Birmingham goalkeeper Ben Foster has made himself unavailable for England duty for an indefinite period to help prolong his club career.

 

The 28-year-old has been the number two to Manchester City's Joe Hart since last year's World Cup but has had a series of injury problems.

 

Foster said: "Performing at the highest level game in, game out... really takes it out of your body.

 

"I'm certainly not closing a door on the international side forever."

 

More to follow.

"Incidentally, it’s called The Poznan because City played a team called Lech Poznan earlier this season and their fans did the same dance – we just named it in their honour!"

 

It's called 'The Poznan' cos you stole it off them, you kernts.

I just don't see what Neil Lennon has done wrong. Outspoken? Most certainly. But managers like that all over world & they don't get attacked

Probably posted somewhere else, but worth me saying FUCK OFF again..

 

Stoke's fans will make more noise than Manchester City at Wembley this weekend - but Liverpool are apparently the Premier League's loudest.

 

Stoke have been famously dubbed the Premier League's loudest fans ever since Sky Sports measured the noise levels in every ground in 2008.

 

However, unofficial research by website Peter's Fan Chants claims that, while the Potters are still among the league's most noisy, Liverpool now top the standings after raising their levels by nearly 40% since Kenny Dalglish took over as manager.

 

Manchester United, Aston Villa, Everton, Blackpool and Stoke trail Liverpool in the league, while Fulham, West Brom and Wolves sit at the bottom.

 

While Stoke can expect to make more noise than Manchester City during Saturday's FA Cup final, Wembley's accoustics

 

Michael Dennis, Peter's Fan Chants managing director said: "While this survey is not scientific, we have taken a series of measurements on the terraces of each club's home ground and averaged this out across games and the season.

 

"Contrary to what you might expect with its much larger ground, Manchester City fans are quieter at 71 decibels than Stoke City (83 decibels).

 

But Wembley Stadium, acoustically, doesn't help the fans and they sound muted compared to their home ground terraces.

 

"But because each club is allocated roughly the same number of tickets, both sets of supporters will have a level playing field and the opportunity to demonstrate that they are the loudest."

 

Full table, according to Peter's Fan Chants:

 

1 Liverpool 97 decibels

 

2 Man Utd 94

 

3 Aston Villa 89

 

4 Everton 86

 

5 Blackpool 85

 

6 Stoke 83

 

7 Newcastle 82

 

8 West Ham 81

 

9 Chelsea 80

 

10 Sunderland 80

 

11 Arsenal 77

 

12 Wigan 72

 

13 Man City 71

 

14 Tottenham 70

 

15 Blackburn 67

 

16 Birmingham 70

 

17 Bolton 69

 

18 Wolves 69

 

19 West Brom 67

 

20 Fulham 65
