It will be interesting to see if Leeds fans can come up with the money to buy the club.  Virtually all of the supporter-owned clubs are quite small so the finances required for a club like Leeds would be huge in comparison.  It would be a really difficult challenge but with all the dodgy owners they have had, at least they would know they were making decisions in the interest of the club and not the owner.

 

I would be so wrong for someone like Cellino to succeed in getting them promoted and getting their hands on all that Premier League money.

 

It seems to be a trend these days for potential foreign owners to buy Championship clubs with the aim of getting them into the Premier League - must cheaper than buying the likes of us, Villa or Everton.

Tottenham youngster Zenon Stylianides played in an U21 game on Friday despite knowing his sister's death was imminent and she sadly passed away 10 minutes into the match.

 

The 17-year-old started in Spurs' 3-1 win over Chelsea having been told by his mother on the journey to the game that his older sibling Debi did not have long to live.

 

Debi is understood to have been suffering from blood cancer for the last two years, and Stylianides released a touching tribute to her, revealing that they were able to speak shortly before her death.

 

He said on Twitter: "The journey before arriving at [the] game receiving a call from my mum [to] say my sister is going to die, happy to have spoke to her, unfortunately passing away 10 mins into the game.

 

"Taking a vital risk on willing to play and tell my coach I'm playing, having to win and having to put pressure on myself as well as mum and dad saying "do it for Deb", and Deb your luck helped.

 

"Won for you, Love you big sis. Rest in Paradise."

 

A Tottenham spokesperson said on Sunday: "We are aware of Zenon and his family's tragic loss and are doing everything we can to support him at this difficult time."

 

Edmonton-born Stylianides has been part of Tottenham's academy since he was seven years old and was a regular for the U18s last term.

 

He has successfully stepped up to the U21s this season after several substitute appearances towards the end of the last campaign.

Ex-England star in shock marriage split from X Factor dancer just FOUR months after his wedding

 

The Mirror

By Simon Boyle

 

Former England and Man United ace Alan Smith has split from his X Factor dancer wife – just four months after a glitzy wedding.

 

The footie ace and Kristina Macmillan looked the perfect happy couple as their big day was splashed across the front of a glossy mag.

 

But friends have claimed Alan has walked out on Kristina, who has appeared on the X Factor and previously dated Strictly star Peter Andre.

 

And heartbroken Kristina believes another woman is involved in the break-up.

 

A permanent split is feared likely and a pal said divorce proceedings would be complicated due to the footballer's "considerable wealth".

 

Smith, 34, and Kristina, 29, spent a fortune on a vintage-themed wedding at Peckforton Castle, Cheshire.

 

Photos in Wedding Ideas magazine’s July edition captured the nuptials.

 

A source said: “It was a stunning day, everything you would expect from a celebrity wedding, and they had both been looking forward to it so much."

 

But the source added: "Kristina is absolutely devastated. It's heartbreaking, and a very difficult time for her. She is still in the family home, and struggling to believe that this has happened so soon after the happiest day of her life."

 

Alan, known to fans by his nickname Smudge, played 19 games for England.

 

Before signing for Manchester United he was a cult figure at Leeds and went on to play for Newcastle.

 

Currently with Notts County , he is famed as a battler – a hero to his own fans and a villain to rival supporters.

 

As well as X Factor, Kristina, has appeared in West End shows like Grease and Mamma Mia.

 

A representative for the couple said: “Mr and Mrs Smith are keen to avoid speculation about these private and personal issues because of the potential to cause upset and distress.

 

"They will be making no further comment.”

 

At NUFC he was "a villain to his own fans and a hero to rival supporters".

Koscielny

Clichy

 

Navas

Westwood

Henderson

Milner

 

Oscar

 

Giroud

 

Honorable mentions/ subs

 

Don't really like Ozil either, even though he's class these days. Chicharito or whatever that little tranny is called is is up there. Agbonlahor is another one. He looks and sounds like a mong and is total garbage. Glenn Whelan. Pelle at Southampton - looks like a woman. Darren Fletcher - never rated him and he shits himself. Not that the latter is his fault. It's amusing though. Brad Guzan. Aaron Ramsey.
