With disappointment piling up in MLS play like unnecessary similes in my PUT articles, the Philadelphia Union's road to the playoffs grows longer and more winding by the matchday. Speaking of the song that ended with the Beatles breaking up, what happened to the Union's Fab Four (Le Toux, Mondragon, Califf, and Paul the Stray Ferret)?

Home: A stylish older brother to England's away kit. Same colour scheme, but done much better, and with a Nehru collar that would have done The Beatles nicely. Away: We loved the old Breton-style stripy away kit, so we sort of resent this shirt from the outset. Overwhelmingly white with a hint of darker colours [.

Here's a fun fact about being 0-0-9 AND national champions at the same time : you start to expect things.
The mighty Robins looked really good against Vancouver mid-week and their persistence / luck paid off (finally). So as an opportunity to build momentum, the scheduling gods predicted both TFC's pending mediocrity and corner-turning momentum to hand us a date with one of the second-worst teams in the league in Philadelphia.

The Kop embracing The Beatles in 1964.

There's nothing quite like a trip to Wembley, and today's a very big day for Liverpool fans. While Liverpool has adopted "You'll never walk alone", back in 1964 the crowd sang "She Loves You" and channeled their inner Lennon and McCartney.

22.02.2012 - En plena Guerra Fría, Unión Soviética lograba el primer alunizaje controlado (Luna IX), las universidades estadounidenses tomadas en contra de la guerra de Vietnam, Jacqueline Kennedy donaba dólares para la restauración de la inundada Florencia (Italia), el Che Guevara de expedición secreta en América latina, Alemania e Israel retomaban diplomacia plena, Timothy Leary despedido de la universidad de Harvard y detenido por tenencia de drogas (LCD) arengaba "sintoniza, conecta, abandónate", The Rolling Stones brillaban sexualmente con (I can´t get no) Satisfaction por sobre el tibio "quiero darte la mano" de The Beatles y André Courreges (modisto francés) sorprendía con sus inéditos diseños de "minifaldas" que, baratas y atractivas, se multiplicaban por millones a la sombra de Brigitte Bardot.

Have you noticed that Joey Barton is expressing his musical preferences through head and facial furniture lately ? The Morrissey fetish (and illustrative quiff) has been crushed beneath the weight of his Beatles back catalogue, judging by this photo of him at the QPR FA Cup game this week.

First off, I accept that this is a pretty unfair comparison.

To rank any Arsenal team from any era against the most feted group of Gunners ever to have worn the sacred cannon is clearly destined to be a mismatch.

It's a bit like comparing Dan Brown with Charles Dickens, or Boyzone with the Beatles.

The new timebomb Stoke City are aiming to make amends for their 'turning down The Beatles' moment with their latest transfer target. Tony Pulis and co. infamously rejected the Premier League's current in-form striker, Demba Ba, this time last year. Ba failed a medical at the Britannia Stadium, with Pulis subsequently describing the Senegal international's [.

"A good ball by Dixon finding Smith onto Thomas charging through the midfield, Thomas it's up for grabs now. Thomas , right at the end. An unbelievable end to the season." My favourite goal of all time, probably every Arsenal fans favourite goal. There have been plenty more beautiful (TH v MU 2000) but certainly none more dramatic.

NBA star Lebron James was among thousands of fans who attended last weekend's Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Manchester United. The Miami Heat forward was clearly excited as was evident by his tweets.

"Just got to Liverpool, England,"

"Riding through the city.

'Pepe would be John Lennon'

We asked Stewart Downing to pick four teammates who would make a great Beatles tribute act.

Chelsea's 'bringing things to work for show n'tell' scheme was put on hold some months ago after someone got shot. It was a shame, but as we at Kickette know, these things happen.

On their recent tour of Asia though, the boys in blue revealed that this event had been nothing more than a hiccup in their team building regime.

In which Chelsea's resident in-house Beatles tribute band a fab foursome consisting of Messrs Drogba, Malouda, Ferreira and Cech perform 'Let It Be' live (with a little, alright, a lot of help from their friends) in the restaurant of their hotel during the club's pre-season tour of Asia.

Singing the Blues Not content with buying Fernando Torres, Chelsea have set about stealing another Liverpool legend by forming their own version of The Beatles. Fronted by the Blues' club chef, the Fab Five also features Didier Drogba on tambourine, Paulo Ferreira on percussion, Petr Cech on drums and Florent Malouda on bongos.

England's Liverpool Echo imagined what sort of mania home town music heroes, The Beatles, could have generated in the China of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution to describe the fan interest that Liverpool Football Club enjoyed during its recent exhibition game against Sunray Cave FC in the southern Chinese city of Guangdong.

In which Scouse crooner Wayne Rooney serenades new flames Andy Carroll and Gary McAllister with a beautiful, tear-inducing rendition of 'Yesterday' before breaking into a Beatles medley (with a bit of Oasis thrown in at the end for good measure) in a bar in Barbados.

Saturday's game proved once again that a determined Spaniard always gets their revenge.

Grant Wahl tweeted before kick-off that Spain was resting so many starters that it was like going to see the Beatles with Ringo doing all the singing. Well, if Spain was a Ringo-only Beatles, the US was more like a full strength Rebecca Black.
