Ventspils ... pardon me

A cure for the common cold? A french defender eliminating drink? I wish. Its our UEFA cup opposition from Latvia. FK Ventspils currently lie top of the Latvian Premier League and are the only team in the league that are unbeaten since the season started in April.

News today that Damien Duff will start against PSV tomorrow. In other news, Ameobi and Luque are both fit to play, news which would be insignificant in an ideal world. Babayaro joins Owen and Dyer on the treatment table, but in less serious circumstances.

We've been linked with Marlon Harewood, Dean Ashton and Wayne Bridge today, wouldn't complain at all. Amady Faye seems set to move to Charlton according to some sources, while disturbingly Juventus want Boumsong in exchange for one of their defenders, just a rumour, but whoever this other defender is, YES PLEASE.

I'm annoyed that Canaries World subscribers get to watch the delights of N'Zogbia's testimonial effort but I don't. I am still yet to see the goal. Speaking of young Charles and over-expensive video subscriptions, I saw an interview with him today. He speaks perfect English contrary to reports last season, that he only knew the word s**t. Maybe he drove through S*nderland and found that he was locked in a constant spasm of truth for a couple of weeks while he recovered from his terrible expedition.

Looking forward to PSV tomorrow.
