Lucky Liverpool
It looks as though Liverpool's potentially tricky opponents in the Champions League qualifying round - Maccabi Haifa - will be disqualified and the 'pool will face the team that got beaten 5-0 by Haifa - FC Haka of Finland. Although it seems that Haifa did field the ineligible player I don' think it was malicious and punishment by putting a team who are inferior through is unfair to both Haifa and all of us who want to see Liverpool beaten. But what can you do - rules is rules - as they say
Borderline Zenden has joined Chelsea, he joins Emmanuel Petit as the second Barca player sold for more than they were bought even though they only played a handful (at best) of games last season. Time will tell on the quality of the purchase - I thought Zenden looked good during Euro 2000 but every other performance I've seen has been exceptionally average.
Wimbledon look like they'll be moving house - to Milton Keynes. The supporters of the club are shall we say, not that chuffed - and rightly so in my opinion.
"Wimbledon have been homeless for ten years. Without a proper home ground our future looks bleak."
By 'without a proper home ground' I'm assuming Charles Koppel (Wimbledon MD) means the ground sharing scheme with Crystal Palace. Why can they not look at developing Selhurst Park into a more modern stadium whilst keeping the current ground sharing arrangements? It's not harmed Lazio or Roma who both share the Stadio Olympico. Surely it's worth a try? for the sake of the fans at least.
