This week's little saucepot is sultry Kelly from Kent. Kelly has appeared on Broadway and loves nothing more then watching her beloved Man United play. She's also massive McFly fan, yes, she really is!

You can catch the lovely Kelly singing on the Official UKFF World Cup anthem very soon.

This week's girl of the week is a UKFF favourite and good time girl Katie Evans.

We first shot Katie a few years ago and she seems to be getting more cheeky with age. She's a real delight to photograph and always herself enjoys on set.

Just don't ask her what the passer by shouted out to her on the Christmas shoot!

Back in March, I noticed when compiling the offense/defense ranks by year that KC's offense tanked under Onalfo after a good first season. Meanwhile, DC United was going into the season with a six year streak of being in the top half of the league on offense, tied for the longest ever.
Something had to give, and with DC sitting dead last in points and on offense, Onalfo has been fired.

Danny Rose's goal was good, but exactly how good was it compared to the other best strikes against our North London rivals?

I've set up a poll for you to vote for the best goal scored by a Tottenham player against The Scum. They're all quite recent efforts, because I wanted all the contenders to have some corresponding YouTube action, so don't start complaining that I've missed out Bert Bliss' effort from 1915 or whatnot.

What a goal!!!! Farmers Gastro pub went nuts! People in bars, people sitting at their cubes watching espn3, people on their iphone's, Sam's army supporters, the American Outlaws, soccer moms, non-soccer fans nationwide all joined together and screamed with excitement as Landon Donovan scored.

I've already looked into the list of players who've played the most games without appearing in an MLS Cup (link). But what about those who have never even played in a single playoff game?
There have been 1,369 players in MLS history (who have played a competitive game for an MLS team). Of those, 677 have appeared in a playoff game, while 692 have not.

Inter Milan's Champions League bliss looks to have become AC Milan's Scudetto delight. The current champions have dropped points carelessly over the past two months, thus relinquishing their formerly...

Inter Milan have won the Champions League, they've conquered the greatest trophy in European club football, breaking a curse of 44 years. The Champions League was the third and final trophy necessary for the famed treble which only 6 clubs have now done, including Inter Milan. And who led Inter to this glory?

Good Lord, almighty, let's pop the top on this South African puppy and get the darn thing started!

This is, unashamedly, for Arsenal fans of a certain age. If you are not a Gooner do not read on, this is not for you.

My earliest recollection of going to watch Arsenal was when my dad took me to Highbury, for my birthday, more years ago than I care to admit to. After that, it soon became a weekly ritual and in the long week, from Sunday to Friday, leading up to the game on Saturday, I spent countless hours scouring as many newspapers as possible to glean even the smallest article about my beloved team.

What I want to know is whether we'll remember any of this is in ten years, or if we'll look back on it as the mass blackout during which we all wrote mystic texts. I can't remember two more deranged or thrilling days of soccer, or four more shocking games, in any recent tournament, and Euro 2008 made me compare Aphrodite to a Toyota Prius.

Have not got much time to say a lot this morning, which will please most, off on a weekend trip to the beautiful Fistral Beach... for those who have never been... GO!

Along with 2 friends, we purchased a holiday property overlooking the beach about a decade ago, and it has easily proved to be the best investment we have ever made, not just financially speaking, but being able to jump in the car and spend less than 4 hours driving to a place that you would never guess was on this island, is bliss.

So now we can all go back to our normal lives. We got angry. We kicked and screamed. We felt mugged off. And now.....a feeling of empty hollow with a touch of strange jubilation.
To view the events of this week in chronological order would be a waste of time. Everyone including their Mothers had their say, and eventually Rooney signed his contract.

As we head into another weekend of footballing bliss, let's have a look at the best build-ups that led to goals from the past week. That's right, here are your Assists of the Week. Whether it was Claudio Pizarro or Sergio Aguero's inch-perfect "no big deal" flicks that cut entire defences or Francesco Totti's first time 40-yard through ball to Marco Borriello, which assist was your favourite?
