This summer Nike will be sending one lucky competition winner to South Africa together with
Tinchy Stryder and Anton Ferdinand.
Who the hell is Tinchy Stryder? Why is Anton Ferdinand of all the people the face of Nike
Football during South Africa 2010?
It doesn't really matter.
The footage from that Chinese fan kung-fu kick has arrived. Sort of the Holy Trinity of football
fouls: horrible dive, horrible tackle, excellent fan interference.

With all of the Premier League clubs now knocked out of the Champions League – and Liverpool
and Fulham's stays in the Europa League are still up in the air at press time – all eyes now
focus on the two remaining pieces of silverware to be won this season.
The FA Cup and the Barclays Premier League title.
Anton Ferdinand makes an Arse(nal player) of himself Yesterday, I was busy hastily converting the
new OTP HQ into an exact replica of Stephen Ireland's mansion. If I hadn't have been, I would
instead have been bringing you this long-range comedy goal from Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas. A

Manchester United head to the Stadium of Light this afternoon to take on Sunderland who are
unbeaten in 12 home games. United were the last team to take three points from them on home soil
and Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping his players can produce a repeat of their 1-0 win back in
May.
Sunderland defender wanted by the law WANTED: FOR CRIMES AGAINST DEFENDING. Nah, not really.
Sunderland's Anton Ferdinand has had an arrest warrant issued against after he failed to appear in
court. The brother of England captain Rio could now be arrested and kept in custody if officers
track him down before he hands himself in.
Reports out of Italy link A.S. Bari sporting director Guido Angelozzi with speculative
transfer market targets Anton Ferdinand, a central defender at EPL side Sunderland, as well
as Inter Milan striker David Suazo, who is currently on loan at Genoa.

How good is good enough?
We keep reading how Jonathan Greening, Eddie Johnson and Stephen Kelly are 'not good enough'.
(At various times almost everyone in the squad has not been good enough, so there's no need for
these players to take it personally).
What is expected of them, though?
Sunderland have been a bit of a bete noire for Fulham at the Cottage in recent years. A 3-1 loss
in 2008 was the moment I gave up hope ahead of the miracle of the Great Escape. The following
season a 0-0 draw was one of the worst performances seen under Roy. Today was no classic but I
found it an engaging game with moments of great effort and endeavour indispersed with moments of
comedic failure.
The last few days haven't been entirely happy ones for West Ham United. Their win against
Birmingham City last week lifted them out of the relegation places, but they remain just one point
above the drop zone and earned themselves a lot of bad publicity from the decision to ask the
entire playing staff of the club to take a twenty-five per cent pay cut this summer, a decision
that was greeted with fury by manager Gianfranco Zola andwith derision in the press.
I am a bit under it, what with the tooth and all, so here is one of those annoying posts that
offers nothing much. Except to say that we did spend an awful long time on the Sunderland left
on Sunday. Picking on Anton Ferdinand perhaps?
In any case, Simon Davies played almost centrally, Gera was in with him, too.
After failing to score against a tired Fulham side on Sunday, Sunderland have now gone 14 games
without a win in the Premier League and are the only team in the division to have not won a league
match in 2010. Such damning statistics can only point to one thing: the manager.
I didn't think anyone could be as bad as resident caretaker Ricky Sbragia, but even the
experience and know-how of Steve Bruce is finding it difficult to get the supporters on his
side.
14 games without a Premiership win would be worrying for several sides, but when you've spent
the best part of £50 million to improve the team, 4 months without a win is disastrous. When Bruce
took the reigns at the Stadium of Light in the summer, the club had survived a dreadful season
which had seen Roy Keane walk out half way through and they limped to the final day staying up.
Never mind Saturday's match, the games I find myself looking ruefully back upon are those at
home to Stoke, Wolves and Hull, way back in the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Oh for
those eight points now...
Back to the Sunderland game, and something of a whimper with which to finish the five-game
winning streak.
The Easter weekend, combined with being ill, have conspired to delay me recording my thoughts on
Saturday's game, though in truth I didn't have much enthusiasm for the task.
Neither did Spurs. With half a team unavailable, including the entire first choice back four, it
wasn't a particular surprise that we looked out of sorts against Sunderland.
With West Ham's win over Wigan, the Hammers have ensured their survival in the Premiership. It
has been a difficult second year for manager Gianfranco Zola, from cracking the top ten in his
inaugural year to a must win against Wigan to keep continued representation in top flight.
The Icelandic banking crisis resulted in a ownership vaccuum as Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson gave way
to CB Holdings and then onto majority owners David Gold and David Sullivan.
Nine months of hard slog and this is what it's come down to. 18 of the 20 Premier League clubs have
fallen by the wayside leaving two heavyweights to slug it out with just one point separating
them...

Anton Ferdinand, who scored a 94th minute equaliser own goal at Old Trafford this season, has
admitted he wants United to win the title but will still give his all against us tomorrow.
"I want United to win the title, obviously," said Ferdinand. "I want my brother to
win another trophy.
Anton Ferdinand and Tinchy Stryder are flying to South Africa for the world's biggest football
tournament.But they need a football-in-your-soul, heart-on-your-sleeve blogger. An on-the-ball
insider with an eye for the story behind the match. Sound like anyone you know?
Rio's younger brother Anton Ferdinand looks like he might be given a lifeline out of Sunderland.
The defender has played a lot for Sunderland in his two-year spell, but Steve Bruce has signed
another four defenders this off season, leaving Ferdinand unsure of his future.
A loan deal could be the more likely option for Anton, and the former West Ham Utd defender could
be making his way to Serie A outfit Palermo.
"it's your boy Anton"...behave. He seems to think him and his boy Nigel have some stella
moves that need advertising, bruv...erm...
...NO. Here is Anton Ferdinand and Nigel Reo Coker's poor attempt at the Solja Boy crank.
This is more like it.
YES!

Fabio Capello has to sit through a lot of football matches before he decides who to pick for
England. But the Italian manager could save himself a lot of trouble if he just played the
Soccerlens Fantasy Football Game instead. I've looked at the stats, and picked an England team
according to which English players have averaged the most points per game during the first three
weeks of the Soccerlens Fantasy Football Game.
The Stadium of Light, there's a misnomer. Anyone who has had the misfortune to travel to
Sunderland away knows the drab, watery light that emanates from the cold North Sea and washes over
the industrial wasteland that is Sunderland. They will also know how we struggled at TSOL last
season, despite having 90% of the possession we got beaten by a late Darren Bent goal (plus ca
change, plus c'est la meme chose).
That game was many things, but uneventful wasn't one of them.
Before I get into all the individual incidents, I'll just say that all things considered, this
was a fair result. Yes, Phil Dowd screwed us not once but twice: (1) Song should not have been sent
off, and (2) the whistle maybe should have gone when the corner was cleared.
I know this morning there'll be a lot of folk still unhappy that the goal came in the 15th
second of the 5th minute of injury time despite on 4 being signalled. There'll be folks unhappy at
Phil Dowd for the sending off of Alex Song.
Pfff, I'm afraid we're going to to just have to live with stuff like that because it happens in
almost every game to almost every team.

Cesc Fabregas demonstrates his excellent first touch
Sunderland defender Anton Ferdinand has admitted that he is 'embarrassed' about
the goal his side conceded to Arsenal on Saturday, branding Cesc Fabregas'
fortuitous strike a 'freak goal'.

Back to the drawing board. Asamoah Gyan Doubtful For Liverpool Clash | Football/Soccer |
Peacefmonline.com Asamoah Gyan is a doubt for their English Premier League trip to Liverpool this
Saturday. Gyan scored on Tuesday night in the Black Cats 1-2 home defeat to West Ham to crash out
of the Carling Cup but limped out on the hour mark.

common?

As we have shown you before, footballers seem to think they are some kind of gangster or
a budding rapper. I think they all need their head shrinking....
Yes, now Ashley Cole wants to be a rapper. Maybe him Anton Ferdinand, Nigel Reo Coker and Ryan
Babel should start a rap band together.
