Bad Beat Bob undies sell out Remember Robbie Blake's goal celebration when he pulled down his
shorts to reveal a pair of pants with the slogan Bad Beat Bob? Well, Burnley made the smart move of
getting 50 pairs into the club shop - and they have all sold out. The club has now got the
underwear [...
Ex-Chelsea full-back is hugging the touchline again Since Roman Abramovich's millions arrived, you
expect to see a few familiar faces scattered around Stamford Bridge on matchday. What you don't
expect is to find former Chelsea and England full-back Graeme Le Saux working as a pitchside
photographer, complete with back-to-front baseball cap, fluorescent vest and huge camera.
Three Arsenal players have temporarily left Arsenal for the African Cup of Nations, which will take
place between January 20th and February 10th.
Alex Song earned a call-up to the Cameroon national team after some impressive Carling Cup
performances as a center back. The 20 year-old, who has made 10 appearances this season, has not
yet earned his first cap, but will be hoping to do so during the Cup of Nations this January and
February.
Striker shows off his undies after scoring Burnley forward Robbie Blake showed off a pair of
personalised pants after scoring a midweek goal against Coventry. The striker had been given a pair
of red undies with bearing the slogan 'BAD BEAT BOB' due to his dismal record in the Clarets' poker
sessions.
Arsenal travel to the Turf Moor on Sunday to face Championship side Burnley in the third round of
the FA Cup.
The Pride of Lancashire, who have been under the management of former Falkirk boss Owen Coyle since
late November, will likely face an understrength Arsenal side, as Gunners boss Arsene Wenger tends
to blood young players in England's cup competitions.
Is it just another partnership or is it going to be giving Burnley the reigns at an existing or
future MLS club? It is clear Burnley are interested in tapping future US talent but what exactly
will they be doing here in the States?
This would be a good question for Ask The Commissioner.
Chelsea Football Club announced today the start of an unprecedented initiative to partner with
Americas top youth football clubs.
Chelsea is beginning to build a network of top youth clubs across America to develop Chelsea Soccer
Schools, a new Tournament called the Chelsea Sevens, coaching clinics and exchange programmes.

Arsenal's reserves taken down a peg or two There is no point getting us all excited by thrashing
Sheffield United and Wigan if you are going to lose to Burnley. And Lukas Fabianski - one of the
stars of the young Gunners campaign thus far - handed the Clarets their opener by very kindly
pushing the [.
Arsene Wenger yesterday admitted that his side were lucky to scrape through to the FA Cup fourth
round after staggering to a victory against Burnley. Goals from Eduardo and Bendtner pulled the
Gunners out of the mire and after the game Burnley gaffer Owen Coyle said: "That was a compliment
coming from someone like [.
These days no one speaks much about Andy Cole. After all the former Manchester United and England
international striker is now in the twilight of his career. In fact, the former Premiership and
UEFA Champions League winner himself is contemplating retirement from football. Sky Sports quotes
Cole as saying: I really want to try and finish on [.
The Cary News' Tim Candon is at it again this week, churning out another three articles on soccer
and the RailHawks for this week edition. At CaryNews.com you'll find:
- Pipeline Dreams - RailHawks host Burnley as a part of exploring a mutually beneficial
relationship between the U.S. and English clubs
- Striker swap pays dividends - Diallo assists in each of first two matches
- A passion for Burnley burns in Dave - England native hasn't missed a Clarets' match since
1974
If you read nothing else about soccer this week, you've got to read the last article on Dave
Burnley.
Blues shocked by Clarets Featuring a wonderful solo goal from Didier Drogba, an equaliser from a
very happy Ade Akinbiyi and a missed penalty from John Obi Mikel to hand victory to Burnley.
Ex-Arsenal striker has the arguing skills of a six-year old Award-winning journalist Ian Wright has
used his column in The Sun to spring to the defence of Chelsea coin-thrower Didier Drogba. The
former England international claims: "Didier Drogba could have been blinded or even killed by
the Burnley morons who pelted him with coins the other [.
Below is the complete draw for the Last 8 stage of the Carling Cup: Stoke City v Derby County
Manchester United v Blackburn Rovers Burnley v Arsenal Watford v Tottenham Hotspur
The draw for the semi-finals of the 2008/2009 Carling Cup have been announced. Current holders
Tottenham Hotspur will take on Burnley, while Manchester United faces Derby County. The semi-finals
will be a two leg affair. The first leg will be played on January 5th and the return leg on the
19th. So I guess it'll be an [.
I woke up on Wednesday morning worn out from working at a nightclub on New Years Eve, and ever so
slightly hungover from the champagne.
The prospect of West Brom at home did not encourage me to get out of bed!
Since Charlton away we have drawn at home to Scunthorpe and Burnley, the latter being the most
dismal game I have seen in long while, and lost away in two equally appalling performances at
Leicester and Coventry.
A young Arsenal side reached the fourth round of the FA Cup after defeating a resilient Burnley 2-0
at the Turf Moor in front of a crowd of 16,000.
Eduardo continued his great run of form by scoring the Gunners' first after 9 minutes and supplying
the pass for Nicklas Bendtner's first and Arsenal's second in the 75th.
Firstly it's been a bad week if your team has been beaten.
Secondly, David Norris of Ipswich Town for his 'handcuff' celebration after he scored
against Blackpool.
Thirdly, Chris Morgan's elbow on Barnsley's Ian Hume which left Hume with a fractured
skull.
Although the Carling Cup isn't the most prestigious of competitions, with the
football odds suggesting that a Premier League side is bound to lift the trophy. But when a side
from outside the top flight defeats one of the best teams in the country you expect it to receive
some extra media coverage.
Arsenal should be in the Championship. If footy bloggers ruled the universe. Brazil's search for
the country's sexiest fan. Italy's all-refugee football club. Didier Drogba flings currency into
the crowd. Japan's no country for second-string players. Derek Parlane McQueen: The biggest name in
football Steven Appiah's gone from the pitch to the courtroom.
Check out the video above and spend the next five minutes or so in your chair, speakers up
to the max and enjoy the agony of a 64 year old Burnley fan listening to the penalty shoot-out, on
his radio, in the kitchen, in the Carling Cup at Chelsea last Wednesday night.
The footage was taken by the man's son covertly, and the footage covers the agony and the
ecstasy of being a 'home in your kitchen' football fan.
If you took every professional team in English football and compiled an all-time league table that
calculated the number of points the clubs have earned since their existence, which teams would be
at the top? You may be surprised by the findings: Manchester United, 5559 points Liverpool, 5513
Arsenal, 5346 Wolverhampton Wanderers, 5137 Preston North End, 5105 Aston Villa, 5005 Sheffield
United, [.
For the Arsenal to lose 2-0 against Burnley may sound bizarre, but of course, one has to look at
the big picture and appreciate the effort and determination the young ones put into this season's
Carling Cup. I did agree with Wenger's policy to stick with the reserve side and maybe, just maybe,
the only [.
In the summer, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger described Robin van Persie as the new Henry and in the
matches the Dutch international has featured in so far this season for the Londoners, he has been
an important figure. But his injuries have cost Arsenal dear at times though now the Gunners can
heave a sigh [.
Northern Ireland's Glentoran FC recently announced three pre-season friendlies for the month of
July.
Beginning Monday July 14th, Hearts, the Scottish Premier side, journeys to The Oval. Glentoran last
played the Edinburgh club in 1899 which was 109 years ago. Hearts won by a score of a 3-0.
Earlier this week I posted an excerpt of an interview I did with Dan Jewell at 2br, 99.8 FM, a
local radio station in Burnley previewing the Clarets match on Thursday. Dan and I got together
again post-match to recap the RailHawks U23s famous victory and talk a little more about the game
and Burnley's visit to America.
Bundan böyle Arap futbolu denilince akla yukarıdaki fotoğraftaki gibi bir
görüntü gelmeyecek. Bırakın Filistinli çocukları, yakın
coğrafların bile akla gelmesi zor. Zira Premier Lig'in Araplaşması süreci
başladı. En son Manchester City satın alıp, ardından iki günde
Robinho transferini bitiren Doktor gibi isimlerin aldıkları takım sayısı
artacak gibi gözüküyor.

Strange that one particular club is not included in the category of
"Giantkillers!"
Football League - WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER
The draw for Round 4 of the Carling Cup takes place on Saturday and there are no less than eight
Football League clubs left in the competition.
The Carling Cup fourth-round draw took place Saturday, and Chelsea have to be pleased with the
outcome or are they? Our Blues will welcome Championship side Burnley to Stamford Bridge on
November 11 or 12.
We all remember how Chelsea fared against Barnsley in last year's FA Cup. Still, I don't think
this tie will be much of a problem.
Besides our young guns, these are the other remaining teams in the Carling Cup: 1. Blackburn Rovers
2. Burnley 3. Derby County 4. Manchester United 5. Stoke City 6. Tottenham Hotspur 7. Watford 8.
Chelsea Oh no, Wilkins' Chelsea are not there, apologies. There are at least three teams, which if
faced, it will be very interesting for us.
Already a news cycle away, the matter of Didier Drogba's Carling Cup coin-toss at Stamford Bridge
lingers.
Why?
Perhaps the it's the sad fact that, eighteen years shy of the Taylor Report, objects are still
thrown at opposing players in English football stadia. Or that Drogba, in a unique twist to a
familiar story, risked criminal investigation by hurling the coin back.
Drogbacite has been handed a three-match ban for his Robin Hood-like generosity against Burnley
in the Carling Cup last week.
The big Ivorian with a small threshhold for pain chucked a coin into the Burnley fan section, in
hopes of rewarding the poverty-stricken town with a bit of cash for the trip home.
Now there's a headline that you might not usually associate with the Premier League but after an
ugly exchange during Chelsea's Carling Cup match with Burnley last week, Chelsea striker Didier
Drogba will be spending a bit more time on the bench. Injuries have already limited the
Chelsea hit man to just a handful of [.
With the sweet memories of the win over Chelsea fading, the mid-week Carling Cup fixture is upon
us today. But before that, a few more thoughts from this past weekend. While it is a great result
indeed, Arsenal still has much to prove. This is the second win over a "big four" squad
this season, but that doesn't subtract the five losses that this team has already suffered - two
more than last season.
In a very entertaining and open first half, Burnley took full advantage of a Fabiansky mistake to
end the first half ahead at Turf Moor. The match started brightly for Arsenal and after just four
minutes, Nicklas Bendtner was through on goal but his shot was well saved by Jensen, who like
Wigan's Kirkland in the [.
Burnley made history yesterday when they managed to pull off a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the 2008
Carling Cup Semi-Final's in London. After managing to beat Chelsea, another tough team, Burnley
have been this years Cinderella story. Read the complete article at TSN.ca Image: TSN Tags: ,

I fully understand that from what we saw so far, the Carling Cup was a good bite at silverware this
season, but remember, for Arsenal, it's just a prototype of what the regular side is supposed to be
in a season or two. Had we lost a match in which we were outplayed, outpaced and [...]
For years Andy Cole has assaulted opposition defenses and terrorized them and now that he is
nearing that end of his career and failing to do what was once his habit, the former Manchester
United striker appears to be taking his frustration out on his wife. It is reported that he was
arrested on charges [.

Dave McIntyre/Kilburn Times - Money Gorkss for Rangers
QPR were this week expecting to seal the capture of Latvian defender Kaspars Gorkss from Blackpool.
Gorkss, 26, has been targeted by a number of other Championship clubs but Rangers are now close to signing him.
