David Beckham
Leicester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson and West Ham manager Avram Grant are the two clubs
tipped to sign former Manchester United star David Beckham on loan after England boss Fabio Capello
let slip that the former Three Lions skipper could return to the Premier League.
Beckham could look to seal a mid-season loan deal back to Europe with the Premier League his
likely destination after AC Milan ruled out re-signing the midfielder.

Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has taken a veiled swipe at the current standard of the Premier
League as he ran the rule over the achievements of Carlo Ancelotti in his first season in charge of
Chelsea. The Italian coach saw his Stamford Bridge outfit secure their first Double when they beat
Portsmouth on Saturday at Wembley; a feat that not even the ‘Special One' achieved despite his
considerable success in England.
Portsmouth had been sinking inexorably towards the Championship long before West Ham picked up
the three points against Sunderland on Saturday that relegated the south-coast club. To be demoted
from the Premier League without kicking a ball summed up Portsmouth's season. The club's
well-publicised off-field financial problems all but scuppered their chances of survival before the
season even began.

Wayne Rooney missed a penalty during Manchester United's 1-0 win over Arsenal at Old Trafford on

That guy is sad... He normally looks like this:Ibra brought you the sad story of Eric Frimpong, and the New Year is being quite unkind to
Portsmouth FC as well. The South Coast club once again missed payments to its players and staff
totaling 1.8 million Pounds. The FA has plans in place to funnel TV money directly to English clubs
that Pompey owe money (good news for Tottenham, Chelsea and Watford).
The good news for Avram Grant and Pompey fans, is that the Premier League has lifted the clubs
transfer embargo. The bad news is that they can only sign players on loan or who are available on a
free transfer
Portsmouth has been unable to register new players since October, when the Premier League
imposed the restriction due to the club's unpaid debts on previous transfers.

Portsmouth has another owner, their fourth this season.
The first 3D football match and John Terry axed as England captain, football...bloody hell!
Aside from drooling over the magnificent victory at the Emirates Manchester United must now refocus
their thoughts as attention turns to the visit of the Premier League's bottom side Portsmouth.
Avram Grant is probably on his way to another brothel to take his mind off the thought of the
impending visit to Old Trafford.
As the Portsmouth players put on their uniforms in the Wembley locker room this afternoon, they
were under no allusions about what the future held for them and their team. They were going to be
relegated down to the Championship League after the season. Once there, they were far more likely
to be relegated again this time next year as opposed to being promoted back to the Premiership.

One piece of hardware down. One to go.
Chelsea head to Wembley on Saturday lunchtime with a chance at history. A win over Portsmouth in
the FA Cup Final would seal the club's first-ever domestic Double.
Pompey are quite obviously the sentimental favorites. Managed by a previous employee of the
famous CFC; relegated; financially-stricken.
Portsmouth Football Club may be clouded with controversy, but following this weekend's
hard-fought FA Cup final at Wembley, it's easy to see some positives from this past season. The
club may be heading down to the Coca Cola Championship for next season, but many members involved
with the club this season proved that hard work can go a long way.
West Ham's newly appointed manager Avram Grant has not wasted his time and made Thomas
Hitzlsperger the first signing of the season. The German midfielder exercised his right
under freedom of contract to leave Lazio and join The Hammer for free.

West Ham boss Avram Grant is planning a trio of ambitious Premier League moves to help improve
his Upton Park squad ahead of the new season.
Manchester United could make a move for Raul after the 32-year-old striker admitted he is likely
to leave Real Madrid after 17 years at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid have beaten Manchester City to the signing of Brazil right-back Maicon, the
28-year-old having played for new Real boss Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan last season.
Brentford 0-5 Fulham
Griffin Park became the site of Fulham's destruction of League 1 side Brentford.
The Cottagers didn't take long to put the tie out of the hands of their hosts. A three-nil
score-line at half-time was enough to set the pace for an emphatic five-nil stomping of The
Bees.
West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker is reportedly going to be offerred a new five year deal
worth £20 million. Despite attracting interest from the likes of Aston Villa and Tottenham, the
29-year old has conducted himself professionally the entire summer by focusing on his football at
Upton Park.

Avram's Silver HammersBy.
Sky Sports is reporting that West Ham United has made an official approach for Everton
striker Yakubu. West Ham boss Avram Grant has been hard at work bolstering the Hammers attack, and
in addition to his approach for Yakubu he has already clinched a deal for Ajax striker Miralem
Sulejmani.
After three consecutive league defeats the last thing West Ham players, fans and staff will want
is a clash with in form London rivals Chelsea, but that is the task that they face after the
international break. If they lose this game they will be firmly rooted to the bottom of the table
with the prospect of a relegation battle starring them in the face.
After the international break, Chelsea resume their Premier League campaign at West Ham on Saturday
and its another chance for Chelsea to grab another early three points. With United away in a tricky
game at Everton we simply have to win and I have to say, the way we are playing right now, West
Ham's dismal start to their season and pressure mounting already on Avram Grant, I can only
see a Chelsea win.

Bookmakers Ladbrokes have slashes the odds on Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson to be the next manager to
be sacked, as he now sits at 7/2 third favourite.
The move comes after Hodgson's Liverpool lost at home to Blackpool leaving them in the relegation
zone after a top-flight round of matches for the first time since 19 September 1964, with only West
Ham United's Avram Grant, at 5/2, and Wigan Athletic's Roberto Martinez, at 3/1, only ahead of him.
Avram Grant must love a challenge. Last year he took on the impossible task of trying to keep a
debt-ridden Portsmouth in the Premier League, and this term he has turned his attentions to
ensuring West Ham don't also suffer the embarrassment of relegation.
While it has not exactly been the start that the former Chelsea boss would have hoped for with
the Hammers currently sitting bottom of the league, they are currently on a four game unbeaten run
in the Premier League.
Inspired by the great Joe Posnanski, I wondered how good the current crop of Premier League
managers were as players. Using a very clever system that I shall attempt to sell to Sky
Sports for big money in the future, I carefully assessed the field, then ranked it.

Arms smothered in pinch marks, eyes wider than ever before and jaw, well and truly, on the
floor. This is how most Sunderland fans looked at 6pm on Sunday night as they saw their team pull
off the biggest coup of the season, a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge. Not only had Chelsea not conceded
at home since March, they had not lost by three goals since 2002 and strikes by Onuoha, Gyan and
Welbeck were enough to leave Ray Wilkins sitting in his hilltop castle, rubbing his hands,
muttering 'excellent'.
LONDON, England West Ham produced an inspired display to dump out holders Manchester United 4-0 in
emphatic fashion in their Carling Cup quarter-final at Upton Park. Jonathan Spector grabbed a
first-half brace to stun his former side with the only goals of his entire career in English
football as United were punished for some [.
Former Manchester United and England defender Viv Anderson has launched a scathing attack on
Manchester United's current youth players, questioning whether or not they're up to United
standard. Anderson witnessed Sir Alex Ferguson's latest batch of youngsters crash out of the
Carling Cup quarterfinals, and Avram Grant's West Ham side thoroughly taught young Red Devils such
as Bebe and Federico Macheda a lesson amidst the snowy weather at Upton Park.
Some midfielders are born to play the position. Barcelona and Spain's Ballon D'or winner Xavi comes
to mind. There's plenty to say about a player like Xavi, who was seemingly handed the keys to the
middle of the pitch at birth. But that's not a topic for me to tackle, not today anyway. No, today
we're going to look at a player who took a decidedly more circuitous route to the middle of the
park.

West Ham striker Carlton Cole sees the funny side as he tumbles into snow on the sidelines at
Ewood Park.
The Irons drew 1-1 at managerless Blackburn Rovers in one of the few matches in England that was
not a victim of the cold weather.
If the Premier League was to be decided by home form alone, we would be looking at Liverpool having
a serious shot at the title. But of course, things don't work that way.
The Reds have been very strong at home, losing only one of their eight games to date at Anfield.
This should give manager Roy Hodgson a lot of confidence ahead of this encounter, as he is
currently under pressure.
In the interest of starting out your new year with damaging mental images, we would like you to
know that this anonymous Premier League manager with the penchant for banging Thai prostitutes just
might be Lizard Man himself, Avram Grant. Yeah, I know, lunch tasted a lot better going down than
it did coming back up.
According to Jordan Cross at The News, Portsmouth boss Avram
Grant is confident in keeping Tottenham midfielder Jamie
O'Hara, whose current loan deal ends on the 15th of January. Grant said,
