According to Sky Sports News, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp ruled out any possible move for Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster. He said,

"If United wanted to loan him, and I don't know if they do, it would be a problem for him to go somewhere and not play.

The juicy stuff continues to flow:

• Chelsea closing in on Aguero move?
  
• That would satisfy JT's desire for fresh blood.
  
• Dzeko looking to go to Milan?
  
• Agent denies Baptista/Pavlyuchenko swap if disappointing disgruntles.
  
• United, Tottenham eyeing Stuttgart talent.

I thought Daniel Levy was the Tottenham Hotspur Chairman? I was mistaken. It now seems that Mr. Pavlyuchenko is the Chairman of the Board.
"I am prepared to accept any decent offer from Russia", said our new Chairman.
Coming back to reality; it looks as though our Cameron Diaz lookalike is so eager to leave us, he's bypassed all forms of control at White Hart Lane. Click to continue reading...

The everlasting debate of us signing a keeper to replace Gomes, raged through the office once again.
I do thank my lucky stars that most of my prestigious colleagues claimed that Gomes is a better keeper than Ben Foster.
I didn't want to name and shame the under writer of yet another pointless office rant, but Pat, who also happens to be my boss, started the "Gomes Out" campaign at the beginning of last season. Click to continue reading...

Over recent days it has been widely documented that Man United goalkeeper Ben Foster may have to leave Old Trafford in order to play for England in next year's World Cup.

Just how serious is this mini-crisis at United?

Manchester United currently sit third in the Barclays Premier League table level on points with Arsenal (who have a game in hand) and 5 points behind league leaders Chelsea. But how much is Sir Alex relishing this most recent International break?

With the international break nearly over, the excitement of the Premier League will be back with us and Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways against Everton at Old Trafford at the weekend.

Following the Chelsea defeat I began thinking about what the best Manchester United eleven actually is?

Well all in all it wasn't a bad result. Though I watched the game alone I had a little liveblogging adventure with Daryl and various commenters. If you missed the game I'll give you a link to some highlights, and my pity (it was a good game). It was also, despite the fact it was a loss, was an encouraging result for England.

Ben Foster was again chosen to play for England this weekend but is disappointed not to get any outings for his club of late.

"It's a weird one," said Foster. "I am third choice for United yet I am playing for my country. It is very disheartening to not even be on the bench at United.

Kaká battles it out

A second-half goal by Nilmar was the difference in a forgettable match between Brazil and England in Qatar on Saturday.

The Villarreal man struck in the first minute of the second period after heading in a lovely floated ball from ex Manchester City player, Elano.

The England squad to play Brazil next Saturday in an International friendly has been announced. The main news for Man United is that Michael Owen has yet again not been included in the squad. This isn't much of a surprise, he hasn't played that much for United, so why would he get into the England squad? Click to continue reading...

Man United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak has taken a swipe at fellow United keeper Edwin Van Der Sar. Kuszczak has said that he goes to United's number one Van Der Sar to ask him for advice but he is only rejected.
If this is true, then I can understand why Kuszczak is frustrated, but is it really the best thing to go to the papers? Click to continue reading...

There are several international friendlies on Saturday, November 14, 2009 while the final 2010 World Cup Final spots are determined. One of the more high profile friendlies is England v Brazil which will be at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. Both nations have qualified for next summer's world cup and are two of the favorites to advance far into the tournament.

No wonder Sir Alex Ferguson admires him so much. Igor Akinfeev may have conceded three goals though none of them was his fault but he had pulled off a number of world-class saves which had frustrated Manchester United.

He is only 23, but he has been first choice 'keeper at CSKA Moscow for six years now, and was just 17 when he broke into the Russian side making him the youngest ever.

Now updated after the Ukraine and Belarus games (and some 'interesting' feedback) below is the squad we think Don Fabio should take to South Africa, with reason for inclusion - and exclusion...

Who should go... Goalkeepers

David James - Has been first choice for a while now, and we are yet to find a better alternative

Rob Green - He is the closest we have to a better alternative.

Reports today suggest that both Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are both doubtful for Saturday's match at home to Blackburn Rovers, presumably meaning we will have to rely on Jonny Evans and Wes Brown to play in the centre of our defence.

Both Vidic and Rio have been criticised for their recent form, particularly in light of the Liverpool game, when Rio was out-muscled and out-run by Fernando Torres, and Vidic was sent off for his third game in the row.

You'll probably see this everywhere, but here it is anyway.

A couple of Barnsley fans decided to waste everyone's time by running onto the pitch during injury time and scoring a goal on Manchester United during Tuesday's Carling Cup fourth round match. United keeper Ben Foster made the mistake of trying to strip the ball from the one fan, which set up an admittedly pretty nice little 1-2 that resulted in his fellow pitch invader scoring off the volley.

Scoring against Manchester United is something many players dream of, but two Barnsley fans invaded the pitch in the Carling Cup match last night against the Red Devil's and got to experience that feeling...

2-0 down and only 3 added on minutes left of the match two of Barnsley's finest pinch the ball off Ben Foster and the fat bald one has a great first touch before volleying home, to the Barnsley fan's initial delight.

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has been under a lot of criticism recently after making several crucial mistakes in front of goal. And now his reputation sunk to a new low Tuesday night after a couple of Barnsley yobs invaded the pitch at Oakwell and scored a goal past him.

Well that was just what the doctor ordered...and then some. Its hard to imagine a more perfect result for Rafa and Liverpool Football Club, obviously having Javier Mascherano sent off late on was not ideal but in many ways him giving his all for the team all the way until the last seconds, hence the late challenge on Edwin Van der Sar, is in many ways a good thing and shows that the Argentine is mentally back on the ball.

In the summer, Arsenal's Andrei Arshavin tipped us off to Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, with Edwin Van der Sar not getting any younger and Ben Foster battling injury.

Ahead of our match against Akinfeev's team, CSKA Moscow, Sir Alex Ferguson was asked whether he was interested in signing the keeper.

Following Manchester United's 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow, Alex Ferguson took time to single out the opposition's goalkeeper; remarking that the 23 Russian shot stopper was ‘outstanding'.

I'm not sure if Ferguson saw something I didn't but over the course of the ninety minutes, it seems staggering that the young goalkeeper deserved such high praise.

Arsenal are fantastic right now. Simply brilliant. Wonderful play. Fast and thrilling, even when they lose. Perfect passing. Crisp finishes. Superb combination play. You get the picture.
