heheh, can't believe I said that with Rooney up front in my Fantasy side. 8 points so far.

Zoot: They really aren't missing him much eh?

Just wait until Carrick (and Hargreaves?) start playing

As a Hammers fan I hate to see our juniors playing anywhere else, especially given the circumstances of the exodus when Harry got the boot. He's good though, no doubt. So many young un's left WH to really go on. Wish they'd have stayed on (not realistic I know) so we could see if that generation could have had a "ManU" effect like when Scholes, Neville, Giggs, Beckham, etc all came through together.

Good luck to him nonetheless. Hope Hargreaves doesn't cop the crap he gets in an England shirt from the supporters. He's a bloody hard worker that one.

Looks like Juventus have been handed a bigger penalty for their part in the Italian match fixing scandal.

Apparently Arsenal have offered Mr Tweedy to Newcastle - who are not keen.
Shame, as the missus will be at home, and Ashley would have had Jermaine Jenas to play with again if he wasn't at Sp*rs...allegedly

Ipswich have signed Martin Brittain from Newcastle on a one year deal after he spent a couple of weeks at the club. Anyone know anything at all about him?

Right sided midfield player, out of the academy here. Didn't look horribly out of place in his appearances over the last season and a half, I think he got a lot of bench time, several sub appearances and one or two starts. Good move for both sides if he finds his feet there I think - not out of the question he could step up to replace Solano in a few years (if not exactly likely either).

From the back of the Gallowgate, he appears to have an uncanny resemblance to Matthew Hoggard.

I'd take him over Babayaro, but I can't see us getting within a billion miles of his wage demands if we wouldn't pay Â£35k to Bernard.

But I still think Bernard was the best left-back in the Premiership at that time, so what do I know...?

He was an out-of-shape wreck with Rangers last season.

Radio 1 reporting Martins as saying Newcastle deal is Â£11m and 80% done...
