**Today's football stories ... **
Sir Alex Ferguson, the **[Manchester United][3]** manager, will be relieved to
avoid Europe's big guns in the first knockout round of the **[Champions
League][4]** after [securing top spot in Group C][5] with their 1-1 draw at
home to Valencia, but was left sweating over Rio Ferdinand after the defender
limped off with a hamstring injury. ([Sun][6])
Sam Allardyce, the **[Blackburn Rovers][7]** manager, appears to be on a
collision course with the club's new owners over January signings and could
walk away from Ewood Park if he is not allowed to buy **[Tottenham
Hotspur][8]**'s Robbie Keane and other big-name stars. ([Sun][6])
Andrei Arshavin has received a ticking off from **[Arsenal][9]** team-mate
Jack Wilshere after helping Russia secure the World Cup. ([Sun][10])

Martin Jol turned down the **[Newcastle United][17] **job four years ago and
looks set to do so again following the [sacking of Chris Hughton on
Monday][18] having seen Mike Ashley's bizarre financial blueprint for the
**[Premier League][19]** club. ([Daily Express][20])
Alan Pardew believes he is the front-runner to be the Newcastle manager - as
the Geordies prepare to hand their latest manager a "long-term" deal after Jol
ruled himself out on Tuesday because of his friendship with Hughton, who was
his No 2 during his time at White Hart Lane. ([Mirror][21])
Manchester United have decided that the best way to keep their stars out of
trouble at this year's Christmas party is to hold the event at Old Trafford...
and fill it with showgirls for Ferguson's James Bond-themed festive knees-up.
([Mirror][22])
Rafael Benitez, the Inter Milan manager, has admitted he is anxious to win the
Fifa Club World Cup to save his job following their 3-0 defeat to Werder
Bremen in the Champions League on Tuesday night. ([Mirror][23])
Harry Redknapp, the Tottenham Hotspur manager, has insisted he will not rein
his side in when the Champions League resumes after watching them produce
another thriller away to Twente to top Group A. ([Daily Mail][24])
Alex Beam of The Boston Globe has offended **[Liverpool][25]** fans by calling
the Hillsborough disaster a 'riot'. Beam, 56, also described the city of
Liverpool as 'doggy' and 'grotty' in a piece intended to criticise the club's
new owner, John W. Henry, who also owns the Boston Red Sox. ([Daily Mail][26])
