18 Yard Box has a look at the news doing the rounds today
Hope the Christmas fever has come down a bit and we can now look forward to the new year. In terms of the Premier League though, nothing stops. Here are the top new making rounds as of today.
"Its about consistency and efficiency", says Brendan Rodgers. The Liverpool boss has indicated that playing for Liverpool demands consistency and a week in week out performance rather than a one off. This coming of the back of a defeat to Stoke after having won comfortably against Wigan. Liverpool play QPR this week and will be looking to get maximum points against the bottom placed team in the league.
Liverpool, who have looked increasingly sharp at some occasions, have been far too incosistent this season and will be looking to set that right before the chance of a top 4 finish slips from their hands.
Reports emanating from UK suggest that Spanish international Alvaro Negredo could well be on the way to Chelsea for a fee of 15 million euros.
Various sources suggest that the Sevilla forward could well be the back up to Torres and also team up with his Spanish compatriot when need be. With Daniel Sturridge on ther verge of making a move to Liverpool, Chelsea intend to use the money generated from his sale to ensure the services of the tall centre forward.
The West Bengal giants have been banned by the AIFF governing committee on the grounds of violation of section 22(c). Mc Dowell's Mohun Bagan left the field during the Kolkata Derby played earlier this month.
The crowd went berserk inside the Salt Lake Stadium, pelting stones, bricks and all sorts of things which injured the Bagan midfielder Rahim Nabi. The Bagan players thought the situation to be going out of control and left the pitch thereby forfeiting the match.
As reported by Goal.com, the I League committee which sat today, surprisingly found the reason invalid and have decided to take strict actions against the club. They have docked off their points and have asked the club to withdraw themselves from the I-League this season and have imposed a further 2 year ban which might see the I-League missing one of its most prestigious teams in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 season. Further decision regarding the fine and the extension of the ban will be taken by the committee who will sit next month to decide the club's ultimate fate.
