Hull reputedly wanted James Beatty but Stoke got in there first. Stoke are rhapsodising about BT's goalscoring class but appear to have forgotten his Premier League scoring record was distinctly unimpressive prior to Bryan Robson getting him to Bramall Lane. And about half the 12 goals he has got this season for Sheffield United have been penalties or directly from free kicks. And yes all of that is sour grapes - I wish he'd stayed!

Well it's a decent write-up but how the media spin stories is not as influential on results as applying the right kind of pressure on refereeing officials. I noted a slight nervousness in Rafa when he made his ground breaking revelations last Friday and I'm sort of glad he has done his warm-up in January rather than shaking like a lamb come the Spring, when it really will be gloves off or usually is for Fergie.


This is the take from Patrick Barclay - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/4213791/Managerial-mind-games-do-not-decide-titles-but-FA-must-deal-with-Sir-Alex-Fergusons-careless-remarks.html

So, Man City don't want Kaka any more, or they do and he wants clauses in his contract that Mansor will keep the club, they will have Champions League football in two years (don't make me laugh), they keep Robinho and he retains all his image rights. All that and ?175M. I think I'd put up with a bit of rain for that.


Oh, and Rooney is out for three weeks. That should help ease the selection crisis.

I can understand the owners of Man City wanting to fast track their new team but the figures quoted over Kaka seem too vulgar even for Premiership football.

I'm not making any predictions this weekend as they never come true!


As for Liverpol v Everton at Anfield on Monday night, Liverpool have an abysmal record against Everton in these rare night time Anfield derbies, losing the last 3 times, stretching over 21 years.


However, the last time Liverpool played this sequence of games, of an Anfield league derby proceeding an FA Cup Anfield derby, the Reds came out 3-1 winners... but 10 days later the manager quit..

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
