Barca bound ?

AC Milan and Barcelona are both hot on Adebayor’s heels, and it believed they would have to pay over ₤30million to snare their man.

Barca have taken the biggest strides so far, having sent officials to London recently to open negotiations.

It was originally thought the former Monaco man would prefer a move to San Siro to link up with ex-Gunner Mathieu Flamini, but he hinted that Camp Nou in fact holds the greater attraction.

“Milan are a big club but the fact they are not playing in the Champions League next season is less of a challenge,” Adebayor said.

“Barcelona have made a good financial offer. Yes, I am still under contract to Arsenal but it’s up to the directors to satisfy my demands. Otherwise, I’ll leave.

“You have to take advantage of the moment. Why not go to Barcelona if the manager there already has me in his plans? That means there is a big chance of seeing me there.”

Adebayor claims to rpelace Henry at the Gunner's camp

It was revealed earlier this week that Adebayor is demanding a whopping 400 per cent pay-rise, which would see his weekly wage increase from ₤30,000 to ₤120,000.

The Togolese striker has rejected the Gunners’ ₤60,000 compromise and appears to be edging ever close to an Emirates exit this summer, as the higher-ups are losing patience.

The 24-year-old believes he deserves to be paid as much as former team-mate Henry was, insisting it is a logical quandary as much as anything.

“People ask if I’m asking for the same salary as Henry,” he told News of the World. “That is not necessarily the question.

“But I am being considered a worthy replacement for Henry while not deserving his salary. The question lies on this level.

“Either Arsenal give me what I want and I stay or they don’t and I leave.”

The season of 2007-08 started off well for Arsenal with great victories and goals coming in.....Also during the October-November period of the season........Arsenal topped the ranking table......At the mid of January, the club lost a certain crucial away games at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford and not to mention the most shameful defeat at Anfield.......Arsene Wenger was already facing the trouble of a number of injured players benched for the rest of the season........The absence of Eduardo and Tomas Rosicky and Robin van Persie cost the Arsenal attack a big blow......... But still The Gunner's finished off the season in a respectable 3rd place.........

But at the open of the summer window Mathieu Flamini and Emmanuel Adebayor sparked off speculation by declaring their moves to Barcelona or AC Milan.......Hleb too was considering a move to Internazionale but it was eventually subdued by the EURO buzz.........Now that the European Championship reaches its climax, Arsenal seem to be in deeper troubles...........Samir Nasri hwo was to move to the Emirates this summer is still shaky about his move..............Emmanuel Adebayor has made it clear to Arsene Wenger that he will move to either Camp Nou or San Siro....... Too uphold his statement Togolese team-mate Clarence Seedorf has announced that he would be happy to have Adebayor alongside him this season.........With Flamini already moving to San Siro, Hleb too seems to be under fire........Are the Gunners trying to put up a Cristiano at North London............And the better being that CR7 declaring that he may stay at ManUtd still considering the fact that Alex Fergusson is giving him a wage hike of 200000 euros a week..........Whoa! Now thats an amount!

At the end it is necessary to say that Diens statement must not undermined and Arsenal must be sold to Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who can turn the clubs fate........but the problem is will he interfere with Wengers strategy like Abramovich did with Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, which eventually resulted in the latter leaving the club in a dismal state........

Also speculation is rife that Arsene Wenger has put a bid to land Liverpool's Peter Crouch and Roque Santos at The Emirates Stadium.......

Football........losing its beauty

Beethoven's Cunt..........another master piece by Serj Tankian

Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
Oceans are combined...

Being that I love you so much,
In the end they all will say,
Breaking someone else's heart again...

Find the little evil perpetrator,
And feed him to the hungry alligator,
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about profits,
Nor the riches in your dreams...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe in me...

I've been walking through these dead farms,
But I don't mind,
I've been screaming through these dead lungs,
But I can't find...

Being that I love you so much,
In the end they all will say,
Breaking someone else's heart again...

Find the little evil perpetrator,
And feed her to the hungry alligator,
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about profits,
Nor the riches in your dreams...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe, in me...

But lately I've been blind,
You leave me all alone, left in time,
You left me here to die, left in time,
Leave me all alone, left in time...

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe in nothing...

But lately I've been blind,
Leave me all alone, left in time.

Sky is Over............SERJ TANKIAN

Sky Is Over

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse,
Sky is over,

Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,

Behind closed eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land
And all of its creatures,
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,

Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun,
Don't you want me to run,

Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
The sky is over us.

ACCEPTED.........Reject Rejection

Accepted is a 2006 comedy film. The plot centers around two groups, one of which is a group of high school seniors, who after being rejected from all the colleges to which they had applied, proceed to "create" their own "college". The other group is composed of fraternity freshmen who attend a prestigious university nearby. The plot adversity is created through a dynamic in which the Dean of the nearby prestigious university attempts to use one of his students to assist him in this endeavor to acquire adjacent and abutting realty to expand its campus to create an adjacent park-like expanse, and the recalcitrant upstarts whose "college" (housed in an abandoned psychiatric hospital) begins to flourish and who refuse to facilitate the sale of their leasehold to the university. They call their college "South Harmon Institute of Technology" ("S.H.I.T.") and proceed to develop a facility; a curriculum; and, a faculty, and thereby ultimately are accorded provisional accreditation by the state board of education when this is satisfactorily demonstrated, and the day is saved.

Though presented as a light comedy, the film's undertone throughout is highly critical of the U.S. college system (and the college ranking system)

Rafa deserves a break too...............

Rafael Nadal has criticised tennis chiefs, saying the crowded European tennis calendar is being "destroyed".

The Spaniard is currently playing in Barcelona and takes on compatriot Feliciano Lopez on Thursday.

But having won the Monte Carlo Masters on Sunday, and with events in Rome and Hamburg to come over the next two weeks, Nadal says his form will suffer.

"These people are destroying Europe and Europe used to be the foundation of the tour," said Nadal.

"I think it's completely impossible to play at one's best level for all four tournaments - Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome and Hamburg.

"You just have to accept this situation, all the players will be the same, they will not be able to play at their high level for all four, I think it's totally impossible."

The ATP has made several changes to the calendar in 2008 to accommodate the Olympic Games in August.

The result is that the clay-court season has become especially congested ahead of this month's French Open.

Monte Carlo, Rome and Hamburg are all Masters Series events, which automatically count towards a player's ranking.

"I think that when a player loses in the first round or pulls out and they get criticised, the tournament should ring these people (the ATP) and tell them that it is their fault.

"I have some email conversations with these people but it is true that they end up doing what they like and I am getting tired of it all."

American James Blake added: "The Olympics is such a unique experience that we need to make arrangements for but the calendar is too packed and maybe we should take out the Davis Cup in Olympic years.

"You'll see how many matches (Nadal) plays this clay-court season, how many matches guys like (Roger) Federer, (Andy)Roddick, (Novak) Djokovic and myself play throughout the entire year.

"It's probably too much to expect a player to have a lengthy career. It makes it very difficult."
