As part of our enhanced match coverage on setantasports.com, we will be providing blog entries from our reporters after each Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup match.

These will allow our reporters to provide an honest opinion on the match and the issues arising from it away from the more traditional match report they will be writing.

The idea is to generate debate and give the sort of view that you would expect to receive in any open discussion at the pub after a game.

For instance, there will now be the opportunity to explain some of their player ratings - why somebody was ranked particularly highly or very badly. The reporter will also be able to add his response to any points you may raise using the feedback forms.

Our reporters will also be tasked with keeping their blogs up to date on any other topics that crop up at regular times so why not get in touch with them?

Have City caught Wenger napping in the blocks?

The Lehman brother-styled financial breakdown has been avoided, Manchester City and Aston Villa have agreed the transfer of Gareth Barry.

No sign of Liverpool and...more tellingly...no sign of Arsenal.

An England international, who has declared his desire to play Champions League football, joining a team who are not even in Europe when it would seem he is the perfect foil to Cesc Fabregas.

Has Arsene Wenger been left in the blocks by one of his rival managers? Has the Arsenal board whacked the handcuffs on their manager? Only they know. Maybe Wenger does not want Barry anymore.

But 12 months ago he most definitely did.
