Arsène Wenger will protect Arsenal's title challenge against further injury by air-lifting Herita Ilunga from West Ham and then heading over to Real Madrid to evacuate none other than Martin Keown's old mucker, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Can I take a minute to testify? Thank you. I'm now 33 years old with little time for exercise and a penchant for rich cheeses and savory meats. It is for this very reason that I possess a body type that could be described as "rotund" and why many soccer jersey's come off like meat casing on my frame. Click to continue reading...

Has the transfer window opened again? I awoke to see the headlines about Arsenal being linked to three players. Bolton's Gary Cahill just as a back up centre half, he could be just the answer especially with Johan out until February with a knee injury, Song our other back up centre half going to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Well, that wasn't pleasant. Not at all.

Before the season started, I knew little about this Burnley side. I like to see former top-flight stalwarts come up and Burnley one of the orginal 12 sides in the Football League haven't been up in 33 years. But apart from that, I knew no reason why they shouldn't be on track to follow Derby County and West Bromwich Albion straight back down.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez admits his side used the disappointing experiences of last season as guidance in Saturday's 4-0 victory over Burnley.
Yossi Benayoun hit a hat-trick, with a Dirk Kuyt goal sandwiched in between, to wrap up a comfortable win against the newly-promoted Clarets on their first league visit to Anfield in 33 years. Click to continue reading...

Rafael Benitez v Owen Coyle
There's no doubt Owen Coyle has enjoyed a better start to the season than his opposite number. Burnley's opening day defeat at Stoke was quickly forgotten after a famous victory over Manchester United in their first top flight fixture at Turf Moor in 33 years. Click to continue reading...

Well, I went out and bought four of the remasters today: A Hard Day's Night, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, and Abbey Road. I put them in the CD player chronologically and, before I could even get to the couch, was blown away by the KERRANG of the opening chord of A Hard Day's Night.

For the record, I don't give a crap about the Beatles Rock Band Game.

It's your first home game in the Premiership in 33 years. You were beaten by giants Stoke on the opening weekend. You've been granted a reprieve of...three-time defending champions Manchester United. Roll over and pray for morning sounds like a decent option, doesn't it? ManU lost four times in the league all of last year, to [. Click to continue reading...

A debut goal from Emmanuel Adebayor helped big-spending Manchester City to a 2-0 victory at Blackburn Rovers on the opening day of the Premier League season, while Thomas Vermaelen was among the scorers on his Arsenal bow as the Gunners won 6-1 at Everton.

Dream start
Adebayor, a €29m signing from Arsenal last month, gave Mark Hughes's expensively-assembled outfit the perfect start at Ewood Park, firing the visitors in front after three minutes.

Burnley started off their first season in England's top flight for 33 years with a defeat away to a Stoke side who showed why they avoided relegation last time around.

Two first half set pieces proved to be Burnley's downfall; the highly rated Ryan Shawcross opened the scoring with an unchallenged header then Rory Delap continued his throw-in antics with a perfectly weighted ball that Stephen Jordan glanced into the back of the net.

Burnley return to the top flight after an absence of 33-years, and will hope to begin their campaign by taking three points off their opponents – ironically, the ones that they will hope to emulate.

The Potters defied all the odds by surviving last season with relative ease, and will want to begin their sophomore season as a team that has improvement as its cornerstone.

Murmers abound: Arsene Wenger may be planning a move for old Arsenal stalwart Patrick Vieira. This is either the perfect plan or a complete waste of time. I haven't figured it out yet.

The Vieira who once helped lead Arsenal through the glory days of trophies and titles could be what the Professor needs right now.

NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION VS. TORONTO FC
Gillette Stadium ("The Best a Man Can Get") - Saturday 7:30PM ESTTV: GOL-TV
Personally, I'm partial to the old version of England. New England... it's like New Coke. Travel tips aside, it's time for The Reds to once again invade Boston (see what I did there? Click to continue reading...

Sir Alex Ferguson has been asked today about what threat he feels Manchester City will pose to us next season.

There's been some bizarre behaviour down the road. City fans mobbed Carlos Tevez, the man who that day claimed he loved United fans. They paid £25m for the hard-worker who scored five league goals last season.

Busy this weekend?

Get caught up here in 60 seconds (or less):

*The U.S. overcame staggering odds Sunday to see Italy suffer its biggest loss to Brazil in 33 years combined with the first American win ever over Egypt and improbably scoring three after only managing one in the tournament to that point.

Steven Gerrard has admitted that he could retire at the end of his current contract, which runs until 2013.
The Liverpool skipper will be 33-years-old by then and accepts that he may decide to hang up his boots.
The England international claims he will take great pride from the fact that, should he call time on his illustrious career at that juncture, he will have spent his entire career at Anfield. Click to continue reading...

There is no question about it, Ruud van Nistelrooy has been one of the best strikers in the world over the last decade. On the form he showed at PSV, Man Utd and even Real Madrid, he'd be a superb acquisition for Tottenham. The problem is that he's fast approaching 33 years old and hasn't played any football for a good nine months following a serious knee injury.

33 years. This is how long it took for Brazil to defeat Uruguay at the Centenario stadium. The last time Brazil won there, Zico was having his debut with the yellow jersey. After that, people like Socrates, Careca, Muller, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho Gaucho tried but did not win.

Juan and Kaká on target for Brazil

Brazil ended 33 years without a win against Uruguay in Montevideo with a thumping 4-0 victory on Saturday. Daniel Alves, Juan, Luís Fabiano and Kaká were all on the score sheet in a result that left Brazil temporarily top of the table. Once again, it wasn't a great performance from Brazil and Dunga's men had to thank their brilliant keeper, Júlio César, for stopping everything Uruguay threw at him.
