Nix's comments: Finally Mancs got something a little bit harder. We could have gotten a slightly easier group and a much harder one as well. So I'll take this group without complains. Arsenal will face a couple of headaches if they get Sevilla. I hope Chelsea have fun with Valencia :D

Next Game: Sunderland (away)

Sunderland.
I really hate Sunderland. Maybe it's just me, perhaps it was a hate build up from constant disappointment during the Roy Evans days. I remember we dropped points regularly at Sunderland. That is why I hate them.

Why did they get promoted? They should have stayed in the lower division for good. Oh, so Roy Keane is the key driving force behind their promotion? Gosh, I hate them even more now.

This game is a BIG game for me. It will be very sweet for me if we beat them, and extremely bitter if we don't. This is also a game to show if we are Championship materials this season. A game to judge. Nothing less.

Surrender your points, Roy Keane and boys!

Next game: Aston Villa vs Liverpool

Hey Villa, Villians, whatever you are called, listen up!
I know you have a good manager in Martin O'Neill. I know you've signed a fine pair Nigel Reo-Coker and Marlon Harewood. I know our former darling Patrik Berger has been in fine form during pre-season.

And of course, Liverpool has not been winning their openers for years. So WATCH OUT! It's unfortunate that you are in the wrong end of history. Liverpool WILL win this opener. Why? It's all in the stars. (I'll tell you after the game)

From Hong Kong to Holland, the Liverpool party are in more pre-season action when they take part in the Port of Rotterdam tournament.

The Reds will firstly take on Chinese Super League side Shenghai Shenhua.

Shenghai became one team as they were formerly made up of two sides in Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai United.

They are one of the best teams in the the Chinese League. In its short history the club has already been runners-up in the Chinese Super League twice.
