Peter Turner

Fabio Capello has made a remarkable U-turn on his decision to grant John Terry the captaincy following remarks he made on Monday. Capello had more or less implied that he was ready to forgive John Terry and reward him with the armband once again. However, current England captain Rio Ferdinand was understandably upset that he was being replaced in such a manner.

N’Zogbia has made 61 appearances for Wigan, since joining them in 2009, and managed 9 goals. A popular figure at the DW, Roberto Martinez has already expressed his desire to keep hold of the player. With Wigan being drawn ever closer to the relegation zone however, could Bruce steal a march on Pardew and Dalglish and make N’Zogbia a Black Cat?

Kenny Dalglish and Harry Redknapp have been put on red-alert by the news that Roma striker Mirko Vucinic could be on his way from the Italian side this summer. Liverpool and Tottenham both made moves for the player during the January transfer window, but both were turned down by Roma who insisted the player was not for sale. Now however, the player’s agent has made suggestions that Vucinic could be ready to make a move, news which has made Dalglish and Redknapp’s ear’s burn.

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendter could face a Summer transfer window move to Blackburn, according to newspaper reports.

After a disasterous World Cup, it seems that England manager Fabio Capello has faile to learn his lesson, and is considering making John Terry England captain again for the upcoming Wales-England Euro Qualifier on March 26th. For me, this is perhaps the worst decision in the history of bad decisions. And here’s 5 reasons why:

FC Borne’s president, Cedric Enjolras went to lunch with a few friends, and had too many glasses of vino. He drunkenly bet his friends that he could sign Lionel Messi for his non-league side. He even went so far as to draft a letter of the transfer request and forwarded it to the French Football Federation for approval.

According to a poll taken by Zoo magazine, it appears that I’m not the only one who isn’t that keen on the England team.

But just occasionally, a story comes along that is so astoundingly ridiculous that you just can’t help but laugh! If somebody get’s hurt, all the better! So, for all you depressed, miserable and lonely football fans out there, here’s 4 stories about off-field craziness to brighten your day!

Borussia Dortmund defender, Neven Subotic is currently the Bundesliga’s hottest property. Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are currently monitoring the 22 year old centre-back, as they look to strengthen their squads ahead of next season’s Premiership campaign.

Athletico Madrid, are rumoured to be preparing an offer to Spurs that could see both Diego Forlan and Leonel Aguero moving to London in a deal worth £40 million. The ‘Mattress Makers’ are strapped for cash at the moment, and know that if they want to compete with the rest of the Spanish league they have to find a way of filling the coffers. Selling Aguero and Forlan is the unpleasant reality.

New research from Dr. Ken Bray at the University of Bath has suggested that many footballers could actually be mathematical geniuses. Published in the Thursday edition of the Daily Mirror, Dr. Bray’s findings suggested that instead of being drooling, mindless thugs, staring with cold dead eyes at the nearest stripper/waitress, your average footballer posseses mathematical ability that would have put Einstein to shame!

Newcastle and Tottenham have both been linked with Brazilian striker Adriano, following the termination of his contract with Serie A side Roma. However, it looks as though Alan Pardew and Harry Redknapp could be out of luck as the 29 year old considers returning back to his native Brazil to be closer to his family.
