Ring the bells and wake the children -- the King of Old Trafford, Portuguese sensation Bebe, is returning to Manchester United after his almost not completely terrible loan spell in Turkey. The 21-year-old Sir Alex Ferguson bought sight unseen for £7.4 million in August of 2010 has yet to be unloaded and never spoken of again, so he will now rejoin Man United until that inevitably happens.

For those unaware, it was the first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship Final last night, with Vancouver Whitecaps pulling one back injury time to salvage a late 1-1 draw against Toronto FC at the BC Palace that 'one' being this sublime slashed volley from Whitecaps' Eric Hassli, a man who seems to specialise in this kind of thing.

Fiorentina have a pretty lousy season in Serie A, languishing down in the lower reaches of the table, just six perilous points about the relegation zone. Morale is thin on the ground.

Last night, Fiorentina played second-bottom Novara and, after going 2-0 down after just thirty minutes, coach Delio Rossi was forced into making a change; hauling off midfielder Adem Ljajic (the name may ring bells for Man Utd fans) after just 32 minutes.

There are three recognized supporter clubs for the Atlanta Silverbacks. The West side 109, East Side 309, and the new family friendly Band of Backs. Supporter organizations are vital parts of every soccer club. They are usually the groups that are the most vocal, devoted, and willing to travel to support their team at away matches.

Zlatan: Say it with flowers

You may remember not so very long ago when Zlatan Ibrahimovic, irked at being asked a perfectly legitimate question by Sky Italia reporter Vera Spadini, flicked his headband at her then asked 'what the f**k she was looking at?

This one is to the tune of Away in a Manger: New year in a prison, in a cold wet bunk bed, The tax dodging Redknapp, laid down his small head. His cell mate above him, looked down where he lay, The tax dodging Redknapp, oh how he would pay. The prison bells ringing, the poor convict awakes, and wheeler-dealer 'Arry, a shower before breakfast he takes.

Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Arsenal

For some reason, it had not dawned on me how tough our Champions League group would be until last night. Maybe it was all the other stuff going on I simply hadn't thought much about it. Maybe it was years of sailing through this part of the competition (though we made a meal of it last time round).

Earlier in the week the England boss Fabio Capello criticised the Arsenal medical team over their treatment of Jack Wilshere. Well today they have hit back claiming that Capello does not know what he is talking about. Hang on a minute that sounds familiar. World Cup 2010 ring any bells Fabio? A source at the [.

It has been a few days since I wrote anything so this post is going to be a bit of a mish-mash. We are close to coming to the end of one of the biggest few weeks in Arsenal's recent history: Champions League qualification completed, the squad remains to be bolstered and we need to make sure we don't fall too far behind in the league.

"O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up-for you the flag is flung-for you the bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths-for you the shores a-crowding; For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning." - Walt Whitman Perfection, according to Plato, is an abstract unachievable goal [.

Give this guy a peanut, for he has succesfully come up with a way to make women take their clothes off in public without any of the tedious legal wrangling that tends to flare up...

The name 'Oqvist' ringing any bells? The Swedish hottie came in at number three in our unashamedly sexist rundown of the ten hottest fillies at the Women's World Cup.

This year has been quite kind to Liverpool Football Club so far. They may have been knocked out of the two trophies that they began 2011 with a chance of winning, but it's likely that only the Europa League can be considered a genuine disappointment. The odds that they faced at Old Trafford were insurmountable, and the visible improvement in the cohesion of the team in even this match was the first sign of life stirring after a 2010 that most people connected with the club would sooner forget.

It had been hoped that, when Halesowen Town of the Zamaretto League Premier Division entered into administration in September of 2009 that their problems might finally be starting to come to an end. The club exited administration after having been bought by the brothers Graham and Godfrey Ingram (Godfrey was a former player with Luton Town, just in case the name is ringing any bells) and the Supporters Trust, which had been boycotting thee club on account of the mismanagement of previous owner Morrell Maison, cautiously ended the boycott of the club that had seen crowds slump by 70% to only around the 100 mark.

In every young, talented footballer's tenure, there are smart career moves, and then there are the occasional "WTF" moments. In the case of Karim Benzema's newest venture rapping on a new French track, "Fais moi la passe"/"Let me pass" this is undoubtedly the latter.
