It was not overly surprising that Chelsea starlet Michael Mancienne was called up by Fabio Capello this week despite his lack of first team football at Stamford Bridge. Capello has spoken about the lad in the past so it is obvious he likes the look of the player. I’ve heard a lot about this youngster, I know Mancienne is highly-rated at Chelsea and is regarded as a hot prospect but it’s far too early to see how his career will pan out.

Forest’s last win at Molineux came in the 1994 League Cup; a game in which Stuart Pearce scored twice. Their last league win though dates back to Boxing Day 1980.

Reports in the weekend’s press suggest Liverpool are chasing Tottenham’s talismanic Irishman Robbie Keane this summer. The 27-year-old striker has been at Spurs for close to 6 years and has proven himself to be a huge fans favourite. Whereas his strike partner Dimitar Berbatov has been linked away from the club for the past season, this speculation over Keane’s future is a new development and one you’d expect the club not to welcome. After all, of these two forwards I would wager the majority of Spurs fans would prefer to keep their club Vice-Captain rather than the sulky, whinging Bulgarian.

The Welsh side became the only side from outside England to ever win the prestigious trophy.
