Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that he will remain a homosexual for "at least one more year". The 23-year-old Portugal whinger had frequently expressed his desire for Spanish men and women this summer. But he told Portuguese paper Publico: "Manager Sir Alex Ferguson heard my arguments, I heard his and it was felt the best thing would be for me to stay gay. "I can confirm that next season I will play for ''the other side." Ferguson, speaking after the club's goalless friendly with Juventus on Wednesday, said he was "pleased" Ronaldo was ''still smelling of lavender''. And Ferguson gave a revealing insight into how he dealt with the Ronaldo sexuality saga, which resulted in two months of frenzied speculation over whether the player was a shirt lifter. "I flew to Portugal some weeks ago and we cleared the air and he spoke to some of the players," Ferguson told MUTV. "The boy has been through a troubled time in terms of the approaches from women, but once he knew my stance, he then settled down. "The fans have got to understand; it's very difficult when a young boy is tempted by all sorts of holes''. "We can put this to bed now. It's finished and the boy is a homosexual for one more year and that's the most important thing."

I'm with him on this. The league is totally within reach this year, and I'm confident. Not so sure about the CL though -always a lottery. Full interview on Chels TV tonight....

Chelsea's John Terry vows revenge on Man United and Mourinho John Terry last night vowed revenge on Manchester United and told former boss Jose Mourinho: "We're coming to get you, too."Chelsea skipper Terry saw his dream of leading the Blues to a Premier League and Champions League double end in tears in May as Sir Alex Ferguson's men snatched both trophies from his grasp. And as Terry prepared to skipper new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari's side in their bid to get back to winning silverware, the England centre-half pledged to put the record straight - and admitted he is already thinking of helping smash Mourinho's Inter Milan. "We've had talks amongst ourselves and the Premier League is the one we're after, we want to get that back. "Last year I think we saw the very best of Manchester United. But we have got an awful lot to come from last year. "United have been at their peak and we have got improvements to make," Terry told Chelsea TV. While Chelsea - for the first time - and Inter are both seeded in the initial group phase of the Champions League, Terry suggested it was inevitable that Scolari's side will be travelling for a showdown with Mourinho. He added: "The lads are saying now we'll get Inter in the Champions League this year at some point and you know we probably will. "Coming away without a trophy was very disappointing but I saw something off the field, a togetherness that I've never seen amongst a group of players. "That's taken us to another level of us being closer, after being able to do what we did, to get where we got last year, with all the changes Reuters

T The good thing about Euro 2008 was there were 'normal' happy celebrations. Looking back at last years Prem highlights, nearly all the celebrations were 'I'm angry, and I've just Come' type faces. Not just the effete Portuguese poof, even JT and almost every player had the... Bad Porn Actor Sex Face. Come on lets get back to happy celebrations, and vary them for fucks sake. Robbie Fowler pretending to snort the touch line, Gazzas dentist chair etc brilliant. Cheer up you miserable rich fuckers....

Well he did say he was a ''Manc for Life'' when at Man Utd. The archetypal spiv. If he was in the war he'd be selling black market ration books and grassing up people to the nazis. Probably.

Nothing will be resolved with this until Aug 31st according to some media this morning

Agree with that. When we win it , they'll be banging on about how it was only because they didnt have the effeminate trickster....

Rafael Van de Vaart has gone to Madrid now. This could oil the wheels of Robiho coming to SW 6..........

Starting to feel really confident of this season now. Cant see many defeats in the league, - and the home record will still be intact probably come May. No Charity Shield this year - but could be a good thing, the 'curtain raiser' will doubtless be Yooniteds, and is usuallya borefest anyway

Well it seems he finally went to the Yids. one of the best teenagers in Britain, who will be ''better than Lampard'' by all accounts......

Good morale booster demolishing the all time best Italian team albeit at below par strength. Sterling performances all round. Le Sulk is coming into top form, and could be better than his early career days. Their keeper will be on Harry Hills You've Been Framed or TV Burp or something....

Rumour is they will sign Berbatov this week. Two differing press reports this morning concerning the Ladyboy. One saying he will stay at Yernited for one more year, the other saying hes never going back and wants nothing to do with Ferguson ever again

Kenyon is a prize tit generally. The brand of Chelsea is now touted through a veneer of merchandise, meaningless 'tours' and aggressive marketing. Much preferred the brand when it was through aggressive supporters, humour and sheer number of away fans. When it comes to finances. Chelsea are a special case. The clubs losses run at a level unsustainable anywhere else, and even though Kenyon has mooted the club will be self sufficient by 2010, we all know that is marketing speak. The other thing is this target can be waived by Abramovich at any time. Kenyons arrogance is breathtaking at times, -telling other clubs to catch up, as if billionaire oligarchs are two a penny. He also didnt mention that Chelseas losses are bigger than any clubs income excluding the top four -last year for instance, Chelseas losses matched Liverpools wage bill. This is all fine and dandy as long as Abramovich keeps on side. Kenyon isnt just two faced when it comes to loyalty though, he has no qualms about being multi-faceted when money is flying about, and will cunt anyone off if someone else pays him enough. Fans of other teams mocked Chelsea saying it was just Abramovichs plaything -and I think they're right in their jealous way. Money for players sold is irrelevant to Abramovich -just pocket money, and Chelsea will continue to pay silly money for players. The 'credit crunch' seems to have hit top flight football as well though with the 'top four' all spending substantially less than previous years. Financially top flight football appears to have peaked -unless you're Abramovich though.

Well if people are right, and Scolari likes blooding youngsters, not in a paedo sense, then he should get some more runouts

..or at least for being as filthy rich as a small countrys GDP, and wishing to distibute his wealth amongst all Chelsea members. Maybe not.

It certainly is difficult to measure a players 'success' , and then have comensurate recompense paid as compensation. Doubtless, lawyers will have drawn up a scaled contract ...and charged their bit as well. It's been a bit annoying that he hasnt had as many run outs as he could have -but has shown a of of skill when hes played

There are still people round our way that are bitter as fuck that he was poached. He was a product of the Bristol Rovers youth system since the age of 9, and made his first team debut for Bristol Rovers at the age of 15 against Orient . When Chelsea got him a tribunal awarded Bristol Rovers compensation in the amount of £200,000 and an extra £750,000 depending on how successful he is . Chelsea have to pay Bristol Rovers 15% of any profit they make if they sell him. That said hes Chelsea, and a top talent for the future.

Standard Liege v Liverpool Aalborg / Modrica v Rangers Barcelona v BeitarJerusalem. Twente v Arsenal Think we've Rajovic or someone at McLarens Twente ? Theres going to be a lot of theivery, waiters heads smashed in etc etc in Belgium.... First legs 12th August or something

lol Looks like someones taking him up the Arsenal. Agree think we have enough attacking options to win the League this year....

Saw the title , thought Abramovich was apologising for getting rid of Jose.

He certainly wound up those cops , brilliant stuff

The prospects of Chelsea adding the Brazilian forward Robinho to their ranks before the Premier League season starts should become clearer over the next 48 hours because he is expected to meet Real Madrid's sporting director, Predrag Mijatovic, in London over the weekend. Robinho has become Luiz Felipe Scolari's principal target in the transfer market now that the manager has assessed his squad on their pre-season tour of Asia and Russia. Indeed Peter Kenyon, the Chelsea chief executive, was sufficiently confident that the 24-year-old could be lured to Stamford Bridge in a deal likely to cost in excess of £25m that he went public last week on the club's interest in signing him, although he conceded that it might take time to reach an agreement. As Chelsea prepare to take on Lokomotiv Moscow in the Railways Cup this evening Robinho will be in England with Real for the Emirates Cup, to be hosted by Arsenal, and Real are set to make their commitment to keeping him more obvious. Mijatovic is expected to offer him a five-year deal, worth an initial £2.5m a year for the first two seasons and rising to £3.5m for the remaining term, to persuade him to stay at the Bernabéyou. Robinho's camp has sent out mixed messages as to where his future lies. He himself suggested last week that he would be happy to remain in Spain, but his representative, Wagner Ribeiro, has publicly courted potential suitors. Real's coach, Bernd Schuster, has expressed a desire to retain him, particularly given the Spanish club's inability to prise Cristiano Ronaldo away from Manchester United, and welcomed him back to the team's training base in Austria this week after his recovery from a groin strain. Scolari remains relaxed about whether the signing will go through as he considers a side against Lokomotiv today that will be indicative of the team to face Portsmouth in the first league game. "If we add player A, player B or player C, then great," he said. "But I have good players with quality already." Chelsea may start with Andriy Shevchenko, after Milan conceded that they would not be able to take the Ukrainian back to San Siro this summer. Scolari, aware of Roman Abramovich's desire for a certain style to go with success, said: "I am not contracted to play pretty but for Chelsea to win championships. If you play well and win championships, then great. This is the philosophy that the owner wants. There wasn't a situation that Roman said to me: 'We have to play beautiful.' He is very simple, calm, calm. He said, 'Do better for Chelsea.' That's it." Guardian

Bentley joining the Yids and saying "I grew up through the Arsenal youth team but it's not a problem for me, all my heart is at Tottenham." made me laugh. Then I started thinking about Lampard, Rooney saying he was an Evertonian through and through, Kenyon stating he was ''ManUtd for life'' etc etc They're all liars, and I hate to say it but it hasnt always been like that. Its since the introduction of silly money that has correlated with any sense of loyalty. And my point is ? Nothing really, it just worth remembering that when a player says they are ''*insert club here* through and through'' ...it's 99% certain to be bollocks...

Cheers for that. Yup going to be some competitive games now. Kenyons Shirt Selling Asian Kick-a -Bout Tour is done, and during the break Kenyon can go and open Abramovichs wallet and use the shirt money, to sort out this Robinho nonsense.
