UEFA Cup champs Zenit St. Petersburg just made the single biggest splash of the summer transfer window by putting down an insane €30m for one Danny Alves, also making him the first player to break the €30m mark this summer. I know what you're thinking: who the hell is this guy and why is he [...]

It didn't count, and it got him sent off for a second bookable offence. But Paul Schol's handball in the dying moments of Man Utd's 2-1 defeat to Zenit St Petersburg was still a might impressive effort. First of all it's bravely blatant.

A couple weeks ago Andrei Arshavin's agent went on a bit of a tirade, joining the masses suffering from skewed perception and labeled his client a "slave". We all know Andrei, just like Cristiano Ronaldo, is not a slave - it was simply agent speak, more commonly known as "bullshit" - but we didn't know [.

It's certainly been a busy summer at White Hart Lane this year as Juande Ramos begins to weed out the players he feels are holding Spurs back over the last few weeks and looks to bring in the kind of players he feels can bring more silverware Tottenham's way.

Andrei Arshavin, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafinha and Lionel Messi (since freed by his captors), is a slave. Held against his will by his rich vodka-drinking owners and forced to do unthinkable things like play football for millions of dollars and take cheesy glamour photos in a photo booth at a St. Petersburg mall.
