When showboating goes wrong…

It was a lame transfer window for most clubs, but for Birmingham City in particular it was a colossal let down. When Carson Yeung took over the club last year, he signalled his intent by happily telling the media that there would be £40 million to spend on players in the January window.

There was a lot of talk in the papers this week about Youness Kaboul going back to Tottenham in a deal worth £10m, two years after they sold him to Portsmouth for £4m, though considering Harry Redknapp’s utter refusal to add to the transfer targets list he wrote up in 2007, this is far too likely to happen to be considered just a ‘rumour’.

While Harry’s quest to sell and re-sign the same five players over and over again until he retires is funny because it’s basically true, our favourite rumour of the week from the anonymous geniuses posting at football-rumours.co.uk is funny for the opposite reason.

Another week has flown by in what is now officially the most unpredictable season of the Premier League in a long, long time.

A World Cup draw, an ‘easy’ group for England, and the title race back on. Another entertaining week in the world of football...

Our favourite bits of another week.

As the dust settles and Spurs fans wake up to find out that they weren’t dreaming, we go through the best of one hell of a week of football.
