Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey thinks that Spurs' hunt for a striker would be made a lot easier once they get some decision from the player as to where his future will lie.

Gus Poyet, the Tottenham assistant manager, may still be trying to convince the fans that the club can hold onto their Bulgarian superstar, but the writing seems to be on the wall for Berbatov's Spurs career.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey cant believe that the build up to the Champions League Final is being hijacked by selfish players on the lookout for a pay rise next season by fuelling transfer rumours.

Football in 2008 is a very different beast compared to yesteryear, but surely some things must remain sacred. But, according to two of the Premier League's star performers, the Champions League final is no longer one of them.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey looks ahead to Saturday's FA Cup final and wonders who will be leaving Wembley with the famous trophy.

The FA Cup Final is the most famous day in the English football calendar and although tomorrows contest will feature clubs from outside the top four for the first time in over a decade, the game promises to deliver to football fans everywhere.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey thinks that while conspirators will agree with Avram Grant's comments that Man United received favourable referring decisions on their way to the title, the Chelsea boss should not be drawn into the debate after a successful first season in charge, especially with the Champions League final so close.

In a week's time, the Champions League trophy will be back in England. United, who are arguably the favourites, will be hoping that they can parade around the streets of Manchester as part of a magnificent double, while Chelsea will be hoping that they will be showing the European cup off to the public down the Kings Road.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey looks at Arsene Wenger's claims that Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas will one day go on to be the best midfielder in the world.

Cesc Fabregas first came to the attention of many fans of English football with a very assured performance at in the 2004 Community Shield. He had made his bow the previous season but this was the moment when it became clear that Wenger had unearthed another gem.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey thinks that Harry Redknapp is due a trophy and is glad that the wheeler dealer has come out and stated that he will not be retiring after Saturday's FA Cup final, as some sections of the press would have us believe.

After guiding Pompey to their highest finish in the Premier League, manager Harry Redknapp should have been given the keys to the city for a remarkable achievement. However, victory on Saturday would cement his place in the clubs history books.
