Football Headlines – 30 April 2007
I’m avoiding the ‘common’ news today – so if you’re looking for commentary on what Mourinho is saying about Ronaldo or what Rafa is saying about Mourinho, you’ll have to hit The Sun. However, there are some quality articles that you should be reading instead. Here’s a quick look:
Chelsea’s chances of winning the Premiership are 1.6%
“United are in a much better situation but we know if we take nine points from our last three games and United lose six points then we’ll be okay. It’s not easy to lose six points but anything is possible in football.”

Football Headlines – 28 April 2007
The daily news update was missing yesterday as I plunged headfirst into (un)wittingly offending legions of fans from Manchester City, Newcastle and Chelsea.
