Didn't expect to write today, but the news is in and it deserves relaying to all those who may have missed it, although I didn't know anyone lived on the moon these days. If planet earth is indeed your preferred habitat, you may have stumbled across the announcement that it's St.David's Day. For those unaware, he's the patron saint of Wales.
Premier League football club Manchester United has received permission from the Singapore
Exchange for a planned £634m listing in a deal that would include non-voting preference shares,
two sources with knowledge of the deal told Reuters on Friday.
Although precise details of United's plans are yet to be confirmed, it is thought the Glazer
family are looking to sell 25% of the club, which they hope will net them £600m.
The exodus from Malaga has begun as Venezuelan striker Jose Salomon Rondon has gone to Russia's
Rubin Kazan, while Spain international Santi Cazorla has joined England's Arsenal.
Rondon, who became the club's highest scorer after arriving two seasons ago from Las Palmas, has
signed a four-year contract, Rubin announced on their website.
Michael Regan/Getty Images With the hubbub of the Royal Wedding taking the Internet by storm, it
seems only right to talk about the favorite past time of England, Football.
In honor of the pending nuptials, I thought a look into the favorite football clubs of the royal
family seemed like a great piece of gossip for all those obsessed with Kate and William.
Silly old Joey Barton is currently staring down the barrel of a twelve, count 'em,
twelve! -game ban for general dickery on the final game of last season and, with QPR's
patience reserves dwindling, it looks like English football's preeminent copy-and-paste philosopher
is going to be keeping the chub at bay by training with League Two side Fleetwood Town.

It's always tough to take your focus away from Clasico clashes. Hence Barca's visit to Malaga
could be a herculean task in some aspect. First you have to get your feet back on the ground
following a sweet victory at Bernebeu, then the big task - keeping the Wednesday's clash with real
Madrid at camp Nou in the background.
Nah, don't scratch your screens... it's only David Villasin cera del
pelo (without hair wax) at the Royal Order of Sporting Merit Awards in Madrid yesterday! The
entire team received their gold medals last night- the highest recognised sporting distinction in
the country following their World Cup triumph last year.
Big spending Malaga are lining up a New Year swoop for Manchester City and Liverpool target Raul
Albiol.
The Spain international, who joined Real Madrid for £13m from Valencia in 2009, has fallen out of
favour at the Bernabeu and is yet to feature this season.
The 26-year-old is desperate to make Vicente Del Bosque's squad for next summer's European
Championship finals in Poland and Ukraine and reports in Spain have revealed he is ready to leave
the club in January to secure first-team football.
Of course, the man of the moment (or rather, week, for the Sevillistas) is
Alberto Negredo! And it looks like tipo is expecting a child of his own too, with
that celebratory thumb-sucking gesture after scoring both goals in their 2-1 win over
Malaga last night.
I have a dream fellow Gooners. Well, in truth, I have several dreams. But I'll leave the one
involves Robbie Savage's testicles and a set of vinegar soaked razor blades for another time. I
dream that one day, international football will jump back into its bloody box and quit its
persistent interruptions in the club season.

Paul Doyle of the Guardian raves about Clint Dempsey and why Liverpool, or any other team, should
be overjoyed to get their hands on him.
-While the stories have been going 'round and 'round that Liverpool has already signed Dempsey,
keep in mind he has said on many occasions that he wants to play in the Champions League, and
Liverpool is not in that tournament.
A Council of Europe committee has came out and said that Man City's £400 million sponsorship
deal between itself and Etihad airline is an "improper transaction."
The Council of Europe cannot impose any rules however, it is separate from the European Union
and acts as a watchdog body, which means that they might not be able to do anything to stop the
deal.
