Is Ashley Cole the dumbest man on the planet. Fresh from England's disastrous World Cup campaign in South Africa you would think this guy would lie low and keep his mouth shut, but no Ashley Cole goes out of his way to irritate the English people further, some of which have stood by him through thick and thin.

After Carlos Tevez signed for Manchester City the club bizarrely opted to put a 'Welcome to Manchester' poster up in town as a dig to Manchester United fans. It was a strange move for a football club to hire a London design agency and fork out loads of money just so they could wind up opposing fans.

Yes, another reaction to the news that Charlie Davies won't be part of the 2010 World Cup, even in the run up. The visceral response to the news, expressed as both anger and frustration by many...

Mmm, that is about as good as a modern kit with a sponsor's logo gets. It almost makes me jealous of Arsenal fans who get to wear it. Almost.

The PR eco waffle: "Every shirt is made entirely from recycled polyester, crafted from up to eight plastic water bottles as part of Nike's ‘Considered Design' programme, which sees discarded plastic bottles diverted from landfills to be used in the manufacturing process.

Charlie Davies isn't happy about having missed out on the U.S. national team preliminary World Cup roster and he's placing the blame for missing the United States World Cup training camp squarely on his club team's handling of his situation.

Davies spoke with a national French radio program on Wednesday and slammed FC Sochaux president Alexandre Lacombe for his actions, saying Sochaux kept him from joining the U.

Look at him. He's one of those referees who likes to make himself the centre of attention. Yes, this is Carlos Simon and he is in charge of England vs Unites States. Expect him to do something that will anger or annoy the entire country.

Watch his insanely smile whilst giving poor little Teddy Lucic a red card

I have a sneaky feeling that John Terry may get similar treatment, but that could be because I am an extreme pessimist.

Sport culture seems to be the one discursive space in which we can declare that we were robbed, that our team was cheated, that the game wasn't fair - and we don't come off as bitter or resentful. This sort of anger - at being kept out of the World Cup final's by someone's handball, or being cheated of the three points awarded to a win by a rogue referee - is perfectly allowed - a certain sense of injustice is in fact nursed into an art.

So it's finally happened and I just do not know how what to do with myself. On one hand my team is signing bad-badasses like Thierry Henry and Rafa Marquez but on the other hand it Rafa cotdamn Marquez. RBNY could use his talent (especially after this weekend's lax defending) and his marquee value for sure but how the hell am I, a true-blue Yanks supporter, supposed to root for Rafa f***ing Marquez?

Stuart James writes in the Guardian that Stephen Ireland, who joined Aston Villa this week as part of the deal that took James Milner in the opposite direction, tore into everyone, from the manager Roberto Mancini to the club's "money-obsessed" young players, as he revealed the full extent of his anger at the way he has been treated.

Let's be clear about this. We didn't deserve to win this game. But, equally, we didn't deserve to lose.

And what struck me most about the game was what a pathetic bunch of cheating babies the United players are.

More about that in a moment, but first a word for Howard Webb:

In recent weeks AC Milan's black-belted striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has punted teammate Rodney Strasser square in the ribs during training and instigated a neck-grabbing training-ground dust up with teammate Oguchi Onyewu after going in needlessly hard on the hefty American defender on his return from injury.

A furious England fan breached security following the team's disappointing 0-0 draw against Algeria on Friday and broke into the team's dressing room to make sure the players knew exactly how he felt. According to reports, the fan barged into the England dressing room as several players were changing and let those present - including injured Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder David Beckham - have a piece of his mind.

Within the last 12 months, you've done a lot to enhance your product and the growth of the game. The launch of the HD channel and Fox Soccer Plus, while not by any means perfect, have been a major plus. The announcement of the new Fox Soccer Tonight program is another good step for the network.

You'll remember that extra kick Thierry Henry gave the ball last week, resulting in Kevin Hartmann writhing in pain on the ground. The verdict came down and he was not suspended, but rather fined what for him is a relatively insignificant amount, much to the anger of many in the Dallas camp (peripheral camp, anyway).

Yesterday Sir Alex Ferguson had his say, today it was Wayne Rooney.

In what is sure to add extra fire to the anger towards the Glazer ownership of Manchester United, Rooney released a statement saying it was the future direction of the team that is the reason behind his decision.

Perhaps it's obvious that today was not a successful day for posting news here at Kickette Towers.

Never mind, we've got a lorryload of hot boys in suits doing good deeds at the First Annual gala of Champions for Children Foundation in Milan last night.

Ever felt like you wanted a refund after watching your team get beaten bad? You spent your hard earned money on those tickets, wasted your valuable time on the game, and lost your voice screaming in futility as your side got stomped on. You deserve a refund, and in a perfect world you would.

Different match, same scoreline, same outcome. I took as long as I can to write this review of the game as I want to remove myself of any anger-induced comments. However this time it can't go away. We were admittedly poor last night. Not here nor there. A United side that came to the Grove [...]

Or at least a cult.

My last two posts have undoubtedly been emotional. It's been over 48 hours since the horrific injury to Aaron Ramsey and despite that fact I still feel the same way.
I'm still seething.
Despite the anger I have overlooked an important fact in this whole situation and I believe it needs to be addressed.

Firstly, many thanks to the thousands of you that read yesterdays article and to the small minority who left comments.
Secondly, i very rarely write response pieces to articles i write, but after reviewing how many individuals have got their proverbial knickers in a twist about my critical approach to Mr Arsene Wenger, i thought id clear a few things up.

CARLOS TEVEZ EXCLUSIVE:

The Manchester City striker on football, family and foes...
EXCLUSIVE By Lee Clayton

Welcome to Manchester? Carlos Tevez was already there, swapping the red corner for the blue corner last summer.

There was a mixture of disbelief, anger and pure frustration in my veins on Sunday. Having had some time to reflect I feel we have learnt a lot about our players in recent weeks, some things learnt have been good, others not, what is clear is that we do seem to have a clearer picture of what we lack and what we need for next season.

No, you're not looking at Clash of the Interistis .. but for the love of Materazzi, welcoming Inter from Barcelona was such a grand affair! Today, I consoled a Barca chica who declared :"We fought to the end" and then you could see the anger creeping up in her and quickly decided it was best to consult the dandelions instead.

Salford born Phil Bardsley joined Manchester United's academy when he was 8-years-old. Before leaving Old Trafford in 2008, he was the only player in the first team squad who had progressed through all the levels of our academy.

He was brought up near our old training ground, The Cliff, and used to go there during the school holidays to watch his idols train.

Hear me out.

More and more often we are seeing these expressions of anger, sadness, despair...

This team is not good enough, the foundations are there, the talent is there, but the application, passion, desire, determination is all not there.

Yes please!

South Africa's World Cup organising chief Danny Jordaan may ban vuvuzelas from inside stadiums after complaints from broadcasters and supporters.

You have all heard them in every minute of every match so far during this World Cup. On a website informing visitors about South Africa, www.safrica.info, describes the vuvuzelas as "a beautiful noise for the beautiful game." It seems that they are one of very few that agree with that statement after less than a week of matches.

... As tempted as I was to write about the US-Slovenia match in the moments after it finished, I decided it would be better to wait until now and the regular nightly World Cup recap. Anything I wrote in the wake of the conclusion to that match would have been unprofessional, too emotionally driven to make sense, and wouldn't have had the quality required to post here.

Wazza gets angry with supporters Wayne Rooney vented his anger at booing England supporters as he left the pitch following last night's disappointing 0-0 draw with Algeria. Rooney and his England team-mates were booed off the pitch after the awful performance. But the Manchester United striker took exception to the treatment and said into a nearby camera: [.

The French National Team players refused to participate in today's practice, and issued the statement below explaining why:

With this statement, all players of French National Team, without exception, assert their opposition to the decision taken by the French Football Federation to exclude Nicolas Anelka from the squad.

The Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has found it hard to conceal his anger at being left on the bench for Spain, while his (future) Barcelona midfield team-mates, Iniesta, and Xavi have made the starting line-up as usual. "I will not say, 'I'm angry or I don't care about not playing'," Fabregas told Sky Sports.

Make way for the Oranje and the Samba Kings in the World Cup quarterfinals. The Netherlands and Brazil advanced comfortably Monday, while anger simmered over refereeing blunders and FIFA's refusal to adopt video technology to eliminate them. Brazil brushed aside Chile 3-0 at Ellis Park as it pushes for a sixth title, while the Netherlands eased into the last eight with a 2-1 win against.

Well, Kickettes. There's a first time for everything.

Seeing Aitor Ocio training on the beach in Isla Canela has actually created a new emotion within our minds, hearts and loins: anger-lust.

These photos make us mad.

Really it can't get worse.

France 0-1 Belarus in the Stade de France.

I'm not going to talk about tactics or players. My testosterone is balled up in a fit of anger.

I have been writing a lot for the France WCB lately, but my consistency may cease a little. Not because of this, but because I am moving to Auxerre, France next week, wish me luck!
