Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp was cleared of tax evasion charges earlier today, and whilst that's great for him and Spurs, it could be bad news for Liverpool FC. The jury in the case - which was heard at Southwark Crown Court - delivered a unanimous verdict in favour of Redknapp and former Portsmouth Chairman Milan Mandaric, and afterwards, Redknapp blasted the decision to bring the

At last we hear that AVB has an angry side with his players aswell as the media!. Up till now we have only seen his angered response to some lines of questioning during pre or post match press conferences when speaking to the media or the written press. It seems as though he let the players see the exact same side after defeat to United on Sunday.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish stated yesterday that the club would not be buying or selling anyone during the January transfer window. For many fans, that was bad news, but I doubt it's actually true. I'm sure the club is working behind the scenes to try and bring someone in, and Wolves manager Mick McCarthy may have inadvertently confirmed that to be true.

The members of the U.S. Women's National Team didn't even have 24 hours to celebrate their CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Tournament Championship before they received some very bad news on Monday morning. That news amounted to what would be a pink slip for most of us. The WPS (Women's Professional Soccer (league)) announced Monday morning, they [.

Morning all.

We'd best start with the bad news this morning and that's Jack Wilshere. He's suffered a 'little setback' according to Arsene Wenger and although the manager was obviously trying to play it down a bit, saying he couldn't put a timeframe on it because Jack has to see consultants, the fear is that this could keep him out for at least 6-8 weeks, if not the rest of the season.

Some good and some bad news for Salomon Kalou today at the Africa Cup of Nations.

We'll start with the good, the real good. Kalou opened the scoring for Côte d'Ivoire in their 2-0 win against Burkina Faso tonight. Peep Sal's excellent volley in visual form below.

The volley was the cherry on the top of what was another fine performance from the rarely used Chelsea vet.

Gabriel Gomez was signed by the Philadelphia Union in late December. Last night was the first chance Philly fans have had to examine the versatile Panamanian.

In a 1-0 friendly loss to the United States, Gomez played as a calming link between Panama's back four and skittish front five.

The good news: He was fantastic.

OMG... Da playrz h8 me... Im a total ****... FFS!!! :(

We've all done it, had a few too many down the pub only to drunkenly text someone, usually an ex or someone we fancy. However, I doubt many of us have sent a late night text informing professional footballers that they had been dropped for the following day's game.

Mario Balotelli faces a potential 4-match ban (3 league games) for a stamp on Scott Parker in Manchester City's win over Tottenham on Sunday. While that's bad news for City fans, it's super news for fantasy managers / potential owners ... Continue reading →

Deepdale players discover they now need to be deep sleepers New Preston boss Graham Westley hasn't exactly endeared himself to some of his charges after sending a 2am text message that informed four players that they were being dropped. Westley sent the group text in the early hours of Saturday morning ahead of his side's [.

The Frank Lampard Appreciation Society offers another unique, unadulterated glimpse into the voyage of life of one tragic Monseur Lampeur.

It's funny how the clothes we wear reflect who we are, and I don't mean those t-shirts that the mentally handicapped wear and include the person's name, number, and address.

Bad news comes for the USWNT as star defender Ali Krieger will be sidelined for 6-8 months with tears in both her ACL and MCL. The injury occurred during the the first half the teams landslide victory against the Dominican Republic. After taking a shot on goal, Krieger was kicked hard in the knee when a DR player was trying to make a tackle.

Arsene Wenger had nothing but bad news for Arsenal fans ahead of the crucial match against Man Utd this weekend, well unless it can be considered good news that Fabianski will replace Almunia on the bench. There were hopes that Mikel Arteta and Thomas Vermaelen could get fit in time for the game, but Wenger [.

A 3-2 home to defeat to their bitter rivals might've been bad news for City players and fans, but it was brilliant fodder for our nefarious, non-partisan purposes. Image: Alex Livesey/Getty Images.

Some breaking news recently with Stewart Downing being arrested on suspicion of assault. Downing was arrested following an alleged incident with an ex-girlfriend in the early hours of Sunday morning. More bad news for Liverpool, who would be hoping to stay out of the headlines after the recent incidents at Anfield.

A comfortable scoreline and advancement to the next round of the FA Cup. Struggling players getting on the scoresheet. A good day, then. Even a great day. When absolutely nothing went wrong and no bad news came out...

* Luis Suarez served the second match of his eight-game ban, Andy Carroll scored, and Stewart Downing broke his 22-match scoring drought.

Couple of pieces I found on the web.

First, our friends at New England Soccer Today reports that Milton Caraglio has signed with a Chilean club, C. S. D. Rangers. Here is the link: http://nesoccertoday.com/?p=8201

This is a definite weakening of an area which was not a strong point last year.

In UFC 141, the fight everyone wanted to watch was Brock Lesnar versus Alistair Overeem. The fight ended up not being too impressive as Alistair Overeem dominated Brock Lesnar and won in the first round.

The biggest news came after the fight: Brock Lesnar retired. The 34-year-old said he's giving up MMA.

Which I'm sure is a massive relief to the players from Southern California, not to mention the fans. The 8 p.m. March 7 quarterfinal will be played at the Rogers Centre, which has a retractable roof. The bad news: the game will be played on artificial turf, but at least

Newcastle should have won this game, but if you don' take your chances you don't get the cigar - so to speak. The good news for Newcastle is that they pickled up their fifth clean sheet of the season this afternoon, after conceding seven goals in their last two games, but the bad news was they missed a number of [.

There has been a lot of news on Cheick Tiote in the last few weeks and whether he will leave Newcastle, and the midfielder is still only 50-50 for the game tomorrow against Swansea. Coloccini still only 50-50 for Saturday That's the bad news from Alan Pardew and surprisingly Fab Coloccini is also only 50-50, even after almost making the game [.

Amanda, Kirsten and Shana return to discuss the women's and men's College Cup finals and the end of the NCAA season. Since Amanda is a Duke fan, you can probably guess how discussion of UNC winning a trophy went. But at least before that, they get to discuss Duke and Stanford and a much more satisfying women's College Cup.

It is a tournament that receives much criticism given its awkward timing and relative unimportance, but I guess the World Club Championship has lost a whole heap more supporters following Barcelona's game with Al-Sadd.
Not that is was anything to do with Barca's Qatari opponents, who worked diligently to try and contain the European Champions.

I had so much fun writing this.

We start today with the very bad news that our favorite Brazilian, Andre Santos, will be out for at least 3 months due to required surgery on his right ankle. As you all know, he suffered this injury during our CL dead-rubber against Olympiakos- an unfortunate injury that could have been prevented.

Morning all.

Last night Chelsea beat Man City. Not with iron bars, sadly. If it were up to me teams I didn't like (which is all of them) would be sent onto the pitch carrying clubs and planks with nails sticking out of them and told to have at each other. The team with most men left standing at the end gets the three points.

There has been some bad news today, not only is Andre Santos out for around three months as he requires surgery for his ankle injury, but it has been announced that the fat blind walrus who also goes by the name of Phil Dowd is to officiate our game away to Manchester City this weekend.The above video sums up how many of us felt as Dowd threw our game away to Newcastle last season.

Demoralised Manchester United fans had feared the worst after their captain, Nemanja Vidic, was stretchered off during that disastrous Champions League exit in Basel during the week. And now, those fears have been realised, with Sir Alex Ferguson revealing that the Serbian centre-half would miss the rest of the season with knee ligament damage.

Following recent statement regarding Nemanja Vidic's injury status which previously arrived from the player's agent, Manchester United's manger, Sir Alex Ferguson has now confirmed that the Serbian international won't be available for the rest of this season.

Fergie revealed that the situation has actually been predicted by United's medical team, stating that the player will immediately see a specialist and get an operation once the swollen on the knee gets better.

Danny Guthrie has come in for Cheick Tiote since the Ivorian last played on 22nd October at home to Wigan. Danny Guthrie has a good game against Chelsea But the bad news yesterday is now Guthrie himself is out anywhere from four to six weeks, and with Tiote missing tomorrow's game also, it will be a chance for [.

More bad news for Man United as Nemanja Vidic's agent says the United captain has ruptured cruciate knee ligaments. Sir Alex Ferguson said after the game his captain had suffered ligament damage, but hoped the damage was not too serious.

Group A
Manchester City vs Bayern Munich from the Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Arguably the hardest group on paper when the groups were drawn, the visiting Bavarians may have thought they'd have a harder time in this section, but already on 13 points and undefeated, they've already wrapped up the group.

Michael Vick's injury woes continue. For fantasy football owners and Philadelphia Eagles fans, we have more bad news: Michel Vick is out for Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Michael Vick will miss his third straight game due to broken ribs. Vince Young, who threw for a career-high 400 yards last week against the New England Patriots, will start once again.

Some potential bad news this morning on Fabricio Coloccini. Coloccini - back spasm causing concern In an area where Newcastle have very scant cover, it is being reported this morning that the Argentine International has suffered a back spasm, and that is threatening to rule him out of the Old Trafford game this afternoon.

Morning all,

with the job well and truly done in Europe the attention can now turn back to the Premier League and tomorrow's game against Fulham. The early team news is that we don't appear to have lost anyone after the game against Dortmund. Koscielny's withdrawal was due to 'fatigue' and beyond the short and long-termers there's nothing new to report on that front, which is good to hear.
