Just lies today I fear - and it's very quiet, maybe the hacks are making party plans for the weekend instead of dreaming up BS.

Moratti appears enthusiastic with the idea of landing the player, but was eager not to uncover the blue prints in terms of how the club will move for Mascherano.
But he did make clear that Benitez's feelings towards the midfielder would influence any subsequent decision to sign him.
"I know that he has always played well and he has a strong character. He is intelligent," he told Il Corriere dello Sport.
"But, we have many players for the role who are both good and clever. We will see if he is needed on a technical-tactical level.
"Does Moratti want him? We will see. we have to see if he is needed by Benitez and if there is a chance to get him."

Huntelaar has been linked with a move to the Premier League since January, when West Ham were known admirers but he will want to set his sights a little higher now.
Liverpool are in the market for a striker, as are Tottenham – who have just qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Huntelaar would give Spurs’ side much needed experience of European football but Roy Hodgson could turn to the Dutchman should Fernando Torres leave Anfield this summer.
Speaking to Sky Italia, Galliani dropped a hint that a move to England could be on the cards for Huntelaar, with Podolski a good alternative.
“Podolski will arrive only on one condition – Huntelaar will be sold to the Premier League and this will open up new economic scenarios for us,†he said.

It is understood that both Harry Redknapp and Roy Hodgson are monitoring Richards despite the fact that Vedran Corluka and Glen Johnson have been highly praised for their own performances in the right-back position at White Hart Lane and Anfield respectively.
Richards is thought to retain a value in the £10-15 million bracket, a figure which would represent a sizable outlay for both Spurs and Liverpool.
