ALEX FERGUSON says he does not need to spend big to regain the Premier League title.
The Manchester United boss has forked out just 16million this summer on two youngsters - Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez - while their neighbours Manchester City have splashed nearly 77m so far.

Tottenham the first to ban the vuvuzela

 

By Soccernet staff

 

The noisy trumpets caused much controversy at the World Cup in South Africa and a number of Football League sides have already barred the instruments from their stadia, while rugby officials also took the step of banning them from next year's World Cup in New Zealand.

 

However, the Premier League said during the World Cup - where the noise made by vuvuzelas was one of the main talking points - that it would be left to individual clubs to decide whether to outlaw them.

 

Spurs have now made their position clear, with a statement on their official website ruling out their use next season.

 

''Following discussions with the Police and representatives from the local licensing authorities, the club will not be permitting vuvuzelas or similar instruments into White Hart Lane on match days,'' it read.

 

''We are concerned that the presence of the instruments within the stadium pose unnecessary risks to public safety and could impact on the ability of all supporters to hear any emergency safety announcements.

 

''We are very proud of the fantastic atmosphere that our supporters produce organically at White Hart Lane and we are all very much looking forward to this continuing into the forthcoming season.''

Liverpool signing Joe Cole down to Steven Gerrard says Roy Hodgson


Pull the other one! 90k a week, the highest bid. Had it been from Citeh, who finished higher, everyone would be slagging him off.

A shoot to kill policy would not go amiss.

Joe Cole has revealed he signed for Liverpool because they are the 'biggest club in England'. The England midfielder officially signed his four-year deal - worth £80,000 a week - after leaving Chelsea on a free transfer this summer.


Nutter status confirmed.

Had to laugh at the bit where he talks about the hairs on the back off his neck standing up walking out for the CL semi, and how he's looking forward to playing infront of that atmosphere every week.

its the same as the tools who sign for Rangers and Celtic, when they say that "it was always their dream to play for.... (Enter Bigoted Glasgow club here)"...just some BS to get the small minded fans on their side.

Pretty sure Robbie Keane said that when he signed for Liverpool, then a year later said it again when siging on loan at Celtic
