Chelsea kicked in the Ballacks. Gotta love that headline. Bayern Munich and Germany captain Michael Ballacks reportedly turns down the chance to sign a 4-year deal worth GBP25m with Chelsea.

16 year old Adu to Chelsea? Freddie Adu can't even get into the starting line-up for DC United yet Chelsea might sign him?

I've read that Rossi wants to play for the Italian national team (although born in the US, he also holds an Italian passport).

Chelsea will sign him and then ship him off "on loan" to a second tier premiership or championship side for a few years. If he starts a single game for Chelsea before he turns 20 I'd be shocked. Peter Kenyon wants to crack the US market and what better way than to sign the best young US player. The argument could be made, though, that the best young US player is Rossi at ManU. Too bad Rossi wants nothing to do with the US national team.

Bode Miller is at it again Miller has taken the focus off his indiscretions by pointing the cheating finger at Bonds and Armstrong.

No, grum, my sentence does not apply to both Bonds and Armstrong. Bonds admitted to taking steroids, but unknowingly...remember the steroid cream comments? Armstrong has never admitted, or otherwise been busted, for performance enhancing drugs.

"He should have quit before the last one, then he would have had more credibility." Sorry, ChasHocq, I don't buy that. Considering the French press in hammering Armstrong for allegedly failing a test in 1999, whether he won one tour or a dozen, they'd still be after him. Yes, there's a lot of smoke around Armstrong, and some of his associations are suspect, but in the end the guy has passed every test thrown at him. If Bode Miller wants to pass judgment on another athlete he should at least have the stones to provide the basis for his opinion.

For someone who has expressed disdain for media attention, Bode Miller seems to keep finding ways to make certain all cameras are on him. Considering that his current form doesn't foretell a very successful Olympics, perhaps he should keep his trap shut.

Man U and Arsenal managers give up on title. After the former champions fought to an 0-0 draw yesterday, Arsenal (who went a whole season undefeated just two seasons ago) manager Wenger said: "The players were less nervous because we are not going for the title - we cannot compete with Chelsea." Utd manager Ferguson said: "Chelsea's consistency is beyond us." Man Utd (2nd) and Arsenal (6th) are 13 and 24 pts behind Chelsea. It's only halfway through the season, with 17 more rounds to go.

A "derby" is a match between local teams, a grudge match of sorts. Arsenal and Chelsea play a "London Derby." I've been watching too much EPL...the venacular is slowly inching its way into my everday usage. Also, I don't think Arsenal will catch Tottenham. Arsenal just doesn't have the same spark this year as in years past.

It seems the only excitement left in the EPL is who finishes second and whether Arsenal can catch Tottenham for the final Champions League spot. The positive side, though, is that because the EPL has no many local and regional derbys there's always at least two or three high quality matches each game day.

Frank Lampard is heading to Barcelona. That's why Chelsea is chasing Ballacks.
