A second reference was given by Peter Kay, of the Sporting Chance clinic, which has been supporting Barton while on bail.

Mr Kay said: "Joey recognises he has an addiction to alcohol and the only way forward is total abstinence."

"In fact, it could be said that he is Joey DEACON haha do you remember spackers eh? and white dog shit? buy my t-shirt", he continued.

Newcastle fans have reacted furiously after learning that relatives of Osama Bin Laden are among the front runners to buy their club. The Bin Ladens, who own a Saudi Arabian building firm, are set to bid £300m for the Premier League club. (The Sun)

Sven Arrogance

An English comedian has allegedly tricked a Mexican football club into thinking he was the national team's new coach, Sven-Goran Eriksson.

The Mexican football federation has warned clubs to be on their guard after Derek Williams was given a tour of Club Universidad Nacional's stadium.

He reportedly sent the first division team falsified documents which appeared to have come from the federation.

The federation later released a statement saying that he was a double.

"At the moment the real Eriksson is in the United States. The person claiming to be him is only a lookalike. This shows a complete lack of respect," the statement said.

'Amused'

Derek Williams reportedly spoke to Universidad Nacional's coach, Ricardo Ferretti, saying that he had come to watch some of his players ahead of his first squad selection.

"To be honest I was quite amused," Mr Ferretti said. "The fake Eriksson told me that he was watching my players ahead of his next call-ups, and I believed him."

The Eriksson lookalike was given a tour around the field, accompanied by two glamorous women, and then allegedly issued a statement to unsuspecting journalists and posed for photographs.

Sven-Goran Eriksson was appointed Mexico's new coach in June after being sacked as manager of England's Manchester City club.

Ferguson on crookaldo:

"They think they can ride roughshod over everyone but they won't do it with us," declared the Scot.

"Real Madrid have no moral issues at all.

"In terms of great clubs, Barcelona have far better morality than Real Madrid will ever have.

"Do you not think we have had many expressions of interest about our players from big clubs in Europe?

"Real Madrid are not the only club interested in Ronaldo. But the others are not saying so. They don't get into this nonsense."

Ferguson on Berbatov:

"We have made Tottenham an offer on Berbatov and we have good expectations that this deal will go through,"
Speaking at the start of the club's pre-season tour of South Africa, the Scot said: "I think time will work for us more than against us.

I don't see the difference, but I'm sure he and his faithfull followers do Rolling Eyes

I think he's referring to Madrids constant pressure, putting stories about, getting the press into a stir over it to try and shake shit up. They didn't just say "we've made an offer for Ronaldo".

I see what you're getting at though...

Yeah but this Berbatov to United story has been going on constantly since last summer (having a very visible negative influence on the player), just like the carrick to united one went on for months. I find it a bit odd that these stories appear from thin air before they magically turn out to be true. It's a dog eat dog world and I doubt very much that Ferguson/Utd is any better (or worse) than anyone else, AF just don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot for a change.
