Well it looks as though Michael Owen is headed for Manchester United on a cut-price deal, which will please the Glazer clan who own the club no end.
Will manager Sir Alex Ferguson get the money to make a big money signing on top of this?
Mr Blatherskite suspects not.
But why didn’t Liverpool’s Rafa Benitez intervene?
Meanwhile local (well, Scottish hero) Andy Murray lost to Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon semis, so we still haven’t got a British men’s finalist.
Much to the chagrin of the BBC and her majesty’s media.
Murray, as a merited number three seed, should have seen off Roddick with ease.
But the pressure on Brits at Wimbledon is ridiculous.
Murray will win a Grand Slam or two but Wimbledon remains an absurd hurdle.
