It's getting old folks, the losing is getting old. First the Portland game on Saturday where the Blues lost 3-1 and then it seemed we would bring back a point from Vancouver but with only 10 minutes left Miami conceded a goal followed by another a few minutes later that sealed our fate and might keep us away from the playoffs for yet another season.

Manchester's billboard wars escalate! Manchester City supporters have made the latest move in a poster battle with United fans. A spoof email featuring the slogan 'Welcome to Stretford' and a hobbling Michael Owen has been doing the email rounds. City started the war with a provocative 'Welcome to Manchester' advertisement featuring Carlos Tevez shortly after capturing the [.

As the Manchester derby heats up for this weekend's clash between Manchester United and Manchester City, you can clearly see that battle lines have been drawn.
This billboard of recent City signee Carlos Tevez in his new colors has sparked a lot of controversy on the Trafford side of town.

It's a mouthful folks but we are happy to have him, Gale Agbossoumonde, standout defender for the U.S. Under-20 National Team is a Miami FC player. Cry all you want Rev Fans he's not going to MLS, nope.
Many might say: 'Why did he pick USL?' Well, I don't know the details except that it is a 3 1/2 year deal which will see Gale spend some time here in Miami and then move on to Brazil.

Manchester City unveiled the above billboard as a fun marketing ploy and snarky dig at Man Utd last week, and as you can see it didn't take long for United fans to splatter the poster with red paint.

But this smoldering civil war of trash talk and flying paint is far from its conclusion.

For me the answer is quite simply...yes!!

For years Arsenal have been the media's main interest in English football..Constantly harassing us, making false allegations and to put it bluntly, talking absolute shit about us. No other football team in England has been under the media microscope more than Arsenal and in recent years, due to the lack of trophies and the apparent lack of funds, the situation has become worse, but now they have a new play thing.

Following the billboard that Man City paid for in Manchester City Centre last week. Sir Alex Ferguson has clearly been rattled by City's antics and has decided to go out on the offensive by launching some blistering attacks on the Eastlands club.
"It's City isn't it? They are a small club with a small mentality," he said.

I am not a big Car lover but I have to admit to being impressed by this automobile, just hope that it gives him plenty of enjoyment and helps get him to his Physio appointments on time!

Striker Michael Owen has celebrated his move to Manchester United by splashing out £170,000 on the latest Ferrari supercar.

Sir Alex Ferguson exposed Emmanuel Adebayor and his agent's last minute calls to Chelsea and Manchester United in the hope that they would hijack the striker's move from Arsenal to Manchester City. It is quite amusing to read that the claim was in respond to the Tevez billboard in the City Center, not too sure [.

Former England manager Sir Bobby Robson has died of cancer aged 76. He had been battling the disease in various forms since 1992.

Robson will be best remembered for taking England to within a penalty-shoot out at the 1990 World Cup, but he also enjoyed success both domestically and with European clubs and had the kind of record that few modern managers can equal.

The Blues continue their playoff hunt this Friday August 14th against the Minnesota Thunder 8 pm at Lockhart Stadium! We need all fans in South Florida out there to support Miami FC!
Be sure to get out to the stadium early as the Miami Ultras will be offering free beer starting at 6pm at the Tailgate!

If by chance your vision was impaired to the point that you would somehow guess that the above mural depicts Emmanuel Adebayor (and not an even more severely burned Carlos Tevez), then you would be correct. Amazingly.

Says Man City's official website:

People visiting the Arndale Centre in Manchester today will have been greeted by a huge visual graphic of our Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor adorning the floors of Halle Square, just outside the CityStore.

All the stuff being covered outside the unfriendly confines of the award winning Dirty Tackle...

Jermain Defoe was in jail for five hours yesterday.

Manchester City have sought to rub salt in to the wounds of United fans bitter at Carlos Tevez's defection from red to blue by producing a huge city centre poster enforcing their belief that City are the only true Manchester club. After protracted negotiations, Tevez signed a five-year contract with Manchester United's cross-town rivals, Manchester City, [.

So what did I tell you? It's not easy to be a sports photographer!
Factors like ground survey before the game, the lighting of the venue, etc.
And the likeliness of having players crashed onto you! Like the depicted collage which compiled the frame-by-frame shot of Balestier's Korean import Oh In Kyun being overpowered by DPMM's Sairol Sahari and Safari Wahit.

The end of the campaign Remember the Manchester billboard/Photoshop wars? Well, United fans have had the final say on it (for now, at least) after being presented with the perfect picture to do so. Winning goalscorer (and billboard star) Little Mickey Owen took a trip past fellow protagonist Carlos Tevez during his celebrations.

Yes, nothing says eager anticipation like a billboard of a man with a football pattern cut into his hair getting orally violated by a vuvuzela.

As some cliche-ridden commentators repeatedly state "you can only beat what's in front of you" and that's what Sir Alex's men did in this one. Some quality goals amongst the 8 scored by Man United including two more for Michael Owen and a second half hat-trick for Ryan Giggs.

• Man United Striker the Target of (Fake) Billboard Abuse!

Well hello there.

I see you've caught me on a billboard. Does that turn you on? Is this your idea of a big sack of sexy? ... No to both question? What if I told you that I paid a lot of money for this Berba billboard and they specifically said that they would not give me a refund if beautiful ladies like yourself don't find it sexy?
