Still, anyone remember Wenger bipping on about finishing the whole season unbeaten?

Gallas admitted: "Our aim is to win in Europe, especially after getting knocked out in the semi-final two years in a row, because we know the Premiership will be ours sooner or later."

Just agent leaking rumours to the press to negotiate better terms and a renewed contract, common practice breeds speculation.

sir_drinks_alot · 02-10-2005, 21:37

here's the england England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Austria (8 October) and Poland (12 October):

Goalkeepers: Paul Robinson (Tottenham), Robert Green (Norwich), Chris Kirkland (Liverpool/West Brom)

Defenders: Ashley Cole (Arsenal), Phil Neville (Everton), Luke Young (Charlton), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd), John Terry (Chelsea), Sol Campbell (Arsenal), Ledley King (Tottenham)

Midfielders: David Beckham (Real Madrid), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Jermaine Jenas (Tottenham), Alan Smith (Man Utd), Kieran Richardson (Man Utd)

Strikers: Michael Owen (Newcastle), Wayne Rooney (Man Utd), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham), Darren Bent (Charlton), Peter Crouch (Liverpool).

Good to see Crouch and Campbell in the team.

Ruud agent dismisses exit talk
Ruud van Nistelrooy is staying at Manchester United, according to his agent.

The Dutch striker has been linked with a move to La Liga and possibly Real Madrid at the end of the season. However the player's representative Rodger Linse said Van Nistelrooy is putting down roots in Manchester and is buying a house.

Henry Stalls On Deal Talks

Arsenal striker Thierry Henry says he will not discuss a new contract until the end of the season - prompting speculation that he could be set for a cut-price move to Spain.

Henry will have only 12 months left on his deal when he finally sits down with Arsenal executives next summer, by which time his value will have plummeted.

The Frenchman claims that he wants to concentrate on football rather than contracts, but his reluctance will inevitably lead to speculation that he will wait to see the Gunners' ambition before committing himself.

Being a england fan should come with a Health warning.

caution supporting this team is bad for your Health may cause fits of Anger and unhappiness with delusions of false hope.

Of course, missing from the second story is that Henry already owns a house in London and, indeed, has recently married an English girl. Still, why let facts get in the way of a good story?

Campbell, yes (particularly with Rio Ferdinand's current bout of being rubbish) but Crouch *and* Alan Smith? Total goals between them this season, anyone? [cue sound of Austrian defenders not quaking in their boots]

Oh, and make Terry captain, for Darwin's sake.
