With another double-header of World Cup qualifiers on the horizon, we find ourselves staring into a gaping void in the footballing calendar this week.

Like many local rivals, Blackburn Rovers and Burnley have more in common than either would care to admit, and the rivalry between the two clubs has the added bonus of rarity value. This weekend, they meet at Ewood Park in the Premier League. It's the first time that they have met in the top flight since the 1965/66 season, and they have only managed a handful of matches against each other in any competition since the early 1980s.

Portsmouth are currently one of the hot favourites to go down at the end of the 2009-10 season following the delay in the takeover of the club, which has seen an exodus of players in order to continue running the club. Reinforcements have been few and far between in comparison to the sales, and with the added bonus of injuries, it will be a trying day at Fratton Park for manager Paul Hart.

I didn't watch the US Men on Saturday.
I know that makes me less of a fan, less of an American and less of a man than you. Fine. I'm good with that.

Mark Hughes eyes up talented Brazilian.

Manchester City have joined the race to sign Inter Milan full-back Maicon in January, according to reports.
The 28-year-old Brazilian has made 97 Serie A appearances for the Nerazzurri scoring eight times since arriving from Monaco in 2006.

The Jimmy Conrad Show returns next week Tuesday for the 2009 recap edition. The show will take place from 8-9 p.m. CT at Fox and Hound in Overland Park. As an added bonus for fans who attend, Jimmy will be raffling off his game-worn, autographed jersey from the last round of U.S. World Cup Qualifiers.

The matches to watch after you realize that playing football while wearing a cape might be the most awesome thing ever.

Arsenal v Tottenham at Emirates Stadium North London derby. While Spurs are a little depleted at the moment (Defoe, Lennon, dos Santos, and Modric all out), this is still the match of the weekend.

The backers of Torrance's planned state of the art Futsal facility in a former warehouse on Maple Avenue have signed a lease for the 73,000-square-foot building and are projecting a December opening.

This was a late decision. I was originally going to watch Leek Town at Market Drayton, but MDT had an FA Trophy replay.

Good morning all. I'd like to take a moment to shine a little light on a couple of other sites that I have been meaning to shout out for quite some time. If you have the time and inclination I suggest you visit the following:
First and foremest is No Clean Sheets by a multi-talented kid out of Dallas named Ed Sherrell.

2009 seems to witnessed a surge in new City blogs springing up, and there are now a healthy smattering covering City in various shapes and forms.
One of the more impressive ones is Norfstander, which has the added bonus of a regular Friday mp3 feature - which does highlight a discerning taste in music.
