New Season Starts! (seriously it has in Switzerland)

I think that there is something seriously wrong with football being played in temperatures of 30 deg+ or when you're just settling down to watch the first test of an Ashes series. I can understand the Swiss not really being preoccupied with cricket but the Tour is only in its second week and the temperature is far too hot for football. It certainly didn't do my local team, FC Basel, any favours as they managed to lose their first game away to newly promoted St Gallen. One thing they still have out here is the good old "football special". I saw the Basel one on Sunday as I was cycling home from a ride and the fans had the beer cases, the scarves and just did not realise their first game optimism was seriously misplaced!
Meanwhile I've just seen two Man City stories, the first regarding an alleged interest in Adebayor and the second, more recent, that they have signed Tevez. If the second is confirmed then I guess the first rumour is probably false as they can't keep on buying every forward around can they? It seems a shame from one perspective as Adebayor and City are made for each other with their love of cash and lots of it.
