club soccer swing of things.

It seems that Bristol Rovers have clinched the loan signing of Newcastle's highly-rated goalkeeper
Fraser Forster. Fraser Forster promising young goalkeeper at Newcastle Fraser was born in nearby
Hexham and has been an impressive youngster at the Newcastle club for the last couple of years. Now

It was a relatively light weekend for the Americans Abroad, but there was still plenty to talk
about at despite the
Mike Grella scored the game-winning goal for Leeds United in their 2-0 win over Stockport
County. Grella, who was subbed out in the 72nd minute, netted in the ninth.
It was a stadium known for flowerbeds behind the goal and a terrible fire. It was also known for
its stench.
Six games left, and while trips to Old Trafford, Goodison and Anfield look tricky, our home
games vs West Brom, Man City and, first of all, Newcastle, are eminently winnable.
If you look carefully, the words "home banker" can clearly be seen etched across this fixture.
On current form Newcastle are amongst the worst in the Premiership.
Lloyd Owusu cuts an unlikely figure as a possible season saving hero. He is thirty-two years old
now, and has spent much of his career as a nearly man - Brentford's all-time highest scorer, he
scored with his first touch for Sheffield Wednesday in a derby match against Sheffield United in
2002, but failed to settle at Hillsborough and ended up cutting something of a journeyman existence
around the lower divisions.
The Fulham striker tells Gary Andrews how Roy Hodgson's organisation has the Cottagers
flying high, and why he's unconcerned by his lack of goals.
When Fulham head to Newcastle this weekend, casual observers could be forgiven for expressing
surprise that the two clubs' respective positions aren't reversed.
Liverpool's Youth team will look to take giant strides towards a third FA Youth Cup when they take
on Arsenal in tonight's final first leg.
Current FA Premier League national winners, and widely regarded as the best youth side in the
country, the Gunners will provide a stern test for the Reds.

Wycombe Wanderers forward Jon-Paul Pittman has now scored in consecutive League One matches, this
time smashing a 2-1 home rally winner against Bristol Rovers with 10 minutes remaining on the
clock.For the Choirboys, it was like singing Hallelujah! as their first win of the campaign. I
won't hold my breath on a clip, but as Joaquín Andújar loved to say: "juneberno".
Good news for Newcastle United today in the Championship. Would you believe it both teams above
Newcastle on goal difference today were beaten Middlesbrough lost at Bristol Rovers with a last
minute winner from Nicky Maynard, which was his second goal in the game. And Cardiff were beaten
2-0 at Doncaster Rovers.
American-born forward Jon-Paul Pittman scored the decisive goal in Wycombe Wanderer's 2-1
victory over Bristol Rovers on Saturday.

The 2-1 result gave Wycombe their first victory of the year.
Big Story
It's been a bad week for football with racism by fan(s) prominently rearing its head again.
Supporters continue to take a stand against racism in the game, but sometimes even their own clubs
don't support their efforts in a shocking and petty move, Bristol Rovers
management have refused to run an anti-racism ad in the club's matchday magazine by the club's own
supporters trust, the Gas Independent Fans' Trust (GIFT).

Even though it was just a Tuesday, there was plenty of action to go around in Europe today, with
Cup competitions calling American players into action. Tim Howard and Brad Guzan were both starters
today as the Carling Cup resumed in England.
There's no arguing that Fraser Forster is a 'huge' talent, as he towers a good several inches over
the tallest of his Newcastle defenders. But is he good enough to attract the likes of Arsenal and
Tottenham scouts?There have been several rumours this weekend after a dearth of speculation over
player departures, (well it is [.

Stevenage embark on another FA Cup journey this weekend as they travel up to Stoke to face
League 2 side Port Vale. This time last year we were preparing for another trip up the M1, that
time it was to Leicester, who comfortably beat us 3-0 at the Walkers Stadium. Now though, Boro are
a much improved and experienced team.
It's a light day of soccer/football on Friday, November 6, 2009. The German Bundesliga has their
typical Friday match along with matches in the English Championship and English FA Cup. These three
matches will be covered live at Free Live Sports TV. The links for each match are below along with
match times.
Liverpool under-18s will get the chance to gain speedy revenge on Wolverhampton Wanderers after
being drawn at home against them in the third round of the FA Youth Cup.
Rodolfo Borrell's side lost 2-1 after a goal five minutes from time gave Wolves the points in the
FA Premier Academy League on Saturday.
If you missed the first game against Port Vale, well tonight was more or less the same, but
without the dramatic injury time equaliser. Boro again were the better side for the majority of
the game, but failed to convert their chances and ended up losing the game due to an error by
captain Mark Roberts.
With Sir Matt Busby still in hospital, recovering from the tragedy in Munich, Jimmy Murphy, the

job, but after the Munich Air Disaster, he became the caretaker manager.
