Supporters Relieved As The 2012/2013 Season Season Gets Underway

It's been a long summer for fans of the English football league with all of the nations attention going to the Olympic games. It has served as a good distraction though and helped folks like you and me get through those long summer months without any decent sports to watch. The Premier League has seen a few changes with players coming and going through the ever revolving doors of the premier league transfer system. One big signing has been the transfer of Jack Rodwell from Everton to Man City. Injuries have also been making headlines too with City losing Richards to an ankle injury for the opening month of the premier league season. The other big pre-season football news is that Man City defeated Chelsea in the Charity Shield. Chelsea were ahead on 40 minutes with a Torres goal but his team were left a man down a short while later when Ivanovic was red-carded for a serious lunge on city player Kolarov. After the break, City really got going and took advantage of the extra man and went 3-1 up with goals from Toure, Tevez and Nasri. Chelsea did get back into the game after a mistake by the city goalkeeper but they managed to hold on for a 3-2 win. The city manager was pleased by the preseason effort put in by Tevez in what many people see as significant gesture having had so many difficulties in the past. Mancini has not always been a fan of the troubled forward resulting in him being missing from a number of games last season, much to the disappointment of the city fans. Tevez can be a very important player this season if he can keep his form consistent and stay out of trouble on and off the pitch. According to the city manager Tevez has done a full preseasons training for the first time in over four years.
