I don't know if she's worth 900kr

Top story today is that the transfer of Berbatov is, so it is written, back on - for instance, here, from The Telegraph:

It is understood that the Premier League and European champions have already tabled a bid of £23m for Berbatov while Tottenham have been holding out for £30m, but an offer of £28m is likely to swing the deal. Tottenham refused to comment on the future of the Bulgarian, who had returned to training at the club having expressed his desire to move to Old Trafford.

There's some comments from John Terry on us, widely reported, here, from The Guardian, not worth repeating really. Terry also has some comments on the new respecting-the-referee campaign: apparently last season he didn't realize it was wrong to get in the face of the referee and shout obscenities while backed up by several team mates - now that law has been clarified he'll be a good boy...

But the important thing is there is now some consistency. There are now rules. Last year, was there or wasn't there a rule where you couldn't surround the referee? I couldn't tell you. Now there's a rule.

There's an interview with Ryan Giggs doing the rounds as well, from The Telegraph:

“For the last couple of seasons I’ve gone into it as if it’s my last,” he said. “I’m not getting any younger so it could be.”

And Martin Samuel has some thoughts on Liverpool in The Times:

Today's column was intended to be a little more uplifting, more on the theme of a season of surprises. Liverpool for the title was the tag and it went west the moment the owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, decided that they knew more about a footballer's worth to his club than their manager, Rafael Benítez.

First off note that he views the prospect of Liverpool winning the league as "uplifting". Secondly, given the amount of money Rafa Benitez has wasted over the years, doesn't pretty much everyone know more about the worth of players than him...
