There was good news yesterday for Newcastle fans when top striker Demba Ba said he has no intention of leaving Newcastle in the summer. Newcastle's new strike force Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse Ba said the most important thing in football was to be happy and he was happy and enjoying his football on Tyneside, and as usual, the 26 year-old came over [.

Le Toux talks

It just won't stop.

As suggested by the 130 readers' comments posted on PSP in less then 24 hours since the Le Toux transfer news broke, if the sadness felt by Union fans at the news of Sebastien Le Toux's transfer to Vancouver wasn't enough, subsequent comments from Peter Nowak and Le Toux will, for many, see that sadness turn to anger.

Very interesting revelations are emerging from the Harry Redknapp tax evasion court proceedings. On Thursday, the Southwark Crown Court heard some very amusing statements from the Tottenham Hotspurs manager.

Apparently, Redknapp is illiterate. He cannot read or write. In a tape recording played to the court, Redknapp said that he did not know what an email was and that he had never sent a text or fax in his life.

So I started writing a blog the other night, canned it, and came back to it again with the intention of letting time dilute my disappointment. Why? Well the first effort was just too doom-laden, hairshirt-wearing, chest-thumping and – well it was a miserable read all round. I didn't enjoy writing it so I added one and one together, made two, and realised that nobody of a sound mental disposition would much care to read it either.

We were looking forward to dusting off our radical feminist costumes and having a good old bitch when we found out that Brazilian side Brasiliense FC had been pushing soft porn on their club website in a bid to boost site traffic.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp set-up a secret offshore 'bung' account named after his pet dog, a court heard yesterday. Redknapp was said to have received "bungs or offshore bonuses" from former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric during his time at Fratton Park. The payments were allegedly received into a bank account in Monaco.

Coke-d up spot-kick row Bury captain Steven Schumacher and midfielder Giles Coke were both booked after a row over who should take a penalty during their 3-2 win over Yeovil. Having won the spot-kick, Coke grabbed the ball with the intention of taking the penalty. Skipper and usual penalty taker Schumacher attempted to pull rank, [.

Alex McLeish has told Liverpool that they will have to make an ‘attractive' offer for Darren Bent if they wish to prize the striker away from Aston Villa.
The Reds have been linked with a January move for the England international, as Kenny Dalglish looks to add much needed firepower to their attacking line.

If you've ever spent a Friday afternoon at work trying to run down the clock by watching Spurs videos on YouTube (come on, you know you have), you may have come across the amazing Spurs Away Day videos by @DanLouw. If you haven't, then this article is filling a gap in your Spurs filled life that you never really realised you had, but somehow always knew was there.

OK so it's not the major striker or defender signing that some have been looking for but the club announced its first deal of the year with the news that Yago Falque has signed on a permanent deal from Juventus.

The 21 year old Spaniard has been with the club since the start of the campaign with the intention of completing a season long loan.

Here is some insight into why Rovers fans hate Steve Kean. They actually hate the owners just as much for their bewildering decision to sack the hugely popular Sam Allardyce installing Kean in his place. The reason was never fully explained. But this seems to be par for the course for an ownership whose intention is to marginalize the board right from the inception.

As expected Gary Cahill has completed his £7 million move to Chelsea from Bolton Wanderers, apparently being given a contract worth £23 million.
In another quite interesting piece of speculation, Tottenham Manager Harry Redknapp has denied that the club are willing to swap Luka Modric for Fernando Torres at Chelsea.

A frustrating day at the lane saw a hemmed in Spurs drop two points and miss the chance to go joint top. Wolves came out with the intention of pressuring us all over the pitch and maintained it for 90 minutes. A point well deserved for them but very disappointing for us considering how well we dominated Everton Wednesday night.

Liverpool drew their 7th home game of the season against Stoke earlier today, and whilst the club is still in touch with the the champions league places, history seems to suggest a top four finish is now very unlikely. It would be madness to write Liverpool off at this stage, and that's not my intention at all, but historical performance can sometimes be a persuasive indicator of how things may

Despite the recent bold pronouncements by new NI boss Michael O'Neill regarding his intention to stop players from the North opting to play for Ireland rather than his IFA team, it would seem, going by player statements in the past week, that his misguided mission is likely to continue falling on deaf-ears with players and supporters alike.

Eric Cantona, who has added the offices of poet and thespian to his CV since folding up his shorts, has reportedly taken steps to acquire the 500 mayoral signatures he needs to stand for France's presidential vote this year.

However, French newspaper Liberation has subsequently stated that Eric's intention is not to make it as far as the Elysee Palace (the official residence of the Prez), but to draw attention to poor quality housing in the country.

If ever there was a match made in Heaven in the footballing world, it would have to be between Arsenal and Thierry Henry, who have found each other again after a five-year absence, with the magic the same as it ever was.

It was an otherwise drab encounter, with little to get excited about as a makeshift Arsenal team struggled to break down a determined and dogged Leeds side coming with only one intention a lucrative replay.

The Independent has run a story today which claims that Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson have fallen out which has lead to the striker looking for a move away from the club, again.

Liverpool's blind loyalty to Luis Suárez leaves no room for contrition

Liverpool looked to have seen the light in not appealing against the verdict but club and player still refuse to accept they are in the wrong At last Liverpool have seen sense. At least that was the initial reaction when news broke that the club would not be appealing against the eight-match ban and £40,000 fine imposed on Luis Suárez for racially abusing Patrice Evra.

Truth be told I'd prefer the 2002 vintage, but I'd be lying if I said I was completely cold about the possible return of Sir Thierry of Henry. It's difficult not to be taken in by the romance of our all-time top scorer coming back for a few months, even if he is now one score and fourteen years old.

With the holidays upon us, it's important to remember what's really important and matters the most.
That reflection can happen at home with family and within your own religious faith, but also within your team, too.

Alan Hansen has been forced to apologise after unwittingly referring to the black players affected by the ongoing Suarez and Terry racism cases as 'coloured' not once but twice on Match of the Day last night.

Hansen, who was making a point about the strides made vis-a-vis racial tolerance in the modern game, said:

"I think there's a lot of coloured players in all the major teams and there are lots of coloured players who are probably the best in the Premier League.

Liverpool voiced out their rage after acknowledging FA's punishment towards their star striker, Luis Suarez, who received an eight match as he is being found guilty in making a racist remarks towards Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

The Reds, through their official voiced out a stern disapproval statement regarding the decision, but reports stated that the club's response was taken off from their site 30 minutes after being shown.

Real Sociedad defender Inigo Martinez insists he is happy to remain in San Sebastien, despite reported interest in his signature from Liverpool.
The 20-year-old made his senior debut for Sociedad this season, and has since registered a further 13 appearances in La Liga.
His composed displays at the back have reportedly caught the attention of Liverpool, and it has been claimed that Kenny Dalglish is keen to bring the Spaniard to Anfield in January.

Priority for Lionel is his family and his club, Home UnitedWhile many consider retiring from international football at the age of 29 is too young, especially for the case of goalkeeper.
After all, great custodians like Dino Zoff and Peter Shilton did maintain their presence between the posts for their countries past their forties.

News reports are dominated by one story today and that concerns Tottenham's intention to de-list from the Stock Exchange after posting record annual profits.

The Statement on the club website from Daniel Levy reads,

"It is clear to us that increasing the capacity of the club's stadium is a key factor in the continued development and success of the club and will involve the company in considerable additional capital expenditure," a club statement read.

Image that makes the heart shudder in fear

As fans, we are more than easily riled aren't we. I will be the first to admit that when it comes to Arsenal, emotions are rarely things within my control. When I saw the way Real Madrid has acted in trying to tap up one of our players, I was incensed.

Middlesbrough star Rhys Williams insists that he has no intention of leaving the club in January.
Williams stated earlier this week that he was not ready to sign a new deal at Boro - unless they improved their offer.
This led to renewed speculation about his future with Bolton and Liverpool linked again, with Aston Villa also previously linked.

Earlier this season, ambitious newly promoted premier league side, Queens Park Rangers (QPR) didn't hide their intention in grabbing England's veteran midfielder, David Beckham, but apparently that ambition has now died out.

QPR's hands off Beckham's deal was revealed by the club's manager, Neil Warnock, who stated that at the moment his team probably needs other players instead of the flamboyant LA Galaxy midfielder.

Well, after the hysteria of yesterday's shirt giveaway (more on that later) things have taken a rather sober turn this afternoon. Like one of those magic-eye pictures that were all the rage in the nineties, the details are burning into focus and it looks awfully like another international break boogieman.
