I expect you'll see your biggest ever drop in shirt sales next season... It's a shame, could've been bearable if done well.

 

I buy every season's shirt, and I certainly won't be buying one next season, I think i'll just get the 2010-11 one again as it gets discounted when the Qatar foundation ones get released.

If you want a new Barca shirt for next season but don't wanna buy one full of sponsors, you should check this place out. Top quality and based in Newcastle too.

Kaká back in training for Real Madrid.

 

Wonder if Mou will get some form off him. He didn't seem to care much about Kaká in preseason but Canales is flopping so far and Özil is the best player in the world when playing teams with two-digit league placing, so he'll get a chance in the hole (Pellegrini actually played him a lot in the wing).

Geordie scout Paul Montgomery linked with replacing Frank Arnesen @ Chelsea . Monty years ago was a manager on the Tuxedo Princess which was a ship that was a nightclub under the Tyne bridge. he has worked for NUFC 3 times, once under Jim Smith, under Sir Bobby & under Sam Allardyce with the grand title of UK and Europe coordinator. He was sacked by Wise & was snapped by the Big Eck @ Birmingham who he had worked for at Rangers.

 

Paul Montgomery keen to finish job despite Chelsea link

 

BLUES’ star spotter Paul Montgomery has admitted to being ‘flattered’ by a Chelsea job link.

 

But the club’s chief scout said he had no intention of deserting Alex McLeish at St Andrew’s.

 

Montgomery has been apparently put on a three-man shortlist to either replace Frank Arnesen as sporting director at Stamford Bridge, or join a new-look structure.

 

Roman Abramovich wants more of a hands-on influence in this sphere and was alerted to Montgomery’s background and track record by his advisors.

 

Montgomery worked with McLeish at Rangers and was appointed by him at Blues in February 2008.

 

He famously described the scouting structure he inherited as ‘prehistoric’ and quickly set about appointing half-a-dozen scouts across the country to look after Blues’ needs. That was a first act to bring Blues into some sort of line with their rivals on home shores.

 

But he said they had been lagging behind for some time. A scouting budget for a club like Everton or Fulham is around £1.2 million; Blues have only been committing a quarter of that.

 

However, acting chairman Peter Pannu has made a lot of noises in recent months about how important the Academy and scouting system has to be in the near and long-term future.

 

Montgomery first lined up Roman Pavlyuchenko for Blues before he joined Spurs – relegation in 2008 put paid to that move – and recommended a young Didier Drogba to West Ham United.

 

He was also a prime behind-the-scenes mover in getting Charles N’Zogbia lined up this summer (he snared him for Newcastle from Le Havre), had Moussa Dembele under scrutiny for more than two years and has been involved in some way in most of Blues’ transfers.

 

“We’ve got three Slovenian under-21 internationals, two Portugal under-19 internationals, a French under-18 international and a Swiss under-17 coming over in January for us to have a look at,” he said. “So it’s not only about the established players but the younger ones too.”

9 years today since we beat Arsenal at Highbury, probably my favourite result last decade

 

bloody hell..... time just flew by.  :kasper:

 

Wasn't the win at Leeds the game after or before as well? I was only 13 at the time but remember my parents being very concerned with my blood pressure after the Leeds game.

Madrid press starting to turn on Mou, As and Marca running several editorials against him today. The circus is on.

 

Strange as the fans were singing his name during the latter part of the yestedays game. The Madrid press usually follow the fans viewpoint via the club who feed the papers.

Other way around actually. Madrid press has always tried to direct fan opinion.

 

They are mostly focusing on his style and the bad reputation he's bringing to the club. Nobody calling for his sack or anything (would be mental even for them).

Find it weird how we play City twice before we even play Spurs once. I know we play them straight after City, but does this happen every year with two certain teams?

 

Yes i think its relatively common.

 

In the early days of the PL, teams would often have two fixtures against a certain club before October was out. Dont ask me why.

It would be an amusing story if it wasn't from the Sun. Purely because every damn article that involves Steve McLaren with them HAS to have 'McLaren, dubbed the Wally with the Brolly after his stint with England' thrown into it somewhere. Every damn time, gets so old.

ENIC have converted their 56247 preference shares into over 87.8m ordinary shares which means they now own 86% of the total ordinary shares issued.

 

Those that know more about these matters than me say that is good for ENIC if

 

a) they were thinking about paying dividends or

 

b) they were thinking about selling up.

 

 

Probably got nothing to do with it but ENIC have been in talks with the Qatari Royal family regarding naming rights for the new stadium wherever that is built and 'other matters of mutual interest'.
