Tuesday Football Thread (invisible edition)
No doubt someone else has done one of these and I just can't see it, but what the hell... I've got the time this morning.
Transfer deadline day sees only £30m spent - the smallest amount in any window since the system was introduced - down from £170m. Pick of the deals looks like Robbie Keane on loan to Celtic for around £60k per week. Portsmouth shift Begovic for £3.25m, and Mido is loaned out to West Ham from Middlesbrough. Nicky Shorey eventually signs for Fulham after they prematurely add then remove him from their website. Very little inspires really, although Benjani did miss the deadline again, which amuses me slightly.
Togo are furious about their 4 year ban from the ACoN and state they'll fight it. Fingers crossed.
Fabio Capello is in no rush to decide whether Terry is to remain captain or not - probably quite sensibly waiting to see if the squad dynamic changes or not. In the meanwhile, the red-tops'll no doubt be doing everything they can to wank themselves silly over this story.
Tonight: Hull vs Chelsea in the league and FA Cup replays at both Palace and Wigan. Nervous times at Watford as they wait to see if their undersoil heating broke again before tonight's game with Sheffield United. Hendon host Canvey Island in a game that's either going to be postponed for little apparent reason or result in a 2-0 defeat.
