Is he or isn't he? Only his agent knows for sure! The continuing saga of Jose Antonio Reyes (AKA JAR)...well, continues. First, he was ready to go. Then he was happy to stay...but one day he'd like to go. Now, he's on his way back to spain. This is one Gunner (other than the Princess) who I really won't mind seeing leave. In my mind, he just doesn't produce enough goals and he's a soft player. Sure, he's pretty for the ladies to look at and all that, but he doesn't appear to be cut out for the rigors of English football. So, go ahead, Professor. Cash out the JAR, buy yourself a midfielder who can bring the rumble, and give him a plane ride back home, where he will be reunited with his family once again.

Why, Martin, Why?
If you believe the BBC, and why wouldn't you, former Hoops boss Martin O'Neill will be taking the reins at Aston Villa, a club beset with controversy and pursued by as many as five different potential buyers. This seems certainly like a downward move from the legendary Celtic, where O'Neill was highly successful.

O'Neill's name surfaced during the bumbling search, or was it a grope, for the England coach. But, other than that, there have not been a surfeit of high profile clubs with openings. He certainly couldn't go back to the SPL after having coached the best team in that league. And with the domestic situation, an English club was probably the only job he wanted to take. If he does well at Villa, then he'll be ready for future openings at better clubs.
