I just got this e-mail and wonder if anyone else had heard about this:

And I quote:

"Allegedly, Steven Gerrard will be moving abroad in the summer because his wife's having an affair with a Derby County player and he's got a 16 year old pregnant, and she's keeping it. Apparently everyone in Liverpool has already accepted that he's going. He's in court at the moment trying to stop it all coming out so Capello doesn't kick him out of the world cup squad."

Quote:Manchester United have been valued as the biggest football club in the world by Forbes Magazine.

While the Red Devils held onto their title as the world’s most valued club, six other English sides were also named in the magazine’s top 20 most valuable club’s in world football.

United have topped the table for the last six years and were valued by Forbes at £1.19 billion after a 2% fall from last year.

Peter Schwartz, Business sports writer for Forbes hailed Manchester United’s resilience to remain as ‘one of the world’s biggest sporting brands’.

He said: "The club has really established itself as one of the top brands in world sport.

"New kit deals and great marketing has seen them maintain their status despite all the problems of the global recession."

Despite Newcastle United's relegation last season, the club earned 20th place, with Arsenal coming in third, ahead of Liverpool in sixth and Chelsea in ninth.

Champions League hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur were ranked 12th, while big-spending Manchester City were in 19th place.

A Forbes spokesman said: "The world's 20 most valuable clubs generated a combined £422million in operating income last season.

"The top five clubs took in 86% of the total because their worldwide following allows them to grab much more sponsorship and media revenue."

Hey guys aren't you excited to watch up coming game between Tottenham and Manchester United. Ok! guess how much will be the score. I am sure Man Utd will win but by how much can anyone guess? In my view the game will be in ended by 2-0. Rooney will give both goal to Manchester United.

Inter Milan 3-1 Barcelona
JOSE MOURINHO’S Inter Milan came from behind to leave Euro kings Barcelona on the ropes.

Defending champs Barca looked like they were in for an easy ride when Pedro’s strike capped a breezy opening spell.

But Mourinho’s men were having none of it and roared back with goals from maicon , Wesley Sneijder, Pedro and Diego Milito.

All eyes were on little wizard Leo Messi, but Inter shackled the Argie ace to grab the upper hand in this semi-final.

And Mourinho will be hoping for more of the same in the return leg at the Nou Camp next week.

Milner talk irks O'Neill
Villa boss insists in-form winger is staying in the Midlands

Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has admitted his irritation at rumours which have surfaced regarding Manchester City's purported interest in James Milner.

The in-form England winger, primarily employed in a more central position for Villa, is currently enjoying his most consistent season to date and a number of eye-catching displays have led to talk of a £24million summer switch to Eastlands.

City's neighbours Manchester United have also been mooted as strong suitors but O'Neill is adamant his player is going nowhere.

On the contrary, the Ulsterman insists he plans to open contract talks with him at the end of the season.

Commenting on the Milner rumours, O'Neill said: "It is irksome at this stage of the season.

"It doesn't do anyone any favours particularly because the player has had a fantastic time and is enjoying his football immensely here.

"He has had a really brilliant time, particularly since moving into the middle of midfield and I am delighted for him.

"James is still under contract with us and it's a case of dampening fires that weren't there in the first place.

"We want the best players to stay here at Aston Villa so we can keep the momentum going.

"But I have kind of accepted it now.

"If it is not James it will be Ashley Young and if it is not Ashley it might be Richard Dunne and then someone else the following week."
No contact

O'Neill also denied he knew of any contact from City about the prospect of Milner moving to Manchester in the summer.

"It has got ridiculous now and I can categorically say that I have not heard anything from Manchester City," he said.

"I spoke to my chief executive late yesterday evening and he never mentioned it so I assume they have not been in touch with him either.

"You almost get the impression that stories are put in there to kind of upset you at this stage of the season.

"It was interesting to hear Arsene Wenger talking about Barcelona and having to rebuff stories about someone who was under contract at Arsenal.

"They are having to get Barcelona to make statements about them not coming after a player."
