Ashley Young and David Bentley in the England squad but no place for Jermaine Pennant? For smurf's sake, McClaren.

Also, with Yakubu on board, Everton could well be pushing those North London lovers for that elusive fourth spot. Mind you, I do think I underestimated both Arsenal and Liverpool at the start of the season.

And now the Premiership really is the Cold War. The north is the USA (Liverpool, Man United...Aston Villa sorta I guess) and the south is Russia (Arsenal, Chelsea, Portsmouth). USA! USA! USA!

EDIT: oh , just heard Pako Ayesteran is leaving Liverpool. He's the assistant manager, for those of you who don't know, which I assume is all of you. If you've ever noticed an angry looking bald fella sitting next to Rafa, that's him. This is a heavy blow.
