The transfer window continues. Without much football, the tabloids turn to transfer sagas to fill their pages resulting in the average football fan suffering for months on end as the same dull story that probably isn’t true anyway is rehashed again and again and again. Here are five annoying transfer sagas rehashed for you once more…
Mark Hughes walked out on Fulham this week only to find that Aston Villa, as a result of the behaviour of Hughes and his agent Kia Joorabchian, didn’t want him after all. Here’s an exclusive diary extract from the man himself.
Dear Mr. Abramovich
I have seen that Chelsea FC are advertising for a first team manager, and would very much like to be considered for the role.
The final day of the January transfer window is rarely a placid affair. Yesterday, though, rewrote the rulebook on deadline day madness, beginning breathlessly and descending almost into the realms of make-believe. That was just the stuff that wasn’t made up.
Aside from learning that the English media is more in love with Jose Mourinho than ever, Chelsea’s defeat to Inter taught us a great deal about the respective progress of both clubs. In the second half, as Inter not only held Chelsea at bay but began controlling the game, it felt like a defining moment in both clubs recent history and also in the respective standings of Serie A and the Premier League.
That was quite a day in the Premier League. Upsets, dives, non-dives, a spectacular long punt downfield, Sir Alex unhappy with a referee, this weekend had it all.
This season the Premier League will likely be won by the team that can best cope without key players. Will that team be Manchester United?
Newcastle United have decided to sell the naming rights to St. James’ Park. But fans’ sense of history and tradition surrounding their club includes the name of the temple at which they worship.
