Ever when Mark Hughes, a former ManUtd legend who helped us achieve European glory, was announced at Eastlands I knew things would quickly deteriorate and ‘Sparky’ was on a path to destroy his status with the ManUtd fans. During his first press conference at The Council House he answered that he ‘had played for other teams as well‘ when asked if he thought there would be problems between him and Manchester United. Now he managed to drag our favourite whiner to the other side of town. But things are becoming totally ridiculous. Rumours say that Adebayor already passed a medical at Eastlands and will sign at City for a reported fee of £25m. That is still not enough for Sparky. Realizing that City has only invested in offensive talent he has been flirting publicly with Mr. Chelsea. sadly a reported weekly fee of £250k still haven’t convinced John Terry to move to a club who even did not qualify for the UEFA cup under Hughes and the City manager not has to beg publicly to convince the England international and Skipper, AKA Mr. Slippery, to make the move to Eastlands:

We would like to think we could offer him a different challenge

No truer word could be spoken in matters of challenges. Instead of challenging for the European Champions League titel Terry would have to compete to qualify for the UEFA cup, possibly using backdoors such as the Intertoto or Fair Play challenges. The whine continues: Continue reading »

Over here at ManUtd Blog we love JT because he’s always good for some funny lines or slippery. JT certainly is a great defender but one has to wonder if the international £40m worth is. Especially since City seems to aim at Champions League football any time soon but still struggles in the offensive department. Last season the skyblues managed to capture a player who went signed for the wrong squad and for a long time didn’t show his immense talent because of the attitude ‘We’ll never win anything’.

Now the Prem has well started, it’s time to have a first look at our Fantasy Footie League.
We have 32 participants, competing for the $500 prize, so far. Of course it’s never too late to join in and much can change quickly in this game.

After 6 gameweeks, Funky Toon F.C. and Riverdale United have taken a clear early lead, and Funky Toon F.C. could still score points today when Newcastle tries to add another victory to their not too bad balance this year. After the jump, at the end of the entry, a screenshot of the Top #20 so far.

With the Champions League starting tomorrow, of course we also launch another league, for the UCL only.
