It's (arguably) Google's 10th birthday today. Obviously a lot of readers find The Offside via
Google, and most of the search terms that land people here are obvious and enough. Things like team
names and player names. But not all of them. Here's a selection of some of the more interesting
search terms that have bought people [.
It's taken me a little while to catch up on the goings on this week as I was away over the weekend.
My wife and I took a camping trip and got away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while.
We ended up with some rainy weather but made the best [...]
Middlesbrough paid Heerenven around £12million to sign Brazilian international striker Alfonso
Alves on Thursday just hours before the January transfer shut up and Boro manager Gareth Southgate
is visibly delighted with the club record signing. Sky Sports quotes Southgate as saying: I think
it's very satisfying when so much effort has been put in, and I've got [.
Alfonso Alves might have brought with him loads of quality and a formidable goal scoring track
record but the Brazilian international striker has also imported a whole heap of controversies and

Southgate confident deal for Alves will remain despite AZ Alkmaar dispute
Gareth Southgate is confident there is no case to answer despite AZ Alkmaar's claims of a
pre-contract agreement with Alfonso Alves, the Heerenveen player, who signed a four and a half year
deal with Middlesbrough on Thursday.

striker might be banned from playing in the Premier League this season after Alkmaar's claim that
they have a pre-contract agreement with the striker.
Middlesbrough manager cannot stop singing praises of his January signing Alfonso Alves. The
Brazilian international striker was signed from the Dutch side Heerenveen during the January
transfer period and made his full debut against Sheffield United in the FA Cup fifth round replay
in midweek and Southgate has already become a Alves fan.
Middlesbrough appear to be making some long awaited headway in signing the Brazilian international
striker Alfonso Alves from Dutch first division club Heerenveen. Football-Corner Blogspot has
reported that the deal will be completed in the next 24 hours but the amount of transfer fee has
not been verified.
Two goals in the span of fifteen minutes saw Middlesbrough kickoff the new campaign with a 2-1
win.
Interesting game from my point of view. There's a reason why Justin Hoyte's moving to Boro. They
need a reliable left back. David Wheater on the day was a bit on the poor side leaving Brad Jones
out to dry on a couple of occasions and looking very shaky on a couple more.
