Grown men and handbags

Ooh, it's heating up at Stamford Bridge. In the course of just a week or so, there was rift between Jose Mourinho and Roman Abramovich, a backing down by the Russian tycoon, and possibly a potential coup. Roman's buddy Avram Grant, of Maccabi (both Tel Aviv and Haifa) and Israeli National Team fame, is set for a move to Chelsea. Apparently, Grant will help Andriy Shevchenko with his struggles (being rich, model wife, can't score goals). Think Jose will last the season? [Guardian]

Oh Hleb, why now? Arsenal midfielder, feeling the Gunners have been left out of the spotlight, decided to give his uninvited opinion on Sheva. Perhaps Arsene Wenger is feeling left out in the London papers with all that's going on at the Bridge. [The Sun]

And since we're talking verbal handbags, how about two men who should know better, given their class and influence in the game. [Telegraph]

How many satirical Mastercard commericals are being created as I type? Ah, what the hell . . .
Match tickets to watch your team play a boring 4-5-1 in World Cup qualifying? Several thousands of dollars. Watching FIFA do its best to emulate the most corrupt of third world countries as it controls the largest arena for the world's largest sport? Priceless. [Yahoo Sports]
