Random News 8/11/08 (Setanta, Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Georgia Conflict)

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I found this really great article which is a case study the inner workings of Setanta. It focuses on their deal with the SPL, which just got extended. This is an great read.

Blog/fansite RonaldoWORLD is reporting that Mirror is reporting that Alex Ferguson is going to hold a serious grudge against Real Madrid after their push to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. I went to the Mirror and couldn’t find it but here’s their post.

Speaking of Fergie, it’s now rumored that he’s going after Theirry Henry. If Henry knows his roll, Man U has the potential to be a cracking team this year.

Ah, Jose Mourinho. Great to have you back in the mix. The Special One claims that the current Arsenal squad is too young, thereby without enough experience to snag the league cup. He also thinks that Liverpool will take the top title this year.

Ghana moves up a spot in the FIFA rankings…GOOD FOR THEM!!!

The FA of Ireland has concerns about their upcoming qualifier in Georgia due to the current conflict over there, and rightly so.

Nice write-up of David Villa in the Mirror

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

The Mirror gives us 10 things that we need to know about Spanish national David Villa. I came out of the gate supporting Spain in Euro 2008 and stuck to my guns during the whole competition (although the Dutch looked really good to me for a minute). I knew nothing about this guy and was pleasantly surprised by his talent- if he heads over to the Spurs, he along with Giovanni dos Santos will make Tottenham the team that I look to grab the EPL’s 5th spot this season.
