It all began on September 10th 1960.
That was the date of the first live televised match on English television, the Division One game

their product (although it is doubtful whether ITV were aware that they were instigating a process
where the greatest sport would become a media brand).
Upsets left right and centre in today's FA Cup action. But what was the biggest shock?Coventry
somehow managed to obliterate Blackburn 4-1, whilst League One Huddersfield beat Birmingham 2-1.
Special mention should also go to Sheffield United who booted out Bolton with a 1-0 win lowly and
injury ravaged Oldham, who beat Everton 1-0 at [.

Tractor Boy makes gesture to jailed Luke McCormick Ipswich Town's David Norris has found himself in
trouble with the club after celebrating his goal against Blackpool with an alleged handcuff
gesture. The celebration was reported to be a message to former Plymouth Argyle team-mate Luke
McCormick who was jailed for causing the deaths of two children [.
Firstly it's been a bad week if your team has been beaten.
Secondly, David Norris of Ipswich Town for his 'handcuff' celebration after he scored
against Blackpool.
Thirdly, Chris Morgan's elbow on Barnsley's Ian Hume which left Hume with a fractured
skull.
If you took every professional team in English football and compiled an all-time league table that
calculated the number of points the clubs have earned since their existence, which teams would be
at the top? You may be surprised by the findings: Manchester United, 5559 points Liverpool, 5513
Arsenal, 5346 Wolverhampton Wanderers, 5137 Preston North End, 5105 Aston Villa, 5005 Sheffield

[As of now, nothing on the QPR Official Site re this]
Blackpool Gazette - League may block Gorkss move
The Football League League could block Kaspars Gorkss' move to Queens Park Rangers and punish the
London club further if they are found guilty of 'tapping up' the Seasiders defender.
-
Blackpool's Chairman continues to express his deep discontent with Queens Park Rangers over the
Gorkss proposed transfer. The football authorities have yet to issue any ruling re the Blackpool
complaint. And obviously every club should follow every rule. But even IF, hypothetically, they
were to rule that QPR had done something they shouldn't have done - the reaction of Blackpool seems
very "strong.

an argument with Flavio Briatore, the club's Italian co-owner.

Eurosport - Championship - Mahon: Foreign loan stars will shine
EXCLUSIVE! Queens Park Rangers midfielder Gavin Mahon has warned the club's Championship rivals

with.
Argentine Emmanuel Ledesma put in a sterling performance in the opening match of the season as QPR
beat Barnsley, while Spaniard Daniel Parejo appeared from the bench.
Soccer City FC's Chris C. commented on the former Bolton player in May. News today has Campo
signing with Coca-Cola Championship side Ipswich Town. Will Campo's veteran presence be a positive?
Or will he offer up a series of listless performances while in the Championship?
