So Tomas Rosicky finally appears to be on the mend and his cameo at Eastlands was evidence enough that he can still do a fantastic job for the club, scoring as he did minutes after being introduced. This is his other half Radka Kocurova, and she looks pretty good. Further images of her wearing literally nothing can be seen by CLICKING HERE!

For not including Jeremiah White in the roster for the Denmark friendly:

This, my friends, is a bush league maneuver.
Now, nobody is suggesting White should be thrust into the World Cup frame suddenly - but to not even call the guy into camp for a game at his club's home park is an overt slap in the face.

A day in the life of Chris Wingert with a special cameo by our man Dunny. I always love these personality pieces...nice to know that these guys are real people.

Rafa interested in Bundesliga player swap.

Portsmouth Vs Liverpool Tickets Still Available!

Liverpool are apparently keen to swap Ryan Babel for Werder Bremen's Aaron Hunt (no word yet as to how Werder feel about it) (Guardian)

Ryan Babel it an enigma that continues to sway public opinion among Liverpool fans.

Splinters are very painful. Ask Alexander Hleb's arse. He sits on the bench so often at Barcelona his arse gets splinters all the time.
The six minute cameo he had tonight gave his arse a welcome break from the ninety minute splintering it usually receives. And what a six minute cameo it was.

Kids and their youtube crack me up! Yesterday a player I coach in my Online Soccer Academy, 9 year old Andrew Little, sent me a message to my MontzTV account on youtube with a link to his belly dance video. It's great! Best 39 seconds of the day I will have for sure!

Not to mention there was a surprise cameo by Ginge Talks the Footy's cat Mr.

2009 has not been the kindest year to DaMarcus Beasley, but the midfielder's appearance in Rangers' 2-1 victory on Saturday was a step in the right direction.

Beasley came off the bench at halftime in Rangers' league match against St. Mirren, marking the first time Beasley has seen the field in league play this season.

Great job, England. Here I am 3,000 miles away from the action every Saturday, generally watching the Premier League inside the confines of a nice high pressure system (weather, why weather?). Even the snow here in Boston has started to die down in recent years (admittedly, though, this past winter was quite a winter wonderland).

The rain poured down and Roy Hodgson's black and white army marched on deeper into Europe. Goals from the impressive Dickson Etuhu and two from Andrew Johnson saw Fulham home, 3-0, 6-0 on aggregate. How good does that sound?

The first ten minutes was a crowded affair with little control and several tempers lost.

Yossi Benayoun was superb in his 20 minute cameo against Spurs yesterday and looked like the only Liverpool player on the pitch who was capable of creating anything. After his excellent contribution last season, Benayoun should be starting every game but he continues to be ignored by Rafa Benitez.
I really can't understand why Benayoun didn't start at White Hart Lane; he really came into his own last season and the momentum he built up should have been allowed to continue.

Amazingly enough, there's bad injury news coming out of the Arsenal camp today. In his brief Wednesday cameo, Eduardo apparently injured his groin when Rio Ferdinand fell on him, which means he'll definitely miss tomorrow's game against Portsmouth and possibly miss Tuesday's game against United. There's a big probability that we'll need to score 3 or more goals on Tuesday to advance, so we could really use a clinical finisher like Eduardo in the lineup.

As you probably know if you've been reading this blog over the past few months, my school went on strike during the winter, which has caused my exam stress to be in late May instead of mid April. While my thoughts have been on Toronto FC as much as ever, I have been spending much more time labouring over economics than writing about the beautiful game.

Back to the drawing board!

Why is it that too many of our players instinctively opt for a backwards ball? That was what I found myself repeating to myself as the game wore on and our performance got progressively worse. Secondly can anyone tell me why Yossi Benayoun didn't start the game?

The stakes were still high for Saturday's D.

If you didn't like that pun I apologize. I thought it was pretty good. Then again, puns tend to annoy a lot of people. Why? I don't know. It's not like it is the lowest form of humour. That would be sarcasm. "Yeah, right!" (said Samuel Johnson)
Anyway, the title is in reference to tomorrow's Champions League opener game against Liege.

When we last left Jose Mourinho's tongue, it was being stuck out at the crowd after an injury time winner against Udinese. Here it makes another appearance, albeit just a cameo, after Inter's second goal against Livorno on Sunday, accompanied by some kind of Michael Jackson type hand motion.

If the Chicago Fire were hoping for reinforcements to bolster their chances against New England in Saturday's second leg playoff match, they'll have to look beyond Gonzalo Segares. The defender is currently listed as out for the upcoming do-or-die encounter set for Saturday at Toyota Park.

WTF?

Can someone please try to explain to me what is going on? Rafa Benitez bought a footballer who was suffering from a long term injury, in fact he invested £20m (albeit in installments) in said player, and yet when he finally gets himself fit and ready for action, he isn't picked!

Some people just would not listen, but I always told you Andy Keogh was a good player.
So how poetic it was that the win which will define Wolves' season had the young Irish striker as its focal point.
Over 99 league appearances, no other Wolves player has so polarised opinion in the Mick McCarthy era.

Like kissing your sister, as long as your sister isn't hot, or a good kisser.

The thing you'll hear most from any reports you're bound to read about this match is that Josh Wicks did well, and RSL bunkered. Honestly, that's about all I could tell you about it, too. DC started out bad, and finished bad.

Ready to pounce here, preparing to swoop there: there's genuine hope that Arsenal's summer business is beginning to be done.

Clearly, the most likely and immediate incomer is defender Thomas Vermaelen, due we are told for a medical tomorrow.

All he needs to prove to Tony Colbert is that he hasn't got balsa legs and the deal should be done.

Harry's been a busy man!

Peter Crouch

Already shown what he is capable of in his short cameo spells on the pitch, most effectively last weekend against Birmingham. Sure to be a good partner for Jermain Defoe but can't quite annexe Robbie Keane from the winning side just yet.

Good morning,

another day another Arsenal match. Tonight we kick off our Champions League campaign with a trip to Belgium to play Standard Liege. Last time we played these chaps was in November 93 on the way to Paris 94 in the Cup Winner's Cup and we spanked them 7-0 (including this goal by Eddie McGoldrick).

Alan Shearer came. But he couldn't conquer the Blues.

It remains to be seen if The Messiah will, in fact, be Newcastle's savior this season. On Saturday's evidence, a 2-0 loss to Chelsea, he'll need to do more than just turn water into wine.

The Blues overturned a drab first-half performance over the final 40 minutes to see off the Magpies in Shearer's first game in charge.

Chi-towners and those who have managed to hold onto that portion of your money once known as "discretionary income"...are you going to Lollapalooza? I would love nothing more than to see Depeche Mode, The Gaslight Anthem, Band of Horses, Kings of Leon, and one million other bands that I am too lazy type right now but I plan on being broke this summer so the wife can take a few months off with the kids.

Uli Hoeness predicted that this championship won't be decided on goal difference, but rather that someone would slip up, and he was right albeit in the wrong places.

Hannover 0-5 Wolfsburg. Except for the sell out crowd there was nothing really derby-ish about this game (and then, the last match at home usually tends to be a sell out anyway).

Celtic had a clutch. They watched the Roar's game for most of the first half. Then double-d-clutched. From fast to fast to faster still. They saw the Roar playing their tight places, short passing game. And just nipped in and pitched the ball in Brisbane's half. Twice in some few minutes.

Why fly from Boston to Philly when you can save yourself the hassle of the airport by taking Amtrak? With four MLS teams set up along the Acela route next season you'll probably see more teams and fans taking to the rails to take in away games. Also, keep your eyes peeled for a cameo by Red Bull Arena in the clip above.

OK, I think it's gotten out of control now. Not my constant posting of Beckham-related video because that sh*t is a traffic goldmine only rivaled by posts whose titles contain a combination of the words "hot" and "teen" in a way that could get you an unwanted cameo on "To Catch A Predator".

One talented Spaniard may be heading for the Anfield exit door but Liverpool's most valuable import insists he has never been happier.
Fernando Torres will return to his homeland for tomorrow's friendly against Espanyol looking to build up his match sharpness ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Jozy Altidore had not stepped on the field at the club level in over seven months, but that did not stop him from making an immediate impact in his Hull City debut.

Against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday, Altidore entered the match in the 60th minute, and one minute later he delivered the game-winning assist in the 1-0 victory.

In the sprinkling rain at RFK, DC United attacked the Galaxy goal, strung together passes in the midfield, and played strong enough in the back to not concede. Unfortunately, United's finishing and final third passing let them down, and the 22k in attendance had to settle for a goalless draw.

This team has been nothing this season if not frustrating.

The fly on the wall in Rafa Benitez's office at Melwood on Thursday will certainly have a story to tell.
Ryan Babel had some serious explaining to do following his return from international duty.
The Dutchman's outburst while he was away with his national side was as ill advised as it was nonsensical.

Rewind to May 2006 and a balmy night at the Madjeski Stadium. Two teams of ex-footballers, celebrities and other stars had turned out for a light-hearted charity match to raise money for the Bobby Moore Fund bowel cancer charity and the Red Cross.

Some uplifting news for the Liverpudlians. Stevie G is ready to rock n' roll against City this weekend. Will Liverpool join the list of clubs that have stuck it to City?

Personally, I think Liverpool played well against Birmingham - they faltered familiarly on set pieces but overall they were a number of positives.

Better than whole of Togo

As it losing to Sunderland on Saturday was not bad enough, now I got to find out that the other North London team was involved in setting a new record for the highest scoring match in Premiership history. I can see it now, the headlines in all online advertisements.

Jay DeMerit made a second half appearance in Watford's 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers on Monday, completing his comeback from eye surgery.

DeMerit was subbed in at halftime, and helped Watford post a scoreless second half en route to a 3-1 win that pushed Watford to sixth place in the Coca Cola Championship.

Critics of Arsene Wenger often accuse him of having a utopian view of football which can never realistically be put into action. They point to events like our defeat to Chelsea and argue that this is evidence, that playing beautiful passing football does not work as it is 'powder-puff' and the bigger teams can simply bully Arsenal.

It was 1-1 when I arrived in the mad dash from the west-side, and I understand that the Italian Wizard put the ball in the back of the net for the early goal.
It was clear that Deportivo Armenia had studied our game from our earlier encounters. Not that they played anti-football, but it was close.

Like the hard fist of Beowulf smashing repeatedly into the sternum of a cringing, slobbering Grendel...actually, hold that thought. Fifteen games into a do-or-die season with Pro Vercelli, it's time to confront an icy truth. Since I came to the club, we've done well. We've earned multiple promotions, done a cameo in the Champions League, and established ourselves as the fifth-richest club in Italy.
