WHAT WON’T HAPPEN THIS WEEK

Monday:
Sir Alex Ferguson reacted quickly to the announcement by Roy Keane that his future was not at Old Trafford. In a desperate search for Keane’s successor, Ferguson approached Swiss scientific giants ‘Cuckoo und Clocken’ in a bid to have Keane cloned. All was going well until Keane’s X-chromosomes waded in and started giving the Y’s a bit of a kicking. According to Ferguson all is not lost, “They are just high-spirited youngsters, if you take that away from them you’d be left with a bit of a softie like Patrick Vierra. I’ll be having a word with them in private.”

Tuesday:
In an unusual show of player power, David Beckham the newly appointed President of Real Madrid insisted that he didn't pick any of the teams that he played for. However, he was delighted to announce the signing of two new players, Brooklyn Beckham and Romeo Beckham. "If they are good enough, they’ll play,” said El Presidente before adding that new team manager, Victoria Beckham, would be free to sign another player of Spanish origin if she saw the need to. Cruz Beckham's agent, David Beckham, wouldn't confirm that his client had been offered a contract that would see him through to his eighth birthday.

Wednesday:
In a major news story in Italy, it has emerged that all of Sunday's Serie A results are to be cancelled and the games to be replaced by the youth teams of each club. The Italian FA released a short statement regarding the matter. “We are cancelling the scores from the games after we discovered some major irregularities in the drug tests that we carried out after this latest round of matches. We tested 84 players for EPO, and discovered that an incredible 11 tested negative for the performance enhancer. This simply goes against the spirit of the game in our country.”

Thursday:
Boring day, nothing happened really, well, except that Roy Keane was in court accused of “failing to control his chromosomes in a public place.”


Friday:
In a surprisingly candid interview with Sky Sports News, Chelsea manger Jose Mourinho announced that he wasn’t in fact God, he wasn’t even Jesus. However, Mourinho did own up to being Moses or Moses Mourinho. He revealed that he attributed a lot of his success down to the fact that he could using telepathy control the opposition defenses. You guessed it, he believed he could make them part like the Red Sea.
