The Grab: 12.19


You gotta love the EPL, or all of Britain if you like, cultivating the drama surrounding top flight teams, their gaffers, and the stupid (and sometimes true) things they say. Will the Toffees sue the Special One over his criticism of Andy Johnson?

Considering Moyes' boys from Liverpool have more to worry about than what some Portugeezer said about their dynamo up front (qualifying for Europe, perhaps), is this the best on offer for Christmastime controversey? Falling just short of labelling the sometime England forward as a cheat, which in itself is quite rich considering what the entire footballing world thinks of Chelsea's forward men.

All I can say is that I'd be surprised if anything came of this, and this is even more boring than when Jose Mourinho called Wenger a "voyeur". It is a French word, after all. But then again, perhaps so is "diver".
It's just getting a bit desperate now, isn't it? Will the Queen's favorite Canuck ever make it to Old Trafford? Funny how he was happy as a clam in Munich, and now that Sir Fergie wants him, he misses his family (in England)? Let's just hope he doesn't disappoint like Michael Carrick when he becomes a Red Devil.
