Imagine you have enough money to keep buying strikers even after you already had too many for both your first team and reserves.

One thing that we just loved last season with the Newcastle players, is that they fought and turned up for almost every single game, and some their come-backs like at Bristol City - where the lads came back from 2-0 at half time to draw and almost win the game, were just great to see. [...]

We are still on something of a light schedule for weekend soccer television action, but this week is a little better than last week and they should just keep getting better until we're near full speed, at least in Europe, at the end of January.

The lion's share of this week's action falls into three categories of matches.

The third round of the FA Cup is like Christmas to me. There's always a surprise or two that you never expect. Plus, I usually get up early in anticipation of the matches that are before me. And this year, it was great to see the added touch of snow across England to make the games more festive.

With 2009 in the rearview mirror, the new year brings with it great promise and new challenges for the world's best teams and players.

FC Barcelona will look to take on those new challenges after winning every trophy it could in 2009. The quest for new hardware begins today when Barcelona takes on Villarreal.

It will be another trophyless year at Eastlands are Manchester City were knocked out of the F.A. Cup by Stoke 3-1 after extra time. Stoke will now travel to holders Chelsea FC in the next round.

Other Premier League clubs winning replays were Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur.

Villa, who play Manchester United in the League Cup final on Sunday, required two late penalties from John Carew to defeat Crystal Palace 3-1.

The Mail reports a bid may be forthcoming:

Brian Marwood, the Eastlands football administrator, held initial talks over a potential move for Moses last week but was taken aback by the club's £5million valuation.

But Marwood wants to hold a second round of talks with Palace this week and will head down to Selhurst Park on Saturday to run the rule over Moses when Palace take on Bristol City in the Championship.
