Poor cheets will have to resort to watching the game from outside the pub window. :(

EDIT: Haha, teams with the most banned fans:

Leeds
Cardiff
Newcastle
Millwall

Good to see the old stereotypes aren't dead yet.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has moved to reassure supporters that the club have no intention of selling Gareth Bale.

The Wales international has become one of the most in-demand players in the Premier League after a series of scintillating displays this season.

The 21-year-old scored a hat-trick in Spurs' 4-3 defeat by Inter Milan in Italy, before running the European champions ragged as Rafa Benitez's men were beaten at White Hart Lane.

That has led to speculation that Bale could be on his way to pastures new, but Levy insists that is not the case.

Levy told the club's AGM: "I've never deemed us to be a selling club, if you look at the big transfers which have taken place since I've been chairman.

"Both (Dimitar) Berbatov and Michael Carrick had two years left on their contract, both players wanted to go and that was the reason they were sold.

"But in the case of Gareth he's got a long contract and I can assure you he will not be sold."

The transfer window opens again on 1st January, but Levy has admitted that there is unlikely to be much business done by the White Hart Lane club.

Redknapp

Levy added: "The January transfer window is again upon us. We currently have the largest squad in the Premier League.

"We shall look to rationalise... Overall, we do not anticipate a busy transfer window."

Manager Harry Redknapp has also been linked with a move from White Hart Lane when the England job becomes available following Fabio Capello's reign.

And Levy conceded that is a bridge the club may well have to cross if the Football Association come calling.

"Harry is on a long-term contract. If and when they contact us we will have to deal with it accordingly," Levy added.

As for the prospect of the club itself moving from White Hart Lane to the 2012 Olympic stadium, Levy insisted he was aware of the mood of the fans.

Many fans favour redeveloping the current site but Levy added: "I'm a fan, I have lots of friends who are fans, and I have lots of interaction with fans everyday.

"I do talk to people and have feedback so without any surveys I can tell you I have a pretty good feel as to what the mood is."

My friend needed a Bone Marrow transplant & he found a perfect match in Argentina. The operation took place & was a great success.

My thanks go out to Diego, Marrow Donor.

Mario Balotelli believes that Manchester City's new-look strike force is the best in world football.

Currently out with a knee injury, the 20-year-old says he cannot wait to link up with new £27m signing Edin Dzeko and the club's captain Carlos Tevez.

"Our attack of Balotelli-Tevez-Dzeko is the best in the world," he said on Tuesday. "We are the strongest. Better even than Barcelona and Real Madrid."

The Italian also claimed he is better than Manchester United's Wayne Rooney.

"He [Rooney] is a very good player but not the best in Manchester," former Inter Milan striker Balotelli, who also feels that United fans admire him, told Italian newspaper Gazetta dello Sport.

"Do United fans insult me? No, they stop me in the street and say: 'Mario, come to us'. But I dream of beating them because I know how much the City fans care. They are wonderful with me."

To be fair Citeh, probably do have us beat on in-form strikers.

Although it is funny to think of a bunch of United lads shouting 'Mario, come to us' to Mancini on some deserted Manchester cul-de-sac... probably with their hands behind their backs...

ARSENAL star Denilson has rocked the club by insisting Cesc Fabregas is not a good captain. Brazilian Denilson, preparing for tonight's FA Cup replay at Leeds, said: "Fabregas is the captain but he is not a leader. "It's a personality thing and a leader can be young. It's something they are born with. "We are lacking leadership and we need leadership to go forward. There isn't a leader. I don't see one player as a leader. "At Arsenal it's more of a collective team at the moment, everyone is talking -but a leader is always important for a team." Midfielder Denilson, 22, also had strong views on Arsenal's goalkeeping situation. Wojciech Szczesny is set to start tonight in place of the injured Lukasz Fabianski, yet Denilson believes neither is the club's No 1 stopper. He said: "The best keeper at Arsenal is Manuel Almunia." But Denilson gave his full backing to manager Arsene Wenger. The Brazilian added: "His work is amazing and I admire all he has done giving opportunities to young players."

Is this an actual interview with the sun or ripped off from somewhere else?

It was always about numbers when Wenger went with youth, some will just not be good enough. Denilson is utter rubbish, and no, I don't rate his defensive work that much. Him and Diaby have to go sooner than later.

Edit - anybody read Arseblog this morning? That's pretty short from The Sun.
