- NOTE: THE CLOCKS WERE CHANGED LAST NIGHT IN the UNITED KINGDOM!

There's a certain retro feel about the Premiership this year, what with Norwich and QPR knocking about on the shop floor. It's like the mid-nineties again; a more innocent time when Trevor Sinclair, Darren Eadie, Les Ferdinand and Ruel Fox could justifiably call themselves king. (Well, perhaps not the last one.

News today that former Newcastle United left-back Olivier Bernard will be entered into Show Racism the Red Card's Hall of Fame on Sunday afternoon. Olivier Bernard while at Newcastle Bernard will be inducted unto the Hall of Fame at half-time in Sunday's game between Newcastle and Tottenham, by two former Newcastle players, Les Ferdinand [.

Chicago Fire in shock Ferdinand link is a post from Soccer Blogger. Follow Soccer Blogger on Twitter MLS outfit Chicago Fire are said to be interested in securing the services of veteran Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.

As a fan of a Non-League side it's very rare that I have anyone to talk to about the team I support. I completely understand why some people will have little or nothing to say about the Non-League but what really gets on my nerves is when I hear people writing it off as being a poor level of football.

Former Sunderland defender Anton Ferdinand secured a deadline day transfer to Premier League newboys Queens Park Rangers. The 26 year old was faced with increased competition at the Stadium of Light this season after the summer arrivals of former Manchester United defenders Wes Brown and John O'Shea, and has opted for more playing time at QPR.

Whereas it's looking like the transfer of Robbie Keane is drawing ever closer, the question as to which of our strikers will join him remains unanswered. Yesterday, Les Ferdinand was widely reported as having intimated that Spurs didn't need a new centre foward and that the men in place were more than capable of scoring the goals needed to put us back in Champions League contention.

As we know, Jermain Defoe has scored an abysmal 3 league goals this season, the latest of which against West Brom, was his personal 100th goal in our colours, his personal 100th goal in the Premier League and the 1000th Tottenham Hotspur goal in the premier league. He revealed this week that it was a chat with ex-Spur Les Ferdinand that helped him become the 20th player to make it into the Premier League's 100 goals club.

Jermain Defoe joined an elite band of Spurs players with his 100th goal for the club in the 2-2 draw with West Brom at the weekend. Despite a poor season, Defoe insists he is fit and sharp and looking to keep adding to his tally.

Defoe said: "It was a relief to get to 100. It has been on my mind a lot to be honest.

Newcastle's Shola Ameobi seems to divide opinion, with some fans eager to get shot of him at the first opportunity and with others jumping to his defence.

Fourth placed Tottenham host league leaders Manchester United at White Lane today hoping to derail United's title charge. The two sides have served some true thrillers in the past, most notably in September, 2001 when the Red Devils came from three goals down to win 5-3 at White Hart Lane.

5/19/2001.

That was the last time that Tottenham were able to experience the joys of victory against Manchester United. For what it's worth though, Spurs' 3-1 win at White Hart Lane on the final day of the 2000/01 season was all but a meaningless match for United, who finished the campaign ten points clear of Arsenal to capture a third straight Premier League title.
