England Retain Ashes, City Land Lescott, Everton Eye Russian Star & Arsenal Urged To Spend

Footy Matters Daily Round Up

Good Day Footy Nutters!

English success makes crisp the air this morning with heads held high following Australia’s remarkably English-esqe collapse securing victory in the Ashes.

Meanwhile, the GB 4x100m Sprint team managed a commendable Bronze medal at the World Championship’s in Berlin with signs of potential within the team.

The Weekends action spills over tonight when Liverpool take on Aston Villa in what is probably a must-win game for both teams. Sounds crazy so early in the season yet it could be a second defeat of the season for both teams. Got ‘Draw’ written all over it then?

WEBB EARNS SOME RESPECT

Ref’s always get some stick so we’re happy to cut Howard Webb some slack and commend him from preventing Wigan’s Hugo Rodallega hand-bag Nemanja Vidic.

FOOTBALLER RECOVERS FROM ATTACK

West Ham’s Calum Davenport was the victim of a vicious attack over the weekend and as he remains in a serious but stable condition we wish him a swift recovery.

CITY PART WITH £24M TO ADD LESCOTT

Everton hold out for a staggering fee before parting with want-away Joleon Lescott with The Toffees linked with Boro duo David Wheater and Robert Huth as well as Bolton’s Gary Cahill as potential replacements.

EVERTON SET TO SIGN RUSSIAN STAR

£10m of the Lescott fee is set to go to Lokamotiv Moscow for their impressive Russian midfielder Diniyar Bilyaletdinov with Everton hoping he sends defenders and commentators into as much of a frenzy as the spell check on our computer as you type his name.

ARSHAVIN URGES GUNNERS SHOPPING SPREE

After demolishing Everton and Portsmouth in their two opening fixtures, Andrey Arshavin reckons Arsenal need to add to the squad to maintain their good start. We’re not sure Wenger and the Board agree so Arsenal fans what do you think? Do Arsenal need to spend more and who should you buy with only 8 Days to go before the transfer window shuts.
