NHL playoff hockey is fun to watch. Add boobs and the fun factor increases a couple more levels. That's exactly what happened in a recent game between in the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks. When the Sharks' Ben Eager went to the penalty box, a Canucks fan flashed her boobs at him. Why? I'm not sure .

The 2010-2011 La Liga season just ended, but a lot of teams are already lining up new players for next season. Here is a look at some of the major transfers of the summer so far:

Real Madrid
Following Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira's arrivals last summer, Real Madrid have again foraged in the Bundesliga for talent, recruiting the Turkish midfield pair of Nuri Sahin and Hamit Altintop from Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich respectively.

So this morning the fixtures "Super computer" spat out the Premier League fixtures for this coming season and I have to say we have a good start with a run of five games to get up to speed before we face the first of the big guns in Manchester United away on September 17th.
I think we are going to have a fantastic season next season and have a look at our fixtures below and see if you agree with my points predictions.

It would be inappropriate for us to consider an image of anyone else to lead this post, no? Image: REUTERS/Andres Stapff/Daylife.

Everyone has their own opinion as to why the Copa America has been so peculiar this time around; the dearth of goals in the early rounds, the number of penalty shoot outs needed to decide the outcome of games, the inexplicable poor form of the big guns that saw them depart early in the competition.

Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal Premier League 29th October 2011

Yet another bizarre, goal-crazy game between a couple of the Premier League's big guns, this time with a resurgent Arsenal side knocking five past a defensively rubbish Chelsea.

Luca Modric has pretty much been a hot property this summer as despite the rejection of Tottenham Hotspurs in selling the player, reports claim that the player's suitors are not giving up on them and his agent pretty much encouraged the move.

Nikky Vukan, who represented Modric stated to the press that the recent offer worth around 22 million pound, allegedly made by Chelsea would be to little for Spurs in considering as the number are not far from what the Lilywhites paid to sign him few years ago.

This Wednesday, Neymar and his Santos team mates will take on Penarol in the Copa Libertadores final second leg with a chance to win the competition for the first time in 50 years.
After the tournament has finished, the Santos President has said that clubs will be free to talk to Neymar about a move but would hope that he stays at the club to continue to make history.

The wait is over for those interested in what will happen to the 2011 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. Today the USSF released details on the structure of the tournament and the schedule for each round.

The 98th edition of the USOC will get underway on June 14 with 16 first-round games. Five rounds of play precede the Oct.

Before I begin I just want to say a big Thank You to Arseblogger for linking to my last post and a sort of belated welcome to all the new readers who came from Arseblog. Getting a mention on the best and most popular football blog on the planet is for me something akin to what Connor Henderson might have felt while playing with the big guns in the first team.

Real talk, no chasers: it's time for the big guns.

Don't let the happily-go-lucky lead pic mislead you: this contest is not made for the meek. In our third week of commitment to the carved legs, we aim to empower you with a wide-open, no holds barred look at the Herculean hammies of Mario Gomez (Vintage) and Maynor Figueroa (Virgin, obvs).

Money, money, money... Is it just me, or is there a definite shift in the perceived focus of the club from the Champions League to the bankers league?
I guess that was unavoidable, as, like most European clubs, OL has been hit financially lately. And, among France's leadership to install financial fair play in football, Jean-Michel Aulas can be considered as a good money manager, as shown by his club's financial evolution under his tenure.

AVB has rang the changes and introduced three youngsters tonight starting against Everton with some big guns on the bench. JT didn't travel along with the suspended Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba and Jose Bosingwa. Ramires isn't ready to play.
The starting Chelsea team is as follows:
Turnbull, Ivanovic, Alex, Luiz, Bertrand, Romeu, McEachran, Malouda, Lukaku, Kalou, Anelka.

It's been scintillating six months of English football. We've had blow outs (8-2, 5-3, and 6-1 between some big guns) and some stunning individual performances (numerous hat-tricks and goal line saves). With half a season to go, it's time to ...

Another day, another game, and really this should be another three points. There is no such thing as an easy game in the Premiership apparently, but if there were Fulham at home would probably be it. While they have just won away, they did so at around the five hundredth time of asking, and on the back of two successive ten-man wins and a two-month unbeaten run our lot are in cracking form at the moment.

Kung Fu Kick vs Twinkle Toes!

Arsenal go into their crunch Premier League match against title rivals Manchester City on the back of a convincing 3-0 away win at Birmingham.

The Gunners have the chance to leap frog City into second on Wednesday night with a game in hand, and to close the gap on league leaders Manchester United.

Arsenal are having a serious blip in their season having failed to score a goal from open play in their last three games, including two against Championship sides. But Arsene Wenger will point to the fact that he has rotated the team and tomorrow he will have all his big guns fresh, rested, and back [.

DOHA, Qatar — Australia and South Korea shared the spoils 1-1 in the battle of the big guns at the Asian Cup on Friday as both sides inched closer to the quarter-finals. The two Asian heavyweights are both seen as potential champions but neither could find the winner at the three-quarters full Al-Gharafa Stadium.

It was a good and much needed win on Saturday against Blackburn. A game we had to win and Chelsea delivered with two goals but overall a much more dominant and impressive performance. The big guns came back into the side as Chelsea lined up with Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry (C), Cole, Essien, Ramires, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba and Malouda.

Morning all,

back to league action today and it's Wigan at home. It's just a few weeks since we played them away, the game when Arsene made all those changes and we allowed them to equalise late on with just 10 men. I expect changes again today but instead of looking to 'fringe' players to come in and do the job it'll be the big guns returning.

One of Uruguay's finest has had enough of Holland. He wants out, and soon. The man in question is Ajax's goal scoring machine Luis Suarez, and Liverpool is dying to sign him. The problem, however, is that Ajax are looking for at least £26 million from the Reds. The latest offer rejected by the Amsterdam Arena outfit was for a paltry £12.

Manchester United's newest signing, goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, is set to make his debut in half an hour in United's FA Cup match against Southampton. Lindegaard's debut comes in the wake of Edwin van der Sar's recent retirement announcement, and Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to see his team continue their excellent form with a win over Southampton.

Three big guns in the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, all achieved the target they set up in the weekend by getting all three points from their respective opponents in the midweek game.

The positive results that those three teams achieved on the day resulting in nothing in the table's movements as all of the teams still stick with their current position just before the midweek game, with United leading, the Gunners at second and the Blues still trailing at fourth.

As the half-time whistle blew at the Emirates on Tuesday, some were wondering whether a decisive blow had been struck in the race for the Premier League title.

United were cruising at fortress Old Trafford while an under-par Arsenal were trailing to the 13 men of Everton.

Arsenal showed character to win their game and keep the title very much alive.

Do you ever feel like circumstances are conspiring against you?

Last season, I found myself unable to watch either of the two Barcelona ties, at least live. The first leg at the Emirates coincided with a work trip to Chicago, so I was stuck in a room with a bunch of lawyers representing two large corporates, listening to them fail to agree anything while sneaking glances at BBC's text commentary.

I'm slightly perturbed by Tony Pulis. In fact, I'm a little more than freaked out.
Usually the man takes every chance possible in his stinking existence to have a pop at Arsenal. Today he kind of gives us a little gee-up.
To say I'm surprised is an understatement and I've come to the conclusion that he has either taken a whack on his head or he has fallen out with his posse.

Caution, trap ahead!
Moving from the high-tension, high publicity Real Madrid then Lille games to welcoming the worst team of the championship, on a late Sunday afternoon, is a wide gap, that is not without risks. Decompression is inevitable, the Lyonnais know it only too well.

When Mesut Ozil joined Real Madrid this past summer, some wondered who he was and where he had come from, especially considering his dazzling performances in South Africa.

Mesut Ozil was born 15th October 1988 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. He quickly established himself as a key player to the Gelsenkirchen team and he continued to play for an array of teams until Schalke 04 came knocking.

We never thought that we'd be forced to reconsider our opinion of the FIFA ruling regarding shirt removal, but quite frankly, in light of the news that Aussie Rules football player Nathan van Someren was cautioned for 'dangerous hair' last week, we're re-visiting our priorities.

Pressure cooker ready to burst, or bowl of overboiled noodles?
Difficult to anticipate the spirits in which the players will face Lens today. A week after the draw against Nice (2-2), much has been leaked, distorted, or exaggerated, about the atmosphere within the squad. Yes, Hugo Lloris exploded after the match, on his way back to the locker rooms.

With the league season ending on Sunday English football's big guns are in for a busy close season.

LONDON, England Roberto Mancini saw Manchester City clinch automatic qualification to the group stages of the Champions League and immediately demanded a fresh injection of cash. Arsene Wenger saw his side's season end on a low-key note with a draw against Fulham and promptly heaped more frustration on Arsenal fans by admitting the club [.

Today Bob Bradley released his roster for the upcoming 2011 Gold Cup that kicks off June 7th. It was apparent from the beginning the Bob Bradley was bringing out the big guns as marquee names like Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey were all called up (amongst others). This is an important tournament for the Nats.

This will be considered a disappointing result for the Three Lionesses after Fara Williams gives them a dream start with a towering header. But the highlight goal has to be Monica Campo's 30 yard screamer which a flailing Karen Bardsley fails to fend off.

The shot takes her by surprise and she reacts too late.

Hello July (well, almost). Hard to believe it but another month is down in Major League Soccer and the league heads into possibly one of the busier months with friendlies taking place, USOC games going on, CCL play-in games happening and of course the all-crazy transfer market opening up.

MLS moves into one of it's important weekends of the season, the July 4th holiday weekend.

In what was a turmoil ridden campaign for the Giallorossi, there were always going to be causalities – the question is, will ‘il capitano futuro', the disaffected Daniele De Rossi, follow Philippe Mexes out of Rome? Understandably, vultures in the form of European football's big guns are circling over Roma's carcass, hoping to pick from the bones of last season, before Thomas di Benedetto can.

There were no easy games. It is a cliché that is often wheeled out during international tournaments but for the very first time, it did actually apply to the Copa America. In past editions, teams like Venezuela and Bolivia, when facing any of the continent's big guns, could almost always be relied on squeal, drop to the floor, cover their faces and whimperingly accept a savage beating.
