At least I think he said he was gone until Wednesday anyway. And besides, I'm going to try and do a better job with the lower leagues today.

Liverpool Vs Chelsea is the big news tonight I suppose, not that I imagine many Football Thread regulars are looking foward to it. Terry has promised an attacking attitude tonight. We'll have to wait and see. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea win. Liverpool's past CL victories over them may be numerous but were hardly resounding or convincing.

In the Championship tonight, Wolves have to win against Cardiff to sustain any slim hopes of making the play-offs. Wolves striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has threatened to get naked if he scores.

In more Leeds Utd controversy, the club should today find out if Casper Ankergren will face a Football Association ban for a missile throwing incident last month. That club, eh? Always up to mischief.

The transfer rumour mill focuses mainly on Man City and Arsenal today, with the former apparently set to complete a club record £20 million swoop CSKA Moscow's highly rated striker Jo and countryman Ronaldinho and in the latter, Hleb apparently buying out his own contract to move to AC Milan whilst Emmanuel Adebayor could be on his way to the blue half of the same city.
