'Tis the season for players to head to Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Last week the MLS Draft
Combine list was released but this morning news from Sweden reports that one college star will not
be going the MLS route and instead will be headed to Sweden.
I am bemused by some fans who in their anger call for Wenger to have played a stronger team,
would you have wanted Cesc to have played? And if he got a similar injury to RVP would you have
thought that it was worth it? No, you wouldn't, you would have been calling for Wenger's head.
If Drogba had got had got a similar injury to RVP from playing last night the chavs would have
almost certainly have forfeited their chances of winning the CL.
While there was to be no replay and no 33rd team, FIFA's announcement of top seeds in the World Cup
draw suggests France will receive some punishment for Thierry Henry's indiscretion against
Ireland.
Despite both sitting in the world's top ten, neither France nor Portugal will be seeded for the
draw, instead going into the European based pot four, with England the chief beneficiaries in pot
one.
Hey, Antonio Cassano has two balls, everybody. And he is NOT afraid of you. Apparently he wants
you to know that. From Sky Sport 24 via Goal:
During training on Tuesday, a supporter began to argue with the Italian star and Cassano
reportedly responded with anger, claiming "I have two balls, I am not afraid of you," accompanied
with inappropriate gestures towards the fan.

Which Arsenal player winds you up the most?
After the Sunday Big win, Arsene Wenger gave a standing ovation to the whole team for their
outstanding performance in the second-half.
Every Arsenal fans witnessed the poor display of the team in the first-half. Astray passing,
flapping keeper, bad defending, and poor attacking. With this performance, the manager showed the
team the "Other" side of him during half-time.
I have always prided myself on being almost the antithesis of a red-tinted United supporter; one
who constantly replaces gloating ignorance fuelled by the success of the past with genuine realism
and understanding of the current game.
I will always maintain a respect for our past achievements and the clubs stature, but this will
never – and should never – interfere with my perspective or analysis at our current state.
Wanderers supporters do not like losing two-goal leads against Hull The love affair between Bolton
Wanderers fans and Gary Megson has always been rocky at the best of times. His appointment was met
with widespread indifference/anger and Megson has been fighting an uphill battle for their
affections ever since.
