This time last year, I think during another dull international break, I had a look at the reserves and which players will make an impact, albeit in the Carling, on the First Team this season. I thought I would do that again as the only news out of the club at the moment is the scheduled injury to an important back up centre back (Johan Djourou for those who are unaware)

Thanks to a sneaky link on the Guardian website sister, or brother, site Premier League Nonsense has been pulling in the punters over the last 36 hours, outstripping everything in the stable. All very hunky dory I'm sure but will hey return when I do my next piece about classic 70s hair styles?
You know, Ralph Coates, Terry Mancini, George Berry, Alfie Conn.

My brother has had my brain racing since last week when he asked - What are your top 5 all-time Beatles Songs? Of course he knows my love of Top 5 lists - and The Beatles are the best music...

I was surfing around when I came across this article.. Sol has had several accusations of being gay in the past. His brother went to jail for beating a guy up to protect his brother's name. Sol definitely doesn't mind being called gay. He goes on with his life. At times, he makes it clear with pictures [.

Barney Ronay will be a future guest on the EPL Talk Podcast.

Best known to readers as a writer for The Guardian as well as a regular guest on The Guardian's Football Weekly Podcast, Ronay has written a new book entitled "The Manager."

Just because you're the younger brother of John Arne Riise, doesn't give you the right to speak like you are on your brother's level in the footballing world. However, if you're Bjorn Helge Riise, you give off the pompous impression that you're...

Liverpool defender Fabio Aurelio has targeted a return to action in this weekend's clash with Burnley.
Aurelio has yet to play this season, having spent the last few months recovering from a knee cartilage operation.
The Brazilian sustained the knee injury in a kickabout with friends while on holiday in Brazil earlier in the summer.

Ahead of kick-off on Sunday a 'Welcome to Manchester' banner was hung from the East Stand in response to City's poster about Carlos Tevez.

Whilst they were bragging about a striker who'd scored on just five occasions in the league last season, our banner took pride in all the trophies we've won.

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie explained what it was like at the age of 20 to join the Gunners, the help from Kolo Toure in order to settle down and what now means to find himself as the one to provide help and advise to the young ones at the Club.

Speaking to the club's official website, the Dutchman said:

When I first came to Arsenal, I was 20.

Santista Nation,
the game agaist Fluminense wasn't our best performance. We played a weak team that showed why they are in last place in this championship. But a win is always a win and that's what matters. Our goal of being in the next Libertadores Cup is still alive. We are not far at all from the qualifying zone.

Nasser Al Shamrani scored the opener for Arabia, but in the 40th minute my man Abdulla Omar burst in the box and fed Brother Jaycee John. 1-1. It remained 1-1 until the 91st minute, when Hamad Al-Montashari nodded in what looked like the winner. The Kingdom gave all praises to Allah.
But Ismail Abdullatif had other ideas.

Even the presence of newly-crowned US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro - a noted member of the Los Xeneizes family didn't bring Boca Juniors the luck they needed yesterday.

Cristian Chavez scored the decisive 90th-minute winner for Godoy Cruz as they defeated Boca Juniors 3-2 at the Bombonera stadium.

Mexico has released their roster for the upcoming doubleheader at the Cotton Bowl with FC Dallas. Mexico will be taking on Colombia in the 2nd game after FC Dallas faces the New England Revolution at 6 pm. Highlighting the Mexico roster is Barcelona's Jonathan Dos Santos, the 19 year old younger brother of Giovani Dos Santos.

Luisao's younger brother could be on his way to the Luz to sign with Benfica. Andre Silva who will turn 18 in October is also a central defender like his older brother and would join Benfica's junior club as he gets accustomed to European football.

On Wednesday the home office of OTWT received a shocking call from Endy in Outfield. At first I could not believe what I was hearing, it sounded like something tragic had happened. After talking to him, I try to figure out what was going on.
Endy called me to let me know that my father, who is 60 and home recovering after being sick for two months, watched the first half of the Barcelona/Racing Santander match on ESPN.
