With only a couple of weeks to go until the 20,000+ Green Army leaves home shores for Euro 2012, it would seem that we have as many Ireland Euro 2012 songs as we have travelling fans.
Some are great, some are decent & some are...well...different!

Your gambling addiction is a serious problem. Savings. Car payments. Rent. Cash flows through your soon-to-close bank account like a raging river. However, there's still hope. All you need is one really really big win to leap back into the red (and not get your knee caps broken). How can you accomplish this feat?

Real Madrid celebrated their 32nd La Liga trophy in the grandest way possible last night glamour, fireworks, white confetti and an opera show! You know it isn't a Madrid party unless Placido Domingo proudly belts out the Madrid anthem in a Los Blancos jersey and the Three Portuguese Musketeers get onto the microphone.

The bar for European Championships theme songs was set extraordinarily low with Shaggy's Euro 2008 anthem 'Like a Superstar', which is good news for Poland and their Euro 2012 ditty 'Koko Euro Spoko'.

The Poles were given the right to choose their Euro 2012 song on an X Factor-style TV show on Wednesday night.

After being put to a public vote, the good people of Poland have decided that this will be their country's official anthem for Euro 2012: 'Koko Euro Spoko' by a group called Jarzebina, who as will become abundantly clear are a group of older Polish ladies dressed up as nuns.

As you probably weren't aware, Witton Albion downed Farsley in the play-off semi-final of the Evo-Stik NPL Division One North on Tuesday evening winning 3-0 to put themselves within one game of returning to the Northern Premier League's top tier for the first time in three years.

Turns out that the thing to fill the late-season gaps in the schedule is producing club-sponsored music videos. This one's a little less standard than PSG's recording of their anthem, what with being a ripoff of a pop track and all. Plus there are Furries. Or what look to be, anyway.

There is not enough time to discuss the delightful "coincidence" of Christoph Daum being their coach, either.

While traditionalists might blast Pachelbel's Cannon on the day of their nuptials, this bride satiated her groom-to-be's love of the beautiful game by organizing a surprise rendition of the Champions League anthem.

She doesn't realize it now, but this is probably the last time she'll have his attention on a Saturday afternoon until the summer.

The Timbers betting game is back for 2012. We're starting everyone over with a fresh balance of $20, even last season's winner @TheMikeDonovan.

Here's a little refresher on the rules:

The Rules
-Everyone gets $20 in monopoly money each week to bet with, as long as you play.

I initiated contact with Georg Süss who writes for AIKBloggen.se to continue the tradition of answering questions for the upcoming match. Geoff and Ryan were kind enough to let me ask the questions.

The answers are fantastic. I asked a mixture of the usual report on the team but also asked about the organization, its history and traditions.

Those canny devils over at Umbro have just launched their 'Icons Reissued' collection, which sees them reproducing a small gaggle of premium stitch-for-stitch replicas of some of the brand's most classic designs from yesteryear.

You'll be glad to know that Pies have been able to nab a few photos of the new range from the folk over at Umbro, which contains but four vintage items starting with Sir Alf Ramsey's iconic England 1966 World Cup Anthem Jacket.

Los juegos olímpicos de México 1968 fueron de los mejores en cuanto diseño grafico, todo mundo recuerda el estilo futurista; esa hermosa tipografia que causo furor en su tiempo y que se mantiene vigente como simbolo de modernidad.
Pues me encontrado por la web este vestido que se mostro en el Queens Art Museum de la ciudad de México.

Thierry Henry has all but completed his two-month loan move back to Arsenal after photos of the French striker wearing the new Arsenal shirt were released. The Gunners legend will spend two-months on loan with his former club and is even expected to feature in Arsenal's FA Cup third-round tie with Leeds United at the [.

This is simply brilliant. From Talksport:

Samir Nasri has hit back at critics of his mega-money move to Man City by blasting Arsenal for failing to provide the Europa League football he craved.

Nasri, who was criticised by Arsenal fans and labelled a mercenary when he left for Man City in the summer, feels vindicated following the 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich that helped Man City finish ten points above Villarreal to qualify for the Europa League's last 32.

Make YNWA top of the pops

Liverpool legend Ian Rush believes that despite coming up against the Premier League's richest club on Sunday, the Reds remain by fair the wealthiest when it comes to history and tradition.
Manchester City lead the way in the Premier League having gone 12 games unbeaten, and proved their title credentials with a shock 6-1 win over reigning champions Manchester United in August.

Management Update from the New York Cosmos

November 2, 2011 (New York, NY) - There has been a buyout at The New York Cosmos and management changes have taken place in various areas of our organization.

Remember Afroman's "Because I Got High"? Much like Alanis Morrisette's "You Outta Know" it was one of those rare late 90s/early 2000s pop songs that managed to sneak a blatant oral sex reference onto America's most mom-approved radio stations. Subsequently, many of us experienced that awkward moment where you are in a small confined space (i.

Here is just a quick thought to keep us going as frankly, we all wait for tomorrow.

In two hours Wales boot off against France, and just before the starting gun sounds, we will hear the whole of Wales joining in a round of "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau", or to some "Land of our Fathers", and what a rallying anthem it is.

Presenting: Umbro's swish new Peter Saville-designed Special Edition Away kit range, a modified version of the current strip which sees a couple of subtle changes made to the badge and the collar with Saville's 'Modern England' design (the interlocked St George's crosses) cut-and-pasted from the 'eye-catching' goalkeeper's jersey and the Three Lions rendered in monotone navy.

Why foreign dishes are a recipe for saving Britain's pubs and there must have been a misprint on Joorabchian's conference invite

So, European courts looked at the issue of pubs showing Premier League games beamed in from abroad and acted appropriately. Like visible studs in a tackle and a striker's advantage in an off-side situation, no one ­understands the ruling.

The result, in the end, was something approaching an honorable draw, which both sides of this particular argument will now likely try to claim as a victory. The Premier League vs Karen Murphy had gone to the European Court of Justice to try and determine how the concept of a single European market weighs up against the country by country rights selling system which, amongst many, many others, the Premier League uses to sell coverage of its matches.

Cue the Heineken commercials, the unmistakable anthem, and the goosebumps the Champions League is here again. To be Manchester United is to be a perennial favorite in the competition, and that's no different this season, as United eye a fourth final in five seasons. And the first stop on the journey to next May's [.

Can Modric and Cahill find motivation after big moves broke down?

It might just be worth monitoring the events at Molineux and, a few hours later, at The Reebok Stadium on Saturday. And in particular, the performances of Luka Modric for Tottenham against Wolves and Bolton's Gary Cahill against Manchester United.
