Konuda diğer ismi geçen ise Euro2008 öncesi hem rock dinliyor / çalıyor hem de küpeli diye basınımızın epeyce hoşuna giden Slaven Bilic. Bilic deyince benim aklıma önce attıkları goldeki çiğ sevinçleri sonra milli takımın golündeki surat ifadesi en son da hakeme okkalı sallayışları geliyor. Click to continue reading...

Harry Redknapp must have been raging. Dunking a Digestive biscuit into his mid-morning tea, the unexpected purchase of Manchester City by a consortium of billionaires from Abu Dhabi can only have left a bitter taste in his mouth.

2 games, 0 points. No goals scored and five goals allowed.

What those numbers don't tell you are the two opponents in question. At Stamford Bridge against Chelsea and then host to Manchester United.

It usually takes approximately three matches before the rumour mill starts to rotate, so it is that time again.
