David Beckham's reent ejection from a youth soccer game has been receiving a lot of attention in the press. To hear Becks describe it, he quite rightly protested a referee ejecting a 7-year old from a youth soccer game and the ref kicked him out of the park as a result.

Eager to minimise the potential damage caused to England's Euro 2012 campaign by the loss of Wayne Rooney, The FA have put together a dossier of mitigation to be sent to UEFA.

The FA bigwigs are hoping that Europe's football governing body will give their star striker a minimum one-match ban after the United hot-head booted Miodrag Dzudovic in the leg last week, and not dish out a two or even three match punishment.

Tottenham Hotspur desperately need a player like Emmanuel Adebayor. His strength, pace and goalscoring ability on the ground and in the air will if all goes smoothly become the long sought after focal point for our attacking play. No one who was at the Lane to witness his exquisite volley in the 3-1 defeat by our neighbours will need to be convinced it's seared in my brain, probably forever, which can't be said for many of the goals we've scored since then.

Hello and happy Monday to you all.

Amazingly the Mugsmashers did us a big favour yesterday by beating United, meaning the disappointment of not beating Sunderland is offset a bit by the fact we've made a net gain in terms of points. Of course you can choose to be even more disappointed that by not beating them we're not even closer to United but there you go.

Funny how time passes sometimes... Had Lyon's calendar been different, the resounding win last weekend against their worst enemy, Saint-Etienne (1-4), would have lifted the club for weeks; but due to the incoming hurdle in CL next week (who said wall ?), this win was quickly set aside to concentrate on José's Jazz Band coming to Lyon.
