Ljunberg vs Mellberg – scenes from the Swedish dressing room
It was mentioned in the media earlier that after the Sweden vs Trinidad & Tobago game (0-0), Freddy Ljunberg and Olof Mellberg came close to blows on a dispute on ‘tactical matters’. Baraben.com reports on scenes from inside the dressing room. Some highlights:
Huth sets sights on Middlesbrough
Gareth Southgate, controversial though his selection as team manager as been, has already had a positive impact on Boro’s fortunes. His first signing – beating Wigan and Everton in the process – will be Robert Huth from Chelsea. The young German defender has been around forever it seems (he’s only 20) and after several years…
Man Utd have 10 mil bid rejected for Carrick
Early in the evening news had broken that Manchester United had made a bid of at least 7 mil pounds to Tottenham for Michael Carrick. While there has been no official response from Man Utd, BBC Sport has stated that Tottenham have rejected the bid out of hand (said to be 10 million pounds), with…
Cisse’s leg breaks Liverpool’s transfer plans
If the man’s injury had not been so horrific (I’ve seen the pictures) this would have been quite funny. Benitez has gone on record to say that “It’s really unfortunate for him but it’s true it’s now impossible for him to be sold.” Cisse, in case anyone remembers, was frighteningly quick and effective before his…

Owen Hargreaves for Manchester United?
Rumour has it that Owen Hargreaves fancies a move back to England – another one of those “oh would you like to play in England sometime?” “Of course I would” type of interviews. What he’s said is pretty clear – he would go to England only if one of the big four (Manchester United, Liverpool,…
Ribery to Arsenal?
Dixon and I talked this morning about Franc Ribery (that Gary Neville lookalike) going to Arsenal – in fact while the media has been hyping Lyon’s and Manchester United’s interest in the winger Dixon told me that Arsenal had been after the young French international for quite some while. This morning the media reported Arsenal’s…
Gallas wants respect from Chelsea
I’m not a Chelsea-hater – I really am not. I like Mourinho, and for the record I try to appreciate what Abramovich is doing (playing out the secret fantasy of every football fan by buying a club and building a dream team with it). Still, it’s hard not to laugh when players like Gallas and…
Fifa ask FA to investigate Arsenal-Beveren ties
From the Guardian: Fifa has officially requested the Football Association to investigate the relationship between Arsenal and Belgian club Beveren. Arsenal fans will shout conspiracy, while Arsenal haters will make a huge deal out of it. The media is bound to have a field day as well, although like the Obi Mikel saga this too…
Obi Mikel, Chelsea and Manchester United
A quick lesson in blind journalism for all you folks: Heard about Jon Obi Mikel? You know, that kid Chelsea just signed for 16 mil (12 mil of which is going to United)? A blue-tinted rant about Chelsea coming to the rescue A red-tinted rant on Chelsea’s money games Here’s my take on it:
