Varese beat Livorno 3-1 during a snow storm last weekend and both goalkeepers probably cried the
whole time. [YouTube]
Barnsley goalkeeper David Preece says it's the media keeping gay footballers in the closet.
The mystery surrounding the death of Wales coach Gary Speed unraveled somewhat today at the
official inquest.
While the coroner concluded there was not enough hard evidence to record a deliberate suicide,
instead of just a cry for help presumably, we did learn that Speed and his wife had been having
problems in their marriage and had rowed on the night he died.
Bloated Premier League squads need ballast and amid the burnt ends of Match of the Day episodes,
the fleeting few minutes of highlights from the KC, Molineux or DW Stadiums have been notable for
their late cameos from players unfamiliar – your Henrik Pedersens, Okelsandr Yevtushoks and
Itzhak Zohars – the men you feel yourself reaching for the Rothman's successor volume to run the
rule over, or, laptop on knees, Wikipedia.

One player sure to be high on everybody's list, Zat Knight that is
A few players have hithered and thithered about since the turn of the year but, after a fairly
dormant month on the transfer front and with only 385,589 precious seconds left until the January
window SLAMS SHUT is closed carefully and contentiously by the relevant
personnel, we impatient fools at Pies reckon it's high time to start making big things happen in
our minds.
When Eric Cantona of Manchester United did his amazing Kung-fu kick on an obnoxious Crystal Palace
supporter seventeen years ago this month, I was there. By chance I was also an eye-witness
thirty-five years earlier when United's goalkeeper Harry Gregg spectacularly whacked a spectator
at Luton Town in April, 1960, knocking him to the ground.
Another week spent dodging ever more dire warnings about the state of Scottish football.
This time everything's got a lot Grimmer with Aberdeen losing a lauded protégé to the mysterious
land of riches that some people call England.
Highly rated youngster leaves Aberdeen area to chance his arm in England?
In the most recent match-day programme Marcus Evans sent out a rare direct message to the
fans.
As inconsistent results continue into the New Year, our club balances just four points above the
Championship's relegation zone. So it's difficult, as a fan, not to feel concern for the direction
our club is going.
The once-formidable Anfield fortress now resembles a welcoming visitor centre. The sense of
overwhelming intimidation, so integral to Liverpool's success during their prime, is in danger of
becoming a memory.
It is revived for special occasions – no doubt the double header with the city of Manchester this
month will reawaken passions – but too many Premier League encounters have failed to raise beyond
the humdrum.

While die-hard U.S. men's national team fans probably already have the lowdown on young West Ham
United defender Dan Potts, the reaction to some tweets about the 17-year-old left back suggests
that not everybody is aware of the story behind the latest promising foreign-born prospect eligible
to play for the United States.

at Barnsley midfielder Jacob Butterfield. James McMath looks at why talk of a

So, West Ham unveiled their new mascot 'Hammerhead' before their 1-0 win over Barnsley at Upton
Park on Saturday...
Saints be praised, it looks like he's got a back story too:
"Foundered in the Thames Iron Works many decades ago, the workers who crafted a new champion
drew on the spirits of heroes old and new to create the ultimate goal machine.
Ipswich Town boss Paul Jewell must have feared the worse when he walked into the dressing room at
half-time during their game against Barnsley at Oakwell last Saturday.
His side was 2-0 down and staring down the barrel of an eight consecutive league defeat.
Incredibly, they hit five goals during the second half as they staged the most unlikely of
comebacks.
Saturday EPL on ESPN2: Manchester United - Wolverhampton at 10am. On Fox Soccer, Arsenal - Everton
at 9:30am, Norwich City - Newcastle at noon, and Bolton - Aston Villa at 5pm. Fox Soccer Plus has

What's this strange, unfamiliar feeling? Oh yeah... it's Barnsley winning!
Is there anything quite like the terror and horror of supporting a team who are on a losing run?
Actually, yes, there is: it is the terror and horror that comes with supporting a team who are on a
winning run.

Nile Ranger hopes he still has a future at Newcastle United. Nile Ranger - on loan at Barnsley for
two months Ranger joined Championship club Barnsley a couple of days ago on a two month

some goals too.

There have been some recent articles out suggesting that Huddersfield Town striker Jordan Rhodes
could be a Newcastle target. Jordan Rhodes are Newcastle really interested? The Oldham-born

Confessions of a Football Reporter...another Biggs at Large By Alan Biggs Published by Vertical
Editions, August 2011 £12.99 ISBN: 9781904091516 In the second of three book reviews we should be
publishing this week, we welcome back Ian Rands of A United View on Football. Ian was lucky enough
recently to secure an interview with football journalist Alan Biggs - the BBC's go-to guy for South
Cardiff City will have to wait and see whether or not they will have Kenny Miller available to them
for this week's Carling Cup clash against Burnley. The Scottish striker was forced from the field
during his side's 5-3 thrilling victory against Barnsley at the weekend with a head injury,
following an unfortunate collision with team-mate Ben Turner.
David Stockdale started and made 11 saves in Ipswich Town's 2-2 draw at
Cardiff on Saturday. On October 1 he started and made 7 saves in Ipswich's 3-1 win over
Brighton.
Bjorn Helge Riise did not dress in Portmouth's 2-0 win over Barnsley on

Exeter City 1-3 Liverpool | Carling Cup match report
This was another of those occasions that confirmed how much more comfortable life is under Kenny
Dalglish, Liverpool succeeding where they failed last year by overcoming lower-league opposition to
progress to the next round of the Carling Cup with the minimum of fuss.
It feels a bit like Groundhog day at the moment and it's not because I'm stuck in the Insurance
industry from 9 til 5 during the week. It is however because Stevenage have begun this season in a
very similar fashion to last year's campaign. A draw at home in the league has been followed by a
narrow defeat in the Carling Cup first round to Championship opposition.

Who's Looking Good?
Leicester: Having massively overhauled the squad during the summer, signing no
less than nine players, including the marquee signings of Kasper Schmeichel, David Nugent, Michael
Johnson, Neil Danns and Paul Konchesky should give the Foxes the quality needed to reach the
Premiership for the first time since 2002.
So, to round off a week of keen anticipation, here's one final plug for our joint preview with The
Seventy Two, a project that has been termed a "blogzine" by Bristol City's leading internet scribe,
Paul Binning aka The Exiled Robin. Beyond the introduction, we were treated to 24 elegant and pithy
summaries of those competing in Europe's fifth most popular league.

The phrase `yo-yo club' is well established in the football lexicon, but is there also such a thing
as a yo-yo player? While Michael Chopra himself might not reply in the affirmative, fans of
Sunderland probably would. It was, though, the subject of another recent transfer further down the
Football League, Paul Hayes, that brought the notion to mind.
This is not a transaction that I sought or contemplated but, if it is the only route to
guarantee a future for Plymouth Argyle Football Club, it is a route that I am prepared to take.
After seven months of claiming that he was a mere consultant to Plymouth Argyle Football Club,
of claiming that he was talking to (you guessed it) anonymous wealthy businessmen that were
interested in pouring money into a League One (now League Two) club, then, a property company has
been announced as the preferred bidder for the assets of the administration-struck Plymouth Argyle
and that they, of all of the 6.
Swindon Town's New (and Controversial) Boss
You couldn't ever accuse Swindon Town supporters of having little to talk about. The team has
pogoed around the divisions in the last twenty years (they were present in the second ever Premier
League season of 1993-4, and are at present the only former Premiership team to have been relegated
to the lowest league tier).

It's here, and it's not going unnoticed despite being surrounded by other events and
achievements gained by the club's more illustrious and decorated first team squad. There's a
certain hype about this year's FA Youth Cup final, nothing emphasised this more than the 24,000
tickets that had already been sold by Wednesday last week, Bramall Lane holds just shy of
33,000.
