Today's top transfer rumours: The biggest transfer gossip in the English press is the alleged
interest of Arsenal in AC Milan youngster Yoann Gourcuff. The Daily Telegraph has reported that
Arsene Wenger is keen on having a second bite at the French cherry after missing out on the French
starlet in 2006 when he moved to [.
As the temperatures cool down and the new year rapidly approaches, the transfer gossip is heating
up with rumours flying thick and fast. Manchester City are looking to improve their squad to aid
their push for a place in Europe, and their prime target is Mexican striker Nery Castillo,
currently out of favor at Ukrainian side [.
I remain a slave to tradition. Every year, I make a complete fool of myself at the office Christmas
party, and this year was no exception. After consuming a few too many ales, I made a misguided play
for the cleaner under the mistletoe. He was absolutely livid. My luck is unlikely to [...]
For the last six or seven seasons, Arsenal have been the most entertaining side in the English
Premier League but on more than one occasion their effectiveness has failed their flair. But things
have imbibed a different hue this season and as the English Premier League 2007-2008 crawls into
Week 16, it is Arsene Wenger's [.
I'm all for good-natured banter at a football match, but supporters are beginning to overstep the
line. Harry Redknapp commands respect from all the major players in the game, such as Frank Lampard
and Jamie Redknapp, yet the colourful manager endured a torrent of vitriolic abuse when Portsmouth
travelled to Aston Villa.
The wife and I are similar in many ways, but we disagree on the most prudent way to discipline
children. Betty is from the old-school, and believes a small slap is perfectly acceptable. I take
the opposite view, and prefer the use of a knuckle-duster. Such actions would not be necessary if
it wasn't [.
Grand Slam Sunday headlined Week 17 of the English Premier League season, with Manchester United
edging Liverpool at Anfield, and Arsenal poking past Chelsea to remain on top of the league table.
But, that wasn't the only action worth watching this past weekend, as there were eight fixtures on
Saturday that preceded Sunday's top-of-the-table [.
Alhassan "Al" Bangura - the Watford midfielder and Sierra Leone native - was granted the
opportunity to qualify for a work permit, which effectively has kept him from being sent back to
Sierra Leone for the time being. If it was a 'regular' work permit hearing, Bangura would still be
packing his bags, but apparently the [.
Birmingham City defender Radhi Jaïdi may well have torched his career with the club after he
announced that he has had a change of heart and will swan off to the African Cup of Nations to
represent his native Tunisia. And Jaïdi, 32, is realistic enough to admit that he may well have a
[...]
It seems that they are destined for each other, rather to play against each other. The draw for the
English FA Cup was made on Sunday and an almost inevitable pairing was announced. Manchester United
and Aston Villa have locked horns in the FA Cup three times in the last six seasons and they will

When will Arsenal's bubble burst? They have been asking this for quite some time and the answer
still remains buried in the mist. And it will at least till the next round of matches in the
English Premier League rush upon us. For the moment the scintillating Arsenal side conjured up by
the wily old [.
Newcastle followed up their creditable performance against Arsenal with a heartening 2-1 against
Birmingham City to ease their Premier League woes, and give manager Sam Allardyce some much needed
breathing space.
They made it hard for themselves with a gift opener to Cameraon Jerome after only nine minutes.
Watch Birmingham live online In the least surprising event of the week so far, Brum chairman
David Gold and co-owner David Sullivan have called time on Carson Yeung's doomed takeover attempts.
Gold said: "We have been making contingency plans that the takeover would fail for several weeks
and myself and David Sullivan have been running the club on that [.
Roy Hodgson will watch his team Fulham from the sidelines as they travel to St. Andrews to take on
the host Birmingham. In a move apparently inspired by the owner's desire to bring attacking
football back to Craven Cottage, Roy Hodgson was hired to drag Fulham out of the relegation zone.
I'm not exactly sure how attacking football will come from a man known more for a dreary
personality than anything on the pitch outside of international football since 1997.
