Guardian is the best news portal site in UK, i think. If you have to know latest celebrity news or latest EPL transfer rumour or some interesting reviews from many great experts, i will recommend you to go to Guardian.co.uk. Also they have really good weekly podcasts in many subjects such as entertainment and sports, especially for football. Here is my first post from Guardian: news about Chelsea Clinton's wedding ceremony.
Watched by her parents and VIPs from US politics and showbusiness, Chelsea Clinton married her long-term boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, after weeks of secrecy surrounding the build-up to the wedding in Rhinebeck, a village in New York State.
Crowds of local people and a large media pack desperate for a sight of the bride began forming from early morning in the hope of catching a glimpse of the couple at the exclusive estate on the Hudson River.
Former US president Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, the current secretary of state, emerged late on Friday night to greet the crowds as they arrived for a party. The reporters' hunt for celebrities yielded another result when acting couple Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen were spotted walking hand-in-hand through the village.
"I knew her since she was a baby so this is a big moment," said Steenburgen. "She's a lovely, lovely girl."
Up to 500 guests gathered for the ceremony, the details of which have been shrouded in secrecy, with shopkeepers, innkeepers, vendors and restaurateurs sworn to silence. Roads were blocked off, the skies were closed over the estate and inconvenienced neighbours were bought off with a complimentary bottle of wine.
The wedding took place at Astor Courts, a secluded estate built as a Beaux Arts-style playground for John Jacob Astor IV more than a century ago. The estate features the sort of commanding view that once inspired painters, as well as 50 acres of grounds to shield the party from prying eyes.
Speculation had reached fever pitch about the make-up of the guest list but Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and John Major were said not to be coming after all. Those who were spotted included former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright and film producer Steve Bing, while there were also rumoured sightings of investor Warren Buffett and bastketball player Kobe Bryant.
Bill Clinton made an appearance alone on Friday, greeting people and answering their questions. Looking fit and relaxed in blue jeans and a black shirt, Clinton appeared to have made a good attempt at shedding the 15 pounds his daughter had requested before walking her up the aisle and passed on dessert during lunch at a local restaurant.
It was a less well-known Clinton, Bill's cousin Marie Clinton Bruno, who finally spoke to the media when she was spotted strolled past shops with her husband, Gio, on her way to get dressed for the wedding. She said she couldn't believe that the girl who was a 10-year-old bridesmaid at her own wedding was now getting married.
"She was just a wonderful bridesmaid," said Bruno. "She's just as wonderful today as she was back then."
Onlookers who spotted other guests said the majority appeared to be in their late 20s or 30s, reflecting the ages of the happy couple, who were friends as teenagers in Washington before they both went on to attend Stanford University.
They now live in New York, where Mezvinsky works at G3 Capital, a Manhattan hedge fund. Clinton completed her master's degree in public health earlier this year at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University.
Mezvinsky is a son of former US Democratic politicians Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky of Pennsylvania and Ed Mezvinsky of Iowa, long-time friends of the Clintons. His parents are divorced.

Uundaa's comment:
Honestly, I don't think Chelsea is beautiful women in my opinion. But she was gorgeous in her wedding ceremony. Maybe all the womens who wear wedding white gowns look more beatiful.
Many years ago, my classmate Orgil was reading Bill Clinton's autobiography. /i don't remember the name, anyway/ Then I wanted to see the context and read forewords. It wrote "For Chelsea, For Hillary, For My Family". So I stared What is Chelsea, is it a club of EPL? Bill is a fan of London Club. I never thought about this. Some years later, when Hillary Clinton candidated the US President from Democracy party, I read his biography from my friend Wikipedia. Then i understand Chelsea is her girl. :D. Clinton completed her master's degree in public health earlier this year at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. And Mezvinsky is young Jewish bank invester who has got a great future in his career, and it also improve since he is in one of the most influenced family in US Clinton, I think.
P.S: I don't like any gossips about someone's marriage or divorce, especially lady like Chelsea. But It was the top story of both Yahoo and Google. Also trending topic №1 in Twitter. So I want to post it in this blog.
Here we have our first article from ESPN Soccernet.com I think if you want to get latest football news not only rumors or gossips, I would recommend you this site, soccernet.com. They have only official news from many kind of sources. We know ESPN's slogan is "Worldwide Leader in Sport" :D.
Wenger: New squad rules 'disastrous' for football
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes the new restrictions on Premier League squads will prove a "disastrous decision for football and for the players''.
From this season, all Premier League sides have to name a first-team squad of no more than 25, of which eight must be so-called 'home-grown' players.
"I am not a big fan of it because it puts, first of all, many players without clubs,'' he said. "Secondly it puts the clubs in a weak position most of the time in the transfer market because when you already have 25 players and you buy another one, you know you have 26 and now have to get rid of one. So when you buy a player, you have to integrate into the transfer how much it will also cost to get rid of a player because you are not sure if you will be capable after of selling the player.
"This is a disastrous decision for football and for the players. I was quite amazed that the union [PFA] accepted that. For the clubs as well it is a very bad decision.''
Wenger rejected the suggestion the new rules would prevent the "stockpiling'' of players by certain teams: "The big clubs will always have 25 top players and you will not stop that by this kind of decision. When the big clubs have already employed a player and he has to go to a smaller club, there are only two solutions. The smaller club has to pay above their own potential or the big club pays an amount of a salary. In either case it's not satisfactory.''
Wenger maintains Arsenal cannot use lack of big-money signings as an "excuse'' should the Gunners fail to land the Premier League title next season. Arsenal, whose challenge faded as they finished third in May, have once again seen their rivals heavily invest during the summer - with Manchester City again bankrolling an incredible spree to the best part of £100 million as they look to blow the title race wide open.
Conversely, Wenger has brought in Morocco striker Marouane Chamakh, a free transfer after his contract with Bordeaux expired and unproven French centre-back Laurent Koscielny, in a reported £10 million deal from Lorient. Wenger, however, insists his young squad have the talent to mount a sustained assault on what could be a first championship since the unbeaten campaign of 2003/2004.
"I am concerned about the focus of my team and the quality of my team, and we will try and do as well as well we can,'' said Wenger, whose side host AC Milan on Saturday and then play Scottish giants Celtic in the Emirates Cup on Sunday. "No matter what happens this season, the money will not be an excuse if we do not achieve our targets. We know the world we live in.
"Do I think we have a team to play at the top? Looking at the players we have, I say yes. It does not go into financial consideration. I judge whether they are good enough in the championship. Have the other clubs more money or less money? It is not important. It is whether the players are better players or lesser players and I think we can compete with the players we have.''
Wenger, though, feels the forthcoming campaign is set to be an "open'' contest.
"I feel there will be more teams fighting for the title,'' he said. "It makes it more interesting and open as well - we have seen the start of that last season as well, all of the top teams lost points against the second part of the Premier League. That trend could even become stronger this year. There are the three who dominated last year, then you have Spurs, Liverpool, Manchester City, Aston Villa - and you also have one team who is a surprise at the start of the season.''

Uundaa's review
Yep I agree with my one of favorite managers around the football business. I think it's not a good idea to limit the players that Premier Leagues have. Football is risky sport, you can injured, you can break your leg or even you can arrest police in case of overnight party :D. So it means you need to have reservation team and many substitutes as possible as you can. Also, Premier League is the most difficult league in the European League. Because, Teams will play 38 regular league games even without winter holiday or phase. Also there are no outsiders, even Bristol City or Hull city can upset over Chelsea or Manutd. /in this situation Serie A or La lige is very different. Levante or Numancia are always the team that fighting not to relegate/ Also they have 2 cup tournament, Carling Cup and FA Cup. Oldest and biggest football cup event, FA CUP is the one of main factor that why i called it so difficult. Professional teams in other leagues play averagely 50 games in one season, but Premier League teams have to play 60 games in one season. But how many players can play full season without any injuries? I think it's no more than 5 in one team. Also right now, according to Wenger's interview, "big clubs" already have 25 players and if they need to bring new player, they have to get rid of one player from their current squad. So it means if you are a manager of EPL and want to bring someone and strenghten your team, before make a transfer, you choose one who don't need and have to find other team to buy him. It means, I think DISASTER. I didn't mention any other new regulations such as home grown players or non-european union player. I will write new article in Mongolian for Csports.mn, Mongolian first fantasy sport website, and expand my explanation why new rule is not a good idea. Oooki, its my first post for new formation, see you soon :D
