Inter Milan have cancelled their UK tour dur to the threat of terrorism. They were due to play Leicester, Crystal Palace, Portsmouth and Norwich this month. Sports Minister, Richard Caborn is in dialogue with them. Hope he's a little firmer than he was with the Glazers.

SAF has warned Ferdinand that he will be forced to stay and see out the remaining two years of his present contract should agreement not be reached on a new deal, say the News of the World.

Talksport's Spanish expert, I forget his name, says that Owen is wanting a move to Old Trafford and is poised for it as soon as Real complete their shirt-selling tour.

Fergie has said no to Wigan's request to take Louis Saha on loan. Apparently the Wigan psyhio wanted some practice. Fergie: "There is no chance of Louis Saha going. All these clubs are looking to take him on loan but that's absolutely ridiculous; they must think we are stupid. His career has been fragmented by injury but if he stays fit you can add another 15 goals to our tally."

Andy Cole celebrated (?) his debut for the Divs against Everton in Thailand with a typical Coel goal.
