EA President Peter Moore became the bearer of bad news when he stopped in the hallway late in the day to share the score of the Chelsea-Derby County game with Derby owner Andy Appleby.

"Tough break," Moore said, holding up six fingers.

"What do you mean?" asked Appleby, chairman and CEO of General Sports and Entertainment.

"Six," Moore said, referring to Derby’s loss. "Six to one."

"Not good," said Appleby, whose watched Derby’s slow march toward relegation from the English Premier League.

He called after Moore, "Man. U Saturday."

Moore, a native Liverpudlian, made a sports bar his first stop yesterday after landing in Southern California from the Bay Area. He had to watch his beloved Liverpool topple Inter Milan in the Champions League.
