Did you know that the name Joey Barton is an anagram of the word "Wanker"? I know, it took me a while to figure it out as well. Anyway, I think its fair to say that I have long considered that this odius character should have been banished from the footballing world and his latest actions have done nothing to alter my opinion.

With the season just under two months away, Tottenham stars have been looking ahead and after the Premiership fixtures were released last week, the countdown to 2011-12 has truly begun.

Spurs could hardly have given a more testing start with games against both Manchester clubs appearing in the first three weeks of the campaign.

The countdown is on until Saturday epic battle between Manchester United and Barcelona in the Champions League Final. While Barcelona formation appears to be set, Manchester United's formation appears to be up for debate. Will United play two up front, will Giggs make the starting 11. So here is what I would do if I was Sir Alex
Van de Sar
Rafeal Vidic Rio Evra
Valencia Carrick Fletcher  Park
Rooney
Hernandez
By going with this formation, Carrick and Fletcher could be supported in the middle by Park Ji Sung if its need and Rooney could then move out the wing.

The countdown continues, four days remain in the regular season. Of interest this evening, I'll be watching for the result from Jefferson City between Helias and Rolla. Rolla is seeded #2 in District 10 behind Camdenton who beat Helias 3-1 yesterday. The Willard vs Neosho game is a District 12 match up, the only District we are waiting to hear from regarding seeding.
