Non Chelsea-related post: Well, not really. We play Voyeur's men in a little more than a week.

Quite hilarious advert from the Arsenal in support of their fundraising campaign this term. Cesc as a cute and cuddly pony is spot on; Theo as a lion, not so much. Never thought I'd say this, but well done Arsenal.

Like sex, football sells. For the good, but usually for that bad as you will see in 10 swift steps. Please take into consideration that there are thousands more, but for now there is one question I need to ask you What's the French for Va, Va Voom?

We all know about Rafa Benitez's press conference last year where he randomly came out with a load of facts despite being unprovoked and we all know that it was the turning point in Liverpool's season as they lost the title that was surely going to Anfield...

Some bright spark at ESPN brought to my attention that their 5 losses in the Premier League this term spells out one of Rafa's favourite words.

We had other plans for this space today, Kickettes.

But, our in-box wants what it wants. And this morning, we were emailed a set of Fernando Torres photos that involve him getting wet in the name of his PES 2009* advert. This sole situation would be enough to warrant our undivided attention, time and focus for at least three weeks.

A follow up to last weeks advert from a few years later, the Honey Monster now finds himself a reserve goalkeeper for Manchester United in a European fixture...

I'm pretty sure Peter Schmeichel should have been sent off for the foul, instead good ol' Honey Monster gets subbed on and pulls off a blinder of a save Rene Higuita-esque.

I'm rolling back the years here to an advert from 1996. It is Kevin Keegan giving the Sugar Puff's Honey Monster a run out at Wembley for the Toon Army and the big man grabbing a powerful header on the backstick. Classic...

Produced at a time when Newcastle were at the height of their popularity across the country, as they played some of the best football around and Keegan's men were pushing for the title.

Little has been reported about Camel Meriem since his trial with Bolton Wanderers Football Club.

Despite his trial with the club and an apparent offer of a two year deal back in April (2009) it seems that Meriem no longer features in Gary Megson's plans.

Camel Meriem may still become a player in the Premier League as he begun a trial with Blackburn Rovers this week.

Always ready to make a few quid (usually on eBay) Bolton Wanderers have responded quickly to the news outbreak that swine flu is infecting the English Premier League with BWFC branded face masks selling at a reasonable £14.99.

Instead of singing 'stand up if you hate man u' perhaps 'a–choo if you hate swine flu' could be a topical song that could be sung when Bolton travel down south for their League Cup clash against Chelsea.

So far I haven't been able to find full highlights unfortunately, though I have found a video of all the goals (you'll have to watch an advert about toothbrushes, but it's worth it). I will admit, I did not see the match, nor have I been able to watch full highlights (I was playing rugby), so this report will be a bit of an amalgamation of tidbits I stole form other reports.

Yet another advert hot off the Nike production line and this one has Cesc Fabregas advertising the new CTR360 Maestri boots.

It's genius in my opinion as it shows Cesc being the midfield maestro that he is, but in a Bond Villain-esque way. The boots are apparently not bad either as my captain (and centre half) has said that he's tempted to get rid of all his shoes and just wear these boots, as they are the most comfortable shoes he's had.

Big Story
It's been a bad week for football with racism by fan(s) prominently rearing its head again. Supporters continue to take a stand against racism in the game, but sometimes even their own clubs don't support their efforts in a shocking and petty move, Bristol Rovers management have refused to run an anti-racism ad in the club's matchday magazine by the club's own supporters trust, the Gas Independent Fans' Trust (GIFT).

Judging by this photograph there were a few similarities between Bolton's match against Manchester United and Sunderland versus Liverpool. Sunderland beat Liverpool by a single contentious goal in which Darren Bent's shot was deflected by a beach ball.

Zat Knight refused to comment.

This advert is probably the best and the most famous football advert for those of you who have been Sky Sports fans since it was created. Sheffield United fan Sean Bean fronts this fantastic advert...

Life

It can be difficult

You know that

We all need someone to rely on

Someone who's going to be there

Someone who's going to make you feel like you belong

Someone constant

It's ectasy, anguish, joy and despair
Part of our history
Part of our country
And it will be part of our future
It's theatre, art, war and love
It should be predictable .

This year Sky released a double header of football adverts for us to ponder our subscription over. One had the "special one" Jose Mourinho and the second was an attempt at remaking the glorious Sean Bean advert of 97...

The first one is Sky's attempt to resurrect the "we know how you feel about it, cos we feel the same" campaign.

When sponsors misbehave [Click image to enlarge] It seems our advertisers have been having fun and games with our story about Jamie O'Hara offering to give loans to his cash-strapped team-mates. They served up a Debt Problems advert underneath! Thanks to Matty for spotting this.

Hot off the conveyor belt of cracking adverts by Nike, Patrice Evra has got his very own one and in cartoon form. It is a very very cool advert...

My only objection is that playing for Manchester comes lower than playing for France. Lies I tell you, lies...

Despite the Premier League's reputation for being the most exciting league in the world matches like Sunday's Manchester derby don't come around too often.
I am supporter of neither team but I couldn't help but be caught up in the breathless drama of it all. Local tussles such as this can often degenerate into passionate but scrappy affairs, with the fear of defeating leading to a drab draw. Click to continue reading...

You may have read that Tope has signed for one more month, which means he will remain a Robin until October 13, 2009. So far Tope has participated in 7 matches so far and scored twice.

However, the official Swindon Town website no longer states that he is on loan from Bolton and gives Bolton as his 'previous club'.
