I missed the last three months of the Premiership season, so I'm wondering during those three months did Johnson suddenly become world class? Because for that kind of money he ruddy well better be. F*ck me, I hate the silly season.

I'll still be getting Modern Warfare 2, as Homefront isn't out until 2010 so there's no reason to not get both. Obviously this is dependent upon the reviews they receive.

Demanding £200k a week is taking the p*ss, hopefully he's just chancing his arm.

Some of those are stinkers. Great fun though.

These have been on heavy rotation for the past month or so. Sparkadia - Postcards Lady Of The Sunshine - Smoking Gun The Butterfly Effect - Final Conversation Of Kings Doves - Kingdom of Rust

We play them on the 5 December (Away) and 27 February (Home).

I can't edit my post to get rid of it.

Here's the fixtures concerning the "BIG FOUR". Manchester United v Arsenal (29th Aug) CHELSEA v Liverpool (3rd Oct) Liverpool v Manchester United (24th Oct) CHELSEA v Manchester United (7th Nov) Arsenal v CHELSEA (28th Nov) Liverpool v Arsenal (12th Dec) Arsenal v Manchester United (30th Jan) CHELSEA v Arsenal (6th Feb) Arsenal v Liverpool (9th Feb) Manchester United v Liverpool (20th Mar) Manchester United v CHELSEA (3rd Apr) Liverpool v CHELSEA (1st May)

More than happy with Hull at home. Man Utd got Birmingham and Liverpool are at Spurs.

I reckon we'll Wolves away for the first game, I also think we'll get Liverpool away within the first month.

That's a mighty big call there sir. No doubt The Hobbit will be a great film but I don't think it will be better than the LOTR trilogy. And yes the process is called animatronics.

The thing with Tevez is he plays as a second striker and his tireless running and willingness to track back is a highly commendable quality, sure he wasn't prolific at Manure, but he did score some important goals and I'm sure he could go on to be a 20+ goals a season player if played regularly.

Saw this last night on Good Game (ABC2 in Australia) during a report from E3, it looks proper tasty. Fingers crossed it plays as well as it looks.

Exactly. I thought the picture was pretty self explanatory to be honest.

This picture speaks volumes.

I'd be happy if we signed Tevez, although I would prefer Aguero. Both of them together would be very nice.

B3.

I don't know how reliable this information is, but it's staggering if true. "Real are expected to offer a structured deal starting at £183,000-a-week, but with a 25 per cent rise every season seeing his pay soar above half a million pounds every week in the final year of his contract."

Ronaldo at his best...

For me one of the worst referees to ever officiate a game. Just need Howard Webb to do one now. One of the most controversial referees to officiate in the Premier League over the past decade, Rob Styles, has decided to end his officiating career early. A resignation letter from Styles is expected to arrive at the FA today, calling time on a 22-year career which began in the Wessex League. Former Premier League referee Graham Poll said he was 'saddened but not surprised' by the decision. Poll, who himself retired from officiating in the Premier League in 2007, told the Daily Mail: "He cared deeply about his refereeing, dedicating himself to serving the game he loves. However, the fact that the majority of the football-watching public will merely shrug their shoulders in indifference at this news or say 'Good' proves the lack of understanding of the modern referee." In recent years, 45-year-old Styles attracted criticism for his decisions in a number of the Premier League's highest profile matches, notably Liverpool's match against Chelsea at the beginning of the 2007-08 season, when he awarded a disputed penalty to Chelsea before showing Michael Essien two yellow cards without sending him off. In the 2008-09 season, Styles awarded Manchester United a penalty against Bolton when Cristiano Ronaldo was challenged fairly by Jlloyd Samuel in the area. Ronaldo and his team-mates did not seem to appeal for a foul before Styles awarded the penalty to the astonishment of Bolton's players. He was roundly criticised for making an incorrect decision in the following days. Styles who is also on Fifa's list of referees, officiated in the 2005 FA Cup final at the Millennium Stadium between Arsenal and Manchester United. Styles Retires Early (Guardian)

How much do you think we'll get for him? I'm guessing around £3-£4million if we're lucky.

Goodbye and good riddance. Here's hoping that some of the money will be going towards paying off the Glazer's debt. We really need to pull our finger out and get any potential signings wrapped up.

Come on Chelsea hurry up and make it so. Aguero is class and him signing for us would send out a massive statement of intent. Lets just hope those b*stards at Citeh don't come in and gazump us again.

Darius Finley was shot once in the chest after the pair struggled with the weapon at their home in Marshall County, northern Mississippi. Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson said: "The younger brother allegedly got mad because he got beat at some video games and got the gun." He said his brother, De-Andre Finley, initially said he never touched the gun. But after more questioning, the older boy admitted the weapon accidentally went off as the two struggled over it. "That version we can live with because it's consistent with the evidence," Mr Dickerson said. He said the shotgun was too long and heavy for the younger boy to hold it against his chest and pull the trigger. "That's the reason it raised red flags," he added. He said the boys' father was outside mowing the lawn at the time of the incident. A post-mortem is to be carried out, and the shotgun has been removed from the scene for testing. Mr Dickerson added: "Upon arrival we found a nine-year old child laying face down in the bedroom of the home. The shotgun was near where the child was laying, and casing to the opposite side of where the child was laying." Police said it is unlikely the older brother will be charged because he is under 13, and "it appeared to be an accident anyway". Boy Shoots Brother Dead In Video Game Row
