Hey Big Spenders

Despite expectations, Manchester City were not the highest spending club in the transfer window.

It was in fact Tottenham, who spent 48 million.

Liverpool, Everton, Fulham, Sunderland,Middlesborough and West Brom spent nothing.

A total of 160 million pounds was spent but if you take out the two big spenders, the rest who spent only paid out an average of just over 5 million each.

Of course Man City would probably have spent more had they not been the subject of the odd high profile rejection.

What does Georgina think of all this?

Well like many girls I like a man who is prepared to splash a bit of cash.

He's Not Such An Ugly Duckling

There once was an ugly duckling.

Or rather a gosling to be more exact.

One day a strange thing happened.

The lights went out.

And when they went back on .................

He had turned into a beautiful goose.

Ooohh What A Day

We've got some friends coming over for a meal later.

They are both Everton fans apparently. They don't know it yet but we plan to play the Talk Sport Football Quiz with them. Its on DVD and interactive so we can play as teams.

We bought it in the pound shop a few weeks ago. Each round is introduced by one or two of the Talk Sport presenters. It's as cheesy as they come of course but stretching and funny.

Of course, being Saturday I have had my ears tuned to the football world. After listening to the Talk Sport commentry on the Fulham/United match I excitedly awaited the full time results.

And what a day;

Newcastle lost. It can't be. You are in quick sand Kevin. They can't afford to wait. You are about to sink.

Tottenham - what a kicking! What on earth was going on at St James' Park today?

And I hear there were fights on the pitch at the Chelsea match as Avram Grant and his team put two fingers up to his critics.

Oh and I do fear for Arsenal. A narrow miss and only a draw in any event. I have a feeling the Red Devils are going to get the better of them again this season.

Meantime, both my lover and I are celebrating 1 - 0 wins, although the Royals are still languishing in the relegation zone, whereas we are looking a much healthier 17th.

Our guests will of course have to wait before they find out about their fate against Portsmouth tomorrow.
