Harry Redknapp expects Beckham to introduce some class to this Spurs side

David Beckham is set to return to the Premiership after almost seven years. A short term loan move to Spurs is in the works. From the looks of it Harry Redknapp expects him to suit up to play in the FA Cup tie against Charlton Athletic as soon as next weekend.

As we approach the halfway point in the League One season, more or less nothing has yet been decided and with each passing week more questions are being asked of which more or less none are being definitively answered. No matter which we way we choose to interpret this league table, it makes for extraordinary reading.

And now for something completely different. At third (and, later fourth) round stage the FA Cup hardly constitutes fixture congestion, so the question of where it stands in our list of priorities can probably be deferred to another day.

Bingo cards out then, as we look to cross off the names of various squad members last season posing merrily in the club photocall back in August.

Taking one's time over a post can have its downsides. Having begun piecing together an assessment of Charlton Athletic's situation following the announcement on 31 December that a long-awaited takeover had finally been completed, I didn't expect quite yet to have to rip up (figuratively, of course) and start again.

Every January, as the third round of the FA Cup begins in England, the question is never whether there will be upsets, but rather how big they'll be. Saturday's was one of the biggest in recent memory.

Tiny Stevenage, which only became part of the Football League this season, and currently sits 15th in the League Two table, not only out-shot and out-possessed its Premier League opponents, it out-played them.

That was just about as straightforward as could have been hoped, just about every box ticked by 3.30pm. Key personnel rested; squad members got 90 minutes; home-grown youngster made Danny Rose-esque impact on debut (fingers crossed the next few months are a bit brighter for him than for the boy Rose); clean sheet; no injuries; no suspensions; opportunity for Defoe to return to sharpness; etc.

We have mentioned the madness surrounding the current employment of football managers on this site before in recent weeks, but today there was a rare outbreak of common sense as Bournemouth's Eddie Howe decided, after much speculation and tribulation, to stay with the club that gave him his chance in management and turn down the overtures of Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic.

Liverpool starlet Nathan Eccleston is set to join Charlton Athletic on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old striker is down in London to finalize the deal and trained with the Charlton first-team on Wednesday morning.
Eccleston is expected to be available for the Addicks' trip to Sheffield Wednesday as the League One side look to mount a promotion push in the second half of the season.

The January transfer window has received one of its biggest shocks in recent times as Sunderland striker Darren Bent has handed in a written transfer request in order to sanction an £18million move to Aston Villa.

If this had been mooted last summer it wouldn't have seemed that much of a shock.
