What you missed while the “Best Job in the World” winner was getting stung by a jellyfish. This stuff writes itself sometimes, you know?
- Edwin van der Sar is on indefinite leave from Manchester United after his wife suffered a brain hemorrhage; the club has told him to take as long as he needs.
- Jose Mourinho is hinting that he could be back in the Premier League as soon as next season. So all Liverpool needs to do is fire Benitez, come up with a huge transfer kitty, sell the team, and hire him. Right?
- Steve Bruce (and my fantasy team) are thrilled with Darren Bent’s recent run of form; the striker scored twice in Sunderland’s 2-2 draw with Blackburn yesterday.
- Wolves 0-3 Manchester City; I liked Man City better when they were lovably underachieving.
- Cristiano Ronaldo wants to face Barcelona in the Champions League final. Which is in the Bernabeu. Because that could only go well for them, right?
- Valencia have restarted construction on their new stadium, which is weird because I thought that I had more money than Valencia at this point.
- Didier Drogba scored in his last appearance with Chelsea before the African Cup of Nations.
- Fabio Capello says that as long as David Beckham is fit he’ll be in the World Cup squad…if you only read this headline. If you read the article, there’s this little matter of him also having to play well.
- Soccernet’s put out their Premier League Team of the Decade for everyone to argue about.
- Andrea Dossena’s agent has ruled out a move to Napoli; Liverpool fans don’t care where he goes as long as it isn’t into the Anfield locker room.
