English teams are lame.
But which is the lamest, and why?

I vote Leeds: delusions of grandeur bought with money they didn't have resulting in them entering administration and being demoted to the third flight. I mean, if you're going to buy a title, you'd damn well better win one.

Right at this point.. United are definitely the lamest English team for me. I simply don't understand how they keep winning with their midfield. Bah.

What is beyond me is how Peter Ridsdale got another job in football.

It was outrageous, Zebra.

I was down at the game and I just couldn't believe some of the decisions.

It was that refs second ever SPL game and he was so good that he's refereeing a Division 3 game this weekend.

Aberdeen are going to end up getting fined for saying the ref was shite as well.

Chelsea transfer ban is suspended

Chelsea's transfer ban has been temporarily suspended by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) pending a final decision on the matter.

Fifa had ruled the club could not sign players until 2011 after inducing Gael Kakuta to break his Lens contract.

But Chelsea appealed to Cas, which said on Friday: "Such sanctions are now stayed until the Cas renders its final decision in this matter."

The decision means Chelsea could be able to sign players in January.

No date has been given for a final decision from Cas.

Fifa had banned the Premier League leaders in September from any activity during the next two transfer windows after they were found guilty of inducing Kakuta, now aged 18, to breach his contract with French club Lens in 2007.

Under the terms of the original Fifa punishment, French teenager Kakuta was ordered to pay compensation of 780,000 euros (£710,000), for which Chelsea were "jointly and severally liable".

Chelsea were also told to pay Lens "training compensation" of 130,000 euros (£118,000).
