According to the Daily Mirror and Mail among others, Manchester City's Micah Richards has been
moved to delete his @officialMR2 Twitter account and asked police to investigate after receiving
torrents of racist abuse from a 'small but depressing minority of people' over the past few
months.
This post originally appeared on our Arsenal blog, but I thought it was worth covering here.
There are some mind blowing quotes from Arsene Wenger in Tuesday's Daily Mirror.
Arsene Wenger is quoted as talking about how much he likes Lille's £30m-rated Eden Hazard, but
he basically says that Hazard is too expensive for Arsenal.
The Daily Mirror is reporting that England manager Fabio Capello is said to be furious over the
sacking today of his captain John Terry.
According to the report Capello fought for Terry to remain as England captain until the bitter
end and only accepted the FA's decision with extreme reluctance.
When Atletico Madrid sold Sergio Aguero to England's Manchester City during the summer, there
was all sorts of rumors that Aguero really wanted to move to city rivals Real, but that Atletico
refused to sell him to their bitter rivals.
There were also rumors at the time that Aguero was only heading to Manchester for a season and
that in 2012 he would be heading back to the Madrid, this time to play for the the white side of
the capital.
It has been a busy and confusing few days for Union fans. Kerith Gabriel has an updated story on
the Faryd Mondragon, Seba Le Toux and Roger Torres. So with the latest information, here is a quick
rundown of where we are at:
Sebastien Le Toux rumors (Rumors = no confirmed sources)
- The Union's all-time leader in goals, assists, minutes played, and hilarious goal dances will
not be moving to England's Bolton Wanderers.
The Daily Mirror and other papers are reporting that Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye could face
a three match ban. Yohan Cabaye - in collision with El-Abd Brighton defender Adam El-Abd was left
with a slightly cut lip ( with the emphasis on slightly), after the second-half collision the
two had down the right wing.
According to the Daily Mirror on Sunday, Manchester City have rejected an offer from Liverpool
to swap Carlos Tevez for Andy Carroll.
According to the exclusive in the newspaper, Liverpool approached Man City's Football
Administration Officer Brian Marwood with the offer 48 hours ago, just hours after beating the
Blues in the Carling Cup semi-final.
Newcastle have made an improved offer for Watford center-back Adrian Mariappa. Adrian Mariappa
third bid in the last one? That's according to the Daily Mirror today, and if true that would be
Newcastle's third offer for the 25 year-old. Newcastle were said to have bid around £2M earlier
in the week after their initial offer of £750K for [.
Arsene Wenger has made it clear that he is strongly opposed to loan deals such as Emmanuel
Adebayor's spell with Tottenham Hotspur.
Adebayor has been in fine form this season, scoring nine goals in 19 games for the Spurs after
parent club Manchester City chose to loan him out at the beginning of the season.
There's a report in the Daily Mirror that Newcastle are after Dutch international winger Eljero
Elia on loan. Dutch International winger Eljero Elia The 26 times capped Dutch International
only joined Juventus from Hamburg last summer, but has only played three times for the Italian
club. Italy doesn't seem to have suited the winger too much, and we suppose Newcastle [.
Some amazing PSP original work from the past few days: Earl Gardner's sweet photo essay from the
SOB Help Kick Hunger event, info on the MLS All-Star game, Ed's fantastic piece on the last
All-Star game in Philly, Dan's take on the possibility of selling Le Toux, and Eli's examination
of the U's post-Seba strike force.
Pepe Reina feels Liverpool are three years away from challenging for the title, with the keeper
claiming they are paying the price for a lack of invention.
The Reds have spent huge sums in the past 12 months in a bid to make up ground on the likes of
Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea.
There is a report in the Daily Mirror that Newcastle's opening bid for Watford center-back,
25 year-old Adrian Mariappa, was £750K. Adrian Miappa first bid was £750K That was the first
offer, and the reports suggest that a later bid was made and was anywhere from £2M to £3M, but
it's more likely to be around £2M and that [.
It looks like it could be a race between Sebastien Bassong and Giovani Dos Santos to be the
first through the White Hart Lane exit door this month with our defender being the first dissenting
voice of this transfer window.
Bassong could have gone to Bolton as part of a Gary Cahill deal in the summer but a more likely
destination could be QPR, who have been linked with most of the fringe defenders in the
Premiership.
I had high hopes for Marouane Chamakh when he joined Arsenal back in 2010, however, he has
failed to live up to his billing and a move away from the Emirates does not look forth coming any
time soon.
I thought Chelsea striker Fernando Torres was struggling until i had a look at Chamakh's
stats.

Bolton manager Owen Coyle confirms Sebastien Le Toux is trialing with the Premiership club. "We
have received good reports about Sebastian, so we thought we would give him an opportunity to come
into the group," Coyle told the Daily Mirror. "He will train with us for a week and we will see
where we are after that.
We've seen the rumours linking Jermain Defoe with a move away from Spurs before but while the
stories surrounding a move to Arsenal in the summer seemed unlikely, could today's Liverpool link
be more plausible?
The story seems to have broken in The Daily Mirror and may just have come from adding up a
sequence of possible events: JD has a new agent with supposed ties to Liverpool who in turn might
be looking to offload Andy Carroll while needing to cover the loss of Luis Suarez.
Liverpool is on the verge of signing a new striker, according to legendary goalkeeper Bruce
Grobbelaar.
Liverpool struggled to hit the net again this weekend with a 0-0 draw at home to Stoke and have
scored just eight goals in their last nine Premier League games. With Luis Suarez suspended for
eight games, strikers Dirk Kuyt and Andy Carroll have come under pressure to perform but Carroll
has only scored twice this season, while Kuyt has yet to break his drought.

The latest L'Uomo Vogue has Mario Balotelli featured on the cover and a candid and revealing
interview with the City star that doesn't quite give the lie to a grumpy, immature, prankster. Yes,
he did total his £100,000 Audi the next day, set off firecrackers in his bathroom causing major
damage, got into a training ground spat with Micah Richards, and earned Mancini's disapproval
smoking cigarettes.

Liverpool FC has today banned journalists from the Daily Mirror from Anfield after it ran a
negative story on Luis Suarez using the headline 'RACIST'.As I argued earlier today, the FA did NOT
convict Suarez of being racist; they did not even argue that he used a word relating to Patrice
Evra's race.

Luis Suárez's racism ban: media reaction
There was little sympathy for the Liverpool striker after his eight-match ban, with the club and
manager facing criticism too The media's reaction to Luis Suárez's eight-match ban and £40,000
fine for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra has been frenetic and largely
unsympathetic towards the Liverpool striker.
Suarez: Anfield fans make the case for the defence
Angry Liverpool fans have contacted us in their droves today to protest against the FA's
eight-game ban for Luiz Suarez, and the reporting of it on MirrorFootball and in the Daily Mirror.

football writer Martin Lipton made of the affair by clicking the links below.
