With a couple of upcoming Friendlies (Macedonia on Nov 14 & Poland on Nov 18), and with a break
in my Masters happening right now (oh, how convenient), I finally have chance to to write a proper
blog post that isn't a summary of my Twitter stories.
Yeah a lot has happened lately. First Begovic, then Jacob Lensky (and thank you, Stephen Hart,
for publicly expressing your disappointment).

So far the Premiership old boys are showing their class, occupying the top 3 places.
After paying out £2 million compensation to Keegan Newcastle failed to score for the first time
this season against Bristol City. Fans can only hope that any takeover, made more likely by the

action. An FA spokesman said: "The FA has [.

Hume deserves better protection Your Honour, it was always pretty soul destroying to see your team
take a heavy loss and having to head in to school the following Monday to face the taunts of your

That looks a bit sore This is the damage done by Sheffield United's Chris Morgan. He looks like he
has been beaten up by a thug on a night out. Well, one out of two, I suppose... Hume has apparently

revealed a few [.

Tykes consider legal action over incident Original Video Sheffield United could do with a season
ticket at the courts right now. With Tevezcherano still bubbling away somewhere, the club is now
been threatened with some legal action of their own. Barnsley is considering legal action against
Blades defender Chris Morgan after a clash which left Iain Hume [.
