EPL Talk 07 November @ 04:43 PM EST
Following up from an earlier article I'd like to pose a question to all the non ex-pat North
American readers of EPL Talk: How Did You Find Who You Support?
It's ultimately a broad question that has more potential answers to it than current injury
concerns at Liverpool. But I believe the question sparks an interesting debate as Americans are
still searching for their place in world football.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) kindly announced today that they would grant Chelsea's
request for a stay in the club's transfer ban, meaning Chelsea will now be free to flash the cash
in January. Of course their final judgement over the club's alleged wrong-doing over the signing of
Gael Kakuta is still to come, but in the short-term Chelsea will be able to strengthen the squad if
Ancelotti feels reinforcements are needed.

The Journal today published an article with quotes attributed to none other than our favorite
cockney geezer, Derek Llambias.
With most sane Newcastle fans venting fury at the clubs efforts to sell naming rights to St.

I have wanted to write a piece about Stan Kroenke for a while now, about a year ago I
wrote a story about the ownership of Arsenal just after Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith left the
board.
_____________________________________________________________________
Early on Saturday morning I was listening to the World Football Phone In on BBC Five Live and
their correspondent for North America was asked about Stan Kroenke what he is like as a guy, what
his intentions may be in the future and what we would want to get out of a club like Arsenal.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Spanish football is the way in which the different sets of
supporters around the country react to defeat.
It's becoming better known nowadays that Spain is really a loose collective of chalks and cheeses,
where you can cross a regional border and suddenly feel as though you are on a different planet -
so it comes as no surprise that each football club in the country is
un mundo (its own
world).

First, and most importantly, there is some sad news for the Wanderers World. Our dear Jussi is
retiring from his international career. His Finnish team failed to make South Africa 2010, and
Jaaskelainen announced his retirement earlier today. He was first capped in 1998, and has earned 55
since. Jussi, pure class as ever, came out with this statement:
"I have considered this decision long and hard, and I believe that it is now the right time to
give younger Finnish goalkeepers the chance to play on the international stage.

So far I haven't been able to find full highlights unfortunately, though I have found a video of
all the goals (you'll have to watch an advert about toothbrushes, but it's worth it). I will admit,
I did not see the match, nor have I been able to watch full highlights (I was playing rugby), so
this report will be a bit of an amalgamation of tidbits I stole form other reports.

The Goal That Saved Fergie's CareerUploaded by RepublikOfMancunia.
The legend goes that had Mark Robins not scored to put United through to the 1990 FA Cup final,
which we went on to win, Sir Alex Ferguson would have been given the sack. This is a story that the
manager denies but after almost four years in charge and not a trophy in sight it stands to reason
that time might have been running out for the manager.

immediate effect. The decision was announced in the early hours of this morning and came hot on the
heels of yesterday's 2-0 victory over Derby County at the Riverside.
The win over Derby ended a run of three straight home defeats in the Championship, and it is
this along with falling home attendences - less than 17,500 for the Derby game - that is being
rumoured as the contributing factors to Southgate's dismissal.

Opinion is polarised in football about Birmingham's new frontman Carson Yeung (not ‘owner,'
you'll notice; takeovers just cannot be that simple). Some would agree with the man who sneered:
"He's not going to put a penny in...I don't think that's likely to change." Others would back the
man who declared: "We believe his people can take this football club to the next level".
