Barcelona have finally given up on their tiki-taka football and will now force teams into submission through the medium of football kit torture. The Catalan giants have developed an away kit that is so gaudy that opponents will be rendered unable to look directly at it. The sunset-coloured strip has an orange to yellow gradient [.

We saw Barcelona's 2012/13 fuzzy striped home kit before it was officially released, so the real shocker of Tuesday's unveiling was the orange and yellow away kit. Sort of like staring at the sun after squirting alcohol into your eyes, the club's official website describes it as "a veritable array of vibrant colors to celebrate the team's dazzling football.

There were 13 players from the Primary Tier G14 power lobby teams one booking away from missing the Champions League Final.
Between them they accumulated 16 fouls and three players will miss the game in Munchen.

On May 16th 2009, we produced a post on which currently serving referee should take over running the referee's body, the PGMOB, when Keith Hackett retired that summer.
We suggested that, for an array of reasons suiting the powers-that-be, Mike Riley would be selected...
... and so he was.

In the brief period since Andre Villas-Boas's dismissal as Chelsea manager, there has already been an entertaining array of names floated in the press as potential replacements. First it was former Liverpool and Inter Milan boss Rafa Benitez. Then...

One of the vast array of stars we are supposed to be signing this summer, is Ajax central defender Jan Vertonghen. The Daily Mirror seem particularly keen on [.

There was hope the Portland Timbers could rebound from the crushing loss on March 31 versus Real Salk Lake at home, as they had Chivas USA visiting, another MLS club that was struggling to find their identity. After a first half of promise and a goal from Kris Boyd, the Timbers fell apart behind a lackluster performance and an array of physical challenges from Chivas USA that allowed them to dominate the second half in winning 2 to 1.

So for the second consecutive weekend we have no game and many like myself will be having withdrawal symptoms.

There were some interesting answers in yesterdays post so I will carry on with the theme .

After five straight wins on the bounce we are all finally bouyant about our team and if the momentum can be kept for the final ten games, third is a distinct possibility.

Amazingly enough, Footiebusiness is about to start its 4th year of covering the business of American soccer. It has been a great ride and one that I hope to continue to enjoy and improve. When I started the site, I had no idea how long it would last, whether there was any interest in the business aspects of American soccer or whether anyone would read what I wrote.

Kammy's costume change Soccer Saturday reporter Chris Kamara took advantage of the array of winter wear on display at QPR's match against Wolves at the weekend by wearing a different outfit each time presenter Jeff Stelling checked in with him. Explaining his prank, Kammy said: "I jokingly heard him tell one reporter wearing a hat [.

Former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is known for his prodigious attention to detail, and calm, detached approach to management, and in a recent interview, he provided a fascinating insight into how different sports have enhanced his own managerial qualities.Speaking to El Grafico, Benitez revealed he learned different things from an array of diverse sports:"Since I was little I have had

There were Americans aplenty featuring in the opening weekend of the 2012 Clausura. In all, seven saw action in an array of unsatisfying results.

[O]nce in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos Directed by Paul Crowder and John Dower, Miramax, 2006 This remarkably well put together movie conjures up an era when America seemed so much more exciting, so much more dazzling, so much more...ahead than the rest of the world. Its late seventies locus is New York and its subject the Cosmos, five times Soccer Bowl Champions and the club that inspired a famous T-shirt of the time that the sport was ‘just a kick in the grass'.

Shooting practice Football club calendars are usually a selection of 12 action shots of players fronted with a nice corporate cover (unless you're Bradford City, of course). But no so at Napoli. The Serie A outfit got their players to don an array of strange costumes as they shot their quirky 2012 calendar.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has responded to rumors linking the Gunners with French midfielder Yoann Gourcuff. Despite a dazzling array of skills, Wenger insists that he's not interested in signing Gourcuff in the January transfer window, and instead pointed to the return of some of his star players such as Jack Wilshere.

The United Nations x Shipwrecked Footballers?

Let Didier Drogba, Luis Figo, Ronaldo, Zizou and even Michael Ballack teach you about the Millennium Development Goals in a manner that I really hope, for everyone's sake, was intended to be overflowing with sarcasm. It's a 32-page comic teaching about the United Nations' MDGs set for 2015 through the form of top footballers being shipwrecked and having to deal with real life issues, like living a day without Sara Carbonero.

Arsenal (in the colloquial) means an array of weapons. I wish we had more than RvP banging them in, but it sounds about right to me.

Dortmund, on the other hand, to me* is a beer. I u-brewed a "Dortmunder" a few months ago. So, while beer is a powerful and beautiful thing, it is nothing compared to an array of weapons, right?

1. You can buy and rotate an array of the world's most expensive attackers, but it's more effective to have three who link-up as well as Cavani, Hamsik and Lavezzi do. 2. Sky Sports might have stumbled upon a great late night football format during the match in which Ray Wilkins translates Mario Balotelli's Italian [.

That Bantam's a Tiger Here's the Bradford City 2012 calendar: the perfect Christmas present for Bantams supporters. And Hull fans too, it would seem. A lazy designer has created a cover for the calendar that features an array of Bradford player, plus Hull City's Dele Adebola. The mix-up happened because the photo of Adebola [.
