Auteur d’une saison largement meilleure que ces dernières années, Manchester City est en passe de retrouver la coupe d’Europe. Les hommes de Sven Goran Eriksson trônent pourtant à une modeste 9e place au classement mais ils pourraient bénéficier du très bon comportement des clubs anglais pour obtenir un billet pour la coupe de l’UEFA grâce au classement du fair-play. Explication.
Les formations anglaises sont en effet au sommet du classement du fair-play européen mis en place par l’UEFA. Le championnat le plus discipliné est récompensé et obtient une place pour la coupe de l’UEFA par le biais du classement du fair-play. Manchester City, qui occupe la 5e place de ce classement en Angleterre, se verra donc attribuer ce précieux sésame, car les équipes qui le devancent sont toutes déjà qualifiées pour les compétitions européennes la saison prochaine (Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool). À condition, évidemment, que les Citizens se tiennent à carreau face à Newcastle ce dimanche.

Music is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on September 18, 2000 by Maverick Records. The RIAA certified it Gold, Platinum & 2x platinum on Oct 25, 2000 & 3x platinum on Nov 21, 2005, denoting 3 million shipments throughout the United States – making it her eighth best-selling recording there. Worldwide, the album has sold at least 11 million copies.[1]. A two disc Special Edition was released in June 2001 to promote the Drowned World Tour containing an additional CD of remixes and the video to the song “What It Feels Like for a Girl”.
History
Before the album was released, Madonna recorded a statement to her fans:
“Hey Mr. DJ, put a record on…Hi, it’s Madonna. You’ve probably been hearing about my new record “Music” for a while. Well, I just wanted to make sure you knew that the single is gonna drop very soon. I worked on it with a French guy named Mirwais, and he is the shit. The album will be released worldwide on September 19, and I hope you like my music.”
The album featured mostly upbeat and up tempo songs which further developed Madonna’s move toward European dance music but still retains a rocky, American edge. To achieve a more European dance style of music Madonna collaborated with French electronica wizard Mirwais. According to Madonna, they both had some problems with understanding each other in the studio at first since Mirwais did not speak any English and Madonna almost no French. Again, like on Ray of Light, Madonna collaborated with William Orbit, with whom she co-wrote and produced three songs that made it onto the final cut of the album. The album was Madonna’s first album not to have been totally recorded in the USA, it instead was mostly recorded at Sarm West and East Studios in London, England. (more…)
