Normally this game is a title decider between China's two preeminent domestic footballing powers. But on a hot October afternoon both teams were just playing for pride after Shandong Luneng steamrollered their way to their second-ever CSL title at the end of August.

Shanghaiist took a ride on the city’s brand new metro Line 4 the other day. Whilst it isn’t the major expansion to the current metro network we are all waiting for (especially seeing the entire line is yet to open), it might make getting across the city a little bit easier, depending on where you live. The line offers a new crossing between Puxi and Pudong, under the Huangpu River, between the Yangpu Bridge and the International Ferry Terminal, and when it is fully complete it will form a ring around the city centre and another crossing between Pudong and Puxi, near the Nanpu Bridge. The section between Lan Cun Lu in Pudong and Da Mu Qiao Lu in Puxi, remains closed for now, after a tunnel collapsed during construction in 2003. As always, information on when the line will be completed is scant.

Shanghai Daily tells us that all 17 stops on the new Metro Line 4 will be equipped with "passenger safety screens." And that made Shangahaiist say, What the hell is Metro Line 4? The Shanghai Daily story doesn't tell us where Metro Line 4 is, only that it "goes into operation at the end of this year" -- and anyone who follows announcements concerning the Shanghai metro system knows that "the end of this year" usually means "the end of next year."
