A big cheers to you both for your sterling work as usual.

I'm encouraged by the positive talk from Avram with regards to Chelsea's overtures (if they are true).
And I hope Ba unleashes a world of hurt on Stoke today after Pulis' comments!
COYI!

In the mean time I am having difficulty deciding between BOTD 1, 2 or Brady.

THE TIMES: Samir Nasri has claimed that Arsenal are the favourites to win the Barclays Premier League and predicted that Manchester United will falter on the run-in for the title race. ALSO: Arsene Wenger described Kolo Toure as "shocked" and "devastated" after the Manchester City defender telephoned his former manager to ask for advice in the wake of his failed drugs test.

DAILY TELEGRAPH: FIFA's law-makers gather at Celtic Manor today to a backdrop of pleas from English referees beseeching them to change their rules. ALSO: Manchester City defender Kolo Toure is unlikely to avoid a severe penalty simply by arguing that his ingestion of a banned substance was inadvertent if, as Arsene Wenger claimed yesterday, his defence is that his failed drugs test was the result of taking his wife's slimming pills.

THE INDEPENDENT: Sir Alex Ferguson's indignation about the improper conduct charge levelled at him by the Football Association has led him to reject legal advice and prepare to appeal. ALSO: Manchester City are anxious that Kolo Toure does not seek publicly to declare his innocence of drugs offences which he has told his former manager Arsene Wenger have left him "devastated".

THE GUARDIAN: Kolo Toure made an emotional telephone call to his mentor Arsene Wenger on Thursday night to reveal his anguish at the error of judgment that led to him failing a drugs test and facing a lengthy suspension. ALSO: Sir Alex Ferguson has ignored the advice of Manchester United's legal team by pleading not guilty to his Football Association charge of improper conduct, risking a five-match touchline ban in the process.

DAILY EXPRESS: Gerard Houllier admitted yesterday that Aston Villa are not good enough to beat Manchester City - a confession the club's spin doctors immediately tried to have struck from the record. ALSO: The rift between Newcastle United and fans' favourite Kevin Keegan widened to a gulf last night after the club hit back following his criticism of the £35million departure of Andy Carroll.

DAILY MAIL: Kolo Toure last night confessed he has no-one to blame but himself over the failed drugs test that could see him thrown out of football for two years. ALSO: Fuming Sir Alex Ferguson has vowed to clear his name over his improper conduct charge, which he says may have been influenced by the furore over Wayne Rooney's use of an elbow at Wigan.

DAILY MIRROR: Devastated Kolo Toure rang his mentor Arsene Wenger to pour his heart out over the drugs bust which could ruin his career. ALSO: Ryan Giggs is relishing tomorrow's trip to Liverpool - he says there is no better feeling than winning at Anfield.

THE SUN: Alex Ferguson risks an even longer touchline ban after deciding to appeal against a charge of improper conduct. ALSO: Kolo Toure's father insists his God-worshipping son would never take performance-enhancing drugs.

DAILY STAR: Kolo Toure will claim he failed his drugs test because he took his wife's diet pills. ALSO: Samir Nasri yesterday claimed Arsenal were now favourites for the title.
