Some Manchester United news for those of you who are a) United fans b) fantasy footie managers with
United ownership or c) former Wall Street employees without jobs due to the economic meltdown.
- The American insurance firm AIG has decided to end its sponsorship deal with Manchester
United.
Why waste 10M (Arshavin) on a brilliant midfielder classified as a striker when you can spend just
6.6M (Walcott) for one? Will the cheap Amr Zaki return to Wigan's starting lineup and get in on the
goals? Will the even cheaper Nicklas Bendtner put two in the back of the net to send down Boro?
A week of major fantasy question marks due to injuries, rest and rotation news is upon us.
According to reports, Liverpool defender Daniel Agger is set for a move to AC Milan. The Danish
stud has made just nine appearances for Liverpool this campaign.
If the transfer goes through (and this looks more and more likely judging by my first-hand
translation of Danish media reports), Liverpool fans will surely question the mid-season move to
leave them with only three top class central defenders.
Mid-priced fantasy footie bargain striker Djibril Cisse was arrested early this morning after
attacking a woman outside of a strip club. The striker was arrested for assault, questioned, and
bailed pending further inquiries.
The on loan striker - who already has claim to fame as possessing one of the weakest tibias in
human anatomy history - was uncertain about his future with Sunderland despite hitting for 9
Premier League goals this term.
Flying back to LAX yesterday, I had a layover in Chicago. I got off the plane and walked into the
United Airlines terminal - and was immediately surrounded by hundreds of travelers wearing those
goofy respiratory masks. I mean, hundreds. Women and men, young and old, all pretending to be

Before we jump into our weekend preview and look at (I) the best match (II) the most fantasy footie
friendly encounter (III) a prediction of Premier League stud and dud performers and (IV) a weekly
best eleven, I want to make a quick mathematical point about this dreaded fantasy footie
gameweek.
Most of you are very knowledgeable fantasy Premier League managers, so you don't need me to preach
to you the importance of limiting the number of - 4 point hits you take during the course of a
fantasy season.
Pompey picked up some Saudi Oil money today as Saudi tycoon Ali al-Faraj bought 90% of the
financially stricken club from Sulaiman al-Fahim.

Jozy Altidore Highlight Reel from The Offside Rules on Vimeo.
Just a summer transfer rumor for you to consume alongside your Confederations Cup consumption this
week - Fulham are considering bringing in US striker Jozy Altidore on loan.
