English Football League Championship side Burnley FC has unveiled its PUMA 2011/12 away kit. The new strip will be used for the club's Championship and cup matches away from Turf Moor during the 11/12 season with the Clarets just missing out on the promotion playoffs at the end of the 10/11 campaign.

"In The FA Cup 5th Round United Will Face.

Tottenham's Premier League match with Everton on Saturday has been postponed because of the riots in London.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said he was "positive" the other nine games in the opening round of top-flight fixtures would go ahead. And prime minister David Cameron suggested they could kick off earlier than scheduled to assist the police.

Thomas Hitzlsperger marked his long-awaited debut and opened the scoring for West Ham against Burnley in the FA Cup Fifth round last night, firing home from the edge of the area with a trademark Hitzlsperger™ of a strike...

My, how West Ham could have done with a few more of those this season.

Actually, it was a bit more dramatic than that, as Rochester Rhinos' goalkeeper Neal Kitson scored this stoppage-time equalizer last Sunday evening to give the Rhinos a 2-2 draw with Antigua Barracuda FC in a USL Pro match.

It's unlikely Kitson will get on the scoresheet again anytime soon (he's the first Rochester 'keeper ever to score), but he'll be trying to keep the Harrisburg City Islanders off the score sheet when the two teams meet this Saturday at 5:30pm ET on the first telecast of the USL Pro Game of the Week on Fox Soccer.

Leeds United have today banned a 63-year old great-grandmother from attending matches at Elland Road for twelve months after she took to the pitch following the club's final game of the season against Burnley in May.

Video? This way.

At the time, Margaret Musgrove (grandmother of 13 sprogs, great-grandmother of three) was handed an automatic ban and had her season ticket seized after stewards hauled 5'4″ pensioner off the pitch and into the stadium's holding cells later releasing her without charge.

For comparison, here's last year's version
versus club:
• Chelsea (1st --> 2nd) = +6
• United (2nd --> 1st) = 0
• Arsenal (3rd --> 4th) = +2
• Tottenham (4th --> 5th) = -3
• City (5th --> 3rd) = +1
• Villa (6th --> 9th) = 0
• Everton (8th --> 7th) = -5
• Birmingham (9th --> 19th) = +3
• Blackburn (10th --> 15th) = -1
• Stoke (11th --> 13th) = -1
• Fulham (12th --> 8th) = +5
• Sunderland (13th --> 10th) = +1
• Bolton (14th --> 14th) = 0
• Wolves (15th --> 17th) = -1
• Wigan (16th --> 16th) = -1
• West Ham (17th --> 20th) = -3
• Relegated/Promoted 1 (Burnley 18th --> Newcastle 12th) = -3
• Relegated/Promoted 2 (Hull 19th --> West Brom 11th) = -1
• Relegated/Promoted 3 (Portsmouth 20th --> Blackpool 19th) = -3
Better against most top sides, primarily Chelsea and Arsenal.

Burnley rightly attracted much praise throughout their lone season in the top echelon even if the plaudits were directed more towards the way the club was run than any on pitch achievements (that never to be forgotten win over Manchester United notwithstanding). Having recouped more than the money they paid for their only serious investment, Steven Fletcher and retained the kernel of the squad

The departure of Owen Coyle 12 months ago has so far proved to be too big an obstacle for Burnley to recover from. Since the Scot left for the bright lights of Bolton, the club has slipped from its short-lived stint among the country's elite and back into the Championship, and an underwhelming first half of this season led to Coyle's successor, Brian Laws, being relieved of his duties.

New Burnley gaffer Eddie Howe – who is, despite his sixth-form schoolboy looks, all of 33 years old – poses for the obligatory "wearing my new club's scarf proudly" shot. Howe is a fine young manager who will one day manage in the Premier League (I'd wager), and Burnley's gain is Bournemouth's loss.

Football goes all highbrow for a change Now let's face it, if you took the average footballer and put him on Question Time, it would be akin to giving a chimpanzee an abacus and asking him to do your tax return, although it would bring an often needed element of comedy to the show.

Obviously, the two signings have been announced, with WBA's Miller reportedly on the cusp of being officially announced!

"It really bugs me", an exasperated Paul Calf once exclaimed. "They say, 'Oh, David Beckham - he's not very clever.' Yeah. They don't say, 'Stephen Hawking — he's a bit shit at football.'" Many a true word is spoken in jest, and Steve Coogan's mulleted Man City fan may have been onto something.While adored and idolised for their abilities on the pitch and for their "intelligence" in terms of

Brace yourselves, everybody, because it's FA Cup fourth-round weekend in England (from here on out known as the tremendous thirty-two). The FA Cup is the most exciting tournament in the country, and there's always the chance for huge upsets in every round. We've got our share of big matches: Everton host Chelsea at Goodison Park in what looks to be the choicest fixture of the round.

After a frustrating festive season, with games abandoned and Forest left behind by a group of sides, few would have dared to dream of the consistency shown since and the position in the table that Forest now occupy. Is this a sustainable promotion charge that Forest are entertaining? [...]

Chelsea held over heavy Liverpool pressure to win the FA Cup for the seventh time, and their fourth in six years, as they beat Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley today thanks to Ramires's first-half goal and a landmark strike by Didier Drogba.

Chelsea got off to a great start when Ramires scored after 11 minutes.

Non-League Crawley have got a dream tie against Manchester United in the 5th Round of the FA Cup.

Draw in Full
West Ham v Burnley

Man City or Notts Co v Aston Villa

Stoke v Brighton

Birmingham v Sheff Wed

Leyton Orient v Arsenal

Everton or Chelsea v Reading

Man Utd v Crawley

Fulham or Tottenham v Bolton

Edin Dzeko's late equaliser earned Man City a replay at Eastlands which ought to ensure their place in the 5th round of the FA Cup, meaning that's where we'll almost certainly be heading. It wasn't the re-match with the Blues many fans feared or hoped for, but it's far from ideal.

I suppose there is still the chance that Notts County could beat City, but it's slim.

Hmm, 3-2 loss at the Boleyn Ground in the FA Cup, feeling slightly unlucky to have not finished with a draw or even sneaking a win. Deja vu? Much? A little bit I guess!

The FA Cup fifth round draw threw up some fairytale ties for England's lower league sides, most notably for non-league side Crawley Town who were paired with Premier League leaders Manchester United...

Crawley Town became the first non-league team to reach the fifth round in 17 years after disposing of League Two side Torquay United 1-0 in round four and will be banking on a cash windfall as they travel to The Theatre of Dreams for the first time ever.

In the latest round of Premier League fixtures something rather unusual happened. We were treated to three unusual goal scorers: Wayne Rooney, Peter Crouch and Robbie Keane, players who had only scored three league goals between them before Tuesday.

As I imagine you'd have noticed, the 2010/11 Premier League season has been uncharacteristically quiet for these three hit-men.

As a follow on from my post earlier this week regarding the South Wales derby never producing a double for either side I thought I'd take a look at "the double" (the double being one side winning both home and away legs during a league season) in a slightly wider context. The statistics used in the following do not include games in the 2010/2011 season.

Quick trivia question: who's the leading free-kick goal scoring team in the EPL?

Give up? Wigan.

Buried in a thread in FOF about substitutions was TonyGilroy's observation that free kick goals are down this year. Well, he's correct. According to the treasure trove football-lineups.

Just as we dared get a bit hopeful with Cardiff dropping points against Burnley we've gone one worse and managed to come away from Scunthorpe with a big fat zero points. Only one other team has managed to do that this season, so it's a considerable achievement, and not one the boys will relish. A very frustrating evening where a first half goal for the home side was enough to clinch the tie [.
