by VIC CRESCIT Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Somebody at the club must have repeatedly run
over a black cat in a tank. Yet again the injury curse has struck. Robin van Persie will be out, as
things stand at the moment, for at least six weeks. He did his right ankle ligaments landing badly
after a tackle playing for the Netherlands in their goalless draw in a friendly against Italy in
the Stadio Adriatico in Pescara on Saturday.

FC Boro 11 November @ 01:43 PM EST
Port Vale's trip to Broadhall Way for their 1st round replay against Boro next Tuesday will be
streamed live on the FA website. It's great news for the club as they are now due to receiveÂ
£33,750 for the game being broadcasted live, even though it isn't on TV. It's an unexpected bonus
for Phil Wallace and the club, who after losing the Setanta TV money in the summer have now
received this income as well as part of the £1m the Premier League gave to the Conference earlier
in the season.

Before the climax, the anticlimax. Battered beyond the point of collapse by Roma's thug tactics,
we crawled toward the end of the league season leaving bloody handprints all over the linoleum. If
we won just one of our two remaining matches against Atalanta and Bologna, 16th and 14th in Serie A
we'd win the title, but we were in no shape to practice, much less to play a competitive game.

There are two conflicting reports which state Danny Shittu, Bolton's out of favour defender, is
finally leaving The Reebok Stadium. The Lowestoft Journal links the Nigerian with Ipswich Town
while Tribal Football echoes The Mirror's story that Sheffield United have landed Danny.

A move to Portman Road would probably welcomed by Tractor Boys' manager, Roy Keane, who told the
Lowestoft Journal;
"There's just one or two areas where we are coming up short at the moment.

This list is incomplete. All of these players were signed to an official team roster, but didn't
play in a competitive game (regular season, playoffs, Open Cup, Champions League, etc).
For now, I've gone through the end of season rosters for 2004-2007. Some players may have been on
the roster for part of the season and then waived, so they'd be missing if that's the case.

I decided to lower the bar for this edition, picking only players who cost their new clubs less
than €7 million. Boy, am I glad I did.It turns out there was an awful lot of fine bargain
shopping this summer - so much that I entirely ignored any and all loan players, including ones
with buy options.

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admitted today that his £17m capture of Glen Johnson was more than he
wanted to spend on a full-back.
But he also revealed that the huge outlay does not signal the end of his summer spending.
With Chelsea also willing to pay Portsmouth's asking price for the England defender, Benitez
admitted: "Sometimes you have to spend a little bit more.

So that's it. For a couple of months at least.....
The climax to another Premier League season saw Newcastle and Middlesbrough join the Baggies in
the Championship next season.
No surprise really, as Boro would've needed a miracle to stay up, which was never really going
to happen, especially once West Ham took the lead.

A sad day personally for me yesterday, as I watched my team, Norwich City, fall without a whimper
into a League One. And it was painful.Excruciating to bear witness too, I was standing with 3,000
other NCFC fans, as we watched our team capitulate to a side already relegated to League One,
Charlton. We lost 4-2, though that doesn‘t tell the entire story.

"Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man" I doubt if Friedrich
Nietzsche had Charlton in mind when he wrote those words, but it seemed very apt at 5.00pm on
Saturday when the win at Plymouth was, finally, confirmed. Just when it seemed that the chase was
up, and many [...]
