An fiercely contested AFC Women's Under-19 Championship soccer match between hosts China and Australia ended with a mass brawl earlier today. According to sportal.com.au: ...following the final whistle, an Australia player fell to the ground while remonstrating with the Chinese, prompting captain Tameka Butt to charge across the pitch and grab the perceived offender.

The most unlikeliest event where you'd ever see violence, the Asian Women's Under-19 Championship witnessed shocking scenes in China last night, where the Australia team were pelted with bottles by a highly charged crowd following a mass brawl at the end of China's match against the Young Matildas.

I'm too excited not to post this just one more time.

Have at it before the video is removed (7+ minutes).

Bayern had to be at its best to keep away Grafite and Dzeko away and Joerg Butt came up with some excellent saves. But the day belonged to Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. The French attacking midfielder who came on in the second half and the Dutch winger in Van Gaal's 4-3-3 formation combined impeccably to rip the Wolfsburg defense with precision passing and clinical finishes.

Have you heard? We first discovered the news about our favourite Party Boy's new love last week. We've compiled a few fascinating and entertaining details and thought we'd share with you in compact bullet-point form.

- It would seem that Nicklas Bendtner is dating Caroline Fleming, a baroness 13-years his senior.

The perennial fifth place Fiorentina sent a stong message yesterday that they want something more by embarrassing Roma 4-1.
My personal goal of the weekend (already) goes to the Viola's Peruvian ace Juan Manuel Vargas for his 6th minute crusher into Roma's net.
Watch it here:
Alberto Gilardino added two more goals for Fiorentina and Massimo Gobbi completed the butt whuppin' with a 73rd-minute tap-in.

"At United we've got quite a few people who are into winding people up," he said. "Wayne Rooney's obviously one of the main culprits, he's involved at all stages of wind-up material.
"Wes Brown or Darren Fletcher are normally the butt of his jokes. Wes now has to check his trainers before he puts them on because they could be sewn in half or the laces are gone.

The steady release of excerpts from Grant Wahl's forthcoming book "The Beckham Experiment" continues to stir interest (and no doubt pre-orders on Amazon) as more behind-the-scenes details from his tumultuous time in LA emerge.
The latest tidbit, that ESPN paid Beckham's management company to produce a one-hour special on Beckham sounds even more crass than the previous charge that Becks was a cheapskate.

There have been a lot of negatives for the senior side of Red Bull NY in MLS play. Everything that I have documented is well known with the amount of wins to the terrible play, a coach and a sporting director that is on their final level of life left before they are shown the door. Even though they did get a breath of fresh air when it comes to the CONCACAF Champions League and a successful first leg match in the qualifying round, there is another side to this story that we can smile about and it's in their Youth Academy.

As reported on this site yesterday Bassong has gone to Spurs and Beye looks likely to be leaving for Hull. Sky Sports is also reporting that 19 year old winger Jonny Godsmark has been loaned to Hereford for 6 months. The club has confirmed that Alan Smith will be captain against West Brom as Nicky Butt [.

We mentioned this a few days ago but when you look at our unbalanced squad we have too many central midfielders. Nicky Butt may be on his way And when you look at who we can cash in on, Nicky Butt shines out like a beacon. While it would be good to keep Nicky because of his [...]

Our next game is in 6 days time at Cardiff, who are 3rd in the league currently, and real promotion candidates this season. Nicky Butt back next Sunday? And Newcastle will take 2,000 fans to that important game and it may be that Nicky Butt comes back into the team, and as captain. Butt last was seen [.

Newcastle manager Chris Hughton talked this morning of bolstering the Newcastle squad shortly, and having Nicky Butt back for the game at Cardiff City on Sunday. Chris and the lads training this week Chris has been talking to Newcastle United TV this morning, and he was asked if he expects to sign some new players soon, and the Londoner replied: [.

David Moyes has followed my example by challenging Steven Pienaar to be the leader of Everton's team, as he is with South Africa.
I gave Pienaar a pep talk last week as well after bringing him into my fantasy Premier League side - and he responded with a star performance in Everton's win, picking up 5 fantasy points - his highest total of the season thus far.

Nicky Butt has talked to day about the need to appoint Chris Hughton as the permanent manager, and has opened the lid on how loud the dressing room is for the Newcastle players. Nicky Butt - talks about manager and music Butt told the Evening Chronicle today: "The team is showing there is belief here, and [.

Lately he's been a man on a mission, and the Republic of Ireland international is hoping to continue his current form. That's right, I'm talking about Aston Villa center back Richard Dunne. The man is doing it all for Aston Villa right now, and it is paying major dividends for his club.

Let's rewind back two weeks you know, before that extremely boring international weekend?

Die Bayern haben ihren Kopf mal wieder gerade so aus der Schlinge gezogen und kamen am gestrigen Freitagabend Spiel zu einem äußerst schmeichelhaften 2:1-Sieg. Die Gladbacher, vorallem Arango, hatten einige gute Chancen gegen die Bayern. Doch Hans-Jörg Butt hatte einen super Tag erwischt und damit stehen die Bayern nun wieder weit oben in der Tabelle.

Well a 2-2-3 week, sends Vasco to 16-8-12 on the season.
The last week of the month gives us nine games this week, Houston has the bye week, and four teams play twice this week, and a bonus US Open cup play in game too, between Dallas and the defending champion DC United.
So lets get started,
Wednesday night, Chivas at Toronto, Toronto hasn't lived up to the hype so far, and Chivas is kicking butt, Chivas in an away win.

We heard Alan Shearer blaming referee Howard Webb last night, for not allowing Mark Viduka's goal yesterday after 50 minutes. Alan Shearer - should rip into his players - not the referee But let's not play the blame game, or the woulda coulda shoulda game. Mark's goal should have been allowed and Nicky Butt should have [.

Spurs defender's presentation skills put to the test Tottenham centre-back Michael Dawson has revealed he is often the butt of changing room jokes. The ex-Nottingham Forest man has been an easy target of fun-poking ever since he arrived at White Hart Lane. He told Hotspur magazine: "The lads seem to think it's funny to play tricks on [.

Well it looks like gritty Alan Smith will again be the captain for the first home game of the season against Reading on Saturday, with the game starting with a strange 5:20 pm kick off time. . Alan Smith captain again against Reading good It looks like Nicky Butt, who required hand surgery after dislocating his [.

Coach Chris Hughton has poi9nted to the influence of match-winner Kevin Nolan after he helped Newcastle United to a 4-3 victory over Huddersfield Town last night at St. James' Park.

2008 beendete Oliver Kahn seine Karriere. Die Nachfolge im Tor des FC Bayern wurde bereits zuvor dem damals hoffnungsvollen Talent Michael Rensing versprochen. Doch Michael Rensing schien mit dem Druck nicht wirklich klar zu kommen; und patzte immer wieder. Vor dem Spiel in der Champions-League gegen den FC Barcelona degradierte ihn dann sein damaliger Trainer zur Nummer Zwei – und der vorherige Ersatztorhüter Hans-Jörg Butt durfte das Tor der Bayern hüten.

Chris hughton makes two changes that sees Nicky Butt come in for the suspended Alan Smith, and Andy Carroll replaces Nile Ranger in the lone attacking role. Smith was sent off in the dying seconds of Sunday's 1-0 win at Cardiff and will serve his one-match ban tonight. Ranger, meanwhile, drops down to the bench at [.

Newcastle manager Chris Hughton makes three changes from the side which was beaten at Blackpool on Wednesday. Alan Smith, Peter Lovenkrands and Geremi are all included in the starting line-up this afternoon. Smith returns from suspension to captain the side at the expense of Nicky Butt, as expected, and Geremi replaces Ryan Taylor while Peter Lovenkrands [.

A few of the articles that have been in Butt's Brain over the past 24 hours...

Sao Paulo managed to hold on to a 1-1 draw against Gremio on Wednesday despite having three players get sent off in the final 15 minutes. Of the three tackles that earned early dismissals, I think the butt kick/head slap combo (15 seconds in) would have to be the most original.

But if you want to see something that will make the above video look like bingo night at the old folks home, check out this clip of the MMA battle between the BYU and New Mexico women's teams.

Chris Hughton makes three changes to the side which won at Sheffield United on Monday night. As expected Steven Taylor returns for Tamas Kadar, Danny Guthrie comes in to give some creativity in midfield in place of Nicky Butt, and Marlon Harewood will get his big chance in front of the Newcastle fans this afternoon.

Two fantasy footie managers spotted on holiday in Hawaii
The paparazzi were out in full force last month in Maui, and this image landed in our mailbox. I guess the Never Captain Nicky Butt Store is quite the exciting marketplace after all.
According to our analytics, we thought our fledgling T-shirt store was about as popular as Google searches for "nude pictures of Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan" but we have been proven wrong.

Lately real life has been getting the way of my Footy and its getting old...but I digress. Since we last talked the Hoops...or not the Hoops...what ever they are called now were going to play Toronto. We all know how that went...followed by losing the cup match to DCU.

The Chivas game. Can I just say what the hell.

This was a while ago, but worth bringing up.
The Tottenham defender got a bit drunk and a bit unruly. The brunt of his abuse was directed at doorman Wahib Butt.

King is said to have bragged about his £80,000-a-week wages and ridiculed England ace Steven Gerrard as "fat" when he learnt Wahib was a fan of the midfielder's club Liverpool.

Despite the fact that the 1st half was slighty boring the Crew came out and kick some major butt in the 2nd. There were some cheap and shady calls especially in the 2nd half where the two potential PK's were not called. C'mon MLS what's the deal with the poor officiating. Chivas scored a piss poor goal after their player foul Brunner and the linesman let it go once AGAIN.

I know most people are generally annoyed when someone takes something off another blog/site and repost it, but hey you've gotta get your stuff from somewhere and you can't always be the lucky blogger who found it first. I try to give credit where credit is do though and this is too good not to post!
I found this little gem on Never Captain Nicky Butt and proves once and for all you should never log on to a social networking site when buzzed and or drunk.

All you have to do is predict Manchester City's opening day (August 15th) starting 11 lineup by sending a tweet to @NickyButt - and the closest guess wins a free EPL footie jersey as well as some Never Captain Nicky Butt gear.
You can only enter via Twitter and the deadline is 24 hours away...
