Thats it in a nutshell - much ado about nothing imho; theres a 2.1m UKP contract clause which is payable if he's poached before the end of his contract - all Brighton are doing is ensuring that nothing untoward happens .... all Poyet is doing is trying to land the job he wants. (as such this is 'standard practice' pretty much in such a case to minimise the chance of him taking players etc. with him - normally it doesn't get so much attention tbh, must be a slow news day  )PS - I was thinking he's a better match for Everton than Fulham myself ....

So play it at White Hart Lane - nobody has home advantage there, the locals hate both teams. Or play it at just about any other Premiership ground in London. I'd probably be more inclined to give the FA credit on this if they hadn't already left the FA Cup finalists with a very narrow window to catch their trains home. As is, this is their second strike in a month, and they've not had that many matches to arrange. |

So where is David Beckham going to put his expansion team? I love that he got that written into his contract for a measly $25m.

Can't be NY, he was deliberately excluded from New York.
I can see him negotiating a sweetheart deal to buy Chivas USA, who's rumored to be on the block..

Was discussing this over dinner yesterday, we thought San Diego would be an awesome place for an MLS team and close enough to LA if he wanted to oversee things personally

Far from it imho - I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him pop up at Man City myself .... He probably smells 'weakness' in the Premiership, its got to be one of the most open seasons going next season: Normal Top 4 Man City - managerless but wadges of cash Chelsea - managerless but wadges of cash Arsenal - consistent management but still no huge wadges of cash being spent Man Utd - new manager but losing some key players, some cash available The 'Rest' Liverpool - Reforming, definite progress being made imho - but still a ways to go before they're true challengers (lack of consistency - especially in defense) Everton - new manager Tottenham - in good position to take advantage So basically at the moment he could walk into Chelsea which is a club in turmoil where he had problems with the Chairman previously ... or he could go to City where he'd probably not have issues on that scope and rub it into the Chelsea chairman that he made the wrong decision. Next season I can see the Premiership being VERY interesting, Spurs are in with their best shot in years of making the Champions League (if they keep their side together), Liverpool have shown signs of improvements this season so a few good signings could give them a run at things .... Everton's new manager will need to hit the road running and get a few results from the get go or things could turn bad fast (frankly their squad isn't the greatest, they need confidence and a good tactical setup - if their manager loses their belief then the wheels will fall off).

Txiki picked Pep over Mourinho the last time he had a choice. And reading between the lines says he wants someone that knows his role in the scheme of things and not a headline-stealing power man like Mourinho.

And the next MLS expansion team being announced isn't Beckham's, but a partnership between Manchester City and New York Yankees with New York City FC.

David Beckham's son has joined the QPR youth academy. He's only two years younger than his dad when his dad made his Man U youth team debut.

The Chelsea goalkeeper's 2 year old son stole the show during the team's end of season celebration.

Robben has about as long a record of finishing worse in major finals as anyone I can think of - he's missed really good chances today, last year, and in the 2010 World Cup.
The one time I can remember him doing something useful in a final was in a Carling Cup final with Chelsea, where he dropped a couple of crosses on Drogba's head, no shooting involved. |

Robben should have been the field goal kicker for the 1990s Buffalo Bills.

Great example there of a player being offside, but getting back into an onside position to score a goal.

So apparently that is the rule for Robben in finals - can cross, can't shoot.
And now the question is, given that Bayern have lost each of the last three CL finals where they led before penalties, do they get nervous? |

. . . scratch that, the question is why is Dante still on the pitch? That was as clear a second yellow as you could ask for.

If you make contact with the attacking player's chest but miss the ball, you're kinda asking for a card.
