TRANSFORMATIONAL FOOTBALL PART 1: CAN FOOTBALL REALLY SAVE THE WORLD?

Our very own Timber brother gets a 107ist focused article up on "In Bed with Maradona" soccer blog.

All eyes will be on the prematch handshake at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to see whether Rio Ferdinand will shake the hand of the person accused of racially abusing his brother.

Rio is said to be furious at the way the FA is standing besides John Terry despite his impending court case, while in contrast, he was banned for nine months but the FA for missing a drugs test.

Dwight Howard's wish list is growing. The superstar center for the Orlando Magic is now open to playing for the Chicago Bulls. Previously, Howard had left the Bulls off of his wish list.

"If I could play with Derrick right now and God wanted that to happen, it will happen. It has nothing to do with me not wanting to play with Derrick Rose.

Wallowing in the glory of Henry's movie-moment comeback was not meant to last all week, but for me it has. The YouTube video I breathlessly uploaded at about midnight on Monday has now had about 37,000 hits (and Analytics tell me 90.6% of those who watched it were male, with 9.7% female how do they know this I wonder – though my brother did confidently predict that he had watched it "about 28,000 times" so maybe there's some truth in that).

There's a report that Newcastle United are keeping tabs on three of their Dutch targets on the continent. Siem de Jong 22 year-old older brother of Luuk The three are attacking midfielder Siem de Jong and strikers Luuk de Jong and Ricky van Wolfswinkel, and of those three Dutchman, the only one we haven't [.

Now it seems the agent of Demba Ba is talking about the transfer negotiations they are involved in, to sell Newcatsle's Demba Ba. The Demba Ba management team is now headed by his brother, but Armand Doorn is a member of that team and he said today that Mancsheter United were one of the clubs interested in [.

The FA recently condemned Liverpool's Luis Suarez to a life of being labelled a racist, but when it comes to their own employees, they shy away from taking any kind of action. Case in point: In September 2011, FA Council member Peter Brown sent a racist email to his brother from a dedicated FA email account.

Sammy Ameobi, the 19 year-old younger brother of Shola, is one of the young guns who came through big time under Alan Pardew last year. Sammy Ameobi what a goal this lad scored at Scunthorpe! Along with other youngsters like Haris Vuckic, Shane Ferguson, Mehdi Abeid and James Tavernier we expect these youngsters to come through at Newcastle this coming year.

It's my blog and I can do what I want at any time - and at this time I want to boast, boast, boast!

Enoch Balotelli remember the name, Actually, to be honest, it's not an easily forgettable one, is it? Well, the 19-year-old Italian has followed his more famous brother over to England in an attempt to get himself a contract with Stoke City.

Result! This might just be the best news OTP has heard all year. The Premier League is set to double its Balotelli quota after Stoke handed a trial to Mario's brother Enoch. The 19-year-old played in the Potters' reserve match at Burton Albion this week after spending three weeks training with the club.

"I am sorry but it is true. I like quiet music like that. All that loud music with all the volume gives me a pain in the head. Sometimes (my brother) Kolo tells me, 'Yaya, you're stupid. You are big and strong and when people see you on the field or on the street they will be scared of you, so why are you listening to this silly music?

Sammy Ameobi will in all likelihood start in place of the suspended Jonas Gutierrez on the left wing against Chelsea this afternoon. Sammy Ameobi 6'3″ promising Newcastle winger It's obvious from what Sammy says that he's been brought up in a good family, and it also seems his older brother Shola has had a massive influence on him.

Liverpool are set to rival La Liga outfit Sevilla in the hunt for FC Twente sensation Ola John, after stepping up their scouting of the Dutch Under-21 international.
John has emerged as one of the Eredivisie's rising stars after a whirlwind 18 months which has seen him make his first-team debut and snub moves to both Manchester United and Arsenal.

I'm sure most of you will be aware of the wonderful books about Fulham produced by Ken Coton & Martin Plumb through the Ashwater Press imprint. They've had some issues of late trying to engage with the club and this has put them in a difficult position regarding the production of future books. This would be a crying shame as Ken and Martin have produced most of the very best books about Fulham, and certainly filled the void that exisited from the official side for many years.

Twitter might be the demise of the modern athlete, if only by allowing them the medium to do and say stupid shit before their agent and/or PR team can get in the way of a speeding bullet. Adelaide United's Anthony Golec learned this little lesson after one of his tweets, originally designed to be a joking private message to his brother (he says) regarding less than ebullient feelings toward a referee, landed on the whole big wide internet for the public to see.

Coming soon to a cinema/Tesco near you, David De Gea in 'How the Grinch Stole Donuts'...

Much as I'd love to take all the credit, the Spotter's Badge for this beauty actually goes to my dear Hermaphrodite brother, who noticed that De Gea's rubbish fluffy chin strap gives him a subtle air of 'Grinchiness' while watching United last night.

My mama always told me that the older brother sets the example for the younger brother. Glenn Gronkowski proved my mama right with his latest tweet. Check out the Glenn Gronkowski picture below in which he decides to dress up like his brother for Halloween.

As you've probably heard by now, Rob Gronkowski apologized for posing with a porn star.

What are the odds John Terry is still England captain at Euro 2012? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

It's been a bad week to be an England centre-half, and that's normally the case only when England are playing. Rio Ferdinand has long been considered the best defender in England but on Sunday he demonstrated he's no longer the best defender in his family.

Fresh from his impressive display against city rivals United on Sunday, Manchester City's Italian striker Mario Balotelli has for the first time spoken out on the fire incident that broke out in his house in the ealr hours of Saturday morning.

The fire was caused by fireworks, however, it is not known who did it or how it happened.

"However, despite criticising media intrusion into players' private lives, Barton hit out at the behaviour of England captain John Terry and Manchester United star Giggs in their private lives.

He said of the latter: "The Giggs issue in any walk of life is not right, the behaviour of the man towards another man, towards his brother.
