Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has again defended Andy Carroll after accusing the media of targeting the most expensive British footballer in history.
Ahead of a reunion with former club Newcastle on Friday, the record-breaking £35million striker has endured a torrid 12 months in 2011 after moving to Anfield last January.

The People quietly apologises to Andy Carroll and LFC

EVEN with the best of intentions people can make mistakes. And that includes The People, the Sunday tabloid from the same publishers as the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror. Did The People have the best intentions when they made a mistake in a story they ran about Andy Carroll?

Last Weekend, 'The People' ran a story claiming that Liverpool had put Andy Carroll on a 12 month fitness schedule in a bid to improve his performances for the club. It was obvious from first-read that the story was ludicrous, and The People has now publicly apologised to Carroll for running the story.

Dutch midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has underlined his happiness at White Hart Lane following the start of his club's preseason camp. The former Real Madrid star had a scintillating first season with Harry Redknapp's Spurs, and hopes to make an even bigger splash as Tottenham eye a spot in the top four next season.

Spurs players were back in training last week and it seems that Rafael van der Vaart has had the most to say ahead of the new season.

The Dutch international is enjoying his first pre-season at Spurs Lodge and is relishing the task ahead and meanwhile he has given some hope to Spurs fans who regarded him as too injury-prone last term,

Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie was recently quoted as saying that England's national team's recent performances are attributed to their wild, rich lifestyles.

"When I see some English footballers who are out until three in the morning, then I can only conclude that they are invariably finished at 33," said van Persie.

Jonathan Bornstein has embarked on a new chapter in his career, becoming one of the few U.S. National Team players to play professionally in Mexico following time in Major League Soccer. After five seasons at Chivas USA and two starts in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the defender chose a change of football, culture and lifestyle when he joined Tigres in January.

With all his business and show biz lifestyle on the side, Rio Ferdinand may have surprised some recently when he claimed he one day wanted to be a football manager.

Speaking with Andy Mitten, Rio has explained it's something for the future, when asked where he'd be in ten years time.

"I'll either be managing a club or will be doing the school run and working on my magazine and charities," he said.
