June 1

Guess like it's the start of a new month. Happy June :D

Chelsea News: Hank Ten Cate himself has been axed.
I have no idea what would happen to Chelsea now. I mean, Jose Mourinho has been involved in a lot of situations in the club. Talk about ownership. But for me, it has to be the manager and board to decide what happens next. Look at the Glazers and Manchester United. I don't see Sir Alex fretting after every loss.
But when Chelsea draws Rosenborg, it's bye bye manager. When they lose a final, it's the same thing.
Kenyon, do something about this and talk to Abramovich.
Give them until Monday, when they're set to name the new manager.

Manchester City, meanwhile, is expected to find a new manager, with rumors concerning Sven-Goran Erikkson's sacking flying into the mainstream.
And I have a major feeling the next manager is gonna be Thai. Just look at the board, after Shinawatra bought the club.

Khalid Boulahrouz makes it into the Netherlands squad. Poor Ryan Babel, getting injured at the last minute. And yes, i'm rooting for the Netherlands for the Euro 2008 cup.

Now on to those who didn't even qualify: England. Beckham gains the captaincy again, two years after retiring it and passing it on to John Terry. Speaking of the latter, it's cool how he scores a bullet header for England, while failing to do so for Chelsea in a few months.
*blames US and their poor defending*

Now, yet again, AC Milan are increasing the average age of their players. Gianluca Zambrotta signed for the outfit, at 31 years of age, from Barcelona. No fees were disclosed, but yeah. AC definitely have to up their defense for next year (and the UEFA Cup).

With the Beijing Olympics looming, it's not surprising to see a lot of players asking their clubs for releases to play in these games. With the likes of Javier Mascherano and Lionel Messi risking club football, it's easy to see that they'd love to see their country rise to glory. Funny how both are also in the Argentinian team.

All in all, it seems to be a pretty decent week. More of player signings and managerial changes, in fact. Expect the coming days to be a bit more exciting
