KEWELL DESPERATE TO RETURN

Harry Kewell admits he is frustrated by life on the sidelines but is still some way off making his Liverpool comeback.

The Australian winger has not played since the World Cup in the summer due to foot and groin problems and is not expected back again before the end of February.

The 28-year-old is now back in England after undergoing surgery in Australia and is anxious to get back on the field.

Kewell told the club's website, liverpoolfc.tv: "At this stage I'd just love to play against anyone.

"I'd go out there and play by myself at the moment because I miss football that much. I just want to play. I can't kick a ball right now.

SMITH GOING NOWHERE, INSISTS FERGIE

Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Everton they have no chance of prising Alan Smith away from Manchester United next month.

Smith has been working on a personal fitness programme after failing to re-establish himself in United's senior squad since his recovery from the horrific double leg fracture he suffered at Liverpool last February.

Hardt regime fra ex-Leeds' gutter

COVENTRY assistant boss Adrian Heath reckons that manager Micky Adams will be worse than Scrooge if they lose at Luton today.

Adams has already banned alcohol over the festive period.

And the Coventry boss has been miserable after his side lost 5-0 at West Brom last Saturday.

Heath admitted: â€œHe has not been in the best of moods. I donâ€™t think the carol singers will have made much money out of him this week!

â€œWe know Luton is going to be a difficult place to get a result.

â€œI am confident we can get something though.â€

Lover Viduka ny kontrakt

Etter en sterk kamp av Mark Viduka, er Boro-boss Gareth Southgate innstilt på å kjempe for å få beholde spissen

Middlesbrough kapret tre viktige poeng hjemme mot et kriserammet Charlton, og australske Mark Viduka var svært sentral.

Viduka kom ikke på scoringslisten, men han sto for en målgivende pasning og ellers godt spill.

- Jeg ønsker at han skal bli, han er en strålende spiller for oss, sa Boro-manager Gareth Southgate etterpå, ifølge Sportinglife.

Viduka uttrykte i forrige uke frustrasjon over at han ikke var tilbudt ny kontrakt av klubben. Hans nåværende kontrakt går ut i sommer.

- De skal prate med Mark om en forlengelse av kontrakten, lovte Southgate etter seieren over Charlton.

Terry forlater Huddersfield

Ex-player Terry Yorath sluttet for et par dager siden som hovedtrener i Huddersfield Town. Han vil tilbringe mer tid med familien, er hans forklaring. Vår gamle storspiller har vært sykmeldt de siste tre månedene etter å ha blitt rammet av 'pancreatitis' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatitis).

Ser frem til 're-United'

Ex-Leeds kulthelten Tommy Wright opplever gode dager for tiden. Som John Sheridans assistent i Oldham blir det seier på seier - og nå ser han frem til å møte Leeds neste år. Dersom Oldham rykker opp - og Leeds ikke rykker ned.

The friends who would be re-United

LIFE is beginning, at the age of 40, to take on another rosy glow for Tommy Wright who, as a teenager, swiftly achieved cult status among Leeds United fans as a rampant striker.

These days he is assistant to Oldham Athletic manager John Sheridan and between them these Leeds old boys are carrying all before them in their fledgling careers.
Together they have created an exciting brand of football at Boundary Park that has propelled the club into the League One promotion reckoning and brought scouts flooding to see the products of their play-football-as-it-should-be-played mentality.
"Tommy Wright Wright Wright" has always been heralded as one of life's nice-to-know guys, with a sense of humour borne out by his choice of lifetime partner Joanne, who was one of Benny Hill's Angels.
The extraordinary crossover between Leeds and Oldham down the years is a subject close to Tommy's heart and he recalls: "It's been remarkable. There we were as kids at Leeds â€" Shez, me, Dennis Irwin, Andy Ritchie and Andy Linighan â€" and all within a short time we were over the Pennines as part of the Joe Royle revolution at Oldham.

GIR OPP MILNER!

O'NEILL ABANDONS MILNER CHASE

Martin O'Neill has abandoned hopes of signing Newcastle winger James Milner in January but insists it is vital to strengthen as the current squad may soon "be out on its feet".

O'Neill was set to sign Milner, who spent last season on loan at Villa Park, on the final day of the August transfer window only for Magpies boss Glenn Roeder to block the deal at the 11th hour.

The Irishman had been initially hoping to reactivate the move when the window reopens next month but, with Milner now a first team regular at St James' Park, he accepts that is unlikely to happen.

O'Neill, whose side visit Tottenham on Boxing Day, said: "We were disappointed in August because Newcastle allowed us to speak to James Milner but it was their prerogative to bring him back before he had signed the documents for us.

"Since that bid fell through, I have not spoken to Glenn Roeder about the situation.

"Now, with Milner playing almost every week for Newcastle, I would be very surprised if Newcastle would now let him go. That's the way it goes - but I do intend to strengthen next month."

Julebord - ingen spøk

Julebord og -fester i engelsk fotball er ingen spøk. Nesten hvert år leser vi om slåssing, voldtekstpåstander, overstadig beruselse m.m.

Hvor smeller bomben i år?

Svenske Aftonbladet har laget en oversikt, hvor både Leeds og en rekke ex-players figurerer:

- Robbie Fowler og Jamie Carragher i Liverpools julefest 1998. Fyll samt offenlig sex med innleide strippere.
- Woodgate og Bowyer i Safzan Najeib-saken i 2000. Orker ikke å tenke på den en gang - det var med dette nedturen startet!
- Hayden Foxe i West Ham-sammenheng 2001. Pisset over alt i den eksklusive Sugar Reef Bar.
- Judas Ferdinand i Scum Utd - to ganger i 2004.
- Fowler slokner på vei hjem fra fest i 2001. Legger seg til å sove i passasjersetet, blir fotografering og går amok.

HULSE følger med!

"The Leeds squad is good. It's certainly capable of a lot better. I've been waiting for them to snap out of it and go on a run. But it never seems to happen. Something is obviously not right there at the moment."

MARK PÃ... VEI TILBAKE!

Det var mange som ventet seg store ting av unggutten Mark Jackson. Men han slo aldri til i moder- og hjembyklubben Leeds. 19 matcher ble det for forsvarsspilleren.

Etter utlån i Hudderfield og Barnsley etablerte han seg som en solid spiller i Scunthorpe (kaptein i to år!) og Kidderminster. I februar i år gikk han til Rochdale (Â£35.000 for han og Iyseden Christie) fra nonleague-klubben Kidderminster. Han ble skadet i debuten. Etter en lang skadeperiode er han nå på vei tilbake.

Spilte ikke lillejulaften (foot problem), men har vært innpå sju kamper i høst etter friskmeldingen.

Lykke til!

Dennis · December 26, 2006, 00:00:47

Husker perioden vi hadde spillere som Mark Ford, Jamie Forrester, Brian Deane, Carlton Palmer, Mark Tinkler osv på laget.

Husker en cupkamp, jeg tror vi vant 4-2 mot Derby og vi spilte med de grønn\blåstripete bortedraktene. Tror det var 95\96. En av de første kampene jeg husker jeg så på tv. Har sett kamper tidligere, men det er altså en av de første jeg husker. Ikke helt sikker på årstall og resultat. Laget var på samme tid spennende med unggutter og nitrist. Var vel rundt denne tiden vi scora minst i ligasystemet, uten å google noe, for nå skal jeg stenge jobben og dra på fæst!

God jul, folkens!

Morsomt klipp (frem fra glemselen....!?):

The Worse Players of All Time

The June 1999 edition of the excellent football magazine Four Four Two had a feature in which fans of each English league and Scottish premier side nominated the worse player of all time to represent their team. Of these 102 teams, 10 selected players with a Norwich City connection suggesting that those to pass through Carrow Road on their careers are not always succesful. Here then is a complete listing of the worse players of all time and for those with a Canary connection, description of why they were chosen.This material is copyright Four Four Two magazine and it's inclusion is not meant to offend or deny 442 of any revenue.

The Worse Players of All Time
ENGLAND

ARSENAL - Gus Ceasar
ASTON VILLA - Tommy Craig
BARNET - Danny Mills (no not that one !)
BARNSLEY - Dave Regis
BIRMINGHAM CITY - Richie Moran
BLACKBURN ROVERS - Reg Blore
BLACKPOOL - Ted McDougall
"Quite a lot of players tend to come to Blackpool at the end of their careers looking at it as a retirement home at the seaside or something along those lines. Ted MCDougall has to be the worse of the lot. We used to think that he had put the boots on the wrong foot or something" (Mark Hilary)
BOLTON - Steve Elliott
BOURNEMOUTH - Wayne Fereday
BRADFORD - David Campbell
BRENTFORD - Murray Jones
BRIGHTON - Damian Hilton
"It's probably the guy we got on loan last season, Damian Hilton. He was just plain and simply crap. Since the club has been in bit of a mess lately we've actually had our worse players over the last few seasons. Right now our keeper Mark Walton is right up there with the worse of them. He has got to be the worse keeper I have ever seen, some of his mistakes have been outright comical. He's also a fat bastard!" (Phil Blackman)
BRISTOL CITY - Ricky Chandler
BRISTOL ROVERS - Andy Spring
BURNLEY - Nick Pickering
BURY - Nigel Smith
CAMBRIDGE UNITED - Neil Horwood
CARDIFF CITY - Steve Lynex
CARLISLE - Gary Watson
CHARLTON - Andy Jones
CHELSEA - Doug Rougvie
CHESTER - Neil Fisher
CHESTERFIELD - Alan Boxall
COLCHESTER - Les Taylor
CREWE - Dennis Murray
COVENTRY - Les Sealey
CRYSTAL PALACE - Valerien Ismael
DARLINGTON - Lee Brydon
DERBY - Roy Greenwood
EVERTON - Mike Milligan
"That would have to be Mike Milligan. He arrived from Oldham with the reputation of being a real battler but when he got here he was just a complete waste of space. He'd got Norman Whiteside sent off whilst still at Oldham but while we were willign to forgive and forget, he didn't seem to be bothered trying. After just a season he was sold back to Oldham and that for a real cut-price fee so we lost money on him as well" (Barry Spencer, Everton London Supporter's Association)
EXETER - Robbie Turner
FULHAM - Mark Cooper
GILLINGHAM - Brendan Place
GRIMSBY - Brian Laws
HALIFAX - Andy Stafford
HARTLEPOOL - Mike Fagan
HUDDERSFIELD - Gordon Tucker
HULL - David Bamber

LEEDS - Frank Strandli

IPSWICH - Graham Harbey
LEICESTER - Mark Robins
"You'd do well to beat Mark Robins (in worse player of all time). He was rubbish when he arrived and he was rubbish when he left. There really isn't much else to say about him. He was really really crap and that's all the people of Leicester can remember about him"(Kevin Wells)
LEYTON ORIENT - Rudi Hedman
LINCOLN - Joe Bonson
LIVERPOOL - Paul Stewart
LUTON - Steve Elliott
MACCLESFIELD - Richard Landon
MAN CITY - Mike Walsh
"The worse that I can remember was Mike Walsh, a central defender who played for us about 13 or 14 years ago. He was absolutely rubbish. We signed him from Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the US - that should have been enough to make us suspicious. Still we never dreamt that he could have been so influenced by America - his tackling was definately inspired by the US version of football"(Paul Howarth)
MAN UTD - Alan Foggon
MANSFIELD - Joe Laidlaw
MIDDLESBROUGH - Peter Davenport
MILLWALL - Lee Luscombe
NEWCASTLE - Wayne Fereday
NORTHAMPTON - Chris O'Donnell
NORWICH - Dean Coney
A stiker managing to score just one goal for your club isn't exactly doing the best of jobs, is he? Especially as that goal accidentally came off his knee. Eventually he took off for non-league Farnborough..a level more suited to his skills. To be fair, Coney actually wasn't as bad as David Fairclough but as Fairclough figured in just two games for the club you'll have to hope that he was better than he seemed to be from those two showings"(Andi Ansall)
NOTTS FOREST - Justin Fashanu
Justin Fashanu arrived as the first black player to be tranferred for more than Â£1million and of course after scoring the BBC Goal of the Season against Liverpool, expectations were high. He just failed to deliver. He was really poor - missing open goals and so forth - and in the end I think he was actually sacked by the club"(Adam Chantrey)
NOTTS COUNTY - Bob Caitlin
OLDHAM - Neil Moore
Neil Moore, a centre half, was so awful that he ended up at Rotherham (not exactly true - Steve)... He was so bad the fans didn't know which team he was playing for. He couldn't head the ball in the right direction and his passes never went to an Oldham player"(David Ogden)
OXFORD - Nick Cusack
PETERBOROUGH - Derek Payne
PLYMOUTH - Nicky Hammond
PORTSMOUTH - Scott McGarvey
PORT VALE - Rogier Koordes
PRESTON - Tony Lormor
.. Tony Lormor, supposedly a targetman, who's the only guy I've ever come across who loses height when he jumps.."(Pete Sanderson)

QPR - Vinnie Jones

READING - Simon Sheppard
ROCHDALE - Matt Dickins
ROTHERHAM - Gijsbert Bos
SCARBOROUGH - Ian Blackstone
SCUNTHORPE - Kerry Dixon
SHEF UTD - Mark Beard
SHEF WED - Colin West
SHREWSBURY - Darren Simkin
SOUTHAMPTON - Lew Chatterley
SOUTHEND - Phil Gridelet
STOCKPORT - Brian Lloyd
STOKE - Paul Stewart
SUNDERLAND - Steve Hetzke
SWANSEA - Stewart Phillips
SWINDON - Roy Greenwood
TORQUAY - Scott Stamps
TOTTENHAM - John Lacy
TRANMERE - Graham Brach
WALSALL - Dale Banton
WATFORD - Kerry Dixon
WEST BROM - Paul Williams

WEST HAM - Lee Chapman

WIGAN - Andy Saville
WIMBLEDON - Dave Swindlehurst
WOLVES - Rob Hindmarch
WREXHAM - Ollie Kearns
WYCOMBE - Mark Foran
YORK - Wayne Osborne

SCOTLAND

ABERDEEN - John Inglis
CELTIC - Wayne Biggins
"..as we entered the 1990s things went belly up. As the club neared bankruptcy, McNeill, Brady and Macari combined to bring an almost endless stream of diddy after numpty, numpty after diddy through the Parkhead gates. Tony Cascarino, Martin Hayes and Ian Andrews are just three that spring to mind. Still the unfortunately named Wayne Biggins has to take the mouldy biscuit. I mean good footballers just don't have names like that and he certainly wasn't a good footballer"(Joe Gillan)
DUNDEE - Peter Millar
DUNDEE UTD - Sergio
DUNFERMLINE - Criag Robertson
HEARTS - Hans Eskilsson
KILMARNOCK - John McEachran
MOTHERWELL - Alan Sneddon

Det ser ut til å ha sneket seg inn en liten feil. Neil Mc Nab var da ikke bare en dag på Elland Road: Jeg husker han godt fra sesongen etter nedrykket i 82. Han var på utlån i en drøy mnd i des-januar 83, og gjorde en meget god figur sentralt på midten. Daværende manager Eddie Gray ønsket å beholde han, men fikk ikke småpengene klubben trengte (75 000 Â£ eller deromkring) for å signe han. 25 årige Mc Nab dro noen få mnd senere til Man City og fikk en lang og god karriere der istedet. Synd, for Mc Nab kunne vært en spillertype til å lede Eddies young Guns til mer stabilitet i den kritiske perioden på midten av 80 tallet. [

Blanda han sammen med Asa "Hole-in-the-heart" Hartford.

Glimrende tråd dette. Asa Hartford fikk ingen matcher for Leeds da det ikke ble noen overgang grunnet det berømte hjertet. McNab fikk helt korrekt kun en kamp. Leeds var på den tiden på FA sin svarteliste grunnet manglende betaling av utestående overgangssum for Peter Barnes til WBA.

Har du drukket for mye juleøl, hvitstein? [8D]

Neil Mc Nab spilte 5 ligakamper og en Fa cupkamp for oss i perioden 18.12.82 - 24.01.83. [

En annen ting, Kjelvi: Aldri i verden om vingen Peter barnes scorte så mye som 19 goals på 49 kamper for oss. Da ville han vært en "hit", og ikke historiens verste bomkjøp !!![

Jon R.

Nei, det er korrekt, Jon R. Peter Barnes spilte totalt 64 kamper og scoret 6 mål for Leeds. Ingen 'hit' i det hele tatt, og beskrivelsen av Barnes lenger oppe i tråden kan nok trolig stemme med det selvbildet han hadde på den tiden.

Og - med fare for å havne i flise-spikker-tråden - jeg mener bestemt at Brighton forlangte Â£ 65.000 for Neil McNab, men at Leeds ikke hadde økonomi til dette. Tidene forandrer seg noe, men enkelte ting vil for alltid være de samme...

Meget interessant tråd forresten, som vekker minner - både gode og ikke fullt så gode!

I følge "Leeds United- a complete record" var det 65 000 Â£ Brighton forlangte ja, småpenger selv den gangen. Dermed gikk Mc Nab tilbake til Brighton. Jeg husker det veldig godt, fordi Mc Nab gjennomgående fikk skryt i engelsk media i de kampene han spilte. Jeg håpet veldig vi skulle signe han den gangen, men nei.... [V]

Forøvrig er det meste den Peter Barnes statistikken din, helt på jordet, Kjelvi. Trolig er den skrevet av Barnes selv. [:I]

Veteranen har forlatt oss for en periode, ihvertfall når det kommer til skrivingen. Dette med Bates & Wise ble rett og slett for for mye for han, så han måtte ta en stående telling til ti. Jeg savner han og håper vi har han tilbake raskere enn noen klarer å si "League One". [V]

Veteranen gikk vel i selvpålagt OEF-sølibat like etter at Wise fikk jobben. Dette for å hindre oss andre i å bli like negative som han var til den ansettelsen. Akk og ve så rett han har fått foreløpig!!!

Asbjørn: Du kan komme tilbake nå. Også vi andre naive OEF-deltakere har funnet ut at dette går rett til h******.

Du har rett - det meste av Barnes-stattoen er feil.
Du har også rett - skrevet av Barnes sjøl: http://www.peterbarnes.net/profile.htm

PORNO

Tips for de som - i likhet med meg og mange andre - er litt oppheng i fordums storhetstid er boka: "Where are they Now - Life after Leeds United" fra yfppublishing.com:

Ikke bare nyttig, men vannvittig underholdene. M.a.o. godt skrevet.

Flere nordmenn/dansker nevnt i boka som bidragsytere/sponsorer - bl.a. Frank Aagaard, Steen Hansen, Hallgeir Hellan, Ola Nylend og undertegnede.

Kjenner litt John Wray, som er en av gutta bak boka.

Har du den ikke - klikk og kjøp!
Anbefales på det varmeste!

SMAKEBIT

En smakebit fra 'Where are they now'.

Peter Barnes

Age: 48.
Apperance: Hairdresser.
Games: 64 (6 goals).
Era: 1981-82 & 1983-84.
Weakness: Defending.
Tactics: He dribbled past as many players as he could, ran to the dead ball line and crossed for someone to nod in.
Leeds highlight (personally): Signing for Â£930k. Kerrching!
If that wasn't enough: He also got a wedge out of putting his name to those elastic training balls in the 1980s.
Low point: Relegation in 1982.
Other clubs: Man. City, WBA, Real Betis, Coventry, Man. United, Hull, Bolton, Port Vale, Farense, Sunderland, Melbourne City and Tampa.
Amazing fact: He was one of the few Leeds flops what never went to play for Bradford City.
Retired: 1992. He then managed Runcorn briefly but could not operate with the thriftiness of lower league football. He dabbled in insurance (Peter cannot remember their name) and then got the media bug with slots on Manchester local radio.
And on to greener pastures: In 2000 Peter joined Recomac Ltd. They have a division called Kick Off Ltd and he is a Sales Director selling 3rd generation artificial turf. It's mainly used for indoor 5-a-sideand outdoor hockey pitches.
Who is his customers: The Sports Council and people like us who want better facilities to play sport on. He loves it.
What about the media stuff: He has a regular colum for Manchester online (generally telling Stuart Pearce he need to pick 11 wingers each week), and predictably he does match day corporate entertainment with Manchester City.
Hobbies: Golf, keeping fit, likes a bit of soul music. He also runs the Man City veterans 5-a-side team.
Does he have any of the money left from his signing on at Leeds: It went towards buying a new house which he sold when he left the club for the second time.
