Vandersaar out for 8 weeks including the Community Shield on Sunday. Finger broken against Bayern has been operated on and he will not play until October sorry Devils fans....

Pompey on the Brink. No Buyer - Player car boot sale - no dough. David Nugent and Marc Wilson brawled with steel coat hanger rails ripped from their hotel rooms after a 5am bust up on the turps. They will be disciplined in house.

Arsenal interested in Soloman Kalou - GG says come and take the useless pr!ck.

Reals Spending has now hit £220M so far with £30M for Alonso in Rafa's back pocket to splash.

Spurs ended up with £15M for Bent - nice coin for a pretender.

That's all for now.

Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium... great game. France full of individual brilliance but we played as the better team perhaps. We have avoided the opening round thrashing of the last two

Seems to have been revised down to 10m - still overpriced, but a bit more realistic after last year's horror show.

Indeed KW. Went from 13 to 15 to 10. Danile Levy tough negotiator. Niall Quinn better I'd say....

Wigan have just signed striker Scott Sinclair on a season-long loan from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Spurs miss out on Hunterlaar - off to AC Milan.

Tevez injured in the Man City shower, slipped over trying to pick up the soap could face tests next week to be fit. Knew The Devils fans will love to hear that one..... Wonder who tried to ram one into him? Ha!!!

Man City lost 3-2 to Rangers last night as well.

CHELSEA’S hopes of signing Andrea Pirlo are over after AC Milan insist he is not for sale

Lyn Oslo 0 Liverpool 2

ALBERT RIERA gave Liverpool an injury scare on the day the Reds lost Xabi Alonso

Reminds me of the story of Leeds when they were "living the dream" of the player who wanted 10k per week, was hoping for 20k and nearly bit their hand off when he was offered 40k straight off the bat......

i'm a toon 'fan' (bandwagon 96/97, Shearer,etc..), and if i had a spare 100mil i would not touch them with a 10 foot pole..

the club is cursed. simple as that..

Well ferk me STT - Looks like someones got a barge pole after all!!!

Good news so far for ya buddy - The Bloke that had the distribution rights for that singing fish on a board - Big Mouth Billy Bass for those xmas sales a few years ago seems to have deep pockets and could bail out the Toon.

BARRY MOAT made his fortune out of a singing fish. Now he is close to talking his way into a £100million buy-out of Newcastle. Big Mouth Billy Bass was one the best sellers when Moat was at the helm of North East company Premier Direct.

Weekend wrap up:

Chelsea v Man U Community shield 2-2. Chelsea win 4-1 on pens. Rooney late equaliser forced the shootout which saw Giggs and Evra fluff shots and hand the Blues the first domestic silverware of the season.

Kops Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres both limped off with minor ankle injuries in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at home to Atletico Madrid.

SEBASTIEN BASSONG hit all the right notes for his new Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp yesterday. The centre-back, who arrived for an initial £8million last week from Newcastle, shone as Greek champs Olympiacos were slain 3-0 at the Lane

Transfer - Liverpool agree deal £20M for former Roma Midfielder Aquilani. Oddly wont play for at least 4-8 weeks from Ankle surgery though.

Aston Villa have confirmed that they have signed Habib Beye from Newcastle on a three-year deal.

Hull face a fight to keep Michael Turner away from Liverpool, who have been linked with Ryan Shawcross, while Gary Cahill is staying at Bolton.

5 days to go now.

Christ!! :o

I remember that darn singing fish. I know someone who received one as a birthday gift. Needless to say, the novelty wore off after about 2 minutes...

So this bloke is a mate of Mike Ashley's huh? That'll go down well with the locals who've wanted to lynch Ashley for the past 12 months. :lol:

Ah well, another lamb to the slaughter eh? ;)

Cheers for wrap up GG. Chelsea too good on penalties. How was Sir Alex, I heard he nearly blew a gasket on the sidelines!

Better than that pal - penned a 3 year deal!

Todays Wrap:

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is planning to hold talks with Bayern Munich over a £40million deal for Franck Ribery. Can Chelsea persuade Bayern to sell according to the Sun?

Manchester City are ready to make a final offer of £20million-plus for Everton defender Joleon Lescott, although most papers claim Mark Hughes will look to sign West Ham centre-half Matthew Upson.

Hull have signed Stephen Hunt from Reading.

Noticed on Fox Sports last night, Lucas Neill still doesn't have a club. He's got West Hams's offer, but he's weighing up two other offers, one of them is believed to be Kewell's side in Turkey. He's taking his time, will settle his decision within the next week.

Any fellow ManU fans out there with worries about Owen? How he didn't go for a sidestep around the goalie in his last attack was beyond me. He's lost a yard which is expected and the club has been a bit prudent with the wallet but still expected better instinct there in an experienced player.

Makes me ill just thinking it but I reckon Chelsea will be the team to beat this season for the LC.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
