British football gossip

So Sven's been offered the job, but City's supposed new owner has just, apparently, been charged with corruption...

Spurs win a major trophy!

Yeah, nice to end the season on a high like that, though I hear that Jermain Defoe struggled with his shooting a little...

Thierry Henry is leaving Arsenal for Barcelona !!!

Story Here

Well, it was either going to be this closed season or next. To be honest I'm not surprised. I think we should have cashed in last year for 50 mill instead of the 16 mill we're getting this year. Oh well *sigh*

I predict Wenger will be manager of Barcelona within 12 months.

He'll see out his contract an then go. I have resigned myself to that...

Hahahahahahaahaahahaha.

That is all.

I was right!

Didn't think he'd be interested in managing in the lower leagues, but that's certainly where he'll be managing come May 2008.

Now, now Jimbo, ya bad boy.

Sven taking over was my first prediction, this was my second. Which I also hope comes true.


Odds on City at the moment -

FA Cup - 70/1
Leage Cup - 40/1

I am sure they will go for the UI Cup next year

I guess its a good job the season is over. Otherwise the game at Sheff Wednesday may have been called off because of a spot of water on the pitch.

Who left the flood lights on?

They'll have to bring on the subs

And we are now DEEP into injury time and the Sheffield Wednesday are sending WAVE after WAVE of attacking play Cmon you Owls!

Real Madrid sack manager Capello

Sven-Gormless Eriksson has probably shat himself and is screamin' to sign some light blue paperwork.

Quote of the week...

"It feels like the decision Thierry Henry has had to make regarding going to Barcelona." - Paul Ince, on leaving Macclesfield to manage MK Dons.

There is talk of Real Madrid replacing Capello with Bernd Schuster the Getafe Manager but can anybody see Schuster doing anything! I think Benitez would be a better option he is a European Cup specialist but not league one though!

Do you think there's any chance at all that Sven may not go to City and go to Real instead? Please?

Who knows? he might just being using City as a bargaining chip but then again Paul Ince might be doing the same thing as well! It gonna the be the Paul Ince Gary Owen Dream Team with their names being chanted by the Colin Bell end every other week!

Rafa Benítez has already turned them down.

You are aware that he did win La Liga twice in three years with Valencia, aren't you?

And Bent's off to Tottingham

Bargin!!!

No I forgot he won the League twice with Valencia but he lost the European Cup twice in a row as well with Valencia. If Real Madrid want to win La Liga then and get them to European Cup Final then he would be the perfect man. And let's be honest he no closer to winning the prem now than when he first started with Liverpool!

Everton in for Alan Smith.

I'm sure Everton fans will be delighted with this news, NOT ! Another badge kisser.

No he didn't. That was Héctor Cúper.


Maybe, but as I explained above, he has already told them he's not interested.

LFC are a much better side now than when he took over, btw. Agree that we haven't looked like winning the league since he's been in charge but in 2006 we had a record points total since football was invented the Premiership began in 1992.

Geremi to the Toon

Garcia to Athletico Madrid

Scouse bassas rob us of Torres

I'm sorry to see Luis go - although I'll bet Chelsea are glad to see the back of him - he had a knack of scoring in important games.

Slightly apprehensive about the massive sum being spent on Torres as well. He is an exciting talent with a lot of experience for someone so young but the pressure will be on him to deliver and he has never been a prolific goalscorer. Still, it's proof that the new owners are prepared to back up their rhetoric with cash.

Blades lose appeal. Yawn, what a surprise, etc.

I know what you mean about badge kissers. I hate that. Although, you'd have to agree that Smith does give everything when he plays for a team. No question on commitment.

From BBC. Looks like a return to a few years ago and a massive squad.

Ooo! Hello: Man Utd close in on striker Tevez

Well he already has the looks to settle well into Manchester.

I watched a few clips of him on Youtube the other day and he looks ucking fawesome. I don't understand how it took him so long to score for West Ham.

Bloody great. Lets just sell every good player we ever get onto Chelsea or ManU.

I don't think West Ham will turn down 20+M if its offered. How much did they pay for him?

After the shit me old man gave me when we got Ince, this could end up as a family war.

12m for Tevez and Mascerano.

Yup, it's gonna happen.

Guess i owe Lions a beer.

My commiseration's bluedave. Beckham should be your new captain for the 2008/9 season.

Oh, look! His daft wee blue glasses match your strip. Surely it was meant to be!

Sad news for Leeds fans.

Leeds may not start the new season.

Hate Leeds but it is a bit sad how bad it's got now.

Hi Blue Ste please feel free to share with us your statement and what you mean by it?

New ManU shirt out soon! One at a time please

And Sven's got the cheqe book out already, 8.8 million of your earth pounds for Rolando Bianchi.

Who?

So, West Ham warned they face further disciplinary action over Tevez.

It seems that West Ham still do not own Tevez' contract, does that not mean that Sheff Utd are right and the Hammers should, in fact, be relegated as they lied when they said they had sorted it?

There's a persistant rumour going around that the PFA are distributing Sven Gormless Eriksson's number...

...and providing training on how to use the Call Blocking service.
