Proper football is back today with the Europa League.

 

Anzhi have won their first leg - we're bound to come up against them at some point.

 

Other than them , or at least until the CL failures come in, our main rivals look to be Inter Milan and Athletic Bilbao. And seemingly Gomel :(

I fully blame toady for our bad luck last season , this season will be more of the same now thanks to Cam

 

Not even close.

 

09/10 - "Today's football", started by Hass: Liverpool hire RFH, sign PFK and CFP. FOP still at LFC. Man Utd win 19th.

10/11 - Toady's football: The return of the King, Man Utd lose title in the last minute to Man City.

joey barton signing a 6 month loan deal with fleetwood

 

FA have got the pwoer to block that if they think it a piss-take (which it is) don't they?

 

Is he not banned in the lower leagues?

 

Yes.

 

But the idea is he will complete his ban more quickly if he is registered with them.

 

They play their 12th game of thye season on 29th September (and there is probably a Johnstone's Paints cup tie to add in as well, so it will be even earlier).

 

If QPR progress in the League Cup, soonest he can be back for them is 3rd November.

 

If they don't it is 17th November.

The Premier League has confirmed the creation of a new Under-21 competition to bridge the gap between clubs' academies and their first team.

 

The first national showcase for Under-21 players will launch on 17 August when Chelsea host Manchester City and Reading visit West Ham. Teams from 17 Premier League and six Championship clubs – in effect all those who applied for category one status – will be divided into three groups.

 

From January the sides will then be placed into three pools based on their performance, leading to a knockout stage and final. The emphasis will be on playing Under-21 players with each team limited to three over-age outfield players and one over-age goalkeeper.

 

"Each stage of a player's development is tailored to ensuring they have the best possible chance of progressing," said Richard Scudamore, the Premier League chief executive.

 

"The new league addresses one of the most critical points – the transition from academy football to the highest standards in the first team.

 

"We believe this competitive environment, where fans can also come along to watch the next generation of Premier League and international players, will help deliver more talented home grown boys to that next level."

 

National Group 1: Arsenal, Blackburn, Bolton, Everton, Norwich, Reading, West Brom, West Ham.

 

National Group 2: Aston Villa, Manchester United, Newcastle, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, Tottenham, Watford.

 

National Group 3: Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Wolves.

My home town team, second best player ever to play for Fleetwood, behind Billy Ronson.

Barton is way, way, way down on the list of nutters to play for Fleetwood though

Rafa raised the issue of the U21 competition a few months back but was shouted down by the geniuses in the media. Now it's suddenly a great idea.

The idea was already being worked on by the PL. it wasn't shouted down when he talked about it.

 

The idea that our reserve team be allowed to play in the lower leagues was though

they've got plenty of good players but i guess we find out now whether di matteo can actually manage or not.

 

Have they had anyone missing besides Sturridge?

 

Did they ever sign that Hulk fella or if not will it happen post-Olympics?
