These are the, er, Champions?
Well, not really if this weeks Champions League bore fest is anything to go by, as 'tactical' genius of a manager Guss Hiddink (he really did mean to do that ya know!) took Chelsea, just like Stoke, only richer, to Espana where they parked their millions of pounds worth of overrated arses in front of Barcelona's goal to produce one of the most uninspiring and negative Champions League football games since, ages ago.
And the Spanish weren't too happy either as El local newspapers branded them 'negative' and, well, a bit rubbish really, while Barca coach Pep Guardiola reckoned the Blues should be punished for playing such crap football telling everyone who'd listen:
"Chelsea where constantly interrupting play with fouls while we played our normal attacking game".
Guardiola obviously missing the entire point of football while choosing to go blind for the 80% of the match that Alves spent on the floor.
Over at Old Trafford, things weren't much better as the most exciting moments of their Big Cup clash with Arsenal was one goal, Almunia taking one in the face, someone hilariously holding an I 'heart' Tevez sign and Ronaldo getting mugged by Gibbs after pretending to be fouled - then jumping up and down like someone had stolen his pink lippy - which you can watch in all it's glory HERE!
Transfer SHOCKER: Everton to swoop for Owen!?
This week the Daily Express is reporting that lil Mickey Owen could be making a sensational return to Liverpool (no, not when Newcastle get beat 6-1 by the Reds this weekend on their sinking Championship, er ship) as an EVERTONIAN!
It has been reported that the Blues will not pay lil Mickey's crazzy wages (100,000-a-week anyone?) basically cause they have no money, but they are willing to bring him in for a cut-price deal which will no doubt see Michael 'I'm not injury-prone' Owen warming their bench for most of the season, shocker indeed.
IPL bosses could Kop the Reds!?
This week highly regarded and always reliable British tabloid
The News of The World reported that part one of Liverpool FC's
owners Tom Hicks (or as we like to call him, old man muppet) had
been in talks with boss' of the Delhi Daredevils about a
multi-billion-zillion-pound Liverpool takeover - LFC bosses have
dismissed these claims, as you would, if you thought your club was
going to turn into an all dancing, all singing, Bollywood
extravaganza with complete with cheerleaders and shiny teeth -
after all they ain't United.
Everyone hates Frank
It's been a tough old week for Frank Lampard. After taking time out of his busy schedule of getting abused by West Ham fans (where he will sensationally get more abuse when he pulls on a Hammers shirt during a testimonial match for academy director Tony Carr) and playing in crap Champions League games, he got all 'emotional' after a London DJ called him 'scum' for ditching his former wag Elen Rives.
Frank didn't like that much, obviously, so rang the DJ to have a go!
Listen to Emo Frank have a rant HERE!
Argentinean ball boy takes one for the team
In England we're used to Rooney getting all punchy with innocent corner flags, Oscar for Drogba getting all falling over with the innocent floor and CRon getting all jumpy at innocent refs when they don't give him a penalty that he clearly doesn't deserve anyway, but this week an Argentinean goalkeeper went one step further after he was sent off for throwing a ball at an, er, innocent ball boy!
This, according to reports, is the latest in a series of incidents involving ball boys, who are 'often' accused of time wasting while the home side are defending a 'slender lead.'
The incident occurred after the ball boy, took his sweet time returning the ball to Gimnasia's goalie Pezzutti for a goal kick in the 70th, by which time Pezzutti decided instead of throwing the ball to his team - it might be a lot more fun to throw it at the ball boy.
Watch the innocent ball boy take one for the team - in reason 563 why we love football - with your eyes, HERE!

'Arry Redknapp quote of the week
'Arry Redknapp got all furious this week after referee Howard Webb awarded a penalty to Manchester United, which 'Arry and his merry men are convinced helped United then score 4 more goals.
After the clash a fuming 'Arry followed Webb down the tunnel showering him with fury spit before telling the BBC. "If he's our top ref, I'd hate to see the worst."
If that's the case then the next time Rob 'we have no idea why you are even allowed on this pitch' Styles' refs a game, we suggest 'Arry covers his eyes with hands and gets Bent to put fingers in ears whilst making nenor noises!
And lastly!
