Big Apple Soccer, home of everything New York Soccer, reports speaking to "El Professor"
Juan Carlos Osorio about his move to Once Caldas. His reply?
"The offer is a very good offer," he said. "The club is a very good club. I am considering the
offer. However, I would like to stay in the United States.

Looking good, Guti! We hope your new girlfriend, Paula, appreciates you and your inimitable
fashion sense. We're going to ignore the reality that you're probably about to hork or blow
something gross onto the pitch. Denial ain't just a river, etc.

Liverpool Kop 15 November @ 09:01 AM EST
A few weeks ago I looked at the creative impact of Fernando Torres and Wayne Rooney over the last
two complete seasons. Torres was streets ahead of Rooney in almost every way, but some people (i.e.
Man U fans in denial) argued that it was an unfair comparison as they played in different
positions. Well, since Torres and Rooney are both now playing the striker role, I've taken a look
at the last 10 games to gauge how things are going this season.

Anfield Talk 28 October @ 01:02 PM EST
Contrary to what Sir Red Nose said, the ref was right in not sending off Carragher when he brought
down Owen outside the box. In an article in Tuesday's Guardian a senior, un-named, ref agreed with
Marriner's handling of the matter.
He said: "Ferguson clearly doesn't understand the law about the denial of an obvious goal-scoring
opportunity.

After years in coaching in Spain and now England, it seems Fabio Capello has turned on his
Italian compatriots...or at least is now far enough away to not fear a violent attack from the
ultras. At an seminar organized by the Italian FA about the state of calcio, Capello is quoted as
saying:
"It's the ultras who give the orders in Italy.

Club vs Country row officially just got SILLY! (Hence obligatory use of Mr Silly Image
below)
Belgium have asked Fifa to prevent Marouane Fellaini from playing for Everton this
weekend.
After playing in Belgium's win over Turkey at the weekend, the midfielder has pulled out of
their clash with Estonia on Wednesday because of surgery he needed on his wisdom teeth.

There are some stories we've always assumed we would never write:
"Victoria Beckham laughs giddily, smiles widely during press call."
"Nemanja Vidic admits he is scared of the dark."
Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro failing a drugs test falls into this category.

Blog United 07 October @ 01:01 PM EST
It appears Alex Ferguson has given up hope of Ben Foster becoming United's number one as reports
suggest Julio Cesar is a potential transfer target for the club.
The Brazilian international, aged 30, joined Inter in 2005 and is now regarded as one of the
best goalkeepers in the world. With Van der Sar turning 40 this month it was hoped either Ben
Foster or Tomasz Kuszczak would take the reigns but after failing to impress, it looks like
Ferguson will look elsewhere in an attempt to replace the veteran Dutchman.

... that the Euros were pretty much all there is that's newsworthy in the world, if you limited
yourself to JordanCornblog. It's just that with healthcare denial the apparent top priority of
Congress, and Obama dangerously on the prowl, accosting schoolchildren with his socialist ideas ...
I'm basically too discouraged and/or angry to write about anything other than England's
history-making run on the soccer pitch.

It's the weekend again, so it's time to turn the focus to the action on the pitch, but there's
still a fair share of gossip to report on from the transfer pages.
The current holder of 'The Rumor That Won't Go Away' title is the Joleon Lescott to Manchester
City saga, but another situation that persists involves Chelsea and AC Milan striker
Alexandre Pato.

What a great story found by The Spoiler. Since then I've seen something on SI.com also.
Rumor has it the old Brazilian had a bit of liposuction recently. It made perfect sense to couple
the surgery with the procedure to fix his broken hand.
Of course, the lipo had to remain under-wraps.

Pre-season continued last night with a 5-0 stroll over Slobadomayz Hashpipes. In the evening
gloom Arsenal's new away kit proved difficult to see, what with it being the exact same colour as
shadows, but that didn't stop Nicklas Bendtner continuing his goal crazy pre-season ways with two
goals.
Even better were two goals for Eduardo who got a good hour under his belt.

Red Devils' new striker goes into denial over move New Manchester United signing Mame Biram Diouf
thought his transfer to Old Trafford was a wind-up. The Senegalese young striker will join from
Norwegian outfit Molde in January in a £2 million deal. But the 21-year-old thought the deal was
too good to be true.

Hull City manager Phil Brown has denied that the Yorkshire club are targeting Liverpool striker
Andriy Voronin, as they look to bring in striking reinforcements ahead of the start of the new
Premier League campaign next month.
Brown has missed out on a number of strikers so far this summer, with Frazier Campbell, Michael
Owen, Daryl Murphy and Marc-Antoine Fortune all opting for destinations other than the KC Stadium,
after being targeted by the Tigers' manager.

A week since my last post. Not a lot's happened, that's why, apart from the now default
'Fabregas to leave' rumour (swiftly followed by his denial). Are we going to have more of this?
Seems likely unless he retreats to a monastery and takes a vow of silence.
Some of the more fanciful links see us linked to Benzema (deeply unlikely) and Ribery (source:
The Daily Star so don't go out and get Ribery printed on your new away shirt just yet).
