Dominic Wilcox is an artist who makes, among other things, watch sculptures the type which operate better in a glass encasement than inevitably shattering against the nearest solid object. He made one for football which was on exhibit in London recently.

The Beautiful Game, 2011 A footballer holds aloft a trophy in the form of a pound symbol (£) as three prospective WAGs fight for his attention.

Have you ever seen a referee so cool?

Whenever a mass protest occurs in which physical violence is an imminent threat or has already occurred, you're bound to see a referee fleeing like the alien arrival scene in a blockbuster film, mouth gaping, tears flowing and "Mommy" clearly audible.

The yearly list of football club annual revenue is out yet again and the gap between the two Spanish behemoths and the rest of the field is growing ever wider. Despite the trophy success of last year, Barcelona has lost the financial Clasico to Real Madrid...yet again (lucky number seven in a row) and it wasn't terribly close.

This takes down February's best footy related video award easily.

Kei Kamara of the Kansas City Wizards dons the gorilla suit for a series of pranks during a set of real or staged interviews. It doesn't really matter it's all awesome.

It is also very likely Cyprion Hedrick wet his pants.

What do you say to this?

Holy @#$%.

Incredibly, everyone from Samsunspor Turkish Super Lig survived and the team bus is the only thing which netted catastrophic damage. And as evident from the video, no signs/warnings appeared that, ya know, a train was steaming in.

Someone's likely to see a change in employment status for this.

Adriano is both one of the most gifted strikers of his generation and one of the most disappointing, ballooning to Ronaldo's late-career playing weight right smack in the middle of his prime, among other, non-gravitational-field-related issues (drinking, partying, shooting people, etc). Now at Corinthians and fresh off an Achilles injury and platter of Happy Meals, he's back in trouble for being fat.

The set-and-finish own goal is one of extreme rarity, such that it should have its own show on some science channel. To deflect a ball into the net is one thing, but a composed boot, if shanked? That's truly special stuff.

The gentleman in question is Ashraf Soliman of Maccabi Umm al-Fahm.

A pitch invasion took center stage during the first half at Anfield this evening, if only because no one else could. There's something in here about the cat being more productive than Andy Carroll, too.

Also, it already has at least three Twitter accounts. Of course. (One of them.)

Another cat, a black one, bolted across the Camp Nou pitch this weekend, possibly an ominous harbinger for their title defense.

Beyond anything which Mario may or may not be doing...what an odd sequence to catch during a game, isn't it? Fans get caught doing things quite often, but not players seated in cushy boxes.

That said....Mario makes a coke can disappear. I think. Which is pretty nice. Though I imagine the higher ups would prefer he be watching the game.

If you've paid any attention to the Bayern Munich news bits over the past years, you'll know that they've got some characters running the show. Thus their public persona isn't exactly seen as the cuddly teddy bear, smiled-at-least-once-in-their-lives types. So to hear that they gave Borussia Dortmund, a direct competitor, a loan which saved them from bankruptcy in 2003 is just.

This might be a touch simplistic and naive, but...

Shouldn't DVDs on 'how to tackle' be handed out to the youth teams of Premiership clubs, rather than the guys getting six figures a week to go in at some poor man's ankles?

But the higher ups at the FA in England have deemed it a necessary act.

Footballers already get millions to play a game as their career, delighting in an extended childhood. Why not go all the way and stop for playtime in the snow as well?

Actually, Joel Obi's plunge into a snowbank really just serves as further proof no game should ever be canceled due to snow.

At least for 2011-12.

Having already played once this season to raucous applause, Palermo and Inter danced once again at the San Siro today amidst the snow. Their first meeting was nice, Palermo snatching a 4-3 victory and giving neutrals the joyous gift of 7 goals. Tonight they did one better collectively a 4-4 draw, taking their tally for the year to an utterly absurd 15 goals.

The death toll is currently mounting tragically in Egypt after a pitch invasion and fire hit Al Masri's stadium in Port Said on the back of a massive upset over Al Ahly less than one hour ago. One AP report has it at seven, while another less than 15 minutes later shows it at 35. And yet another moments later at 40.

Portions of Italy have been belted with snow over the past two days, canceling a number of matches as they dismiss the delight of a winter wonderland. The Serie B match between Livorno and Varese made it til the very end, however, with Magnus Troest (big arsed central defender) scoring a brace.
