First there was Joe Jordan Facts. Then there were the Scott Parker Facts. Then Danny Rose posted

The beast from the North East
Prologue: Salvador, up in northern Brazil, is so unlike Rio and Sao Paulo, the rest of the
country refers to Bahiaians rudely as "slow". As I trudged through the late afternoon sun looking
for the Newcastle Man Utd game, it struck me that the heat may have something to do with it.
The Philadelphia Union announced on Wednesday that they have signed Panamanian international
Gabriel "Gavilan" Gomez.
The press release says "the central midfielder will be eligible to join the Union upon receiving
his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate. Per MLS and Club policy, terms of the
agreements were not disclosed.
"The measure of greatness is not how many you win, but how you react to defeat". Or something
along those lines. In fact, AANP may have invented that just now.
Anyway, the point is that the epithet has been fairly redundant for as far back as I can
remember, as we would generally fail to win in the first place, and then react to defeat with
another defeat, or a two-goal lead thrown away late on, or whatever.
Most of us have been quietly, and painfully, waiting for the day when Barcelona shows up at
Cobham with a few million euro and trudges back to Catalonia with a monster of a holding midfielder
named Oriol Romeu in its pocket. As it happens, that's probably not going to happen. Not unless
Chelsea loses its mind in the near future that is.

Porto's Brazilian beast Hulk has been targeted by Wenger as a new powerhouse up front. Now called
up into his country's full squad, the striker has been in decent form yet again this season with 3
goals from 6 games already. However, is the Portuguese league big enough to prove that he is good
enough [.
Some notes on the game that recently end:
- What a win for the Philadelphia Union. Ignore the fact that the Seattle Sounders were missing
three of their best players, including striker Freddy Montero. Seattle needed this win to stay in
the Supporters Shield hunt, coming off of a third straight United States Open Cup (USOC)
victory.
1. Find Abou Diaby
He's gone missing. Injurepol have been alerted but there is still no sign of our
no-minutes-on-the-pitch midfielder. If spotted, feel free to approach him. He's completely
harmless.
2. Avoid what Denilson's been drinking
Six appearances for Sao Paolo, three red cards.
It hasn't always been about the Champions League and domestic doubles for Chelsea Football Club.
The club's saga over its ownership of Stamford Bridge was at a time during which it had nothing
like the status that it has today one of the ongoing crisis stories of the 1980s, but the club was
(after the collapse of Marler Estates in 1992) reunited with the freehold to the ground and
subsequently set up the Chelsea Pitch Owners, a non-profit organisation which took ownership of
this freehold and the name of the club, and granted it a 199-year lease on Stamford Bridge, which
secured the club's future even though the ground stands on one of the more sought-after areas of
London a city that has seen a fair few football grounds disappear in the name of property
development in recent years.
I wrote recently that the MVP chase in Major League Soccer is a slippery, elusive beast. Things
tend to shift quickly in this thing, I wrote.
So, I'll try not to bust my arm patting myself on the back for this one, but, uh ... nailed
it!
Two weeks ago, Dwayne De Rosario was an "also ran" at best in the MVP sweepstakes.
Europa League or Carling Cup, which ought we to want less? It's a tricky one. The Europa League
trophy is a sizeable beast, and its lack of handles gives it a pleasingly Neanderthalic edge –
one cannot help but handle it in rough, uncouth manner when raising it aloft, which is rather apt
after 90 minutes of blood and thunder.
The Philadelphia Union lost another Reserve League game, falling to the Columbus Crew's reserve
squad 2-1. However, the Union played better than they have in the past, managing to create many
scoring opportunities in the first half before becoming mediocre in the second half.
For the first time in the history of the Brotherly Game, a correspondent was present at a
Reserve League game to take notes.

It was an El Clasico: Real Madrid vs. Barcelona.
.One team, pressed, controlled possession and created chances, while the other one tried to keep up
and with their first 2 opportunities to strike, scored 2 goals on the back of the super talents of
their players. Which one was Real Madrid?
Welcome to the Premier League, AVB.
Is this seat taken?
First: That shot from Mikel. Brilliant. I told you, the man is going to score this season.
Now as Jack said, a draw away at Stoke isn't exactly a bad result. Especially as we seemed to
start a bit slow and Kenwyne Jones was winning headers all over the place against our defenders as
Stoke lumped the ball forward.
Our next View from the Enemy on our final day is with Jon Owen from Why Delilah who has spoken
to us about the highs and lows of last season.
Scott the Red: Were you happy with your team's performance last season?
John Owen: Very. It was disappointing not to finish in the top half, but it was another season
of progress for us.
The Blues provided another 4-0 performance in preseason, this time against Hong Kong champions
Kitchee in the Asia Cup. We will now go on to play Aston Villa in the final while Kitchee will take
on Blackburn for third place in the competition.
Chelsea dominated proceedings from the get-go with the usual problem of failing to test the
goalkeeper enough during the first half except when Benayoun broke into the Kitchee box, was
tripped and Lampard smashed home the penalty.
Arsenal signings 2 1 Arsenal sales
Arsenal: Specialists in snail-paced transfers. The good news is that Gervinho has definitely signed
or at least, he'll "shortly join" us "subject to a regulatory process". If Cesc and Nasri's summer
represents the longest goodbye Wenger disagrees on this point, vehemently then Gervinho's has
without doubt been the longest hello.
Eric Brunner knows kung-fu. Dude's got a red belt. Game of the Week Seattle 3, Portland 2 What. A.
Game. I'm glad the USWMNT's thriller Sunday morning went the way it did, because who knows if I'd
have been willing to put in two hours to watch this beast in a disheveled mindset. As it was, I was
so amped after Wambach & Co.
Hello and welcome to a brand new week, one which has the potential to be quite busy indeed.
Over the weekend I have come to accept that the fact that Ricky Alvarez is indeed a genuine
target for us. Despite the fact I can't get my head around it from a footballing point of view,
people I trust have assured me this isn't some bizarre Candid Camera style joke.
This is for the spot in the Gold Cup final - the USA is there courtesy of their 1-0 victory over
Panama earlier today.
3 - Already Chicharito has threatened the Hondo goal. Not wasting any time, that one.
4 - Guardado is a beast, and his outside shot just now doesn't miss by much.

Same Old England...Always Losing - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Before the European Championships, Stuart Pearce was given the assignment to prepare England's
under 21′s for what life would be like as part of the full national side. By crashing out at the
group stage in a blaze of glorious failure, Pearce has managed to pass the test in flying
colours.

After the Hulk it's the turn of the ‘Beast' in the long line of players to be linked with a
move to Spurs at the end of 2010-11.
The Beast is otherwise known as Sao Paulo's Carlos Henrique Casemiro, who is only 19 but fits
Spurs' price bracket at a mere £5m. However, contrary to some reports, he plies his trade as a
midfielder, not a striker and with only one season of first team football behind him, he is
unlikely to be the man Tottenham turn to as the answer to their goal scoring problems.
We all know Derrick Rose is going to win the 2011 NBA MvP for his regular season play. However,
which players are playing the best in the 2011 NBA Playoffs? While there's no such thing as a
postseason NBA MVP, here's our look at the top five best players so far in this year's NBA
playoffs.
1.
Every Easter week, Dallas plays host to one of the largest and more prominent youth tournaments in
the nation (and the world). This year we had the opportunity to travel north from FBM HQ in Austin
to take in the thirty-second edition of the Dallas Cup. Hundred of teams, thousands of players, and
tens of thousands of fans took in a week's worth of action.
A £3k policing bill looks set to spoil Gloucester City's weekend but is it
justified?
Football hooligans, they are on the rise in parts of Europe (some of the blogs about Russia are
particularly scary) but in the Blue Square North? Really?
There have been a few well documents ‘issues' this year – Nuneaton v Telford, Stafford v
Telford – but nothing outside the realms of two former giants meeting at a lower level or what is
essentially a local derby.
There's a beast in the East, and it's not New York.
The Philadelphia Union doesn't seem to care about all of the talk about the New York Red Bulls'
vaunted attack and sound distribution from the back. It's looking down on its Eastern Conference
rivals from atop the standings after a gritty win at an electric PPL Park.
Down, yes. But out? Certainly not.
A game of inches
In re-watching the match last night, I was reminded of Al Pacino's memorable halftime speech
from the movie Any Given Sunday. Inches, he said, were the difference between winning and losing.
Between living and dying.
It is not always just nostalgia that gilds the past. The 60s did, in reality, swing. The 70s did
too, so eat your heart out if you missed them because there is no chance of their being matched,
certainly not for the uncomplicated happiness they generated on football pitches, or heaving
terraces.
And George Best at his dissolute worst was unarguably a sunnier presence at Old Trafford between
1963 and 1974 than another teenage genius who arrived there 30 years later.
Boy, that felt awfully familiar, didn't it? Makeshift starting lineup due to injuries/suspensions.
Decent amount of fight and a few nice combinations in the middle third. Missed marks and poor
one-v-one defending. Lack of a cutting edge. Undone on the counter. It could almost be 2010 all
over again.
That said, biblical weather at altitude without half of the normal starters.

Well, at least it was entertaining.
The aftermath of the match has not been pretty with the usual fury from fans lamenting about the
ref's performance. Yes, that Luiz did not get sent off was incredibly questionable, but we know(or
hope?) that these shoddy decisions tend to even out over the course of the season.
By Darshan Joshi, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
He is the beast of the fashion capital of the world. Not a beast betrothed to a beauty (I've
checked), and not a beast in a candle-lit bedroom (we, hopefully, will never have to know), but
simply a beast in the simplest form of the word – an animal, of sorts.
Our Serbian beast has no intention of abandoning ship despite our stuttering form of late or the
appearance of new, young competition in central defense he has signed on for five and a half more
years as a Chelsea blue!
Despite rumors that he was unhappy playing as right back or that he was going to run off and
join AC Milan or Sevilla, Ivanovic has finally put pen to paper and committed his long-term future
to the Blues.
