Now, Johnson for £17 million was a different and entirely more retarded matter. Liverpool do not have that kind of money so Lord knows why they approved that. Well over the summer they actually spent very little overall, given the sales of Alonso and Arbeloa - in fact they may even have made a prof...

Owen is finished and has been for a while. Can't stay fit. Has no pace. Contributes fook all to a side apart from goals and its debatable whether he is sharp enough or quick enough to do that at international level anymore. Capello hasn't been picking him for the simple reason he's not been good en...

Michael Owen for England...or maybe not

Michael Owen interview here

He says he wants to go to the World Cup. He better hurry up and book his flight cos he wont be going with the England squad...

Anyone actually think he warrants a place?

I'd sooner have Kevin Davies any day of the week.

Hughes seems to think he's gonna get away with it - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 263504.stm

Now the dust has settled I can see the FA giving in. After all, he was shown a yellow card at the time of the incident.

On a slightly different note, just how poor can the Championship be this year if the three relegated sides are the top three in the division? Especially given the mess that Newcastle are in off the pitch. I read this Championship article a couple of weeks back tipping all 3 to go up and at this rate...

A full article is on BBC Sport here . Seems like a very odd decision all round - first of all they'd just picked up a decent point away from home and secondly it was always going to be a long term job, given the situation with the players. Panicking now just seems like a very bad idea. He deserved a...

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the case, UEFA handled the situation very poorly. The ban should either have stood or never been handed out in the first place. Why they haven't sat down in a room and worked out a clear set of guidelines yet is beyond me. Simply handing out the occasional yell...

Looks like he's gonna be sentenced later today (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 252803.stm)

Could well be a big old ban. I can see City struggling without him.

Re: Dean Ashton

It's a great shame as he could've been a real top drawer player for club and country.

I guess that's the downside of professional football, you might be paid a lot but it can be a very short career.

That's a point, is it being classed as the same offence? If so then surely it should be triggered.

I'd be surprised if it stands. Would be funny if it does though, not like they are in desperate need of any right now. They might not be at the moment but just wait til next summer. Their squad is ageing and I reckon Ancelotti's gonna be regretting his lack of signings now. I hope it stands, it's a...

Surely the right decision. Gordon Strachan give the incident the treatment it deserves on MOTD2 last night. Definitely, it certainly made me laugh! It was a stupid sending off, it's not like he kicked the bottle at the fans or opposition bench and it wasn't even a particularly aggressive kick. Weng...

There was that Argentinian goalkeeper Carlos Roa (he played against England in the 98 World Cup). He quit because he thought the world was going to end at the turn of the millenium.

No idea what he did afterwards..
