Talk Football Here... - Part 7

[MissKittyFantastico]

and boo'd at the end (but then again that could of been at the ref)

reminded me of our fans but our fans are worse

It was a bit of both I think

Fair enough we should have played better but I really can't stand when fans don't get behind the team and then bitch and moan that they're not playing with any fire, the crowd can be like a 12th man at games like today's.

Bring on the Villa! ;) I reckon it will end up a draw tbh, will be a tough game!

[30stone]

Jagielka was nothing short of amazing today i thought, i hope he goes world cup.

He is a great player vital, if you had him all season then you could be a bit higher.

For me hes better than distin and yobo by far.

[30stone]

Hope liverpool get 4th.

love to see tottenham or city completely fail in europe..

Wolves Captain Henry Calls Arsenal players "a disgrace"

After saying he should be sent off.
And they roll about on the floor to help it.


Well for me i disagree every team crowds the ref for a big desicion like that red cards or penalties.. there is always people up in the refs face.

As for rolling around on the floor i dont think he saw what he did to Rosicky.. it looked like it bloody hurt to me.


Mans just being bitter.

I've enjoyed the Toffee's/Villa games last couple of seasons, entertaining matches:).

Notts Forest vs Cardiff tomorrow on BBC2:D.. need a Cardiff win or a draw for WBA to be promoted;):thumbs:.

[30stone]

Puyol and Pique both miss The Arsenal game.

As does Ibrahimovic.

Iniesta Abidal and Alves all have slight knocks but should play.

[bbfan1991]

Rooney should be back for the Man City game:).

Nou Camp 2nd leg will be fab:D.

[30stone]

Carlo Anchelotti says man utd have no chance without rooney..

[bbfan1991]

Fcuk what Ancelotti says.. Fergie will find a way somehow:D.

[30stone]

Very entertaining end to the season.

But it is getting hard to look past chelsea

I said after they got knocked out of champions league that they would do well now.

They would be focused and more fit and will go out and dominate teams...

[bbfan1991]

Still plenty of twists and turns yet regarding the title race, this season has been brilliant:).

Come on Cardiff beat Forest please:D.

[bbfan1991]

Draw in that match.. obvious was going to happen but congrats to Newcastle who are coming back to the PL:). WBA need 2 more points to join them regardless of other results:hugesmile:.

[bbfan1991]

Cardiff's David Marshall and Anthony Gerrard had an on field bust up too with emotions running high:shocked:.

[bbfan1991]

Wayne Rooney ruled out for the Bayern Munich game, not a surprise since he's hoping to be back for Man City game.. not worth taking the risk:).

Good luck Arsenal tonight.. tbh I think Barcelona will win but still a chance the Gunners could pull it off:p.

[bbfan1991]

Magnificent Lionel Messi 4 goals:).. he and his pals tore Arsenal apart and Guardiola the tactics spot on. Messi is pure world class but the other players work just as hard and deserve the credit they get:hugesmile:.

Oh well couple of games now for the Gunners to try and win the league now:).

[bbfan1991]

Barca vs Inter semi final should be good:hugesmile:.

Looks like a second CL on the way for the Catalans but with all the twists and turns this season anything is possible..

[30stone]

Embarrasment..

4 goals for messi..

Knew we would be out, i said 3 - 1..

but 4 really?

[setanta]

Just watched a recording of the match after coming home from town. Diaby should have released Walcott at 1-0 and you never know, things may have been different. Having said that, there's not much you can do against a little genius like that when he's up for it.

[30stone]

Ashley Cole + Essien

Worked..

lol.

[30stone]

I like Almunia.. but sorry you can't do this..

oh god i know, it's the most annoying thing about gerrard he has a go at everyone for his mistakes! and marshall is very short fused and gerrard got aggressive and in his face for something which was his fault so no wonder marshy wanted to kill him!

[bbfan1991]

Nath did you see the papers linking Mark Hughes with Villa?, what a bunch of rubbish:rolleyes:.

Gerrard is to blame IMO he had a right shocker of a game:joker:.

Nearly there in terms of cementing a PO place;).

yeah haha, about time he scored as well!
i have zillions of videos and photos from saturday, mainly from full time when the stadium was absolutely rocking, but i can't upload them from my camera cos my laptop's broke :/ unless there's another way.

thought he played ok actually he should just know when to zip his lip.

oh don't say that it reminds me of last season :(

How gutting and on goal difference too last season:shocked:.

He's got to stop blaming others and if he's peed off about something then go to the manager about his concerns:).

[King Gizzard]

pride park was amazin on monday

the atmosphere was like a playoff game

Never been there but i've been to the Ricoh Arena:thumbs:.

[King Gizzard]

been to 4 ipswich games this season

coventry away, doncaster away, scunthorpe away, derby away

[bbfan1991]

James Milner fit for the Chelski match:p.

i know, i was at hillsborough that day and it ruined my fcking summer :(

he's always pissed off about something, he does my head in. i think he wants to be captain, but god knows why cos he'd be crap.

[Chels]

i've been to both pride park and the ricoh, off to pride park for derby away on the last day of the season too :)

Just need a couple more points now and keep focused to make sure it doesn't happen again;).

No chance of him taking over from MH:p.

Wonder if DJ already has some summer transfers lined up?:D.

[30stone]

GIBSON

1 - 0 united!

[bbfan1991]

yep tough run in, but i can't see us losing any of them tbh.

oh if DJ stripped my marky of the captaincy and gave it to that clown i'd assault them both lmao.

considering we're skintos i doubt it, let's hope that investment comes through soon! DJ has been inquiring about that young fella who scored the first goal for MU just now on loan though ;)

[King Gizzard]

wasnt even that greater goal by gibson, demichelis was just in the way of butts vision, if it wasnt for that, he would of got it


come on München!!

[bbfan1991]

Robben scores:bawling:.

[bbfan1991]

United are out then:(.

[bbfan1991]

Gutted:(.. United shouldn't have have sat back in the 1st leg, second half in this match no chances whatsoever we need to regroup in the summer.

Good luck to Bayern in the semis against Lyon.

[bbfan1991]

I'm looking forward to the Blackburn match now, need a good response:hugesmile:.

Hairdryer treatment certainly will be dished out in private:devil:.

[HeatherTWx]

That actually was a really good game to watch.
Well done Bayern, well played.
I'm not really gonna say much about Man Utd coz i'm a Liverpool fan and everything so i'll probably get grief like "You didnt even make it past the group stages" and all that crap so i won't say out :)

Too right you've got more important things to think about like 4th place race and Benfica at Anfield:).

[setanta]

Oh Rafael, Rafael- what the feck were you thinking, or were you even thinking? And that first goal that United conceeded before half time was an absolute disaster.

[bbfan1991]

Oh Rafael, Rafael- what the feck were you thinking, or were you even thinking? And that first goal that United conceeded before half time was an absolute disaster.

Still got a lot to learn;).

Fergie has got to make some changes to this squad in the summer now I hope because we all know how stubborn he can be:D.. a striker or two being top of the agenda first.

Nah, I think a creative midfielder is just as important to United right now. Carrick is not up to the challenge - never has been in my eyes and Giggs and Scholes are too old.

[bbfan1991]

Yes definetly a creative midfielder is what is needed too to get more attacking play and linking up to the forwards in the side:).

[Iceman]

rooney injured again. miss this weekends match.

[30stone]

I'm bored of the comparisions tbh, two totally different players who are great at what they do:hugesmile:.

Yes as tracking back etc rooney is better so his all round game, but my gosh messi is unstopable..

I do think he cliches "best player in the world" currently..

Along with others not far behind

Rooney
Ronaldo
Fabregas
Torres

[30stone]

Gibson is looking a very promising prospect, very versatile in where he can be played.. and has a wicked shot..

He he can tune that into free kicks too..

my mate won €95 on him scoring first today......we all going yeah yeah whatever and hes like no seriously this guy is going places fast..... i wish i had of taken his advice and put my money on him!

[King Gizzard]

Don't think Gibson is anything special

just got a good shot

[Iceman]

LOL i think the tag of tea is min in here haha

[King Gizzard]

i think it was when there was another tag ''liverpool win cups'' which has been since deleted so it doesnt make sense lol

[Raph]

Gutted for Manchester. They were unlucky against Chelsea, and really should've won against Bayern!

[Raph]

Bayern - Lyon
Barcelona - Inter

what are people's guesses?
I'm seeing a Lyon v Barcelona final tbh :cool:

[Iceman]

i think it was when there was another tag ''liverpool win cups'' which has been since deleted so it doesnt make sense lol

yeah that was it alright!

Bayern - Lyon
Barcelona - Inter

Barca v Lyon would be my guess too.

Lyon will do their business against Bayern at home. Barca will probably do the same, even if they lose in Italy (draw at the worst I reckon) I can't see it being heavy.

[King Gizzard]

Mike the creator of this glorious thread? :shocked:

Hello:). I like all 4 teams but I want it to be Barcelona vs Bayern Munich.

[Mike]

I would rather that definately, I just think Lyon will do them over, whatever happens both games will be interesting. Just a shame there's no English teams left.

[bbfan1991]

No doubt Platini and Blatter are happy about it:yuk::rolleyes:.

[MissKittyFantastico]

No doubt Platini and Blatter are happy about it:yuk::rolleyes:.

Haha that's exactly what my bf said last night. Bastards.

[King Gizzard]

I was well happy last night when Bayern won

I love bayern and hate United

but now thinking about it the cup wont be the same and there will be no interest in it

Bet sky sports and itv will lose loads of money and viewers

[bbfan1991]

Haha that's exactly what my bf said last night. Bastards.

No doubt they will be hoping for Liverpool and Fulham to be knocked out of the Europa League next;).

Platini is standing again to be FIFA President for another 4 years:shocked:, hope someone else gets it lol:D.

[30stone]

Mike you legend!

Anyway i think Barca Bayern.

Want to see Barca smash it after beating Arsenal really, so its not as embarrasing for us...

Beaten by the team who destroyed every team..

[MissKittyFantastico]

No doubt they will be hoping for Liverpool and Fulham to be knocked out of the Europa League next;).

I'm rooting for Fulham now ;)

Platini is an asshole, so biased it's not even funny

[bbfan1991]

I'm rooting for Fulham now ;)

Platini is an asshole, so biased it's not even funny

Yeah Fulham or Valencia for me if they get through:D.

Rumours are he's a Lyon fan apparently:p.

[Raph]

I'm rooting for Lyon now! Although I do think Barca is the strongest team left.

[bbfan1991]

Liverpool only need 1 goal to go through:xyxwave:.

Yeah Fulham or Valencia for me if they get through:D.

Rumours are he's a Lyon fan apparently:p.

Yeah Fulham / Valencia / Liverpool.

Celtic lost 2-0. Are you serious? F£cking hell.

[30stone]

Yeah they are ****! lol

[Gemmer-x]

YEY forest YEY chelski :D

[MissKittyFantastico]

Meh, wanted Villa to win today. Should have been given a frankly blatant penalty and Terry was lucky to stay on the pitch after that tackle, could have been really nasty.

Bit sloppy at times though and gave the ball away far too much, why O Neil brought Heskey on for Carew I have no idea....

I hope Pompey win tomorrow now and go on to win against Chelski in the final, unlikely but would be nice for them after the season they have had.

[King Gizzard]

That prick Webb strikes again! :hug:

i'm getting sick of coming so close in everything



buy a ****ing striker and creative midfield for once Mon for **** sake

[MissKittyFantastico]

At least you actually turned up today unlike us in the final last year :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

I'm much more angry than when we lost the 7-1

[MissKittyFantastico]

Is that because of the reffing or the way you played?

[King Gizzard]

both

we played quite terrible i thought

[MissKittyFantastico]

Tbh you didn't play like you were in a semi final :/ Gave the ball away far too much and defended poorly at times, I thought you were pretty well matched though most of the game tbf, if you'd got that penalty decision it could have been a different story.

Webb is an utter prick, best ref in the country my arse.

[bbfan1991]

WEST BROM boing boinging back to the PL again:D:dance::cheer::):thumbs::cool::hugesmile:.

I agree Webb is useless.
so is Phil Dowd, how these clowns are premier league referees is laughable.

Dowd almost cost us the game against Swansea!

don't worry you'll be relegated again next season :L

I echo that. It was so good to see their fans smiling again, you could just see how much it meant to them. I think most neutrals were backing them today.

Going into Administration has really gave Pompey more fight like Crystal Palace, been through the tough times but now working on getting the good times back and on track:).

[bbfan1991]

The last couple weeks of the season will go so quick, we'll see who's done what then up comes the transfer market frenzy plus rumours and speculation:hugesmile:.

[setanta]

What a terrible performance by United, which really highlighted the effect their Champions League exit has had on them,leaving a team totally bereft of ideas, passion or drive. Berbie has to go.

[30stone]

Hope Arsenal can beat tottenham capitalize on man utds loss.

ROBIN VAN PERSIE
is back to play against tottenham..

can't wait.

[30stone]

Cant wait for the transfer speculation...:)

[Chels]

Because hes a dick head.
Complete bellend..

But you know hes welsh lol.

how on earth is he a dickhead? if you read that interview he's the complete opposite!

that's not the reason why i love bellars, he's just so nice and genuine.

[30stone]

I just cant stand him, hes like some nasty little jack russell.

Always complaining, just not nice at all..



There was no need for his little outburst against john terry aswell nothing to do with him.

[30stone]

e0Q8YkfK7Bs

[Chels]

i can assure you he's lovely, he's been down here watching Cardiff often and he was at the Watford game last month, always happy to talk to our fans and sign stuff.

and I thought what he said about JT was hilarious lmao

[Chels]

and for that video the man utd fan was probably shouting abuse at him cos he scored, he deserved a clout for it.

and look at ferdinand gripping him by the throat, twat.

[30stone]

Ferdinands a cock to but sorry i just cant like bellamy..

[bbfan1991]

Got a feeling Spurs might win:D, not just because in the terms of the title race I want that result;).

Alot of papers are saying that Berbatov could be out the door this summer. Thank feck for that.

We would get half of the money back:D, oh well at least there will be money to spend to make changes to the squad in the summer.

Chelsea have the league won now IMO but we've gave it a right go and proved people wrong who said we would struggle without Ronaldo and played half the season with the defence injured and playing midfielders in there:D.

[bbfan1991]

Leeds 3-1 up still hope they get promoted despite their wobble:joker:.

Half the money if they're lucky! I think Carrick should be sold too, along with Ben Foster and Wes Brown. Need a bit of money to spend during the summer.

[bbfan1991]

Nah I would keep Wes tbh.. I like Anderson but i've got a feeling he will be sold:(. I would keep Carrick despite his form of late and as for Foster well Fergie seems to have faith in him.

We've been linked with Milner but I doubt that would happen. A couple of players do need to go now as this squad has been the same for a while now and have done great but it needs freshening up and changing more:).

Foster's their 3rd keeper and I think Van de Sar has at least one more season in him. Might as well cash in on him now. Anderson is young so he'll be kept. Carrick has been terrible and what is he, like 28 now? Perfect time to sell him. We need money to buy the right type of players. Brown is in his 30's now and will never get first team football for United.

Carrick has been terrible and what is he, like 28 now? Perfect time to sell him. We need money to buy the right type of players. Brown is in his 30's now and will never get first team football for United.

I think Brown will stay until he retires like Neville, Scholes and Giggs etc.

I think Fergie should consider buying a left back to give competition to and cover for Evra because he plays a lot of games and if he were to get injured theres not a natural player there apart from Fabio who's young and still got a lot to learn to do that job but you're right Fergie will probably be evaluating the squad now.

[setanta]

Nah, Brown's a good few years younger than Giggs and the rest of them so I'm sure he'd get a fairly reasonable price for him right now. Like I said, they need the money to sign good players.

I really like the idea of a Rooney and Villa partnership but £40 million is too much for a 28/29 year old if only Valencia put it down to £25 m:D. Looks like Benzema has apparently ruled out joining us too oh well he can rot on the Madrid bench then:joker:.

GK think we'll sign Igor Akinfeev from CSKA Moscow and as for midfielder nothing yet.

[bbfan1991]

Fernando Torres could be back next week.

Sol Campbell ready to play for Ze Gunners tomorrow against Spurs at White Hart Lane and Robin Van Persie will return too from injury.

Rafa Benitez' agent denies him having talks with Juventus.

Portsmouth to appeal against ban from playing in Europa League next season because of going into Administration, hope they are successful in getting it overturned:).

[bbfan1991]

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace insists the club will not break the bank to retain their top-flight status next season.

The Baggies will be back in the big time after securing an immediate return courtesy of a 3-2 weekend win at Doncaster Rovers.

West Brom are the proverbial yo-yo club and Peace has no problems with the team adopting a cautious approach financially next season.

Peace is keen for Roberto Di Matteo's squad to stay up and insists they will be creative as they look to find ways of bolstering the manager's budget.

Prudent
"We will be positive but we will remain relatively prudent," he admitted.

"Our number one priority is always to keep the club solvent while trying to compete successfully at the highest possible level.

"Everyone has seen football clubs get into dire financial difficulties in recent years but this will not happen at Albion on my watch. We will continue to be sensible and realistic.

"A club of our size, without a benefactor, can only spend a certain amount and we have to be more inventive in the way we use our comparatively limited resources."


Sensible but Baggies really need to stop the yo yo thing now and I hope they can stay up in the PL for more than one season but it's hard:).

[30stone]

David Villa should have moved when 25/26

This is true.

[setanta]

Van Persie is such a class act. Came on for 20mins and Arsenal looked like a different team. Brilliant player.

[30stone]

Like they said.

what if torres drogba and rooney were all out for 6 months.

He helped create the goal, he made a massive difference as soon as he come on.

11 Premier league games 7 goals 7 assists before his injury.

[30stone]

Gomez was amazing, seriously amazing, van persie was fantastic shooting, any normal keeper would have let at least 2 in.

[bbfan1991]

Well done Spurs:D.. Arsenal lost their game in hand but in terms of title race Chelsea have it won tbh.

Arsenal had lots of possession as expected but had not much shots on targets, where as Spurs msde the most of their chances when they got them.. Van Persie made the difference to the Gunners play when he came on but Spurs played well especially at the back and Arsenal were dominant at times.


Villa drew 2-2 against Everton:(, oh well at least they will be in top 6 again at least this season.

[Rob]

it's a good evening to be a spurs fan :)

[bbfan1991]

I just hope for a United win at Man City now:), second place is where we'll be finishing now so end the season on a high;).

[30stone]

For me...

Man united lose against man city
Chelsea lose at tottenham..

Then the table will look like this.

Chelsea 77
Arsenal 74
Man Utd 73

We would still be right in it?

But i cant see it, totenham were looking buggered toward the end, RVP was walking round them with ease.

[setanta]

Well, United play City first next Saturday, with Chelsea and Spurs being the late kick off, and every single one of them playing for something. Let the games begin.

I agree with Ben Arsenal would still be in it but I hope the United losing part of his post is wrong:p.

Rooney was supposed to be back for City match but i'm not sure if he'll be able to play?.

League 1 is interesting at the mo with the second promotion place up for grabs with Leeds, Millwall, Huddersfield and Swindon all fighting for it:).

[setanta]

If United beat City then Spurs will go all out against Chelsea. Two great games this weekend.

[bbfan1991]

Indeed Setanta:).

City are full of confidence and Spurs are close than ever to breaking into the top 4 so the top 2 will have it tough:D.

Wenger said before the game

"if he hadnt been injured he would be up there with rooney messi and ronaldo this season"

11 games 7 goals 7 assists.

I think Holland could be a good little bet to get far in the World Cup. Not the most difficult of groups anyway, and they've got such a strong midfield and attack.

Yep And after van persie had been playing upfront for us..
Holand have decided to play him as their out and out striker.

Rooney favourite for the PFA player of the year award!:D, so hope he wins even though there are others who deserve it too.

James Milner for young player award:thumbs:.

[30stone]

No idea how Fabregas wasnt in young player of the year last year...?

[30stone]

No offence but milner and hart havent really got much chance for player of the year. i dont reckon.

[30stone]

Ohh site i was reading had it wrong they are for young player lol.

[Claymores]

Rooney favourite for the PFA player of the year award!:D, so hope he wins

He was something outrageous like 1/16 odds-on with Skybet yesterday. Not just fave, a foregone conclusion in the minds of the bookies.

[bbfan1991]

The papers make me laugh with their obsession of Rooney to Madrid speculation:rolleyes:.. Rooney has said before he would never go there time and time again why can't they just accept it:D.

[30stone]

Rooney will win for sure..

Hes english, everyone wants him to get us the world cup given his current form..
He will win no doubt.


Fabregas for young player of the year... hes been the best by far out of the nominees for me makes the biggest difference.

[bbfan1991]

One thing that annoys me about Arsenal is how the players try and walk the ball into the net especially when they create lots of chances;).

WBA snub promotion party:(, at least the preparations for next season are underway:D.

[30stone]

I hate how they dont play forward balls on the 18 yard line when the defence is tight its not very good..

[bbfan1991]

Gunners defence does need sorting out.. at least you haven't had to play half the season with it injured though;). Ray Parlour reckons Arsenal need at least 2 more centre backs where that is concerned and to work on it.

Paul Scholes signs one year deal with Manchester United:).

Barclays Capital is to advise Liverpool on the sale of the club and Martin Broughton has been appointed as a new chairman at Anfield.

The debt-ridden Reds have been shrouded in uncertainty regarding the future of controversial co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett for the majority of the season, with reports linking numerous parties with a potential bid for the Premier League outfit.

Manager Rafa Benitez's status has been clouded by the financial insecurity on Merseyside and he has repeatedly been linked with a summer move to Serie A giants Juventus.

But the news that Barclays Capital and British Airways chairman Broughton have been brought in has been accompanied by an announcement from Hicks and Gillett that they want to sell.

A statement on Liverpool's official website read: "Following numerous expressions of interest from third parties, the club has engaged Barclays Capital to advise on the sale process. The club has the full support of its existing bankers for this process and has financing in place which will fully support the club's operations.

"Mr. Broughton, currently chairman of British Airways PLC and deputy president of the Confederation of British Industry, will work alongside the club's existing management team of Managing Director Christian Purslow, Commercial Director Ian Ayre and Financial Director Philip Nash."

Distinguished
Hicks and Gillett said in a statement: "Owning Liverpool football club over these past three years has been a rewarding and exciting experience for us and our families.

"Having grown the club this far we have now decided together to look to sell the club to owners committed to take the club through its next level of growth and development.

"We are delighted that Martin Broughton has agreed to take the position of chairman, working alongside the club's excellent senior management team.

"Martin is a distinguished business leader of excellent judgment and with a great reputation. He is a genuine football supporter and will seek to oversee the sales process in the best interests of the club and its supporters."

Broughton said in a statement: "I am excited and honoured to be taking up this position.

"Liverpool is a great club with a fantastic history. I will run this sale process in the right way, for the benefit of the club and its fans.

"Liverpool is one of the world's greatest clubs and my aim is to try and ensure that we find new owners who are able to build on the club's recent improved financial performance in order to help deliver sporting success."

Good news for fans of Liverpool then:p.

[bbfan1991]

Good news too that WBA will be doing quite a bit of transfer activity in the summer:).

[Claymores]

Arsenal were effed for the Championship as soon as Song got injured....after African Nations he became great, and could hold any midfield to allow the Arsene style of attack.

Champions League proved how poor the Premiership has become..........2nd rate and can't even make semi-finals

[30stone]

Man united playing with rooney will be a boost for them..

[30stone]

Rooney 18 more games.
Torres 11 more games.
Drogba 17 more games.

Than Van Persie.
Wonder what would happen if we did have him..

[King Gizzard]

get in there united


take that tevez you little wanker!

[30stone]

**** sake!

The one time i want city to win and they turn ****.

[bbfan1991]

Thanks Scholesy:D, never give in mentality has got us the points.. City played really well second half but United better in the first overall with me being biased United were the better side.

Come on Spurs later!, my instict is telling me it will be an away win though:(.

[setanta]

Scholes - what a player. I'd given up on him prior to Xmas but he's put in some excellent performances since then. Didn't see us getting a goal from anywhere in that second half. When Berbatov came on I thought we were finished.

[setanta]

Now that it's close in the title race, do you honestly think that Liverpool will want to beat Chelsea when they meet?

[30stone]

Reading 6 - 0 win..

:) fantastic.

We cant go up but if we continue..hopefully next season we will.

Shane scored again. Happy days.

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00107/defoe_header_1804_107008a.jpg

THIS is the moment soccer star Jermain Defoe was caught with a young woman performing a sex act on him in a car as children played nearby.

The Spurs and England striker - who has boasted of being "the best role model I can" - risks jail after his obscene behaviour with the 20-year-old in a public street.

The photographer said: "Defoe was completely brazen. It was obvious what was going on."

DEFOE: Celebrating goal yesterday The seedy incident happened on Tuesday night, just 24 hours before his team's vital match against rivals Arsenal.

Defoe, 27, who scored against Chelsea yesterday despite tweaking his groin in training on Friday, was spotted leaving his mansion in Cuffley, Herts, on foot wearing a hoody at 8pm.

The player, who was recently linked to 22-year-old model Roxy Townsend, went straight to a blue Toyota RAV4 parked just 50 yards away.

Once inside he motioned to the red-head to drive to a nearby cul-de-sac of luxury homes where she again parked.

With a gaggle of children aged around seven or eight playing 100 yards away, the couple climbed into the back of the car.

The photographer said: "It was still light and anyone passing could see what they were up to. They chatted for only a few minutes before the girl disappeared from view.

"You could then see her head move up and down. It was clear what they were doing and clear the girl had come to meet him for only one purpose. He looked like he was enjoying himself."

While the sex act was being performed, two individuals and a family walked past the car. By the time Defoe and the girl, who we are not naming, were snapped it was 8.35pm and dark but the car was close to a street light. The shocked girl at first tried to hide in the footwell of the rear passenger seat while Defoe shielded his eyes.

Our witness went on: "It was only when they were rumbled that they stopped what they were doing and broke off.

"Defoe got out and casually walked home as if nothing had happened. The girl sat in the car for five more minutes before she drove off looking quite upset."

Last night neighbours were shocked that the £60,000-a-week star could behave so disgustingly in such a public spot. One young mum, whose house is near where the car was parked, said the footballer was known for cruising around looking for girls.

She said: "This is disgraceful. He's got a reputation around here for picking up girls but you don't expect this type of behaviour on your own doorstep."

And an elderly neighbour said: "What they do with girls is up to them but they should do it in the privacy of their homes."

Defoe - who was substituted in the 77th minute during his sides' 2-1 win - could still face police action over the incident for outraging public decency. The offence carries a maximum six months' jail or a £5,000 fine.

By law no one needs to actually see the act being committed but two or more people must be "capable" of seeing it.

It was only in February that Defoe said: "Footballers have to be aware they are role models for kids. I want to be the best role model I can."

He has dated a string of celeb beauties including Danielle Lloyd.


:laugh2:, naughty Defoe.

Arsenal plan smart £8 million move for Joe Hart

There is no denying the fact that Arsenal need to sign a new goalkeeper.

Lukasz Fabianski was in goal as Arsenal conceded 3 goals in the space of ten minutes to hand Wigan an unlikely three points at the DW Stadium this afternoon.

Many Arsenal fans questioned Arsene Wenger’s decision not to sign a new keeper during the January transfer window and I think it’s fair to say that if the Gunners had a decent keeper, they could easily be winning the Premier League at the moment.

As it is, Arsenal now have little chance of lifting the title at the end of the season with the Londoners now 6 points behind Chelsea with just 3 games to play.

It has been announced that Wenger will have money to spend in the summer and I am sure a new keeper will be high on his list of priorities when he does dip into the market.

There is a report in today’s Mirror, claiming that Arsenal will make an £8 million move for Manchester City keeper Joe Hart in the summer and to tell you the truth, I reckon Hart would be a cracking signing for the Gunners.

Hart, 23, is currently on loan at Birmingham, however with Shay Given likely to remain as number 1 at Eastlands next season, there is talk that the England international will look to leave City on a permanent basis.

I have said it in the past and I will say it again. Hart is, without doubt, one of the best keepers in the Premier League and I believe he would be superb addition to the Arsenal squad. He is still very young and at £8 million, I feel he represents value for money.

[30stone]

According to Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo, Atletico Madrid have reportedly lured Arsenal starlet Fran Merida back to Spain.

Merida has had enough of being overlooked by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and will leave in search of more first-team opportunities.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has made it clear in recent weeks he would like the Spanish youngster to remain at the Emirates, but he could give no guarantees as to first-time action.

The 21 year old has made just three appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring a solitary goal against Bolton Wanderers in January.

[30stone]

According to the News of the World Arsenal striker Eduardo is interesting French club Lyon.

The Croatian has failed to impress this season at the Emirates, with many believing the forward has never fully recovered from his horrific leg-break suffered against Birmingham City during 2008-09.

With the imminent arrival of Marouane Chamakh from Bordeaux, he looks set to drop further down the pecking order behind Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner.

Despite signing a new long-term contract last November, the Gunners are believed to be willing to accept an offer of around £8 million.

[30stone]

When legendary striker Thierry Henry finally departed Arsenal in 2007 after a memorable eight-year spell with the club, his replacement was much anticipated. Who would Arsene Wenger bring in to replace his French X-factor?

The replacement was Eduardo Da Silva, a talented Croatian who had been excelling in the Croatian League with Dinamo Zagreb. The Croatian was blessed with blistering pace, a fierce shot and the rare ability to be icy cool in the goal area.

Eduardo started slowly in the Premier League, taking time to adapt to the physicality of the English game. But around Christmas, the Croatian international began to blossom. Come 2008, the footballing world witnessed another star striker embark onto the EPL.

But then on Feb. 23, 2008, a horror challenge left "Dudu" with a horror injury. A broken fibula and dislocated ankle saw the 27-year-old spend just under a year on the sidelines.

Although Eduardo's comeback to the Arsenal side has been admirable and a joy to watch, his form has since evaded him. This campaign, it has been evident Eduardo is no longer the damaging forward he used to be.

Lacking in confidence and skills, the Croatian star has contributed solidly this season for the Gunners, but sadly, many feel his time in the English game is over. Furthermore, with rumours from the likes of Lyon, Wenger may feel obligated to allow Eduardo to depart the Emirates.

This could see the Frenchman attract a handy profit for his striker which would enable him to pursue a quality replacement. One player who would have no difficulty performing at Arsenal is Wigan's star frontman, Hugo Rodallega.

The Columbian sharpshooter has had an impressive season with Wigan and many clubs are vying for his signature. Fortunately, the 25-year-old has expressed a desire to play at Arsenal, which only strengthens Wenger's reason to offer for the former Necaxa striker.

Rodallega is strong and agile making himself a powerful striker. Rodallega has been one of Wigan's top performers in their struggle to survive, with nine goals in 34 appearances.

The addition of the Columbian would allow more depth in the Arsenal forward ranks and also provide more versatility.

When the usual injury bomb deploys itself in the Arsenal base, Rodallega's presence could prove useful.

So should Wenger sell Eduardo to obtain the talented Hugo Rodallega?

Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill is reportedly on Arsenal FC’s transfer radar.

The Sunday Mirror claims Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is looking at augmenting his backline with the young centre-back.

Cahill has had an impressive season which has seen him move to the fringes of England coach Fabio Capello’s squad.

Wenger has experienced defensive problems this season and both Mikael Silvestre and Sol Campbell both in the twilight of their careers and the Wanderers defender could be the answer to his long-term plans.

The paper goes on to claim that Wenger is also monitoring Dane Simon Kjaer of Palermo.

[30stone]

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger has been given the green light for a major summer spending spree.

After yet another trophy-less season, chairman Peter Hill-Wood revealed more money “than for a long, long time” was available for Wenger – thought to be around £25-£30m.

Fulham’s Brede Hangeland (left) is one of his top targets. The north Londoners have a board meeting late next week and transfer bids will be on the agenda after the loss at Spurs, which ended their Premier League hopes.

A centre-back is a priority with Hangeland and Hamburg’s Jerome Boateng on Wenger’s radar.

The Frenchman knows he needs to boost his strike force. Bordeaux’s Marouane Chamakh seems set to join on a Bosman free, although he will command big wages.

Hill-Wood said: “We have got more money than we have had for a long, long time and we would like to spend it. But we want to spend it sensibly.”

He added the club were beginning to reap the benefits of Highbury Square – the conversion of the old stadium into homes – and also development around their new Emirates base.

“There is plenty of cash, although not in comparison to Manchester City, ” he said. “So we have got to look for others. We clearly cannot compete in the transfer market with them.”

Barcelona coach Guardiola wants deal for Arsenal fullback Clichy ahead of Cesc

Barcelona are chasing Arsenal fullback Gael Clichy.

Clichy impressed Nou Camp boss Pep Guardiola with two excellent performances against Barca in the Champions League quarter-final.

Guardiola has identified the need for a left back as a greater priority than a central midfielder like Gunners captain Cesc Fabregas, although the issue is clouded by the club's presidential elections in the summer, says the Daily Mail.

The Barca boss sees Clichy as a left-sided version of Dani Alves, a full back capable of attacking fluently but with the engine to carry out his defensive duties.

For Clichy, 24, it could provide the boost which propels him into the France team, where he has struggled to get past Manchester United's Patrice Evra and Barca's Eric Abidal.

He has two years left on his Arsenal contract but Clichy has not been at his most consistent this season. His place may even have come under pressure from Kieran Gibbs had the England Under 21 defender not broken his foot in November.

[30stone]

Real Madrid Track Manchester City's Carlos Tevez - Report
Real Madrid are reported to have expressed an interest in Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez in light of a breakdown in recent contract talks, according to the News of the World.

Despite only arriving at Eastlands from rivals Manchester United last summer, it is speculated that the explosive frontman is far from happy with his current contract and is seeking a wage increase to match the £160,000-a-week deal Robinho held with the club.

With Madrid struggling for silverware this season, and number one target Wayne Rooney all but certain to remain at Manchester United, the Spanish giants have switched their attention to Tevez who is also being courted by Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan.

It is believed the high-octane striker would jump at the chance to join international team-mate Lionel Messi in Spain, although with a view to end Barcelona’s La Liga dominance.

Tevez has scored 28 times this season, six in his last four outings, to fire the Citizens to fifth place in the Premier League and to the brink of Champions League football next season.
