Fran Merida has agreed a new deal with Arsenal, but hasn't signed it yet - this comes after intense pressure from Atletico Madrid for him to sign with them. www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12040_5675978,00.html

Chelsea are also going to sell the naming rights to their stadium - they'll probably choose the most ludicrous name possible, and won't even keep Stamford Bridge like Newcastle are keeping St. James' Park.

One of the worst examples of a team conning the referee ever - Fulham were up 1-0 at Roma, two cases of Roma rolling around in phantom pain led to two Fulham red cards, and Roma went on to "win" 2-1. Disgraceful behaviour by Roma, and shame on the referee for falling for it.

Apparently they will keep the name Stamford Bridge in it somewhere. Might as well chuck my two pence into the debate. Honestly, although I do find that it rubs me up the wrong way everyone is still going to refer to them as St James' Park, Stamford Bridge etc especially with them leaving the old name in there. I'm glad we're getting a big screen in the stadium though, I've felt for a while now that St James' needed one.

Chelsea must be the first big club to sell off their stadium name, I mean, surely they don't have to, they have mountains of cash?
Money is money I guess.

How far into the A-League season is it now EoE?
Also, FA Cup starts proper tonight with Round 1, plus a Championship derby featuring Coventry City and... well... Derby. Might give it a Jeff Duke.

Chelsea have had their transfer ban lifted for the time being whilst the Court of Arbitration for Sport consider their appeal against FIFA's ruling. Since the hearing won't take place until the spring, they can sign players in Janaury. If the CAS finds against them in that hearing, they can't sign anyone for the entire 10/11 season, which will devastate them.

New Mexico defender Elizabeth Lambert has been suspended after pulling the ponytail of BYU striker Kassidy Shumway in addition to various other fouls throughout the game. Lambert only got a yellow card in the game for a trip. A video of the incidents is in the following link... sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=4629837

Burnley beating Manchester City 2-1 at half time - City are starting to come back though, and I feel they'll probably complete the comeback and win.

Are Arsenal worth the 3-0 Steve?
