Frog Embryos Actively Seek Oxygen (LiveScience.com)

Uefa Cup: Manchester City 3-2 FC Twente

Steve McClaren insists he is "not in rehab" but, almost a year after his professional nadir, the former England manager has rather cleverly reinvented himself as an attack-minded continental coach.True, FC Twente lost on a night when the increasingly influential Robinho scored a goal sufficiently exquisite to reassure Manchester City's owners that £32.5m of Abu Dhabi's wealth had been well spent, but they might easily have snatched a draw. Yet if McClaren's team deserve credit for their part in an engrossing evening, Mark Hughes currently appears incapable of imbuing City with any sort of defensive resilience...
