Who is Vincenzo Morabati? Spin doctor or rogue agent.

This is the person who is behind 80% of all transfer rumours doing the rounds today. Including the latest “Crouch to replace Adebayor” you may have read this morning. If an agent’s job is to stir shit up, then this guy is the man for you, one of the best shit stirrers around. Besides the [...]

Nothing official on Flamini… Yet

It’s the 1st of May and there’s been no official word as to the future of Flamini. As far as I am concerned he’s off and taking Hleb with him. In as much as we would all like them to stay, I say it’s time for us to move forward. There are going to be [...]

Much ado about nothing

Two days later and I still find defeat against the sp*rs hard to swallow, here’s my thoughts. 1.) We need to remember that whilst it would be good to win a trophy the Carling cup is just “further education for those players ahead of reserves but not ready for the first team. It was never [...]
