Wayne Rooney will be fit for the World Cup, but will face between two and four weeks on the sidelines.

It was déjà Vu as England’s talisman had the whole nation shouting the words, ‘not again’ as he fell to the ground clutching his ankle, in what was originally feared to be another metatarsal injury.

Mancini Loses his Cool

Following recent complaints from several eyewitnesses Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has had his cool confiscated in a dramatic dawn raid on his Manchester home. A police spokesperson said: “The cool was found stuffed inside a mattress along with a contraband guide to scarf-knotting and an illegally imported overcoat deemed too well-tailored to have been obtained in the UK.”

Her Majesty’s Department of Cool have charged Mancini with gross misuse of the privilege of cool bestowed on him as an Italian visitor to the UK and have set a date for his appearance at the Court of Cool.

If radio and internet reports are correct then Martin O’Neil has quit as Aston Villa manager.

It seems like its that time of the season when all pundits try their hand at a bit of mystic meg, so I decided that this week I’m going to have a go myself. I mean how hard can it be?

It’s been a while. Again. A few months ago Marceltipool looked no more. Several aborted attempts to rejuvenate the interest in training had seemingly knocked the final nails in the coffin and the ideal of a football club for the Olympique de Marseille, Celtic and Liverpool-friendly in London appeared to have simply returned to my imagination.

This week’s little saucepot is sultry Kelly from Kent. Kelly has appeared on Broadway and loves nothing more then watching her beloved Man United play. She’s also massive McFly fan, yes, she really is!

You can catch the lovely Kelly singing on the Official UKFF World Cup anthem very soon.

I know I’m a big boy now and I’ve been trying not to cry but I’m still dead upset that I can’t go on the school trip to South Africa. Even though I got a gold star from the nurse for being brave my leg still really really really hurts, and it won’t be better in time.

As another manager, this time Tony Mowbray, bites the dust you can be forgiven for thinking that Rafa Benitez might actually be a cat. After all the man seems to have had as many lives. On countless occassions he has been written off and seemingly on his way out of Anfield yet much to the disdain of many he still remains. If he’d have lost the whole Kop he may have been sacked already but it’s a credit to the Liverpool supporters that they have stood behind him. In my eyes they should now let him walk alone.

Dear Dexy

I am writing this on Wednesday morning. I had no sleep last night, having watched the shambolic performance by the team against Wolves.

A good keeper these days is hard to find.

Here’s our current number 1 in action. Watch out for his Superman 2 like miss kick, which would be more at home on Harry Hills TV Burp than on a Premier League football pitch.
