| Video: Clint Dempsey explains why he quit Spurs for MLS Posted: 06 Aug 2013 08:02 AM PDT Seattle Sounders’ new signing Clint Dempsey has been explaining why he decided to leave Spurs – and the fact that he is getting a better basic salary than David Beckham was on at LA Galaxy didn’t even get a mention. The USA international says he had the “itch” to come home after six-and-a-half years in [...] |
| Video: Barcelona star Neymar takes a dive at Nike promo Posted: 06 Aug 2013 07:37 AM PDT Barcelona new boy Neymar ended up in a heap in the floor after falling over during a Nike promotional event in Bangkok. Proving that Jermaine Jenas didn’t know he was born when he complained about being in a goldfish bowl, the Brazilian star was expected to dribble round in circles at full speed on a [...] |
| Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna happy to cover at right-back Posted: 06 Aug 2013 07:21 AM PDT Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has said he’s happy to fill in at centre-back when needed this season. The France international said he would rather be at full-back but is happy to play wherever he is needed. Gooners aren’t exactly looking for excuses for the club to avoid buying new players right now, so perhaps Sagna’s [...] |
| Private Eye sums up the Wayne Rooney transfer speculation in two paragraphs Posted: 06 Aug 2013 06:58 AM PDT As ever, Private Eye sums up most modern sports journalism better than anyone else… pic.twitter.com/4ozGWh18kS — Mick Collins (@MickPCollins) July 25, 2013 Satirical magazine Private Eye has given its take on the Wayne Rooney transfer saga. It’s probably the most reliable piece of transfer news you’ll read this month. |
| Arsenal and Spurs target Bernard is in London Posted: 06 Aug 2013 06:42 AM PDT Brazil international Bernard, reportedly a transfer target for both Arsenal and Spurs, is currently in London. The £22m rated midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to the Gunners and, to a lesser extent, their north London rivals. Now he’s posted this photograph on Instagram – three hours ago at the time of writing [...] |
| Video: Tottenham defender Kyle Naughton gives you a scare Posted: 06 Aug 2013 06:25 AM PDT Spurs have been recording their video penpics for TV stations to run during the forthcoming campaign. Defender Kyle Naughton took the opportunity to give you a bit of a fright… |
| Video: Wayne Rooney is the world’s first test-tube burger Posted: 06 Aug 2013 04:42 AM PDT Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has faced jibes about his weight throughout his career, but this is probably the first time he’s been referred to as a test-tube burger. A muddle in the Sky News studios resulted in Rooney being referred to by host Kay Burley as the world’s first test-tube burger. How would Burger [...] |
| Kitman: New Everton away kit launched Posted: 06 Aug 2013 04:26 AM PDT Everton have launched their new away kit for the forthcoming campaign. In a slightly strange move, it contains a lot of blue, which will presumably preclude it from being worn in many of the matches for which the home kit is deemed unsuitable. So… we’re not quite sure when the Toffees will wear this. The [...] |
| QPR boss Harry Redknapp interviewed through a car window in BT Sport studio Posted: 06 Aug 2013 04:21 AM PDT The battle is on between Sky Sports and BT Sport for football fans’ affection. It’s safe to say that it’s no coincidence that, on BT Sport’s launch day, Sky Sports visited every league club in England for special reports. BT Sport have taken their first shot on their rivals with a bit of help from [...] |
| Manchester City defender Matija Nastasic will miss start of new season Posted: 06 Aug 2013 04:11 AM PDT Matija Nastasic will miss the start of the new season with an ankle injury. The Manchester City centre-back was stretchered off during his side’s pre-season clash with Sunderland in Hong Kong last month. City have been assessing the injury since then and it is now confirmed that he will be out of action for at [...] |
| Newcastle linked with £5m move for Liverpool’s Stewart Downing Posted: 06 Aug 2013 02:27 AM PDT Liverpool winger Stewart Downing is set to join Newcastle in a £5m deal. The former Aston Villa man would complete the set of north-east clubs having previously played for Middlesbrough and on-loan at Sunderland. The Liverpool Echo reports that the Reds are preparing to take a huge loss on the £20m they paid for the [...] |
| Chelsea skipper John Terry plays in goal, ambulance awaits Posted: 06 Aug 2013 01:57 AM PDT Then it's the turn of the captain to make a flying save! #CFCUSA pic.twitter.com/mRXZMHcvni — Gigi Salmon (@gigi_salmon) August 5, 2013 Chelsea captain John Terry didn’t have the best injury record last season. That probably explains why, when he decided to become a goalkeeper during the Blues’ pre-season tour of the USA, an ambulance was [...] |
| Al-Qaeda wades in on Gareth Bale transfer with anti-semitic attack on Spurs Posted: 06 Aug 2013 01:50 AM PDT Al-Qaeda have become involved in the transfer rumours linking Gareth Bale with a switch to Real Madrid by launching an anti-semitic attack on Tottenham. Reports in the Italian media claim that the leader of a Yemeni Al-Qaeda cell, Ahmed Al Dossari, has used Spurs’ negotiations with Real as an excuse for a rant about Jews. [...] |
| Spurs ditch Gareth Bale from Twitter Posted: 06 Aug 2013 01:34 AM PDT Tottenham have scrapped Gareth Bale from the background of their official Twitter account. The Welshman and Clint Dempsey once stood either side of their tweets. But they have now been swapped in favour of Mousa Dembele and Aaron Lennon. Dempsey’s removal was inevitable after his departure to Seattle Sounders last week. The decision to remove [...] |

The Manchester City striker is said to have promised to play the part of Sheik Mansour and bankroll a spending spree for the Argentinian team. Yet Independiente never came [...] |
