As its a closed season we're gonna have to survive on the scraps of transfer gossip to feed our footie habit for the next few months.

There's usually loads of rumour mongering so how about a sticky to keep tabs on the comings and goings.

I heard Arsenal might finally be able to off load Kanu to Valencia in return for someone (not very helpful that but can't remember) plus cash.

Also there were rumours about John...

In the end it did give Keegan the chance to go into one of his dim-witted rants after the game about Nasri 'slicing him down' :rolleyes:

, which deflected attention away from what was one of the most one-sided games ever seen. it was a little trip after what was a pretty nasty tackle by barton.

I´ve long had a theory that Alan Shearer, as a pundit, overuses the term "back of the net". This weekend I put it to the test. On MotD he said it seven times, compared to zero by both the other contributors. I think he deserves an extra point, since he even said it about a game that was a 0-0 draw.

I can´t guarantee to watch every episode of MotD this season, so, urban, help me in my quest to enumerate!]]> 35 Let’s be Frank, it’s Spurs 25/26.
