Leaving the power struggle soap comedy that is Newcastle United aside, Manchester City’s defeat in the Carling Cup this week to struggling Brighton & Hove Albion came as a major shock.

While record signing Robinho has since sacked his agent - don’t read too much into, but the timing is something approaching perfection - the rest of the Manchester City team have put their heads down and got on with the business of preparation of taking the short trip to Wigan.

The Carling Cup threw up all sorts of shocks - while City were bruised and beaten by Brighton, Wigan Athletic slotted home four.  The signs are that this weekends fixture is set to be a bit of a racy affair, with the potential of goals.

Elswhere,  Sunderland fans deserved the telling off that Roy Keane gave them.  Frankly, I wouldn’t look at him from too close-up, for fear of him scything me down in a crunching tackle… but I’d love it if he was my team’s manager.  He was well within his rights to demand the fans didn’t boo him and the team, their disappointment at Sunderland’s performance has added another load of nonsense to Keane’s already ridiculous fall out with FIFA’s Jack Warner.
