back pages of Britains newspapers. Of course to keep tabs
on Sven we will occasionally refer to the front pages too!

and the build up to the FIFA World Cup in Germany 2006 begins.
Tuesday Gossip
England and Gooners
defender Ashley Cole could be out of action for six weeks.
(Daily Mail) Should be fine for
the World Cup then.
Chelski's
Glen Johnson will miss his side's Champions League clash against
Barcelona after forgetting his passport. (The Sun) That
is the best excuse we ever heard for not making the team.
Hot Totty Slags
are interested in signing Asunder World
midfielder Julio Arca. (Daily Mirror) Many
say Asunder World only top player is Arca. There is much more
sense buying the class of a South American once they have
proven themselves in the European league and even more so
if they have Premiership experience.
Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell is set to swoop for Trinidad and
Tobago star Collin Samuel on loan. (Daily Mirror)
World football's governing body, Fifa, will make sure every
player at the World Cup will be checked for possible heart
defects. (The Independent) Can
we also check if they have completed a diving course and got
their PADI diving certification?
Newcastle
chairman Freddy Shepherd is prepared to be patient in his
bid to find a new manager for the St James' Park club. (Daily
Mirror) Mick McCarthy is available
now though...
Man
City are confident Sylvain Distin will sign a new deal.
(Daily Mail)
Gooners
are said to have made an enquiry for 15-year-old Nacer Barazite
of NEC Nijmegen. (The Independent) Barazite
- sounds like parasite, i know Chelski get on a lot of peoples
nerves but really? ok we have no idea who this young lad is,
but wish him all the best!
Northern Ireland
are ready to offer Brian McBride a two-year contract. (Daily
Mirror)
Sheffield United will pull the plug on a £300,000 deal
for Preston's Chris Lucketti if a deal is not agreed within
24 hours. (Daily Mirror) OOOOooooooh
someone playing hard ball!

Razak Boukari, according to the player himself. (The Independent)
Who?
Man
City are set to complete the £3.4m signing of Albert
Riera within the next week. (The Daily Telegraph)
Another player we have no idea of.
Former France star Michel Platini believes Brazil striker Ronaldo
is not the same player he was because he is "a few kilos
too heavy". (Daily Mirror) He
is more than the player he was would be a better
way of describing his current portly state!
Tottenham
boss Martin Jol would like to sign Anal Town striker Juan Pablo Angel. (The Sun) Another
South American who has been bedded down in the Premiership
already.
