Anybody up for a spot of fantasy footy for the up and coming world cup ?

If enough people are interested, I could set up a cableforum league

Or Russ can use his superb modding skills, and he can do it.

Raise hands now people.

Mikel nears Chelsea
Controversial Nigerian soccer talent John Obi Mikel may finally be near his dream of playing for top English club Chelsea. Apparently sold by Oslo Lyn to Manchester United last year, a legal dispute has raged around him since.

According to Aftenposten's sources, the three clubs have come to an agreement, where Lyn and Manchester United will be compensated financially in order for Mikel to return to action, and for the club he has always favored.

It just goes to show contracts really do mean nothing, how did he get a work permit anyway?

Depends how many caps he has.

TheDaddy · 22-05-2006, 17:00

I think he has only got a couple of caps other wise United would have signed him two years ago after the under 17 championships.

A few pics of the latest mural's in Belfast. (Esp for you english fan's)

Good to see talents being put into these rather than sectarian ones.

AFAIK they had to wait till he was 18.

TheDaddy · 22-05-2006, 18:31

That would explain it then, I also noticed that he has not played since September, something that should prepare him for life at Chelsea.

Good documentary on Beckham tonight. Was a very interesting insight. He came across as pretty intelligent.

Was interesting seeing a press conference where he was asked about Arsenal. He said that "Arsenal are a great team, they have a great manager etc" he then mentioned that they were having a poor run of results. The headline in the paper the next day.. "Beckham taunts Arsenal".
