Arsene Wenger can be a lot of things, but interesting is one of them. (Feels good to start off
the day fresh with a solid backhanded compliment.)
Actually, he's quite an interesting man outside the boundaries of the season, which makes one
thing there might be a little bit of gamesmanship with his in-season commentary.
The events of the weekend in the Football Conference have re-opened a debate within non-league
football that has lain dormant for several years, in spite of increasingly contradictory

Following their 0-0 draw at the Brittania on Sunday, Stoke manager Tony Pulis and Chelsea boss

"This big Stoke team was actually outmatched by Chelsea at the end.
Despite Blackpool boss Ian Holloway's now void and empty resignation threat, the Premier League
fined The Tangerines £25,000 for fielding a weakened team against Aston Villa on November

Right everyone, stick with me, a bit of a ramble, Peaches collared me late last night.....
Yesterday, Arsene Wenger staunchly defended his team, his players, his beliefs, the season,

Nike has released their latest version of the Nike Superfly III and these
things are pretty flashy coming in an Orange! You have to love how Nike break the boundaries with
colorful releases, and these ones fall in line with the Berry release from a few years back. They
fall in the $300 category, so you will need to be sure about these ones if you are going to pick up
a pair!
Well we have had a day or so now to evaluate our 0-0 draw against Stoke so I thought I would tell
you exactly where I am about the result and the performance.
We always knew Stoke away was going to be a hard and physical game so it came as no surprise some

either joy or fury displayed beyond any normal boundaries [.
Manchester vs. Manchester: The derby goes beyond a City being far from United
The scarf vs. the ‘sir'. An enigmatic Italian vs. a hot tempered, highly talented English
talisman. A young, earnest Mexican vs. an Argentine taking the Premier League by storm.
This picture, taken on the Brooklyn Bridge on November 17th by Mother Jones reporter
Josh Harkinson, is one of thousands of images generated by the Occupy Wall Street movement. The

And were will it take us?
BUKIT JALIL: Barely four days after the country celebrated a scintillating
victory in the final of the Sea Games football final in Jakarta, the Tigers suffered a reality
check.
Last night at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, the message was chilling, and yet loud and clear
— that though the Sea Games gold signaled a triumph, Malaysian are still minnows when they step
out of the boundaries of Southeast Asia.
Luis Suárez case: 'It was key the FA produced an emphatic judgment'
The former Chelsea captain praises the Football Association for taking the chance to establish
the boundaries of acceptability and send out a message of zero tolerance of racism Clearly this was
an extremely complex and sensitive case, but it was key that the FA demonstrated it could organise
an independent, transparent and fair process, and produce a clear and emphatic judgment.
