21 - Keane's future / MUTV joke / Rooney lauds Rossi
Tonight's entry thinks it saw somebody who used to be in The Bill in Sainsbury's today.
Open season has been declared on stories regarding Roy Keane's future, but this one has taken me slightly by surprise, I must say, as I would have thought Celtic would have been a nailed-on certainty of his next destination. Maybe he doesn't fancy the idea of lining up next to Paul Telfer, and let's face it, who does?
I'm not really that sure where he would go in Europe as I can't think of anywhere that would be a 'natural' destination for him. But I'm going to plump for PSV Eindhoven due to their links with United. But it isn't getting one of my prediction seals, ooh no. I guess Spain or Italy are the most likely destinations though.
I can well see him taking the Republic Of Ireland manager's job though, just not quite yet. Although any time he takes that position will make me feel all warm inside wondering what kind of face Mick McCarthy would have on him when the announcement is made. Mind you, Keano would have no excuse if training facilities weren't up to scratch.

This story has nothing of particular interest in it, except for the amusement caused by the first two-thirds of the first sentence:-
"Manchester United Television, one of the world's most innovative sports television channels...."
They're taking the piss, surely? It doesn't say much for all the other sports channels in the rest of the world when MUTV is put forward as a pioneer in innovation for television sports channels. I've seen more innovation on L!ve TV.

Wayne's right - the boy's a little genius. Not that you're likely to find out much beyond an occasional substitute appearance in the Carling Cup, of course. But Rossi's a fantastic talent and reminds me very much of Michael Owen in his play, which can't be bad, and therefore might paper over the cracks of United not bidding for Owen for some ridiculous reason.
It is good to hear players coming out and praising young 'unknowns' like Rossi and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake because it gets them better known and it exerts more pressure on the manager to pick them. You'll rarely hear managers talking about great talent coming through a youth system for the simple reason that they don't want pressure piled on themselves when people start asking questions about why such talent isn't being given a chance.
Similar words for David Jones, Paul McShane and Floribert N'galula would be most welcome. Yes, you read that right. Floribert. If his nickname's 'Flo' then that's just so wonderful.
I'm off to set up a petition to ban international football.
