David Bentley needs to update his website


Spurs winger has high hopes for Blackburn this season

Perhaps it was the moving house, perhaps it’s because he’s back in London and can hang out with all his mates again, or perhaps - just like Tottenham - he can’t really be bothered. Whatever it is he should probably change the homepage to his website.

Ronaldinho still thinks he plays for Barcelona


Like Voronin’s wardrobe, the tubby one’s website needs updating

Ronaldinho

Take a butchers at Ronaldinho’s official website, and you will be treated to the anachronistic beauty above. Ol’ Gaucho committed his future to AC Milan in mid-July, but obviously no one told the folks who control his web presence.

To be fair, the Olympic bronze medal winner hasn’t actually played a proper game for the Italians, but he has pulled a red and black shirt over his generous paunch on several occasions for the press. Either way, the sports brand with the swooshy logo who reportedly pressured the tricky midfielder to play in Beijing will be delighted that their logo still adorns his chest.

Marseille fans step up bid to land Didier Drogba


French fans desperate to bring their Drog back home

Didier Drogba to Marseilles

Last week, we told you how Marseille fans were clubbing together their pennies in an attempt to bring Didier Drogba back to the club. By Friday, they had managed to raise a paltry €5,000 (£4,000), but this website has really helped Les Marseillais dig deep over the weekend. At the time of writing, just under 20,000 fans from the south coast have raised €1,385,956 (£1,100,000), an average donation of around £50 per person, on the site whose slogan reads ‘All together, we can do it’.

This is a very impressive sum, but there are two problems: firstly, Drogba’s transfer fee is said to be around £24,000,000. Even if every one of Marseille’s regular 60,000 crowd gave £50, they would fall around £5,000,000 short.

Secondly, the Ivory Coast striker is eyeing up a move to one of the Italian big boys, and a move back to Marseille would be a rather large step backwards.

Arsenal think they’ve made the Champions League final


Presumptuous web geeks build page dedicated to Moscow game

Arsenal.com

[click image to enlarge]

While casually searching for an image of the Luzhniki Stadium, I was pointed in the direction of this page from the Arsenal website. It’s fair enough that the Gunners built a page in anticipation of reaching the Champions League final, but their decision to keep it live is a little odd. Because they’re not in the final. They were knocked out by Liverpool, you see.

Speaking of Liverpool and presumptuousness, check out their 2007 Champions League victory tour bus after the jump…
