Well, despite our promises, the Africa Cup of Nations has been continuing without us paying it
the slightest bit of attention.
In recent transfer windows and recent seasons we constantly hear Wenger and the Board remind us
that we are building a team for the future, a club for the 21st century, one that
does things differently promotes from within and doesn't need to pay huge transfer fees to
compete.
Some fans have countered this reasoning (fairly) that without a present the future means
nothing, and that the future has as little guarantee as signing a £50million striker or a
£35million striker depending on which team you prefer laughing at the most.
Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry has sent a strong message to the club's doubters,
asserting that for all the criticism over their massive spending spree and unproven title
credentials, the Citizens have delivered on the promises made to him.
Speaking ahead of the decisive leg of City's Carling Cup semifinal against Liverpool tonight,
Barry revealed that he strongly considered moving to Anfield in 2009 before choosing the Eastlands
based largely on a commitment to build for the future.

The January window is terrible for most clubs, since it's half through the season, and yet
clubs like Newcastle may lose some of their top players. Cheick Tiote - top target in January
for Chelsea and Liverpool? That's even though they don't want to sell, but given what happened
with Andy Carroll last January, Alan Pardew this time around is wisely not making any
promises to Newcastle fans that he can keep players [.

Former Liverpool hero turned villain Fernando Torres has come out to defend his choice of
joining rivals Chelsea in January. Torres who has struggled to replicate his Liverpool form with
Chelsea revealed that he shocked by the way his former fans were behaving.
In an interview with Spanish TV station Canal+ Liga, Torres was quoted as saying that
there was more to his move than what many people know or would like to believe.
That man Torres is at it again, criticising his former club when nearly 70% of Liverpool fans are
willing to forgive and forget and welcome him back to Anfield.
Speaking to Spanish TV station Canal+ Liga, Torres said: "The Liverpool fans don't know the truth
about why I signed for Chelsea.
Colorado announced this afternoon that Managing Director Jeff Plush is leaving the club. Depending
on which report or rumor you believe Plush either resigned (ESPN), amicably split (press release),
or was fired (poster's inside sources). Regardless the Rapids will now need to find a new Managing
Director and a new Head Coach.
It only seems like yesterday since that fateful day back in June of last year when
England's World Cup journey came to a shuddering halt against a young, fast-paced, powerful German
team that showed English fans everything that our team wasn't. Well, here we are only 16 months or
so later, with the first stages of Euro2012 already under our belt following the draw in Poland for
the Group matches, and frankly, nothing much has changed.
The U.S. Men's National Team has completed the 2011 campaign, finishing on a high note with an
entertaining 3-2 victory against Slovenia in Ljubljana. Along with the introduction of Jurgen
Klinsmann as head coach, there were a few key highlights:
- Clint Dempsey finished with a team-high five goals
- Carlos Bocanegra and Tim Howard finished with team-high 15 starts, the most appearances in a
year in each of their careers
- Bocanegra became the 12th player in U.

Italy and Uruguay face off in just a few hours, and, providing the two sides don't resort to the
type of defense necessary in a match termed a "friendly", this one promises a bit of excitement.
Think about it: Mario Balotelli and Luis Suarez on the same pitch, facing off against each other.
The possibilities for an epic showdown involving biting, kicking, tantrums and possibly a.
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has resigned as the manager of Stockport County after
just 4 months in charge.
Hamann, who only recently spoke on LFC TV about how well things were going at Edgeley Park, made
the following statement after his resignation:
"Following a meeting this morning between Lord Snape and myself I have tendered my resignation as
manager of Stockport County.
Andre Villas-Boas has dismissed suggestions that Chelsea need to reconsider their aggressive
playing style and insists that attack will remain the best form of defense at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have struggled defensively in recent matches and Villas-Boas was criticized for not
being able to control the temper of his players during last weekend's 1-0 defeat at QPR.
On the train home from Liverpool last night after their League Cup win at Everton, Chelsea
supporters could have been forgiven having something on their minds. For today, considerations
regarding the Champions League, the Premier League, the League Cup and even the investigation into
comments which may or may not have been made by John Terry last weekend took a back step this
afternoon in preference to a vote that would surely have had significant ramifications for the
future of their club.

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina claims the club blocked him from making a £20million move to
Arsenal in the summer of 2010.
Reina admits he was tempted to leave Merseyside after returning from Spain's victorious World Cup
campaign last year to find the Reds in a downward spiral.
Manager Rafa Benitez had been sacked, while director Christian Purslow was desperately seeking new
owners to replace Tom Hicks and George Gillett as the club struggled under a financial crisis.
Reina Reveals All in New Book
Liverpool's Pepe Reina has revealed all about the highs and lows of his career at the club in a
new book serialised today by the Daily Mail . The star stopper tells of his ‘depression' under
the previous regime, and how he came close to leaving last January but was talked out of it by his
wife.

I was not going to write another article about Cesc Fabregas I promised myself after he went away
to Barcelona.
The Serie A season is finally underway and with it comes the hopes, expectations, and dreams for
all clubs in Italy's top flight. Everything seems a little brighter with the promises of what can
happen but when everything falls apart after the first match, that light is much dimmer than
before. Preseason only garnered more questions than answers in regards to Inter manager Gian Piero
Gasperini's.
There was a full moon last night, which might go some way to explaining why every former
Liverpool player within shouting distance of two turntables and a microphone decided it was time to
talk about their former club. Either that or they turned into to werewolves—I have a hard time
keeping stuff like that straight.

NEWCASTLE FAN PERSPECTIVE
By QPR Report Correspondent MaudesFishnChipsMany thanks to St1pe from NUFC-forum.
'Oh the Deadwood stage is a'comin on over the hill' (Now with videos. See end of blog). That
stagecoach sure looks pretty dang full up on top pardner. One or two have return tickets but may
get drygulched up in them there Northern hills. Yee Ha! So the window closes and it gets better the
more I think about it.
(part 1)
The departures of Clichy, Nasri and Cesc this summer have shocked us all. Just when ‘Project
Youth' started to deliver on its promises, some of the most valuable assets are sold for hard cash
to a major domestic competitor, and a European competitor. It is so much harder to build a club's
strategy around youth development than it is to buy fully ripened and proven top quality players
every year.
Over the next few weeks we'll have a look at the players that remain in the Spurs squad for
2011-12 and ask what kind of impact they are likely to have at the club this season.
In the case of Younes Kaboul, this promises to be an interesting campaign and one in which he
can cement a first team place and make himself Harry's first choice centre back to partner Michael
Dawson.
The U-20 Seleção won the World Cup yesterday beating Portugal 3-2 during the overtime with a
stellar performance by Oscar. The players of U-20 teams don't always carry through with the
promises that they show at this stage but who knows if some of these will be future World Cup
stars.
guest writer/Marco Rinaldi There are worrying signs that the Russian revolution at Venezia may turn
out to be yet another nightmare for the fans of the Lagunari. When Yuri Korablin arrived earlier
this year, there were promises of a 100m euro stadium, a revamp of the training facilities
including the laying of an artificial pitch, and serious investment in the squad that would see the
club back.
Laurent Koscielny had an up-and-down first year at Arsenal with the lowest time coming when he had
a mix-up with Wojciech Szczesny which led to Birmingham's winning goal in the Carling Cup Final.
That single moment has been blamed for Arsenal's complete decline afterwards, which saw them crash
out of every competition.
With the opening of the international transfer window about to open on Friday, there's a
distinct possibility the Seattle Sounders will not be announcing a new Designated Player before
then. As best as we can tell, the rumored African DP who is supposedly set to be announced this
week, is not someone being tied to the Sounders.
While all the Arsenal fans are worrying about whether Arsene Wenger is really going to keep his
promises and nuy some much-needed stars this summer, there are still some intrigues going on in the
boardroom. Todays sponsor Visit www.eCheckBetting.com to learn how to bet with eChecks! Stan
