Rumours Rampant

Now, the rumours are getting better: Obafemi Martins. Carlos Tevez. These are some strikers I can get excited about. None have the singular brilliance of Thierry Henry, for sure. But as we were discussing yesterday, perhaps we need a brilliant striker who still leaves a little room for others on the team to be brilliant in.

Others say get Michael Owen. I don't know. The bum knee and all. How about Ruud van Nistelroy as long as we're talking about older strikers who still have game. That'd certainly make for a sporting match-up with the Red Devils.

And what to make of the spectacular, some might say, Galactical mess that is the team formerly known as Los Galacticos. They win the league for the first time in four years and of course, they fire the coach.
Said RM Sports (mis) Director Predrag Milajotovic:

"we felt he wasn't the most suitable person to carry out what we plan to do" over the next couple of seasons.

Apparently, those plans don't include winning...

And then, finally...
The Washington Post is reporting on a historical
constitutional crisis and power grab in the administration, the Middle
East is still on fire, global warming continues to cook the planet, and
still the  found room on the front page for an informative article about ketchup! I am in the wrong business.
