Doncaster recruit Blades veteran



Doncaster have signed Sheffield United defender Alan Wright on a month's loan.
The 35-year-old will be needed at left-back after Rovers lost Wales international Gareth Roberts for at least four weeks with a torn hamstring.
Wright has made 620 league and cup appearances in a lengthy career that has seen him serve eight clubs.
He has made just two appearances for United this season, played one game on loan at Leeds in October and recently had a seven-game loan spell at Cardiff.
Blades boss Neil Warnock said: "I'm pleased to be able to help Doncaster, who have an exciting run-in.
"Alan did well at Cardiff, and I'm sure he'll be an asset for our South Yorkshire neighbours."

La oss håpe at KB kan få suksess i en ny klubb[]. Det fortjener han.

Ikkje mange trenarar som kan skryte på seg dette, men om han er klar for ein "stor" klubb veit eg ikkje. Kanskje Blackie vil passe best i ein middelhavsfararklubb i CCC der han vil få arbeidsro, og byggje stein for stein. Litt som Curbs i Charlton.

Change is the constant that cannot be changed.

Boss expects long Ormerod absence



Preston manager Paul Simpson expects to be without Brett Ormerod for up to six weeks following surgery on a fractured cheekbone.
The 30-year-old striker sustained the injury in the 1-0 defeat by Wolves last week and underwent surgery on Sunday.
While Ormerod was initially suspected to be ruled out for a couple of months, he could be back sooner than anticipated.
Simpson said: "He had the operation on Sunday morning and we're looking at four to six weeks of him being out.

Rocket for Ricketts
PRESTON skipper Graham Alexander is tipping fallen star Michael Ricketts to show why he was once picked for England.
Ricketts has made a big impression at Deepdale since being rescued from the football scrapheap.
The former Bolton star, who won his only cap in a friendly against Holland in 2002, feared his career was over after he was released by Southend in October.
He was snapped up by Preston boss Paul Simpson last month and will revive memories of his days as a Premiership hotshot when he lines up against Manchester City in tomorrow’s FA Cup clash.
Ricketts, 28, has lost two stone since hitting rock bottom earlier this season and Alexander says he looks mean as well as lean.
The North End captain said: “He had a look at himself when he was released by Southend. That was a kick up the backside.
“He could have gone one of two ways but he made a decision to give football a go.
“We haven’t asked him too much about his past â€" he hasn’t opened up about it to be honest.
“Michael has been at Premiership clubs but he’s a level-headed lad and he’s out to do his best for us.
“I played against him in the play-off final when he was at Bolton and he was awesome and it looks like he’s getting back to that form now. I don’t think there’s any personal mission on his part to prove a point to anyone.
“He’s just here to do his best for Preston and he’s F***ed in well and is doing well for us.
“We’ve got a lot of firepower up front, with the likes of Michael and David Nugent, and hopefully they can do it for us on Sunday.”
Ricketts will have even more responsibility, as back-up striker Neil Mellor is doubtful after cutting his knee in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Liverpool.

Man Utd boss backs Smith to make impact
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is backing Alan Smith to force his way back into the first team.
Ferguson said: "He's training terrific but the difficulty, of course, is the form of the team.
"He's been training excellently and we gave him a [reserve] game against Liverpool and he showed he needed a game. When we put him in midfield though he did really well.
"His training is outstanding and improving all the time. I could play him tomorrow, no problem at all.
"The difficulty is we have got so many players playing so well.
"I guess it's selfish but I'm thinking that, when Henrik Larsson goes back to Helsingborgs, Alan Smith will be very important to us.
"I think he sees that as well and hopefully that's the case."

Selvsagt!
Man må bli imponert over Steve Coppell og hva han har fått til både i Reading og andre plasser.
Skulle gjerne sett hva han kunne ha utrettet i en storklubb med gode budsjetter. Ser man vekk fra hans korte tid i Man. City har det stort sett vært i bakgårdklubber - som under hans regime har levert bra prestasjoner. I tillegg har han fått 'gull av gråstein' når det gjelder spillerutvikling, samt en rekke kanonkjøp.

Ikke bare John Arne Riise og Craig Bellamy ("Bellamy angrep Riise med golfkølle") som var i vinden under Liverpools Portugal-ferie denne uka.

Fra VG (http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=138903):

Den portugisiske avisen Record rapporterer at flere Liverpool-spillere skal ha havnet i fyllebråk på den samme turen. Jerzy Dudek, Robbie Fowler og Jermaine Pennant skal ha vært blant de verste.
Liverpool-spillere skal blant annet ha drevet hærverk på biler.

Liverpool stars caught in booze storm
Liverpool stars are being caught up in an alleged booze storm over their training camp in Portugal last week.
The Daily Mail says goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek, Jermaine Pennant and former England striker Robbie Fowler were named by local newspapers as being involved in a drunken spree at the Barringtons Golf and Health Club, in Vale do Lobo, on the Algarve, in the early hours of Friday morning.
Dudek, a hero of Liverpool's Champions League triumph in Istanbul two years ago, was reported to have been handcuffed after the incident, which is alleged to have occurred at the end of a warm-weather training camp undertaken to prepare for Liverpool's Champions League game in Barcelona on Wednesday.
A Liverpool spokesman said last night: "The matter will be dealt with internally."
Local sources claim the trouble began at a bar called Monty's, in Vale do Lobo, where about 15 members of the squad had gone for a drink after a team meal on the eve of their departure from Portugal.
After several rounds of beer, the party reportedly became rowdy and, despite the efforts of captain Steven Gerrard and England international Peter Crouch to defuse the situation, police were called.

Downing urges Woodgate, Viduka to commit to Middlesbrough

Stewart Downing is urging Jonathan Woodgate and Mark Viduka to follow his lead and commit to Middlesbrough.
Downing held talks with Boro boss Gareth Southgate in January and he said: "The boss told me what he wanted from me on the playing side of things, and that's exactly what you want from a manager.
"We've all stressed that we want Woody and Viduka sorted out contract-wise because we want to keep them on board.
"For me, the two of them have to stay.
I don't know what's happening with Woody contract-wise - I'll leave that to the club - but I know he's happy at Middlesbrough.
"He's doing well and he's been injury-free, which is probably a big thing for him."

Sky Blues part with Heath
Coventry City looked to have cleared the path for Iain Dowie's arrival by axing Adrian Heath as caretaker manager.
The Coventry board are expected to meet on Monday to discuss the club's managerial situation following last month's sacking of Micky Adams.
Former Oldham Athletic, Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic boss Dowie is widely expected to be appointed as Adams's successor, and The Sky Blues look to have moved matters on by showing Heath the exit door at The Ricoh Arena.

Ricketts hit by shoulder injury  

Ricketts landed awkwardly on his shoulder in the FA Cup tie
Preston striker Michael Ricketts may be sidelined for up to six weeks after picking up a shoulder injury.
Ricketts, 28, was carried off in the 41st minute of North End's 3-1 FA Cup defeat by Manchester City on Sunday.
"He has popped his shoulder out and could be out for six weeks," manager Paul Simpson told the club website.
"He has gone to hospital and is having a scan to find out the full extent of the damage. I am gutted for Ricko as he was starting to get F***er."
Ricketts landed awkwardly on his shoulder and was replaced up front by Patrick Agyemang.

Av de mange som har forlat Leeds-skuta de siste årene, er det noen som har fremhevet seg m.h.t. respekt, omtanke og takknemmelighet for gamleklubben.

Keano er en av disse 'go-guttene'.
Andre er bl.a. Gary Speed, Gary McAllister, Rob Hulse, Noel Whelan, m.m.
Disse er - i mine øyner - alltid velkommen tilbake til Elland Road enten det er i den ene eller andre sammenhengen.
Med fare for å starte del 274 av en velkjent debatt - Alan Smith - er også velkommen tilbake anyway. Men ikke nevn Rio .....

James markerer seg også utenfor banen....

Alltid mitt i prick
Newcastles målvakt Steve Harper är en sån där snubbe som inte gillar att förlora â€" i nånting. Han har länge varit ”Skatornas” mästare i dart, biljard, bordtennis och golf.
 Men strax innan avresan till Uefa-cupmatchen i Belgien häromdan fick Harper plötsligt stryk i dart av lagkamraten James Milner.
 Det första Harper gjorde när de kom fram till hotellet var att plocka upp en darttavla ur resväskan och kräva revansch. Vilket han fick.

Watford defender linked with Rangers return

Clarke Carlisle has been linked with a return to Queens Park Rangers Football Club.
The 27-year-old central defender played over one hundred games for the Loftus Road club during a four-year stint, which ended when he moved to Leeds United on a free transfer in the summer of 2004.
He then moved on to current club Watford for £100,000 a year later, yet his progress this season has been hampered by a thigh injury which has kept him out of action since last April.
And now Hornets boss Adrian Boothroyd is prepared to let him leave on loan in a bid to regain his match fitness, with a return to former club Rangers being mooted.
“It's important we don't rush him or push him too soon. He must be right before he comes back into contention,” said Boothroyd. "I may consider getting him out on loan."
