New York Cosmos logo

The New York Cosmos are back! The legendary name had been more or less in mothballs for years under the control of G. Peppe Pinton, long rumoured to have been asking for extravagant payment for the trademark. And given what a circus the team was at times (even if this wasn't always a bad thing), it's perhaps appropriate (if rather sad) that the trademark of the team has been purchased and will apparently be used for a reborn Cosmos as "a traveling array of all-stars, playing matches around the world.

You're fired! All this business advice from Xabi Alonso got us thinking... we have never seen the Liverpool midfielder and Alan Sugar in the same room. The wispy facial hair, the furrowed brow, and now the pointy finger. It all adds up. While we are vaguely on the subject, if you haven't yet watched Cassetteboy's remix of [.

The Premier League is arguably the greatest league in the world today, with the ability to attract the best players from the continent.

But which transfers stand out as the most important signings with regards to their value for money and the success they have brought to the club.

10: Peter Schmeichel

Brondby to Man Utd, £500,000

The season is barely over but already another Middle Eastern owner has bought a Premier League club. This time it is Pompey who are now controlled by the ‘Alan Sugar of the Middle East', Sulaiman Al Fahim.
Al Fahim, as a celebrity in his home country, appears to relish the spotlight. We first saw him last summer when Man City were taken over and he has obviously decided he wanted a piece of the action after seeing City roar to a mid-table finish this season. Click to continue reading...

Aston Martin is releasing a new car. A really, really sexy new car. So sexy it'll cost a million pounds, meaning it will become the world's most expensive car, beating out the Bugatti Veyron, and being made exclusively for the super rich. Unfortunately only the uber rich can afford to fill it up with petrol [. Click to continue reading...

Apparently only 77 were made. Here's the story:

Here are the odds: 9-4 Beckham, 3-1 Jay Kay, 7-2 Roman Abramovich, 5-1 Cristiano Ronaldo, 12-1 Alan Sugar, 14-1 Daniel Craig, 16-1 Jeremy Clarkson.

I only know half these people. Jay Kay? Alan Sugar? Jeremy Clarkson?
I vote for Jay Leno. Click to continue reading...

Some nuts think the world will be no more in 2012 (hopefully after the Olympics is over), but for English football's traditions the end is nigh once more after Tuesday.
The shock-horror arrival of Arab billions at Manchester City, followed by their first trophy, Robinho, was mirrored by two old-style English managers, Alan Curbishley and Kevin Keegan, exiting stage left. Click to continue reading...

Reports claim that United have reached a verbal agreement with Tottenham over the sale of Dimitar Berbatov. The theory goes that once Spurs land their new Russian striker they will allow the Bulgarian to join the Champions.
It is somewhat ironic that Fergie looks set to acquire his number one target on the very weekend that United are set to face Zenit St Petersburg in the European Super Cup Final in of all places Monte Carlo, where fortunes are often gambled and lost on the turn of the Roulette wheel.

The money going round in the Premier League is now so dizzying, it's almost impossible to comprehend. In the 1980s and 1990s, when a very rich man such as Rupert Murdoch, Alan Sugar or Robert Maxwell decided they wanted to be involved in football, there was an almighty fuss. Each of them had vastly different [...] Click to continue reading...
