It is not all about the Premier League this weekend because the FA Cup also gets under way.

There will be 368 teams from the lower echelons of English football taking their first step on the road to Wembley, among them is Romsey Town, whose manager James Phillips is set to make FA Cup history on Saturday.

The 22-year-old is believed to be the youngest ever boss in the competition, and he says: "I was one of those sad people after school who was sat there for hours playing Championship Manager. I always used to try and take a really small club up through the leagues. Now I'm doing it in real life. It's a little bit different with a bit more pressure."

Cambridge United sign former Wolves midfielder Sam Whittall on a six-month deal.

The 20-year-old had been on trial with the U's this summer after being released by the Championship side.

"He is someone we kept our eye on last year. He's had a good grounding at a good club," U's boss Richard Money tells BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

A Colombian lawyer is suing Fifa for 1bn Euros for moral damages caused by the refereeing at the World Cup.

74-year-old Aurelio Jimenez claims he was taken to hospital with cardiac and respiratory problems as a result of Colombia's 2-1 defeat to Brazil in the quarter-final - a match in which Colombian defender Mario Yepes had a goal disallowed and James Rodriguez was booked.

Jimenez says: "I decided to sue Fifa because in the World Cup there were many wrongdoings related to referees who damaged many countries , among them the Colombia team that suffered the corruption of referee Antonio Velasco Carballo, who annulled a fair goal of Mario Alberto Yepes.

"I felt very bad, I was heartbroken, my cardiac rhythm was altered and my relatives took me to the Emergency Room at the Hospital. I was surrounded by my grandchildren who were crying a lot."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes new Arsenal team-mate Calum Chambers has the potential to go to the very top.

"I'm just trying to take Calum under my wing and show him the ropes. He's a really good lad and the boys really want to go out of their way to help him bed in," Oxlade-Chamberlain said.

"We saw him play for Arsenal for the first time at the Emirates Cup and I thought he was superb for a 19-year-old playing centre-back, against really good players. I thought he looked very assured and he's going to be a great talent for the club."

The future of Loic Remy is the main talking point at Harry Redknapp's news conference, and the QPR boss adds: "Loic's goal record in the Premier League is excellent. We'll need his goals. I'd take 15 each from him and Charlie Austin.

"There have been several clubs who have phoned up but they are not the kind of clubs he would want to leave QPR for.

"I don't think Loic would leave us late on. He's too decent a guy to walk away in the last week of the transfer window."

QPR boss Harry Redknapp says attacking midfielder Adel Taarabt wants to leave the club: "He wants to move. We just need a club to come in and pay the money that the chairman is looking for.

"Adel hasn't done one day's training since we got back in pre-season. He just needs to get fit, whether he's here or not."

Okay, so it hasn't quite been a drought of Ricky van Wolfswinkel proportions, but after a torrid World Cup, Brazilian striker Fred could have been forgiven for wondering if he'd ever find the net again.

But the 30-year-old is back among the goals, scoring for Fluminense against America-Natal in the Copa Brasil. That's the good news.

The bad news is that his side somehow contrived to blow a four-goal aggregate lead against their second-tier opponents and crashed out of the competition. Fair to say the cup competitions haven't been kind to Fred recently...
