It must do your confidence a world of good when you go to a new club as Guedioura has and hear that the manager doesn't think he has strengthened his squad.
? "Aitor Karanka spoke of his admiration for new Middlesbrough signing Adlene Guedioura after he completed his transfer from Watford FC. Karanka says he had been scouting the Algerian international for three years before he signed a two-and-a-half year deal at Riverside Stadium."
Not sure where I read it Yorkie, but Karanka was quoted as saying he didn't feel that his squad had been strengthened. Maybe it was badly reported as meaning that overall he was not much better off.
Wow - and to think we tried bidding for him. Missed a banana skin there I think... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38855561
Tim Cahill got sent off in bizarre fashion in this morning's Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City derby match. He was standing on the touchline waiting to be subbed on, just as an own goal put Victory into a winning lead - the ref came over and showed him the red card. No-one seems to know why...

The dreaded vote of confidence? Leicester City have given their "unwavering support" to manager Claudio Ranieri despite the reigning Premier League champions being just one point above the relegation zone.
This makes the beach ball incident at Sunderland a few years ago seem like a minor issue: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/foot...-stands/ar-AAmFqYB?li=AAmiR2Z&ocid=spartandhp
