owners of Blackburn Rovers view their purchase as a leg on the journey toward seeing India as No1 on the poultry map of the world. The Daily Telegraph’s Mark Ogden argues that Mario Balotelli’s attitude is causing concern at Man City. The Daily Mirror’s Oliver Holt thinks that there were three wise men of 2010 that we should have listened to when they tried to point out that something was wrong. Former FA chairman Lord Triesman, John Terry and ex-FA chief executive Ian Watmore. The Independent’s James Lawton says there may come a day when Internazionale boss Rafa Benitez runs out of other people to blame.

SPORTS POLITICS: In The Guardian Tom McNab, a motivational speaker, believes sport, like the arts, is a vital element in the glue which holds our society together.

THE ASHES: In The Independent Angus Fraser thinks Paul Collingwood should be dropped for the fourth Test and Steven Finn retained. In The Times Mike Atherton argues that England should keep their faith in Finn. Matthew Syed says we should celebrate England’s defeat as a victory for Test cricket.

QUOTE: ‘There’s only one that is a little stronger than me – Lionel Messi.’ Mario Balotelli
