With the split screen showing various players signing contracts and posing with their new club shirt and stuff? I think the idea's a winner – you should drop an email to Sky. :D

I already give them forty quid a month, so I'm not going to do their job for them as well! :D

Sky Sports News are reporting that William Gallas is currently undergoing a medical at Arsenal – his transfer to the Gunners is of course supposed to be part of the deal that would see Ashley Cole going the other way to Chelsea.

Not seeing this at all anywhere online?

It was on the news ticker going along the bottom the the screen. It went by a couple of times so I'm certain I wasn't seeing things. ;)

Mind, I've not heard anything resembling an official statement from either of the clubs involved.

Keep me informed. :p :D
 
Well I think I'm pleased overall - not as much as I thought for Cole, even with Gallas - but I much prefer having positive players, that don't want away, and haven't acted in the way Cashley and Reyes have.. so its good.
 
REDS WIN NEW FRIENDS AMONGST RIVALS

Paul Rogers 04 September 2006
Liverpool were today unveiled as England's most popular team amongst rival fans in a poll conducted by a national men's magazine.
Weekly magazine Nuts commissioned the poll to try and find out who the country's football fans considered their second favourite club behind their own team.

The results made interesting reading with 15% of all those asked revealing Liverpool would be their 'second' team or the club they'd most like to achieve success after their own side.

Liverpool topped the pool by a clear 5% with West Ham United and Wigan coming in second and third respectively. Aston Villa finished bottom of the Premiership popularity table with Arsenal and Chelsea completing the relegation places.

"Liverpool have provided a huge amount of entertainment, over the last year or so starting with the Champions League win and culminating in the stunning Steven Gerrard goal in the FA Cup Final," explains Gershon Portnoi, the Nuts Sports Editor.

"I think The Toon's popularity may have taken a dip during Graeme Souness' time at the helm. It's great to see Wigan and West Ham up there. Everyone loves an underdog and they certainly entertained and gave many of the bigger clubs a scare last season."

1. Liverpool: 15%

If they love the underdog, I'm surprised Portsmouth isn't higher. Pompey have been an amazement to me; scraping out of the relegation zone in the 1st division (or championship) for 10 years or so, then winning it outright. Then they do exactly the same in the premiership and are now 2nd!! (long may it continue)

I only hope we can go back to the glory days - we held the FA cup for six consecutive years!

And as the pundits say, the table doesn't lie... ;)

The question is though, while it's plain to see that Premier League fans rate Liverpool as their 'best other team', who would Liverpool fans like to see do well? Which of the other nineteen teams would you put down as your choice, BakedBeans?

Surely that just means that more Nuts fans support Liverpool than any other club? It could be that most football fans read quality men's magazines like...Esquire, FHM.;)
