Southampton's 3-1 win over Liverpool last time out had the air of one that could come to be regarded as a season defining victory. A potentially challenging opponent deservedly vanquished to secure a vital three points in their battle against relegation. With a four point gap between them and the bottom three, the Saints have a genuine chance of getting out of this.
1. There's been a robbery in north London. It appears Tottenham might have stolen Arsenal's self-destruct button. 2. It wasn't all doom and gloom for Spurs. Yes, they lost to Liverpool but their old boys secured an important victory over Sunderland. 3. After his stunning strike against the Black Cats, Andros Townsend has earned the [.
Being unpredictable is so predictable for Arsenal. You just never know what you're going to get with this team once they take to the pitch. Their 1-1 draw in Southampton on New Year's Day was a prime example of this. They're basically consistently inconsistent and with the aid of an own goal and one which was disallowed they managed to remain unbeaten in their last five league games.
Hulk blasted an absolute rocket from the corner of the 18-yard box in the 7th minute of Porto's
win 3-2 win over Benfica, putting them atop the Portuguese Liga table and their O Classico rivals
on goal difference.
Hulk's shot was timed at 108 km/h (67 mph) and probably would've taken Benfica goalkeeper
Artur's (no relation to our friend Artur Boruc) arm clean off if he got a hand on it.

Central African Republic recorded a major upset by going to Egypt and winning 3-2 in an African
Cup of Nations qualifying match. But before that happened and while Egypt still led 2-1 early in
the second half, CAR goalkeeper Geoffrey Lembet went briefly insane.
Lembet was receiving treatment on the pitch and when the referee told him to go off so the
physio could continue to look him over, Lembet snapped.

The stealthy sound of a bicycle tyre on the tarmac of the road behind you can be a terrifying
sound. You know it means an imminent overtaking manoeuvre as you struggle on a gruelling uphill
stretch. Then the mind tells you that you need to respond but more often than not the body is
unable to do so.
Inter Milan took a toothless Fiorentina side apart on Saturday night to claim three valuable points
that see them move up to 11th in Serie A. Missing the likes of Javier Zanetti, Dejan Stankovic,
Diego Forlan and Wesley Sneijder through injury and suspension, Claudio Ranieri had to shuffle his
pack. Maicon, Yuto Nagatomo and Lucio came into the backline while Philippe Coutinho replaced
Ricky.

Four months after a Leeds fan hit Sheffield Wednesday's keeper in the face during a Championship match, the attacks of English football fans on goalkeepers continues, this time in League Two. During injury time of Wycombe's 1-0 win at Gillingham, a supporter invaded the pitch and jumped on Wycombe keeper Jordan Archer's back like he was trying to start a two-man mosh pit as Archer prepared to take a goal kick.

Coming off a disappointing 13th-place finish in Serie A last season and revamping the squad, new
Fiorentina manager is putting some structure into the lives of his players. And that means an end
to thigh tanning.

We all know that despite occasional lapses into normal behaviour, all of the above guys spend
more time operating on the outer fringes of the sanity scale than the rest of us.
Several of us had suspected that Spurs' transfer dealings involving goalkeepers weren't quite
over and there are rumours today linking two separate stoppers to the club.
Polish International Artur Boruc spent 5 years at Celtic before heading to Serie A with
Fiorentina. The keeper was originally battling with Sebastien Frey for the number one shirt but
stepped in after Frey's injury and made over 20 appearances.
