Cable Forum - Football Season 2011/12

Even though l am not a Arsenal fan and was out last night it was still wonderful to turn on the sports news when l came home and see a absolute true legend score a typical classy Henry goal and the crowd reaction when he scored was wonderful to behold.

for those saying he was offside this proves he is onside

Oh yeah he was obviously onside. Even that picture is taken somewhat after the ball was been played, when Song played the ball he was on that white line and suddenly speed up as the ball was played. His instincts and movement are still there it would seem.

Manchester City have opened talks with Inter Milan over the sale of striker Carlos Tevez.

City have held discussions with AC Milan but are frustrated with the Italian champions' insistence on a loan deal with an option to buy.

Tevez's representatives have yet to hold discussions with Inter and no fee has been agreed for the 27-year-old.

The Argentine prefers a move to AC Milan and his advisors want to finalise a deal before the window closes.

The Football Association has rejected Manchester City's appeal against Vincent Kompany's red card in the 3-2 FA Cup defeat by Manchester United.

The defender, 25, will serve a four-match ban immediately for his two-footed tackle on Nani.

Kompany will miss the Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool and the return tie on 25 January.

He will also be absent from the league trip to Wigan on Monday and the home game against Tottenham on 22 January.

An FA statement said: "The suspension consists of a statutory three-match suspension for serious foul play plus one additional game given this is Kompany's second dismissal of the season."

Correct decision by the FA.

Yes I have changed my view on it after the game. Two footed and, crucially, he wasn't in control and just threw himself into the tackle and that is very dangerous play. It didn't look bad because Nani jumped and he won the ball. However it also could have been a Shawcross on Ramsey moment.

Players have a duty to avoid injury to other players on the pitch. When you throw yourself at a player, moving at speed, you can no longer control what happens and you are effectively gambling with the chances of them picking up a serious injury. When Shawcross went into Ramsey he just lunged at the ball but this time the gamble didn't pay off and Ramsey lost a year of his career. All because of a reckless, ill-timed, tackle.

Finally it's simply poor tackling. Contain, wait, and time it to perfection with one leg and a clean dispossession.

Liverpool are set to make a shock move for Chelsea striker Saloman Kalou as they aim to steal him from under the noses of Arsenal and Paris St Germain.

Arsene Wenger was confident of landing the Ivory Coast star, who has found himself surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge this season under new Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas.

But talkSPORT has been told Liverpool have now made an enquiry for the 26-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

Kenny Dalglish views Kalou as a financially sound alternative to a possible bid for Darren Bent, who could cost in excess of Â£25m, and likes the fact he can play as either a second striker or out wide.

PSG have also been monitoring the situation and could be an attractive alternative for Kalou with a host of former Chelsea men already at the French giants, including new boss Carlo Ancelotti, Claude Makelele and ex-Blues coach Paul Clement
