Another gay icon captains England Following in the wake of David Beckham, apparently the England
women's side now has a gay icon wearing the armband. Kelly Smith has been voted "the most
lesbilicious UK sportswoman" in a poll by lesbian website Lesbilicious Smith picked up 31 per
cent of the vote, putting her just ahead of Dame [.
Okay, can somebody just beat Barcelona please? We're tired of putting them at the top of this list
every week. Though frankly even if they do lose again this season, it will likely not be enough to
remove them from the top spot. But at least you're left to wonder about places 2-25, right?
1 (1).
Animated GIF of Wilshere scoring a wonder goal. Oh man, I had a good sleep in today: I hit the
snooze button twice! So while I normally get up at 4:30, I got up at 5:30. I'm not complaining
though, the reason I slept in was because I got up at 1:30 the day before to [...]
Usually I'm not one to look forward to Monday, but the start of a new week during transfer season
usually means that there's plenty to talk about. Jermain Defoe has dominated the roundups recently,
but now that he's finally being sold (you can guess where), we'll have to find a new flavor of the
[.
FIFA, ever one to throw the middle finger to convention (See: World Cup 2010), has named their
players to watch in 2009 and done so by listing 13 players, clearly damning them all to a year of
unfortunate suckitude. It is, as one would expect, mostly a bunch of young prodigies and players on
the cusp [.
It's a somewhat quiet day in transfer news and rumors, but there are still several tidbits to
report on from multiple leagues. England Talks between Carlos Tevez and Manchester United over a
permanent deal are reportedly at a stalemate due to Tevez's demands for £120k a week.
Analysis: The deal will get done, simple [.
Oh, the surprises that are in store! No, I'm not talking about the FA Cup third round, but the
January transfer window. The window's started, and soon, a flurry of footballers will be flying in
and out to new destinations. How many of them will end up at Manchester City? Well, at least [...]
Gunner wants to prove he's the Prem's best arrow thrower Darts fanatic Robin Van Persie spent his
Sunday cheering on compatriot Raymond Van Barneveld in the PDC World Championship. The Arsenal star
was at the Alexandra Palace to watch his fellow Dutchman get thrashed by Phil Taylor. But that
didn't stop Van Persie throwing down the [.
Just as quickly as the week started, Wednesday's already here, and there's plenty of transfer news
and rumors to report on, including the latest on Andrei Arshavin's potential move to Arsenal.
England It seems to be only a matter of time before the Arsh joins the Arse. Zenit St. Petersburg
are confident about the [.
Sunday might be a rest day for many, but it's anything but a slow day in transfer news and rumors.
We've got the latest on Andrei Arshavin, Craig Bellamy, Stewart Downing, and many others,
well-known and not so much...yet at least. England Arsenal are set to increase their bid for Andrei
Arshavin to £12m [.
For any of you finance gurus out there, I'm sure Equifax is a name you're extremely familiar with.
For the rest of you, Equifax is the company that is largely responsible for compiling credit scores
of both individuals and now Premiership clubs. After a recent review by Equifax, it was declared
that 50% of the clubs in the Premier League are "insolvent.
IRELAND IS TOP GUNNER Full Article ARSENE WENGER has made Manchester City star Stephen Ireland his
main transfer window target. The Gunners boss has virtually accepted defeat in his bid to sign
Everton's Mikel Arteta and has turned his attention to in-form Ireland. James thinks ... Well now
here's a player I personally like and he falls in [.
After all those years in sunny southern California, Landon Donovan may have forgotten just how cold
and snowy it can be when German football enters orange ball season. If practicing all week in the
cold and blowing snow wasn't enough top remind him, playing the second half of a friendly today at
Regionalliga side Eintracht Bamberg should have done the trick.
With the focus on football today, it's a relatively slow day in transfer news and rumors, but I've
managed to scrounge up many of the day's best bits, including the latest on Kaka and Manchester
City's other potential dealings. England Kaka is going to seal his £108m move to Manchester
City next week.
Sunday is normally one of the slower days when it comes to transfer news and rumors, and while it's
not coming thick and fast today, there's still plenty to talk about. Manchester City are expected
to sign Hamburg SV's Nigel de Jong for £15m (Daily Mail) and Craig Bellamy for £14m, but
Real Madrid may be [.
Finally, the transfer deals are starting to come through in bunches. Am I just getting my hopes up
that I'll have a lot more of these to talk about over the rest of the window, or is this is a sign
of things to come? England Could Andrei Arshavin buy out his contract to make his [...]
American Sal Zizzo made a rare appearance for Hannover 96 in last night's friendly
against visiting AC Milan. The Bundesliga side put in a surprisingly strong performance against the
star-studded Milan team, especially on defense, but was unable to hold off the Rossoneri for
good.
With his team down 2-1 in the second half, Zizzo came on in the 66th minute, replacing Jan
Rosenthal at right midfield where he immediately got into the mix.
If you live stateside and need a bigger Prem football fix without upgrading your cable, this could
be music to your ears. If you live stateside and feel like you get enough of your EPL fix during
Champions League matchdays, then get ready to pony up for GolTV to even things out. ESPN is
reportedly [.
It's a Sign Arsene Wenger signed his first player of the transfer window when 17 year old Jack
Wilshere agreed to professional terms yesterday. I feel better knowing that Wilshere agreed to
terms because in 10 years he might be one of the greatest players ever. And I'm not the only one
who thinks that, Wenger [.
We're edging towards the final week of the January transfer window, and while you'll likely hear
more about a few new signings tomorrow, Sundays seem to be set aside for speculation from the
tabloids. England Manchester City are prepared to offer £70m plus either Jo or Elano for
Valencia's David Villa in the summer.
Unas lagunas en el contrato del extremo inglés del Arsenal dejarían el traspaso del joven
futbolista en tan sólo 418.732 euros. El interés de los grandes clubes no se ha hecho
esperar y Chelsea, Real Madrid y Manchester City ya preguntado por la situación actual de
Walcott. Así lo publica el diario inglés 'The Mirror' [.
Forbes released its list of the world's 10 most valuable sports "franchises" (in quotes
because I've never liked that word) last week. It's mostly American teams - six from NFL, plus the
Yankees - but there are three European soccer teams in there too: Man Utd, Real Madrid and..
Arsenal? Yep. Despite the fact that they [.
Happy New Year! We're back and better than ever. Not all leagues played over the last fortnight but
enough did to allow us to put together another edition of the always-popular Top 25! Read on to see
how things transpired:
1 (1). FC Barcelona
A strong finish earned Barca a 3-1 victory over Mallorca Saturday, their only game in the last
fortnight.
Ah January, January, January... It's a cold, wet and basically horrible month, but we do get
treated to a bit of transfer action and I'm going to have a brief look at the early completed ones
and rumours too see who's doing the best business. Probably best to start with the 'big
boys'. One thing that [.

After confirmation from his agent that Arsene Wenger "likes the look of the player," it
is now official that Arsenal are in talks with Zenit St. Petersburg over the transfer of Andrei
Arshavin. A Zenit official said: We have been in discussion with Arsenal now for some time. They
are hoping that a deal will be [.
It's on like Donkey Kong! With the Italian Serie A returning to action this weekend, all three of
the "big three" leagues are now accounted for in 2009. Where does that leave things?
Let's take a look:
1 (1). FC Barcelona
It wasn't pretty but Barca got all three points at Osasuna yesterday, coming from behind to win the
game through a goal by Lionel Messi (who else?
In case you hadn't heard or read already, Manchester City have failed in their bid to sign Kaka
from AC Milan. However, the January transfer window has not come to a stop, and there's plenty to
talk about in today's roundup of transfer news and rumors. Spain Though Kaka has turned down City
(or [.
GUNNING FOR BATTAGLIA Full Article ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger is to step up his bid to sign Boca
Juniors hardman Sebastian Battaglia. The £4million-rated Argentine midfield ace, 28, voted
Boca's best player in a poll, is a ball winner and just the man to perk up the Gunners midfield.
His agent confirmed interest from a London club, [.
It's starting to get down to crunch time for sides looking to add the necessary reinforcements to
their squads with races for titles, European places, and survival in mind. Of course, every signing
this month isn't just about 'the now,' so make sure you watch this space daily so that you can say
you [.
A Great Win But Come On Folks - Not Even 10,000 Fans In The Stadium?
Sacha Kljestan scored the 11th hat trick ever for the U.S. Men's National Team Saturday evening to
earn a 3-2 victory against Sweden to open their 2009 campaign at The Home Depot Center in Carson,
Calif. If any club was on the fence about signing him, last night's performance should have
his agent's phone burning with calls.
Today's transfer roundup isn't light on the latest news and rumors about who definitely will be
headed to new clubs and who could be in the near (or distant) future. England Manchester City have
opened the bidding for Newcastle keeper Shay Given, tabling an offer of £8m for the Irishman.
(Daily Mail) Analysis: Newcastle might [.
With action on the pitch dominating the sports pages today, there's not a lot of transfer news and
rumors to report on, but we still have a few tidbits for you to tide you over until tomorrow..
England Tottenham have offered Darren Bent plus £6m to Sunderland for striker Kenwyne Jones.
(Daily Mail) Analysis: Is [.
In: Shay Given - Newcastle United - No interest in keeper from Arsenal Mikel Arteta - Everton -
Wenger hasn't made a move for midfielder Andrei Arshavin - Zenit St Petersburg - Nothing new to see
here Out: William Gallas...
In the summer of 2007, Arsenal launched in a blaze of glory their new away kit. A shirt that
grew on fans, a white top, and currant shorts in deference to the 1930s. A roaring trade was
made by the club at its club shops. In the summer of 2008, it was a new away kit, [...]
The clock is tick-tick-ticking, and the end of the January transfer window is one day closer. If
you haven't signed that top target by now, you need to get a move on, because just like the month
has flown by, Monday evening will be here before you know it. With the futures of [...]
Second half highlights to follow shortly.
The gushing over Barca continues, only this one isn't limited to their current world crushing
squad, it's for their run of the last 17 years - apparently that's when IFFHS began using
statistics, which makes this so much more official. And, like their current domestic campaign,
they've done it with a hefty cushion between themselves [.
In: Pape Diakhate - Dynamo Kiev - Impressed in Champions League Mikel Arteta - Everton - Not the
midfielder on Merseyside some expect Andrei Arshavin - Zenit St Petersburg - Might take a pay cut
Out: William Gallas - AC...
I think we should be more than happy with today's result as such matches are not as easy as the
paper tells, just look at Chelsea and Manchester City. However, there are still one or two things
which just ain't right in our team. With more than fifteen goal opportunities, it could have easily
ended 5-1 [.
