I know I normally take the weekend's off but I do think this news is noteworthy enough to get me
to the laptop to type it out. Steve Goff reported earlier today that former New York Red Bull
academy player and Rutgers star Dilly Duka is set to sign with Major League Soccer.
Instead of exploring options in Europe like he had hoped after he left Rutgers earlier this
fall, Duke now is set to sign a four-year deal with the league.

Call me crazy (because I am), but despite Tenerife loss last week to Villarreal 5-0Â I still
think the new boys will win this weekend. Why you ask? Because although Tenerife looked horrid
last week this week they get to play Malaga who in nine games has lost seven. Malaga is in last
place and Tenerife sits just outside the relegation zone.

When I'm away from the blog, I work night shifts in the office. Often times I share the desk with a
huge Manchester United fan. He's big into online betting.
Whenever there is a game on TV we talk about the matchup, the betting line and where the money
should go. A couple clicks later and the bet is in.

Hull club officials had plenty of patience with boss Phil Brown over the last
year or so, even though the Tigers kept underachieving, but they have finally decided to sack him
if the team remain in the relegation zone after the next two rounds. Those of you who were
insightful enough to place a bet on Brown to win the Premiership sack race are
probably in for a nice betting bonus, while those of you thinking about doing that now should know
the betting is suspended.

Good start but even Van Persie couldn't have guess the final outcome
I'm beginning to think that I curse the players. Since I've been effusively praising a certain
player or a certain combination, there's bound to be something that went wrong with them in the
said match. The Diaby-Song combo did not work well tonight.

You just can't get that Saturday feeling without football can you? Well, I say without football
but there is just no Arsenal today, it should be a crime against humanity if you ask me and when I
come to power one day I will make sure that there is Arsenal 24/7, 12 months of the year. I might
even make sure there is some Arsenal on that extra day in a leap year.

Apologies once again for the lack of blog yesterday. My head has been spinning with ideas for
T-shirts from I went away to Amsterdam and knowing I didn't have to get up at 5 in the morning I
decided to get stuck in yesterday after work. Once I did, I couldn't stop. There's something about
the night time that seems to make me more creative, unfortunately, with aforementioned wakey up
time during the week it doesn't leave much scope for late nights during the week.

Steven Gerrard AND Fernando Torres are injured for Liverpool's trip to Sunderland.
Mayday Mayday Engine 1 is out. Crap Engine 2 is out as well. We're going down. We're going
down. Eject Eject!
Liverpool is pretty piss poor without one of the two. With both gone and Darren Bent scoring
goals for fun, it would take a brave man or a fool to bet on a Liverpool point even.

can score eight (in one) and eight (in the other)."

So what is the reason behind the Golden One's new look?
Style statement?
Not sure. I would have expected sharper edges and clearer lines. And less bushiness.

The future of sport watching? Certainly it worked quite well today.  I happened to have 25p
in a Bet365 account, which gave me free access to the stream. No problems at all. I would
assume Bet365 were happy too while getting bored of the game I had plenty of time to play with the
bells and whistles on their site, and ended up with a nice sounding double on Barcelona and Inter
Milan to win their respective leagues (a £10 bet that would return me my stake and £12 or so,
which seems fair).

I find myself asking it all the time: how old is that player? My last such quandary was over
Arshavin (older than I would have guessed). Before that it was over Jovetic (younger than I would
have guessed). When I' m looking up a player's age for an article or to settle a bet or for the
hell of it and a date before 1980 pops up, my initial reaction is: "Wow, he's getting old.
