Arsenal's new away kit: I like it. But that picture looks somewhat dodgey. Ah well, atleast now I know that whenever I go to Arsenal train station I can sit on the bench that Henry, Gilberto, Walcott and Fabregas sat on...assuming that isn't just a backround.
Just put these 6 players together in a team and you have England success: Cech Nesta Toure Fabregas Gerrard Henry
ah well...anyone have a clear picture of whats happening at Leeds? news doesnt travel to where i am very fast so im kinda confuzzled
Percides, it wasn't like I had an unlimited buget to get whatever players I wanted...in fact I ended up not even registering for it.
Leeds entered voluntary administration on 4th May 2007, thus incurring a 10 point deduction which confirmed the clubs relegation to League One. [12]. Administration had been predicted for some time, due to crippling debts created during Peter Ridsdale's chairmanship. For his part, Ridsdale denied any of the current situation was his fault,[13] only days after having admitted it was a mistake to allow David O'Leary to spend so lavishly on players[14]. Ken Bates, however, blamed Leeds financial situation firmly on Ridsdale and his board[15]. KPMG Restructuring were appointed as administrators of Leeds United A.F.C, and within minutes of entering administration the club were sold to Leeds United Football Club Limited, owned by Ken Bates, Shaun Harvey and Mark Taylor [16]. Don Revie's son Duncan [17] and Simon Morris also launched a rival bids. It has been revealed that a large amount of Leeds' debt is owed to many ex-players whom left up to three years prior to the club entering administration, £18 million of the £35m is however owed to three companys[18], and £6 million owed to HMRC[12]. On 21st May 2007 32 of the 36 players in the Leeds squad agreed to defer their wages until the club had emerged from administration; the remaining four will be paid by the administrators[19]. On the 1st June 2007 75.02% of the creditors voted in favour of Ken Bates' bid, however it was so close a recount was scheduled for the following Monday[20]. BBC Look North reported that Dennis Wise had already missed out on four potential signings due to the curent administration hanging over the club stopping them from trading on the transfer market[21]. The recount ended in Bates' favour with 75.20% of the vote going his way meaning Bates now has full control of the club[22]. Here are the musicians/bands all the Premiership clubs are equivalent to according to Four Four Two magazine, if anyone wants to know: Arsenal - Air Aston Villa - Prince Blackburn - Radiohead Bolton - The Rolling Stones Charlton - St Etienne Chelsea - Coldplay Everton - The Beatles Fulham - The Bangles Liverpool - David Hasselhoff Man City - Oasis Man United - Thelonious Monk Middlesbrough - Snow Patrol Newcastle - The Grateful Dead Portsmouth - Fatboy Slim Reading - Velvet Underground Sheffield United - Razorlight Tottenham Hotspur - U2 Watford - The Smiths West Ham - Chas 'n' Dave Wigan - Arcade Fire
Leeds have the Kaizer Chiefs woot! wow England actually had a romp and Owen AND Crouch scored which is a pretty good improvement from previous outings even if its only against Estonia...
So Ribery ends up at Bayern Munich? What a fucking tosser, he kept saying all last season his main goal was to be in the champions league and what does he do? He fucks off to a team who didn't qualify for it. I'm upset that he didn't sign for us because I thought he'd be a great addition to the squad, but I'm literally furious that he's gone back on everything he said and joined a non CL team. Hell he'd have been better off staying at Marseille, they actualy did qualify. What a bastard.
To be fair, Bayern in the long term are more likely to collect silverware than Marseille. Lyon don't look like fucking up in the french league anytime soon and Marseille are hardly champions league contenders. But I do agree that if it's Champions League football he wanted, then it was silly to join Bayern when there are definately other clubs in for him that are in the CL and equally as likely to win trophies. I'm glad he didn't join an English club however.
wow Leeds have to wait until next month to stat wheeling and dealing this is gonna look like a bad season...
Well its your team who gave Bayern the funding to buy Ribery. 18mil for Hargreaves, that's just fucking ridiculous.
