Charity Shield

Its back! The curtain raiser to the new Barclays Premier League is tomorrow night! This year the opener See’s FA Cup champions Portsmouth take on the League champions Manchester United. This season should be particularly interesting not because of the new signings by the so called “big four” but how the other teams are slowly closing the gap!

Teams like Pompey,Sunderland,Newcastle,Spurs,Man City and even Fulham are my takes to form the top half of the table. The teams that will be suffering this season? I think that Blackburn,Everton,Boro and West Ham are the big teams that will be warming the bottom half of the table.

Cant wait for the matches to start and the coffee shop managers to emerge again!

Who is your pick to win the Charity Shield?

MV Augusta

Heard of MV Augusta? MV Augusta is a Italian motocycle maker that makes MV Augusta and Cagiva bikes for racing and street use. The company was not doing too well and eventually when appraoched by Proton ,it was sold for 70 million euro in December 2004. Proton realised after that that there wasnt much synergy between the companies and decided to  cut its ties with MV Agusta and sold it to GEVI SpA, a Genoa-based financing company related to Carige, for a token euro excluding debt.
