Football Drivel: All about stones!
Kelvin Leong reckons Joe Kinnear's stuttering Newcastle United bought the wrong Kevin from Bolton Wanderers.
Magpies buy the wrong Kevin
Newcastle's mix up of the two Kevins.
Joe Kinnear might be pulling his hair out after yesterday's 1-1 draw in the Tyne-wear derby where he had absolutely no firepower upfront.
New signing Kevin Nolan from Bolton looked ordinary and one has to wonder, did the American owner Mike Ashley bid for the wrong Kevin?
Kinnear may have told him he wanted Kevin from Bolton, but it was Kevin Davies, the striker, who put Tottenham to the sword with two outstanding goals at the weekend and not Kevin Nolan who looks every bit like a younger clone of Nicky Butt.
Tottenham thinking of name change
Harry Redknapp has decided he wants to prove that Martin Jol and Juande Ramos got it all wrong.
He is planning on changing the Hotspur brand to ‘Spurs Reunited' after buying Pascal Chimbonda back from Sunderland and apparently very ‘Keane' on former cult hero Robbie.
Sure, why not.
Just pay 30 million pounds and re-sign Bulgarian Dimitar Berbatov, three million pounds for Simon Davies, two million pounds for Matthew Etherington and Spurs will be back in business!
Not!
There will only be one team in Manchester
The most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League.
An out-of-this-world bid to bring Brazilian wizard Kaka to the Eastlands.
‘World class' striker Craig Bellamy brought in to boost a frail attack.
Sure. Keep buying more and more players and still you will not come close to the title.
After Kaka's refusal to move from AC Milan to Manchester City, you know what the club is all about now.
Putting tons of money on the table, in the hope of luring some of the best footballers to join City?
Not working out as well as they'd hoped.
Kaka was smart enough to know that the City project is too raw and too suspicious.
Of course, there will be a couple of ‘money-faced' players who might cross over and join the big ‘City project' but judging from Mark Hughes' red face after the weekend's shocking loss to a ten-man Stoke City side, Mansour may need to buy an entire new squad of eleven players.
Money doesn't guarantee long-term success.
Just ask Chelsea fans.
Merseyside derby overdose
This coming Wednesday will see Liverpool and Everton playing against each other for the fourth time this season.
Imagine what both managers will have to say come Wednesday night in their pre-match team talk.
Whatever they can say has already been said in the past three meetings. Every tactical and formation change has been tried-and-tested in the past three meetings.
Tim Cahill's cameo appearance as Everton's makeshift striker is fast becoming old news and the press is tired of repeatedly printing the same Merseyside derby headlines!
The last two derbies ended in 1-1 draws so can someone tell Rafa Benitez to abandon his defensive-minded formation and just attack the Everton backline!
Someone has to have the stones to win it! No pun intended.
