Sir Bobby Robson RIP

To Elsie (Sir Bobby's wife) and to Sir Bobby's family and friends, please accept my condolences and condolences of my readers for your sad loss and I know there are thousands of blogs in cyberspace expressing their feelings of sorrow to you right now.

The Mail Online has reproduced Sir Bobby's last written column and for me I think it is ironic.

Thank you Sir Bobby

Barclays Premier Asia Trophy - Day 1

After Day One of the Barclays Premier Asia Trophy competition being held in Beijing, China it will be a Tottenham v Hull City final on Friday.

Tottenham beat West Ham 1-0 in the first game and West Ham's day was made worse when Luis Boa-Morte was stretchered off after damaging his cruciate knee ligaments. It is expected that Boa-Morte will be out of action for the next six months.

Tottenham's winner was scored by Jermaine Defoe.

In second game, Hull City drew 1-1 with the hosts Beijing Guoan. Geovanni opened the scoring for Hull and Beijing equalised just after the second-half restart from Midibo.

Hull eventually won 5-4 on penalties.

So the line-up for Friday is West Ham v Beijing (for 3rd and 4th place) and Tottenham v Hull (Final).

How The Mighty Toon Are Falling!

First there was relegation from the Premiership to the Championship, then last Saturday the 'Toon' were stuffed 6-1 by Leyton Orient and today the proposed take-over of St James' Park fell through.

Can things get any worse?

You know what they say, once you start in a downward spiral.......

'Welcome to Manchester'

Sir Alex, thousands of miles away in China on tour with ManUre has ruffled a few feathers at Eastlands, saying Money Citeh are a 'small club' with a 'small mentality.'

His remarks are down to the above picture (Tevez on a advertising hoarding in the centre of Manchester) and the season hasn't started YET!!!

The Sven Goran Effect!!

He has had that 'effect' with women and it looks like the SVEN EFFECT is taking over the oldest club in the Football League..... that is Notts County.

This afternoon (Saturday) County took on Forest (from just across the River Trent) and beat them 2-1.

Albeit it was a pre-season friendly, but over 12,000 people travelled to Meadow Lane to witness SVENGALI's arrival.

I told you Notts County was a team to watch out for!!
