Advertising standards An unfortunately positioned television microphone gave one of Manchester
City's sponsors an entirely different line of business. Perhaps Thomas Cock should be Jamie
Redknapp's alter ego next time he does a commercial for his favourite travel agents. Don't just
bock it, folks. Or maybe it was pitchside instruction to Mario Balotelli and also [.

If, like me, you consider car (and perfume) adverts to be little more than pretentious
audio/visual litter then this may not be your cup of tea.
That said, Audi's pre-El Clasico (I think I'm right in saying they sponsor both Barcelona and
Real Madrid in some capacity) viral has a really nice pay-off after a few minutes of obligatory
slow motion a huge piece of football artwork that you'd think they'd have made a bit more of,
rather than just flashing it up on the screen for a split-second at the end.

And to think, the people at which this advert is aimed don't even care about how cute Kaka looks
with a banjo, Tim Cahill's thoughts on bonsai, or whether you can see up Pique's shorts in the
living room scene (you can't).
If it wasn't for us, the whole thing would have been a bit of a waste of money, really.

Please enjoy the TV commercial for Coleen Rooney's latest fragrance, Butterflies.
In case you didn't know, butterflies have an important place in Coleen's life ever since she
incorporated them into her wedding to Wayne three years ago.

This is a book full of football tales provided by real life fans who have a love for the game
rather than seasoned journalists.
There is a refreshing level of raw talent throughout the publication, names of aspiring writers
who will be seen in print a lot more in coming years.

Behind the transfer talk Brazilian star Neymar has revealed his reasons for turning down a move to
Europe and signing a new contract with Santos in a new advert for Gurana soft drink. In the
commercial, young Neymar finds that his skills are not suited to the snowy conditions. A quick dip
in the sea [.

In which, coming back from an advert break at half-time during Fulham's game against Odense, Jim
and Stan get 'caught' signing a rousing, tongue-in-cheek rendition of 'Thursday Nights, Channel
Five!' the new wave football chant used to mock big clubs that suffer untimely Champions League
exits and which, depending on who you choose to believe, may be the song that got Ashley Cole a
slapping after he sung it in the tunnel when Chelsea beat Man City on Monday.
Blackburn Rovers have been hit with a massive blow on the injury front after defender Scott Dann
was ruled out for six weeks after rapturing his testicles. Dann sustained the freak groin injury
during Saturday's 2-1 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at Ewood Park which left Blackburn second
bottom in the table after 16 games.

It's easy to trot out cliches about yesterday's game - it was a great advert for the premier
league, etc. - but the fact of the matter is that we lost. We may have lost heroically, and we can
be proud of the performance, but we're still three further behind in terms of the race for
Champions League spots.
Football is a game full of Arseholes, even Messi (especially Messi). Please don't exit page just
yet, I do go on to explain... Gareth Bale. He's a nice guy. He's dedicated to the game. He always
gives 100%. He doesn't drink. And he never draws any bad press. But when he was younger, he was
