It's all happening
Where's Sol Campbell going then? Real, Barca, Arsenal, United, Juventus......... Best guess is Real/Barca probably Barca as they lost out on Figo. Anyone who say's Sol wanted to stay at Spurs is talking toss, it's not a money thing - they offered him �80,000 a week for gods sake!
Next subject ; Patrick Vieira. The man from Senegal is all over the back pages in 'Fergie given go ahead to make �20m bid fir Arsenal ace' stories. Let's get this straight, Arsenal will not sell their best player to their main rivals - not for �100m. The fans wouldn't take it, the players wouldn't take it and the board (mostly being Arsenal fans) won't do it. I'll change my name to Teddy Sheringham if it happens. A move abroad isn't as ludicrous but I've got faith in Paddy, he'll stay.
Playoff's
Quite a dramatic match yesterday as Walsall beat Reading to clinch promotion back to the first division. After going 2-1 down early in extra-time they showed tremendous spirit to come back (even though the first goal was a total fluke) with sub Darren Byfield turning and smashing in a low goal from 25 yards. Well done.
Well done to Blackpool too, who beat Leyton Orient in the third division playoff final. And good luck to Bolton and Preston too, who do battle for a place in the premiership tonight.
