Egypt take on Ghana today in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, with the Pharaohs going for their third successive victory in the tournament. On their way to the final, Egypt have beaten three teams that have qualified for this summer’s World Cup – Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Algeria – while they will be absent from South Africa.

A lot has been said in the media this weekend about England captain John Terry, new revelations about his private life came out this weekend which involved a team mates ex girlfriend. It looks like John Terry has been going behind his wife’s back and sleeping with Wayne Bridges ex girlfriend which probably happens a lot in the real world but being England captain pushes a bigger spotlight onto the story.

This week’s stunner is not just a pretty face – Linda is a strong minded individual, who knows she wants and will work her hardest to achieve it. She fell in love with art and playing the piano since the age of 4, they bring out the sophisticated side of her.

Big John as just been refused any more covering up by a judge after he has been found out to have been having it off with an unnamed team-mates Doris. What a t8ssbag!

Sol Campbell vs Wayne Rooney will be the definitive battle of the biggest game of the season so far, and Rooney will be irresistible. The leg injury suffered by Thomas Vermalaen on Wednesday night at Villa Park will rule him out against the Premier League champions and Campbell will almost certainly have to start the game and play the full 90 minutes.

Man Utd 3 – 1 Man City (agg 4 – 3)

Manchester United once again proved that class is permanent with a convincing 3-1 win in a fiercely contested semi-final derby.

It doesn’t matter how much I refresh the ticker, nothing seems to change. From Sky Sports transfer centre to the Yahoo timetable the stories are not changing it what seems to be an awfully quiet transfer window. I’m hoping that the past three weeks have been the calm before the storm and that with a week left, the market is going to go crazy and old Andy Burton on Sky Sports News can have another day claiming to have texts from the world of football when it’s really his Mum.

I was shocked to see that Algeria had beaten tournament favorites Ivory Coast in the African Nations Cup, this result will have been a major positive for England as it highlights the danger of Algeria. I’m sure Fabio Capello would have been watching this game closely and would have learnt a lot from it.

With the World Cup less than 6 months away, we have decided to start the build up early doors with an A to Z list of our favourite players who set the World Cup alight. Some are recent stars, some are relics from the days of black and white TV but all were mustard. The thing is, each week we will be using just stars whose surname was that week’s letter, eg: this week it is letter A which gives us Ardilles, Aguas, Aldier etc etc. Tricky already! Gawd help the banter when we get to M, – Messi, Maradonna, Maldine, Moore, ….McCoist!!!

We all have our favorite players, Jimmy Bullard, Gazza to name but a few. Players with personality who universally unite opinion.

But what about those players who really, really, annoy the f***k out of us. Here’s our Ultimate 11 players who we think deserve a slap or two!
