Gold has come out and said that the takeover looks to be 50% now (dropped from 90% certain)

I feel so bad for Carson Yeung. He was just a destitute turd farmer from Hong Kong who came to England with the dream of farming the biggest of turds. Sometimes, the dream dies a little harder than the man.

Sounds like a job for.....

He has experience working with pigs and toiling in shit.

Abendblatt, a newspaper in Hamburg, claim we're after Nigel de Jong

Is it my imagination or did we have no single player score twice in any league game this season?

You're correct. It happened four times last season: Baroš against small heath, Luke Moore scored three against Boro, Ridgewell against Fulham, and Baroš against Everton on Boxing Day.

I was really starting to come around to it, but then I read this article. I still think it looks pretty decent from a distance, but up close I can't really look at it for very long. It's not all it could be, but I can accept it. So it goes.

Saw this on Soccernet and figured I'd post it.

ASTON VILLA

Wanted: With Randy Lerner's cheque-book at the ready, Martin O'Neill will be champing at the bit for the window to open in January. Winger Lee Cook (QPR) has already attracted the manager's interest and he has made it clear that long-term signings will be the priority.

Needed: A striker like Miroslav Klose (Werder Bremen) or Robbie Keane (Tottenham) would give an added goal threat, alongside former loanee James Milner (Newcastle). With a propensity for signing Celtic players however, O'Neill could make midfielder Stephen Pearson or defender Bobo Balde the next players to move south.

I always stand. My aim is immaculate.
