One last note on the old DT: Turns out we won't be able to redirect the old RSS feed to the new
one (the URL will redirect, but the RSS won't), so if you currently subscribe, you'll have to
switch to the new one here. I offer sincere apologies and a bushel of used batteries for the
inconvenience, but making the switch will certainly be worth it.

We're in the process of packing up and moving everything over to the Yahoo! blog right now. All
the new posts are over there and this URL will soon redirect there, too.
The archive of old posts will take a little time to migrate over, but you don't have to worry
your pretty little heads about that stuff.

Leg one of the Manchester Derby Carling Cup semifinal truly lived up to the hype, with
Carlos Tevez getting his revenge, Gary Neville getting fingery, and Mancini getting the best of Sir
Alex. But as great as it was, we really can't help but ask...what if it continued?
97′ Sir Alex Ferguson chews his gum so hard that it actually starts to bleed.

This kid gets taken. Out. Wow.
#8 in blue paid the price for his whiff at the ball/sweep of the leg, too he ends up on the
ground longer than the kid he launched into the air.
But, yeah...I really don't know what else to say about this because I'm too busy watching it
over and over.

If I told you Rino Gattuso opened a shop near Milan and asked you to guess what kind of shop it
is, the smart guess would be one that sells various weapons, torture devices, and rabies
medication.
Well, Rino actually did have a grand opening for his new shop in the town of Gallarate, which
was attended by thousands of people including Davey Becks and Ronaldinho.

After his recent Twitter rant about being left out of Liverpool's squad for last weekend's
draw with Stoke, Ryan Babel has taken it upon himself to apologize to Rafa Benitez in order to get
back in the manager's good graces. The following is a transcript of that apology.
Babel: Boss?

Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben got all bent out of shape when teammate Philipp Lahm went in for a
hard challenge on the fragile Dutchman during training. Robben was quick to shove Lahm after the
tackle that probably almost shattered his entire body and stand over him as would only dare against
a li'l guy like Philipp.

Portsmouth youth player and England U-17 captain learned a valuable lesson on football Facebook
etiquette. Namely, don't state how you want your own club to lose.
From The Mirror:
James Hurst, 17, who plays for bottom club Portsmouth, posted on his wall on the social
networking site before last month's 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.

You really can't accuse NAC Breda's Ellery Cairo of getting a cheap goal in his side's 1-1 draw
with Ajax on Sunday. As you can see at the start of the video above, Cairo found himself one-on-one
with the goalkeeper after an NAC breakaway. The keeper got the best of him on his sliding shot, but
Cairo's teammate quickly crossed the ball back to him just as he got his feet.

I am Becks. You know this. Welcome to my blog, again. I write it for myself (I call it a
blogoire because it sounds European and intelligent), as it allows me to chart my glorious return
through the tales of European football before I journey to South Africa for the World Cup under St
George's cross.

You remember when Standard Liege's Axel Witsel ruined the life of Anderlecht's Marcin Wasilewski
and gave us all night terrors forever by breaking his leg in half? Of course you do because it
probably still makes you scream at randoms points in the day.
Well, these two teams met again on Sunday and, once again, Witsel got sent off, but this time on
a far more questionable call (he got the ball first and you can't even see Roland Juhasz in frame
when he starts sliding) and a whole hubbub ensued.

If you plan on kidnapping any WAGS, I'm gonna have to go ahead and warn against it. Not just for
the moral and legal problems such an activity would present, but also because now they have this
panic alarm disguised as an iPod that sounds like it would thoroughly ruin any WAG-napping
plans.

After getting attacked outside a bank by angry Palmeiras fans back in December, Vagner Love was
released from his loan with the club and has now joined Flamengo on a temporary basis from CSKA
Moscow.
Love called the move "the dream of a lifetime" and, as you can see, he wasn't just being
nice.

See that? How the ball bounces off the crossbar and then play stops and MSV Duisburg's Christian
Tiffert shrugs as his teammates congratulate him? Yeah that was a goal. Well, the officials
declared it a goal, even though it clearly hit the bar and then bounced a full meter in front of
the goal.
