Dudu Eyes Rovers Return...
In the second worst kept secret in football, Spurs finishing in the top four being the worst, Edward O'Silva will definitely miss out against Sparta Prague on Wednesday night. The Brazilian Croation striker has failed to recover from ankle knockage, but hopes to be fit for a tricky away trip to a resurgent Blackburn Rovers. Other omittees (if thats a word) are Abu Dhabi, Denis Neilsen, Manu Adebayor and Dudu's Irish cousin Gilbert...

Prague Preview...
Nice article on Arsenal.com, too much to copy, but the Sporting Director of Sparta Prague, reckons Tomas Rosicky can expect a warm from his old club, he said: "I think he has a very, very strong relationship with Sparta. He made a big, big impression and when he left for Borussia Dortmund his transfer brought big money to the club. Sparta were in debt at the time and this money helped very much. Rosicky is still very popular among the Sparta Prague fans and I think he can expect a really warm welcome..." Eek!

ANR Legend Rolls On...
You have to love Myles Palmer, just let me see the next ten games, then I'll let you know who we're going to get on. Nice, let me see the next 37, and I'll tell you exactly how we're going to get on. Along with his 'taratula on the wedding cake' analogy, I also love this quote: 'It's different without the narcissistic ballerina.' Jeremie Aliadiere was hardly that eh? ...and this one: 'Steve McClaren is re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.'

Only joking Myles, we love you really, you crazy old fella - he did however mention in his latest article that David Dein was in an exective box at the Fulham game... [insert AWIMBs smiley icon here....]

Lawrie Load of Boll*cks...
Fulham Manager Lawrie Sanchez has done the unthinkable for a Premiership Manager, no, not stolen Martin Jols Pork Pie, but said 'sorry'. In an unprecedented act of humanemanship, he actually apologised for called us all divers over the weekend. He said: "I have to hold my hand up and say I was probably wrong to a certain extent, the incident with Hleb in the first place was probably a good shout for a penalty, but my instinct as a manager is to protect my own players. The penalty though, I have seen them given and not given. As a manager, you sometimes shoot from the hip, and in that instance perhaps I should have waited a little longer..."
