Football News. 9/18/06.

Ballack apologizes to Sissoko after stamping him on the knee in yesterday's game, Chelsea against Liv. The incident gave the German midfielder his first red of his career. As if being sent off wasn't enough, he will be facing (fuck) a 3-match ban against Fulham, Villa and Reading. He will be back on the 21st... next month.

---------------------------------------------

England assistant coach Venables considers Scholes to be part of the England squad again. The player was said to have already retired from international football but due to Hargreaves' broken leg which would cost him 6 weeks of football, the assistant coach is asking him to reconsider. Hargreaves' injury seems to open a slot for central midfielder. However, given the situation, we also wonder if Scholes really will be replacing Hargreaves, given Lampard's bad form since the World Cup plus the potential of Michael Carrick. Are we to see another shocker from Macca? Will he drop Lampard?

---------------------------------------------

And as if we still havent had enough of the Becks issue, here's another scoop. He thinks he won't be playing for England again. (You bet! Are you trying reverse psychology on Macca by saying this?) He still wants to play for England. His resignation only meant he thought it's time somebody else takes over the captaincy. He thinks Terry's a good man for the job. Becks was said to be a 'casualty' of the Sven era.

---------------------------------------------

Portmouth defender Sol Campbell was dropped by Macca off the England squad...through an answering machine. The coach left just one message in his machine, just to tell he's not part of the first squad anymore. For now, it seems then, the defender will only be playing for his Premiership team.

---------------------------------------------

It was a shocker that Arsenal won over ManYoo and broke the latter team's straight win record. The game ended 1-0. I wonder where ManYoo's scoring machines were ladt night. In the past, they've been scoring 2 to a max of 5. But last night was totally unexpected. To make it worse, they were beaten by a team who hasn't won anything since the premiership began.

---------------------------------------------

And Drogba SCORESSSS for Chelsea! (Still nothing from Lampard!) 1-0! Liverpool loses... again! RIP Liverpool. 9/17/06. ManYoo's loss puts them at the same level as Chelsea while Pompy stays on top.
