Some people say that the Chelsea job is the hardest in Football. Some claim that Fabio Capello has the toughest role of any manager in the world.

Two clubs that haven't yet resolved their differences with the taxman are AFC Bournemouth and Cardiff City, and both of them are still fighting off winding up orders. Mark Murphy has been taking a look at both clubs, and finds a bit of a high risk strategy taking place at each.

Of all the parallels between HMRC's ever-increasing roster of "see-you-in-court" clubs, the ones between Bournemouth and Cardiff are the most glaring.

Football supporters still love the FA Cup. Sure, it's not what it used to be. Yes, it tends to be won by the same select few that have any hope of winning the Premier League. But if the purpose of the FA Cup is to create stories, to provoke debate, then semi-final weekend suggested that it is alive and well.

Promotion Photo Special
The scenes at AFC Bournemouth today after they celebrated promotion in style by thumping Port Vale 4-0 in front of a bumper crowd of 9,055. Good luck to them and their loyal fans - quite a few of whom I know visit these pages.
Bournemouth v Southampton home and away is a good game for you overseas guys to note down for a visit next season.

Pitch invasions are awesome, aren't they? Sadly this dad won't let his son in a wheelchair join in on the fun... This, my friends, is how to fail as a dad. [skip to 1:50]

Capello called in 30 to the England camp, but here are the best XI definitely not going to South Africa [Who Ate All the Pies]

What Mourinho said to Guardiola after THAT sending off.

Even I'm getting bored with my cynicism these days, so I can only apologise to you. The moment I saw the ice being applied to Wayne Rooney's "injured" ankle at Bolton last weekend, I was applying those inverted commas in my head. I was not a jot surprised when Man Yoo's BBC spokesperson Michael Phelan said that Giggs was the main doubt for the Valencia.

Who will claim the 2010-2011 FA Cup? Will it be Chelsea yet again? It all begins yet again on the weekend of November 6th and 7th.

Many of us spent last Saturday afternoon sitting at home with nothing better to do than watch "Carry On Camping" on the television, but recent winters have been some way off the worst of the lot. In this (slightly amended) article, first written for Twohundredpercent in December of last year after a similar white blanket covered the country, we took the chance to look back upon the 1962/63 season.
