* City's fans will be disappointed to heat that troubled Sol Campbell has turned them down to move to Portsmouth.

* It seems Wenger is hegding his bets now that Reyes is probably on his way.

Wenger:

"I have not made a bid for Frank Ribery - I categorically deny that. I have not made a bid for anybody. Will I? Frankly, I do not know. It depends if somebody goes or not - but even if somebody goes, it is not sure I will make a bid for anybody We have left an impressive list of players behind tonight. To add players to the team to just be spectacular, I am not going to do."


* A competition on Granada Reports last night:

When did Liverpool last win the Premiership?

Options were:

The answer:

Never.
