What you missed while Darth Vader was being made into a cathedral gargoyle…
- Third tier Alcorcón lost 1-0 to Real Madrid yesterday in the second leg of the Copa del Rey; due to their 4-0 win two weeks ago they’ll still advance to the next round over the nine-time champions. This doesn’t phase Florentino Pérez, however: “Our dream is to build a spectacular team but it would not be a failure if we didn’t win a title.” What his exact definition of “failure” is has yet to be determined, but losing to a club worth about 1% of your transfer budget apparently doesn’t qualify.
- David Ngog isn’t a cheat…says David Ngog’s agent.
- Roman Pavlyuchenko will insist that he be allowed to leave Tottenham when he sits down with Harry Redknapp after the international break.
- Robinho is apparently unhappy at Manchester City because they got rid of all their Brazilians and wants out of town; however, he apparently isn’t going to Barcelona, who’re fresh out of cash for the transfer.
- Congratulations to the Suwon Bluewings, your new Korean Cup winners.
- Didier Drogba’s withdrawn from the Côte d’Ivoire national team’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers due to injury.
- China’s not messing around about sorting out their national team anymore. They should maybe consider bringing in Bob Bradley to sort them out…?
- Aston Villa defender Luke Young has retired from international football.
- Peter Crouch has vowed to stop clubbing so that Fabio Capello won’t drop him from the national team. The sacrifices these guys make for sport stun me.
- Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws believes that it’s only a matter of time before a Premier League club goes bankruptLALALALALIVERPOOLCAN’THEARYOU!
