Hallelujah, the sport of the Gods returns tomorrow as the English Football League kicks off what is the most exciting of campaigns – a footy World Cup year.
It has been one hell of a tumultuous pre-season for 90minutesonline. Mercurial captain and editor, David “Hooligan” Moftakhar has gone AWOL, although rumours have surfaced that he was spotted shooting pool and prostitutes at one of Adriano’s infamous transsexual parties in Sao Paulo.
The exit door has seen more action than a Joey Barton piss-up with combative midfielder Tom Osborne’s career thought to be over after sustaining an imploded cruciate ligament and a ruptured testicle, while flash in the pan import Benjamino Cullen couldn’t resist the lure of the caretaker sweeper role at Spanish giants Extremadura.
Football has produced numerous fashion disasters both on and off the pitch.
The summer may still technically be here but already the new season has kicked-off in the Netherlands. The Eredivisie is the first major domestic league to have started in Europe, the next to follow will be Ligue 1 in France this coming Saturday. The Dutch league campaign began last weekend and so finally there is some real competitive football to report on.
Arsenal have been reasonably active in this summer's transfer window, but rather than appeasing the fans who increasingly cry out for reinforcements, Arsène Wenger has been selling off assets. With the departure confirmed yesterday of Kolo Touré to Manchester City for £15million, Arsenal have brought in roughly £40million worth of revenue. At least in terms of finance- Arsenal are on the rise again!
The start of the football season is fast creeping up on us once again, although in all honesty you've probably been looking forward to the kick-off in August ever since the end of last season. There have of course been some major transfer coups over the summer, punctuated by some unexpected moves- most of which have involved Manchester City in some way.
