So little time has been given to the silent helpless victim of that horrendous offence committed
by Arsene Wenger that led to him being ordered to the stands. Today we reveal the identity of the
poor victim of the Old Trafford incident. (How the hell can a manager be sent off for kicking a
plastic container, insane)!
Today I'm reading an article at MLSnet.com about Dallas committing to what the writer called
"attacking" soccer. I like to call it "Soccer at warp speed".
Let me give you some background. Soccer was the only sport I played as a kid and I played like

There is no denying that Liverpool F.C. is the form team in the
Barclays Premier League at the moment. Rafa's Reds have defied
all odds to overcome a frustrating start to the campaign and surprisingly, the Steven
Gerrard - Fernando Torres pairing isn't exclusively responsible for leading the

Some moments are never meant to be forgotten. The entire world of football witnessed one such
shocking moment a little less than two years ago in London. On a rainy evening at

PFA chief Gordon Taylor has urged football fans, pundits, and the FA to put a stop to the lynch

and Liverpool, 3-0 and 4-0 respectively. Now, they have to defend their perfect record at home
against Sunderland, who come pumped and ready after thrashing Hull City 4-1 at home.
Antonio Cassano has reinvented himself. Not only has he changed his physical approach by losing
weight, he has changed his mental approach too, becoming not only more mature, but also a leader.
He is now someone who visits hospitals and gives signed shirts to sick children. He is now someone
who can carry a team on his back, provide assists for his teammates, and entertain the crowd.
Another week of Premiership action is now in the books, and Thursday means one thing: it's time
for the Thursday Throwdown from A to Z. Here we go...
A is for Anelka. Chelsea fans should be counting their lucky stars that both
Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba are in spectacular form.
A great majority of the football world has grown used to laughing off Arsene

Arsenal manager was largely ignored when he labeled the accusations over
Gunners striker Eduardo's recent "dive" against
Celtic as a "witch-hunt".
