I know this is not a massive story. But this is so refreshing. Antonio Valencia is so content with life at the club, felt that he no longer needed his agent. If only there were more players who didn't live life in the pockets of those who "represent" them.

That is a big blow. Rumor has it he tripped over his blow drier cord while doing his new hair. Ok, so I made that up. What is going on over there? Seems like everyone is picking up a knock.

This explains the "mystery illness" and his failure to return to form. I wish him well in his recovery.

Relatedly, what does this mean for the January transfer window or Phil Jones as a full-time midfielder?

A true legend of the Premier League. Promising manager too. Far too yound at 42. Shocked!

I guess we'll see what comes from the hearing, but not looking good for Suarez at this time. Apparently they found something (perhaps his comments in Uruguay) to substantiate the claim.

Much has been made by manager Sir Alex Ferguson's comments yesterday that insisted Rio Ferdinand is no longer an automatic first-choice selection. According to a report by ESPNSoccernet, a source has told them that Rio has no intention to leave Manchester United during the January transfer window. He has recently been linked with Spurs or a move to the United States to possibly play in the MLS.

This is a link to the fanshot on Anfield Asylum. It has interesting implications league wide (although I personally don't agree with it). Thought you gents Mancs might like it.

Apparently earning a salary of €4 million is not enough to pay for a doughnut...
