Big blow for AC Milan's title hopes as striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been suspended for three matches for his red card against Napoli, meaning he will miss the top-of-the-table clash with Serie A leaders Juventus.

Ibra was sent off midway through the second half of Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli at the San Siro after he slapped opponent Salvatore Aronica in an off-the-ball incident.

Last month, the Brotherly Game brought news of the first ever official shirt based upon the blog itself. Live Breathe Futbol's design was popular among our readership and Union fans in general, but the purchasing process was inconvenient.

Due to this situation, we at the Brotherly Game reworked the ordering system and now provide a service through our own 'store.

And we are back...

Since the last post, I have found a new job and gotten twins so there has been a lot to do. In between changing diapers and walking a baby-carriage, I have found a moment to update the dear readers of this blog.

Lets start with the national team. Since beating the Netherlands to make it to the Euro 2012 endgame, we have been absolutely piss awful.

Regular readers of my blog will know that I like to pick out a video on YouTube now and again to showcase some of the work being done by fantastic people on there. In the last few days my Torres post which had over 10,000 hits alone featured work put together on the video channel.
Here I present to you yet another one to have a watch.

I was not happy after Villa Why? Cos minus 2 penalties and a fluke goal, we played average at best. We rarely created any real goalscoring opportunities from open play. I am never over enthused with Arsenal when we don't actually play Wengerball.

When we get those slick passing triangles going, opening up a host of chances.

Man, where do I even start? First, let me apologize for such a long hiatus. These past few months have been pretty crazy for me for a number of reasons, but I'm back now. If there's anyone out there that actually still reads this blog, thank you for your patience. This hasn't been a fun time for me, but things are starting to look up.

In the wake of the news that the WPS has been suspended for the 2012 season, former majicJack and current USWNT striker Ella Masar offers her view of the situation on her blog.

The current (at the time of writing) wikipedia entry for Dan Borislow, the majicJack franchise owner, should give you a heads up as to where the blame is believed to lie in this little saga.

NUFC Blog January transfer window countdown. Watch the magic window and keep updated on all the Newcastle United deadline drama. Ok, Here we go... Just a few hours to go before we learn of any in and/or outs on the final day of this January's transfer window. As we've already signed Papiss Demba Rodney Cisse [.

Falkirk face Celtic in a semi-final knowing that Kilmarnock lie in wait in the final.
It's the 1997 Scottish Cup all over again. History doesn't repeat itself, does it?
Mind you, Falkirk don't have the best of records in the league cup. They qualified for the second final back in 1947/48 and promptly lost 4-1 in a replay against Second Division East Fife.

The President of Rwanda wants his buddy Arsene to step down? Robin van Persie is furious with Arsene...Or is he? And, does Real Madrid really want Arsene?

It's been quite an interesting week for the Arsenal so far. If you haven't been following the news as much as I have, allow me to illuminate you.

Massive Report - For Columbus Crew Fans

Now joining SB Nation's dominence of the MLS team specific blogosphere is a Columbus Crew site so large it could only be called "Massive Report." This means that every team returning in MLS for 2012 is represented. Of course there are plans for a Montreal Impact blog and it is only a matter of time before all 19 teams are live.

I'm not mean to dampen the mood of everyone here, but I guess many of you out there must be disappointed by this time of the day when we are only made known of the opening round instead of the FULL fixture list of this season S.

Stage 3 of our examination of the financial architecture of the Football League's clubs sees us head to Coventry. Ian Palmer is a friend and associate of Neil Allison, custodian of the Sky Blues Blog and here provides his thoughts on the slough of despond facing the Sky Blues, a situation that has been allowed to develop both on and off the pitch.

One thing I have noticed on my blog and amongst Chelsea fans in general is a difference of opinion about our formation and who should be starting games. Of course we all know that for now AVB prefers the 4-3-3 formation as per managers before him here, but I just wonder what you the Chelsea fan reading this believes to be our better option(s).

What would the NSCAA Convention be without the added excitement (and pressure) of speaking? For the second year in a row, my good friend and peer Ryan Knapp and I presented together. Ryan and I met in 2009 at Tweet Blowing the Whistle on Social Media and have bantered back and forth on all things digital and social media since.

For today's profile, we welcome back Michael Hudson, a long standing friend of the blog and the mastermind behind The Accidental Groundhopper website. Here, Michael, who can be followed on Twitter at @DolphinHotel, turns his attention to a player on the brink of signing for Southampton, drawing as he does on his immense experience following the game in Asia.

Suddenly, there was this transfer at the end of Summer: Ricky van Wolfswinkel to Sporting. Not Ajax. Not Feyenoord. But Portugal. Of all places.

People ( also on this blog) said: that is not a smart move.... But six months later, Ricky scored prolifically, has been named player of the month [read more]

When approached to declare this blog as an ally for basic human rights, it was not a question of whether or not I would support the cause, but rather when I had the time to give the occasion a proper write up.

The ability to utilize one's inherent and unique version of humanity is something that the Brotherly Game strongly supports.

LOVS: Is Sebastian Le Toux On His Way To Becoming A Bolton Player?

SB Nation's Bolton blog has its take on Le Toux's rumored transfer to the English team.

The Telegraph talks about how Berbatov splits our fans.

ManUtd24 reminisces about the Yorke and Cole partnership.

The FCF looks at Wenger's best misplaced rants.

Ellzed's Blog looks at the reaction to Giggsy's birds.

The Daily Mail ponders on whether Cristiano Ronaldo would return to United.

I rarely post photos on this blog that are not mine but these are an exception. Gary Rohman is a fellow photographer that I sometimes work with and a friend. He is the team photographer for Sporting KC so many of the photos you see used in ads, posters and the website are Gary's. In addition to being a very good commercial photographer, he shoots the games and has captured some great shots.

Don't normally get all political here (unless it involves public financing of private sporting ventures), but today some* of you may have noticed the black bar over Google's logo today. Or Wikipedia going 'dark'.

That's because today is an U.S.-wide initiative to oppose SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and its sister legislation, PIPA.

This is a guest post from Arsenalbanter.com which is an interesting up-and-coming new Arsenal Blog. If you like this article take a visit and see what else they have to offer.....

With just two weeks of the January transfer window left, Tottenham Hotspur yesterday made their first signing. Iago Falque's loan from Juventus was made permanent for a fee rumoured to be around £1.5m. The young Spaniard was immediately sent out on loan to Championship club Southampton.

FC Boro has returned. After deciding to call it a day back in August, the desire to get this place up and running again has come back after the events of recent weeks. It's not totally back as it was as I've still got a few issues to iron out with the domain name and pictures etc, but the blog is back, just as Stevenage FC enter a new era after the departure of Graham Westley.

Like a phoenix rising in the night (or a bat rising above Mestalla), the Valencia Offside returns.

As many of you know, Kyle's Loco4LosChe is ending as of today. That's very sad news.

But the good news is that Kyle's going to write articles here, IF ANYONE FROM THE OFFSIDE ANSWERS OUR E-MAILS .

For those regular readers of this blog they will know we are fans of Ryan Taylor. Ryan Taylor - excellent utility player for Newcastle Ever since the lad arrived three years ago as a makeweight in the transfer of Charles N'Zogbia to Wigan, Ryan has been more than a decent player, but the thing we have liked about him most of all is that [.

The challenge today is to see if I can go through a whole blog without mentioning Thierry Henry.

Oh, balls. Well, mentioning him again. I know we football fans live very much in the moment, and the moment is kinda all his, but I reckon I've had my fill of articles about how great he is in training.

So Bob Bradley calls:

"Sigi, I was reading your blog and saw your thing, whatever that thing was on Run of Play, was that even a thing? About being a woman without women, and I'm like really? You're such a douche."

"Really? I just think they should write about women's soccer more. Some.

I wrote in the blog just before Christmas that I was broadly in favour of Thierry's return when it was just a rumour. If all he does is score one goal, then it's been worth it for a number of reasons.
Firstly, despite returning with Barca and NY, Thierry never really got the send off he deserved.

For the fifth in our Hopeless Teams series, we delve back relatively recently into the past by welcoming Richard Bellis. Richard co-runs Richard and Neil's Football Blog with his brother Neil and was the proud recipient of a nomination in the recent NOPA football blogging awards run by Picklive. 201i, however, largely saw Richard and Neil occupy themselves with the production and dissemination of The Blue & White Fanzine, a new print publication mainly devoted to the reformed Chester FC: a luscious object designed by our own Michael Kinlan and featuring contributions from TTUers William Abbs and myself.

Mirror: Bundesliga blog: Could Podolski and Goetze move to the Premier League?

Welcome to our German football blog, courtesy of BundesligaFussball's Ross Dunbar *** Over a week into the January transfer window and it is no surprise to see a host of clubs in the English Premier League eyeing up some of Germany's top talents.

In October of last year or sometime thereabouts, The Offside Rules implemented a pretty stunning redesign, which is perhaps best described as "Run of Play 2010 from Hell." And I mean that in the best way possible.

The site's tagline is now "America's premier soccer blog for the art-damaged.

Good morning, apologies for the slight lateness of this blog but I'm having some spinning colouredy-wheel issues with my computer this morning. And it turns out punching it does nothing. Who knew?

Anyway, a quick round-up of the news for you, starting, of course, with the return of Thierry Henry.

If there's a better way to celebrate your birthday than with a trip to Cowdenbeath's Central Park then I'm not sure what it is.
Obviously seeing your team winning on said trip would be something of a bonus but that's in the hands of Pat Fenlon and his less than merry band. Drink shall either dull the pain or intensify the joy.
