New Bafana Bafana Jersey
According to Kickoff, "the New Bafana Bafana kit is not much different from the current one,

Sorry faithful readers for not updating lately. As I have previously stated, I definitely struggle
to muster the words when we lose. I take it very hard, and that has certainly not changed in the

There isn't exactly a definitive conclusion with stats like these. Liverpool improved in six
seasons (marginally in two of those), worsened in three, and stayed the same exactly once.
Unsurprisingly, eight games don't make a season. We're less than a quarter of the way through the
league.

Gunners Today 30 September @ 03:57 PM EST
As a goalkeeper for Arsenal, Bob Wilson captured the heart of many Gooners. He gave 11 years
service as a player before another 28 years as a goalkeeping coach. The word 'legend' is thrown
around a lot these days, but it is a title Wilson richly deserves. But it doesn't stop there...
Wilson is a family man through and through.

Ryan Giggs is rolling back the years. He is going to be 36 in November. But like Benjamin
Button, he seems like he is only getting younger. You would think we someone as good him, he can't
be 35, approaching 36. Coming on as a substitute with the score at 0-0 against Stoke, his impact
was priceless.

So I wake up this morning expecting nothing actually. Fireworks tonight. Some beer and burgers in
between.
And Michael Owen signing with Manchester United?
Um?
Isn't this one about 10 years too late?

dependable and dedicated?

I've never been very religious but I do believe in God. In fact I've seen him. He wore an Arsenal
shirt for 11 years.
His name is Dennis Nicolaas Maria Bergkamp and he is Dutch. The Ice-man. And I loved him like
family.
The man was, and is, an absolute Arsenal legend and I want him back at the club.

It's been a busy week in the world of La Liga. Javier Saviola finally realised that he wasn't a
required player at Real Madrid, and if he actually wanted to be able to write the word
‘footballer' as his occupation on his arrival card whenever he nicked back to Buenos Aires for a
holiday, he would have to go in search of new employers.

Yaya Toure, Kolo's younger brother shows why Arsenal should get this man. Brilliant footwork,
great balance, and a killer finish. It all began at the half line. Yaya was shifted to the center
back position because of Abidal's suspension and Rafa Marque's injury.
His goal scored the equalizer for Barca who went on to demolish Bilbao through goals by Messi,
Krkic, and Xavi.

Over the weekend, the BBC gave football fans the length and breadth of the world the news that
