Monday Madness!

Bubble Football!
A Norwegian man invented a new game: Bubble Football It's exactly like football but players wear a ball filled with air on their body. In this game fouls dont exist because as soon as you fall over, you bounce straight back up! So no injuries.

Joey Barton can't stand arguing with his own player on Football Manager 2012: "Just had my first argument with myself on FM12" and "FYI @footballmanager I am not born in Runcorn. I am not 5'9 (5'11) and I am not 11st (12st). If ur gonna do it properly..."

Under performing Juventus striker, Amuari, was put on eBay buy an angry fan. The bid for him reached £8 million. The offer included: delivery in 4 working days and free shipping. This was until eBay removed it off their site.

Former Celtic player, Nakamura, gave bus travellers in Japan a shock when he curled a ball in through a window. Watch it here.

Chelsea sign three 12 year olds from Luton for £1m. No joke.

Match Report QPR 3-1 Wigan

Well this result was the probable result due to the appointment of Mark Hughes and this being his first home league game in charge but Wigan didn't do themselves proud at all. Early in the game QPR dominated and James McCarthy handles from a corner and the ref gave a penalty which Helguson put away. Shortly before half time it got worse for Wigan. Akos Buzsaky took a brilliant free kick into the top corner. 2-0 at HT Second half Sammon comes on for Wigan and does some good things and eventually Wigan score. A Hugo Rodallega free kick goes into the top corner and the game is on. But just 15 mins later Gary Caldwell gives away a penalty but al Habsi saves. However Tommy Smith's strike was unstoppable and made it 3-1 and that's how it finished.

Transfer Rumours

As quiet as this window has been it hasn't lacked a bit of excitement! Gary Cahil to chelsea is a done deal Wigan are intrested in Wolves winger Adam Hammil and apparently have had a bid accepted for leeds striker Ross McCormack. Chris Samba's transfer request has made Spurs interested and are preparing a bid for the player. Chelsea's striker crisis may see them make a 20m bid for Porto's Hulk. Also Stoke want DJ Cambell on loan for the rest of the season. Demba Cissé joins Newcastle for 10m. Liverpool sign Portuguese prospect João Carlos Teixeira for 1m.

Transfer Rumours

This window is the quietest window yet, all that money spent last year! Torres 50 m Carroll 35m Suarez 25 m The price of Carroll alone hasn't been spent so far this window! However deadline day is usually the main transfer day. So what rumours have I heard today? Well the big story is that Kenny Dalglish is willing to pay 10 million for Jermaine Defoe also PSG are after Carlos Tevez for 29 million. Liverpool are targeting a January move for 22-year-old Swansea City winger Scott Sinclair. Wigan's loan deal with spurs for Giovanni dos Santos may be off after no deal has been agreed yet. He was supposed to have joined early this week. Also Wigan are interested in Leeds striker Ross McCormack and Keith Andrews

Monday Madness!

On loan midfielder, Emmanuel Frimpong, delights Arsenal fans and nearly kills Rafael van der Vaart. Watch it here.

Paul Scholes, who just came out of retirement, urgently needed a pair of boots and decided to go to his local JJB Sports shop to buy a pair for £40.

Man City striker Balotelli randomly turned up at a local Manchester college and asked if he could use the toilet.

On a night when Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, made a return, another got hit by a football after a Leeds player aimed for his head. Watch it here.

5 a side game: Chaddy Park 16-4 Hopwood Old Boys. Paul Scholes scored 12 goals and 1 own goal. However, his cameo appeareance was against the rules, and if Hopwood appeal, the score will be reversed.

City's unpredictable striker, Balotelli, challenged a Man Utd fan, in a bowling arcade, to a duel (of sorts). A punchball machine contest. Not-so-super Mario lost.

Beckham and Balotelli's meeting
Wiping nose or kissing badge?
After meeting Mario Balotelli at the City/United game, David Beckham used a City shirt to blow his nose. Or was it to kiss the badge? Either way, it'll cause controversy in Manchester. Something his Manchester City friend, Balotelli is famous for!

What positions do teams need to invest in?

Arsenal :back up for RVP and left back Aston villa :centre midfield because jenes is injured Blackburn: centre back because it looks like sambas going Bolton : centre back cahils gone Chelsea :striker anelkeas gone drogbas on the way out and torres cant score for toffee Everton : despite a lack of money they need a striker! Fulham : actually doing ok now but a new pair of full backs Liverpool : another striker suarez has a long ban and carrol dosnt look intrested Man city : they need to sell loads of top class players get no football there Man united : centre midfield scholes just isnt the answer need a modric or sort Norwitch : centre midfield apart from that there doing well QPR : not a case of money because its all there i think they nerd another centr midfielder because faurlin is injured Stoke: wings Sunderland forwards bentner isnt top class Swansea mceachran should be enough to keep them up Spurs : another centre half samba deal looks likely West brom: creative midfielder Wolves: full backs is there weakness Wigan: a winger to provide for sammon and to create chances dos santos looks to be the man we need him because we havnt been creating to many chances of late and maybe another striker
