The Grab: 12.24

Another (sort of) coaching swap, this time in the EPL, as Pardew gets a second crack at staying up, and he gets to stay in London too. If you're lucky to have the week off, check out his first start as his new squad welcomes Fulham on Wednesday. [Fox Sports]

Abramovich vows to spend less in the transfer market, that is unless they get can get someone for around $30M to keep Wayne Bridge company. And he gives a rare interview. [ESPN Soccernet, Guardian Unlimited]

Sadly, I was joking earlier with AC about who the nutter was that would wake up so early (on the West Coast) to watch this match, ultimately deciding its impending fate as anything but a snoozer. [Sporting Life]
