Sol Campbell’s departure from Notts County was the most predictable football story of the season so far. The prospect of a recent Premier League regular plying his trade in League Two was an unlikely scenario, but the chances of the big fish sticking at it in a little pond for too long were particularly slim considering the individual involved.County fans can join the growing list of supporters disgruntled by Campbell’s own inimitable transfer market conduct. The anger and disappointment felt by Spurs fans has obviously not been matched, but it...

Walked in the office today, said hello to Patrick (Spurs Season Ticket Holder) and started discussing last nights game.Paddy is a great lad, but it does annoy me how he (and others) can be so bleak. He's Spurs through and through, yet hates Crouch. Now, I can understand some Spurs fans not getting behind our players, but this guy dislikes Crouchie with such a passion."But Paddy, the guy got a Hat-trick last night!?""What do I care if he got three...

Everyone I know has already written us off in this one. Chelsea are looking strong at the moment, really strong. As Harry said, they've got players in their squad that can bully us and as far as I'm concerned, I can see it coming down to how we marshal Drogba and Anelka.If we let them out-power us, then it could be a rout. Harry stated that we've got to take the game to them. I completely agree with him. We don't want to show them too much respect and have to "park the buss in front of their goal".Their movement under Ancelotti has been superb....

The Chelsea monkey is well and truly off our backs, so now is the perfect time to go to Stamford Bridge with confidence. The defeat against Manchester United has guaranteed complacency will not be a problem, but with four wins under our belts we should still head west with nothing to fear. Stamford Bridge is no longer the fortress it once was – Liverpool and Arsenal both won there last season – and the players have the confidence of knowing they took four points from Chelsea last term. The key is to stay on the attack. Three of Chelsea’s five...

Okay, so we lost at home to the Premier League champions. From where I was sitting in the Shelf, it looked as though we held our own. Unfortunately for us, sloppy defending cost us in the long run as did losing Sgt. Wilson. I suppose the only thing I could take from the game was the need for another hard midfielder sitting in alongside Palacios. Huddlestone did an okay job, but in games like this, we need an experienced head, someone who can take the game by the scruff of the neck, a Joe Jordan type character if you will. Defoe took his goal brilliantly....

The Premier League is back! I really can't stand international breaks. We were finally getting into some sort of rhythm, then we have to stop for two weeks so England can play two games.Fair enough Azza did well and looks to have cemented his spot in Fabio's plans. A few guy's in the office still think Wright-Phillips is the better player. Specsavers, if you're listening, their names are Dan Kimlio and Freddy Tunridge.Today we host Manchester United at the Lane, which means that their supporters won't need to travel far for this game. I'll...

Who said that Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard can't play together? After watching tonight's International home tie against Croatia, it's plainly obvious that they can. Both players got two goals apiece as England ran riot against a Croatia team lacking our own stars, The Modfather and Charlie.Lennon started the match and had an outstanding first half; getting fouled in the box which led to Lampard scoring from the spot for his first and then sending in a peach of a cross onto the head of Gerrard, which put England two up. To be fair, it looked...

David Beckham will move to a club in Europe during the January transfer window. Everyone said that he would be moving to Chelsea, but after their ruckus with FIFA, I can't see that on the cards. Redknapp has gone on record and said how much he likes David Beckham. I'm sure he would love him at The Lane just for the status and excess baggage he brings with him. If Harry pulled this one off, where would David play?Forget him on the right, or left for that matter. I don't think he's better that Huddlestone in the middle of the park either. Beckham...

It looks like a few teams in the Premier League could suffer a fair bit when the African Cup of Nations 2010 kicks off on Sunday, January 10th 2010. The competition, which always coughs up some great entertainment, will see approximately 27 Premier League players set off for Angola.Which clubs are going to suffer? I've listed the teams that will compete in the group stages with their respected Premier League players below.Teams playing in the group...

It looks as though Chelsea have been banned from signing any new players up until 2011! FIFA have thrown the book at them as regards the Gael Kakuta affair.Thing is, when FIFA try to impose the rulebook like they have on this occasion, I can see Chelsea appealing and winning. There's no justice in the game today. I may be jumping the gun, but I can see FIFA rescinding their proposed 2 season ban on signing players to a slap on the wrist, or at worst, a suspended sentence.Either way, this has caused some great banter in the office. Any thoughts...

Peace and quiet at last. The transfer window has been closed and we'll be without proper football until September 12th. It's like pre-season all over again. All, at the moment, seems well at our great club. Harry's brought in Niko for a snip and we've not had a mass exodus of players. I'm not sure how close Bentley was to moving up north, but I'm fairly pleased that he's stuck around. I suppose using London Transport appeals more to Mr. Brylcreem than having been seen on Manchester's tram's. He owes a lot to us, the club and especially himself....

So I'm in the office, minding my own business, when a fellow Yid and colleague, Rob, comes up to my office and tells me that Martin Petrov is undergoing a medical."Great" I say.About an hour later, Rob comes back and tells me that Petrov has failed his medical due to a problem with his knee. When I asked him for he source, he told me he heard the info from Steve, who I know to be an oracle regarding City.If anyone other than Steve, in our media department, can vouch for this piece of news, please let us all know.COYS!!!PS. Has Niko Kranjčar signed...
It looks like it's official, well, sort of. I am a follower of Harry Redknapp on Twitter, as are another 270+. Now, I can't be sure that it's really Harry, but some of the things he has said in his tweets sort of confirm that it is him.In a tweet sent this morning, Harry said the following;"I'd like to let you know that we have agreed terms with Niko. He'll have his medical today at around 9."There was no other word from him in relation to this, but it looks as though we have got our man. Plus there's all the other quotes that we've all read...
