Let him go David Moyes should takethe money for JoleonLescott. He doesn't wantto be at Everton andMoyes will not want thatnegativity breeding in hisdressing room. It's another example ofplayer power. Heart of the CityThe best result of the weekend was Manchester City's 2-0 victory at Blackburn. It relieves the pressure on them and shows them to have mental strength, as well as a chequebook and big names. A Fab playerPlaying with Alexandre Song and Denilson holding allows Cesc Fabregas to inflict maximum damage at the point of the triangle. In all the previews, nobody mentioned him. He's better than that. Saturday reminded us. Heroes welcomeOne of my heroes was John Barnes and I am delighted to see him back. He has too much to offer to be on the sidelines. Saturday was his first win as Tranmere manager. I hope it's the first of many. Bent's the boyHe might not have been a good fit at Spurs, but Darren Bent will get chances and score goals. A debut goal at Bolton will give him confidence. It's no mean feat to beat Kevin Davies in the air. Off and runningIt took Didier Drogba eight League games to score his first League goal for Chelsea last season. Now he's off and running with two on day one, albeit one a fluke. Watch him go. Crazy for keepersSee how fast this new Nike ball is moving and the power players are getting into their shots. I counted seven goals from long range this weekend. Good news for us, not so good if your job is to try to stop it.
