STOP PRESS: Derby don't lose!

It may only be a 1-1 but god, I am sure the Deby players did a lap of honour after that result last night. In fact, they do a lap of honour pretty much anytime they win a corner, or so I've heard.

Liverpool also lost and now languish just out of the European places. I predict fallout shoud they somehow fail to qualify for the Champions League. With all that debt, only nominally secured, hanging over them, the pressure must be mounting on Rafa Benitez. You see, I am not convinced that these texans will pay out of their own pockets should there be a shortfall in Liverool's profits next season- even if the debt is secured against their personal fortunes. Not when their are sellable assets like Fernando Torres around. The idea that a couple of wealthy tightarse Americans might strip a club back to its bare bones appeals to my sense of fatalism. I was really hoping the Glazers would do it to Manchester Utdb actually.

Today is also transfer deadline day and this blog will not be offering any transfer news or last minute reports on all the action before the 'window closes'. None. Not unless that is either Gascoigne, Ginola, Cantona, or Asprilla make unexpected comebacks...
