Chievo is the banana skin there, they have an excellent defence, especially away from home.

I managed to watch Milan against Palermo yesterday, Milan have been such a poorly run club, it's a shame to be honest, as their history deserves better. Whoever makes the decisions with regards to transfers should really be ashamed of themselves.

I like the look of that Pastore for Palermo, I doubt he'll go to the world cup but he's definitely one to watch, his arrival in Europe hasn't gathered too much press (outside of Italy), but he's definitely a top player and he won't be spending too much time at Palermo.

ITK info here...

No surprise who has won PFA Player of the Year.

The Young Player of the Year is slightly more surprising, but well deserved in my opinion.

I can't even remember who was in contention. 'Wazza' obviously has the player of the year, but the YPOTY will probably go to Milner or Fabregas, although I'm pretty sure someone said Rooney was in for that as well, which wouldn't make much sense if he won one but not the other.

He was in contention for both but only won one. I found it odd too.

Both had good seasons

Surely 24 is knocking on a bit for YPOTY? What is the official cut off point?

Ashley Cole, Lampard and Malouda will be very annoyed tonight I would think. Evra, Fletcher and Valencia in particular are strange inclusions considering the form that the three Chelsea players mentioned have shown.

I'd hope that none of the Chelsea players give a toss over their failure in end of season popularity contests. They need to concentrate on making sure they have league champion and FA cup winning medals.

The boundaries are 24 and under before the start of the season, I think.

I think Fabregas has been better than Milner, easily, but he isn't English.

Liverpool are signing Jonjo Shelvey from Charlton.

The average Fletcher and Valencia in team of the season...unbelievable.

I didn't know we were so damn good.

All I have heard yesterday and today is that Chelsea will have a very hard game at Anfield, Liverpool this and Liverpool that, makes a change from top 4 blah blah Rafa's on borrowed time blah blah.

To be honest, Lampard should be in over Fletcher for sheer production levels, whilst I'd probably have had Malouda in the team over Valencia or Milner.

Hamburg have sacked their manager 3 days before their semi final with Fulham

i think evra has been far better then cole imo

A voice of reason wrote in the comments section:[iThis isn't really a story is it? If someone comes in for Jimmy, then the final payment will be made to facilitate the sale. Must be a slow news day.[/i

My thoughts exactly.

but who the hell would pay over 1m for a sick note

Probably Newcastle? Maybe? Perhaps? I had a £5 bet with my mate that they'd sign him. I was pi.ssed.

Why on earth didn't they put in a relegation wage drop? Thats some spectacular over confidence from a club that stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season

Because he wouldn't have signed for them if they tried?

The fact is that Bullard is a PL player and to get him to sign for you you've got to pay him PL money. If the club aren't good enough to stay in the PL then you'll have to sell him when the club go down, but there's no way Bullard would agree to staying at Hull in the Championship on reduced money for a few seasons when he could easily find another PL club.

It really is a non-story.

Let's be honest, there's no chance of you lot doing us a favour. And even if you do we'd probably lose at Sunderland the next day.

Would the yanks announce they are staying on if Liverpool sneaked 4th place? It seemed they decided to sell up when 4th looked out of the question, maybe a 4th place finish and the extra revenue it brings will make them think again?

I can see Liverpool beating Chelsea and United drawing at Sunderland. Both to win their final league game and the title goes to The Bridge.

How big will the City- Spurs game be. Winner to take 4th, a draw I think will mean Liverpool will get 4th.

Pretty sure they will make enough money for nothing once the club is sold.

I hope they choke on it.
