The Carling Cup started last night and as usual the first round was filled with sock results. Leading the way was Yeovil`s 1-0 Win at Charlton. The London club have been the subject of several giant killing acts in recent years and last night was no exception with a Warne goal late into the first half being enough to see the league 1 side progress. Two penalties for Crewe were enough to see

It would appear that Dimitar Berbatov`s proposed move to Manchester United could at last become reality with the champions allegedly tabling a £28 million bid for the Bulgarian International. New boys Hull who are looking to strengthen their strike force and have been linked with former Birmingham striker Walter Pandiani who is at present with Spanish side Osasuna. However they could face

America`s Michael Phelps made it 3 gold medals from 3 events in his search to win 8 Gold and break Mark Spitz`s record of 7 gold set in the 1972 Munich Olympic. Phelps won the 200 metre freestyle in a world record time, finishing nearly 2 seconds ahead of South Korea's Park Tae-hwan in a time of one minute 42.96 seconds.

Mark Hughes who only joined Manchester City in the Summer from Blackburn is the centre of rumours concerning his future at the club as a result of the on going problems which beset City owner Thaksin Shinawatra. An arrest warrant has been issued for the former Thai Prime Minister in his native country after he failed to attend a court appearance, and rumours are flying about his continued

Rangers seem to already to be paying the price for the failure to secure a place in this seasons Champions League competition with the news that Aston Villa have agreed a fee with then to take Spanish defender Carlos Cuellar to Villa Park. The fee is thought to be around £7.9 million and the move was sparked when the Spaniard invoked a release clause in his contract. There is no doubt that the

Chelsea are it would appear preparing to make a world record bid for AC Milan player Kaka. The bid said to be in the region of £78 million if it were true would be too tempting an offer for the Italian club to turn down especially considering the fact that they have no Champions League football too look forward to this season. At Spurs it would seem that manager Juande Ramos is set to take a

25 year old Rebecca Cooke from Wales claimed Team GB`s first gold medal of this Summers Games when she won the Women`s Road Race in appalling weather conditions yesterday. Rain showers turned the event into a lottery and there were several crashes as the wet conditions made the surface treacherous in the 126 kilometer race, however Cooke who finished 5th in the same race in Athens in 2004 was in

With Gareth Barry`s on/off transfer to Liverpool apparently n the off position for the time being at least, rumours coming out of Anfield are linking them with a move for Valencia`s David Silva. The Spanish winger was an integral part of Spain`s success in the European Championship`s during the Summer and despite rumours to the contrary from the Spanish club they are allegedly not on the soundest

Championship: At 12:45 yesterday Birmingham and Sheffield United kicked of at St Andrews to start new season off, As expected the game itself was a tight affair and it took an injury time goal from substitute Kevin Phillips to seal all 3 points for Alex McLeish`s side.

Spain continued it`s remarkable Summer of Sporting success when Samuel Sanchez gained Spain`s first medal of any kind in this event by winning the Men's Road Race event. The 245 kilometer race was gruelling and only 97 of the 140 plus starters finished the event wit all of Britain`s competitors failing to compete in the extremely humid conditions. The silver went to David Rebellin of France

Rumours coming out of Anfield are that manager Rafa Benitez is unhappy with the perceived lack of support from the board in financing a move for Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry. The Villa ace had been Benitez`s long term target but the deal has seemed to of finally collapsed. Arsene Wenger is still keeping an eye on Swiss international Gohan Inler who is at Udinese in an effort to give a bit

The 2008 Olympics kicked of on the 8th day of the 8th month at 8.00 pm to provide a symmetry that hopefully will continue throughout the 16 days of the World`s greatest Sporting event. The number 8 is traditionally a lucky number in China and was key to the date of the opening ceremony. The people of Beijing put on a spectacular show in from of many of the Worlds leaders and an estimated World

In a Summer of protracted transfer deals the long running saga of Gareth Barry`s proposed move to Liverpool seems to have taken another twist with speculation that Liverpool may be forced to pull out of the move as they are unable to fund it. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has seen a proposed move from Hamburg for Dirk Kuyt come to nothing and now seems to be in a position where he cannot sell Xavi

As mentioned yesterday it seems likely that later today Bournemouth will have to start the season with a 17 point deduction if they wish to keep their place in the League. As in the case of Rotherham who had a similar punishment inflicted on them yesterday the Cherries who had 10 deducted last season which ultimately cost them their position in League 1 have not satisfied the league over set

The Men`s Olympic soccer competition kicked of yesterday, and after all the fuss over weather Leo Messi would play for Argentina in the Games, he finally turned out for the national side and produced a match winning performance in their 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast. Messi got the first goal midway through the first half and an Argentinian side that included Juan Riquelme and Javier Mascherano

Top referee Mark Clattenburg has been suspended following reports of his alleged debts. He was due to take charge of this coming weekends Community Shield match between Manchester United and Portsmouth but the game has now been handed to Philip Walton instead. The problem stems from alleged debts on his company which was wound up this week and the decision by the FA and Referees Union was taken

Following on from the 30 point penalty inflicted upon Luton Town last month it looks increasingly likely that Rotherham United will be docked 17 points due to failure to reach an agreement with their creditors. The situation is further worsened by the fact that they will be plying their home matches for the foreseeable future at the Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield. Rotherham have been beset with

Roy Keane the Sunderland boss stepped up his search for a striker to replace the injured Kenwynne Jones with a reported bid for Blackburn Striker Benni McCarthy, with rumours of discontent coming out of the Rovers camp since Paul Ince took charge the South African could be interested in a move. This rumour follows on from the alleged move made by Keane for Manchester Uniteds injury prone forward

It would appear that with the sale of Robbie Keane and the possible departure of Dimitar Berbatov that Spurs are being linked with every forward with two legs!!! The last two names to be linked with the North London outfit is Diego Forlan of Atletico Madrid and Dean Ashton of West Ham. Both would be good additions to what is becoming a very strong Spurs squad (remember this is coming from an

The danger of a strike by referees has seriously put in jepody the start of the new Scottish Premier League season due to start this weekend. The representatives of the Referees and the SPL meet yesterday without success in an effort to head of the proposed strike and are due to meet again later this week.

Craig Bellamy, West Ham`s Welsh forward is a doubt for the start of the Premier League season as he limped off during West Ham`s 5-3 friendly win at Ipswich last night. The striker had scored after 10 minutes but pulled up later into the first half and was immediately substituted by Hammers boss Alan Curbishley. The injury is yet another in a string for the unlucky front man who was in good

It would seem that Jaunde Ramos`s spending at Spurs is no nearer to stopping as he has now been linked with Valencia`s David Villa. Valencia are loathed to sell their star striker who was Spain`s top scorer at this Summers European Champions but they are known to be in financial difficulties and may find a bid in the region of £25 million too tempting. The funds for the move may well come from
