Chelsea dan spurs siaga deco
Chelsea dan Tottenham Hotspurs bersiaga setelah gelandang Barcelona, Deco, 30 tahun, mengumumkan ingin pindah musim depan.
Pemain Portugal kelahiran Brazil tersebut menyatakan, "Bermain untuk Barca (julukan Barcelona) adalah mimpi yang telah terwujudkan. Hanya Ada satu klub yang lebih besar, yaitu Real Madrid, dan Barca pasti tak akan melepas Saya kesana."

Ferguson bantah avram
Sir Alex Ferguson membantah penyataan manager Chelsea, Avram Grant, bahwa wasit liga primer, membela Manchester United.
Grant melihat beberapa "kebetulan" yang terjadi, seperti saat wasit Mike Dean yang memberi kartu merah pada Jon Obi Mikel di menit ke-32, saat Chelsea ditundukkan United September lalu.
Kemudian, dengan keputusan yang diambil wasit Steve Bennet, saat United mengalahkan Wigan 2-0, yang membuat Chelsea kalah dalam perburuan mahkota juara.
Namun Ferguson menanggapi," Saya pikir ini bukanlah tentang Sabtu kemarin (United melawan Wigan), melainkan tentang Rabu besok (final Liga Champions)."
"Saya bisa saja mempermasalahkan setiap keputusan, sebab selalu dapat diperdebatkan. Kami merasa tidak mendapat keputusan yang bagus musim ini."
United pun kalah 1-2 saat dijamu Chelsea April lalu, namun karena menang di kandang Wigan dan Chelsea imbang di Bolton, gelar pun terbang menuju kota Manchester.

manchester united juara berkat wasit
Bos Chelsea, Avram Grant, menyatakan wasit Steve Bennett membantu Manchester United memenangi liga primer.
Bennet menjadi pengadil pada pertandingan Manchester United melawan Wigan yang berkesudahan dengan angka 2-0, namun menurut Grant, "Di Inggris, ada wasit yang sangat baik kinerjanya, tapi bisa dipengaruhi."
Kesalahan Bennet menurut Grant: pertama, tidak memberikan penalti ketika Rio Ferdinand menyentuh bola dengan tangannya di kotak terlarang. Kedua, tidak memberikan kartu merah pada Paul Scholes atas pelanggaran keduanya terhadap Wilson Palacios.
Dan ketika ditanya apakah senang wasit asal Inggris tidak memimpin partai final liga champion, ia menjawab,"iya."

Messi better than Ronaldo - Cole
Chelsea's Joe Cole says Barcelona's Lionel Messi is ahead of Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo as the best player in the world.
Cole said Messi's form in Barca's Champions League semi-final defeat by United settled the debate.
"Ronaldo's been fantastic but in the semi-final Messi showed he's the top man," said Cole, who will face Ronaldo in next week's Champions League final.
"He is only 20 as well, imagine how good he will be in the next 10 years."
Messi has been linked with a £80m move to Chelsea, and Cole admitted he would be delighted if the speculation proved to be true.
"If we could sign him, I'd love to play alongside him," he added.
Cole's comments will help to crank up the atmosphere ahead of Wednesday's final between United and Chelsea in Moscow.
Ronaldo is the most highly rated player in the English game and has been bestowed with awards for his scintillating form this season.
The 23-year-old's 31 league goals were instrumental in United's Premier League title success, and he was named both the Football Writers' Association footballer of the year and PFA player of the year for two years in a row.
But the Portugal winger has been accused of sometimes failing to sparkle on the big stage and many believed he was outshone by Messi over both legs of the Champions League semis.
