Some serious football fixtures demand our attention this weekend, Kickettes. Before settling
down at the foot of our nacho mountain to watch the manhose unfold, we prepared this little
round-up of the stuff that occurred in between our unscheduled naps.

The Laureaus World Sport Awards took place at the Central Hall in Westminster last night. As is
usual with these events, a smattering of footballers turned up to watch Bobby Charlton pick up a
Lifetime Achievement Award and surely what must be the most shocking event of the year so far; Leo
Messi not winning an award he has been nominated for.

In appreciation of the cat who made it onto the pitch at Anfield this evening I felt that it was
about time I drew up another "Best XI". This time it's for players with "cat" in their name.

Another day, another police identity parade
On loan from Arsenal, where he struggled to live up to the (self-inflated) hype surrounding his
ability, Nicklas Bendtner has been nothing more than average for Sunderland so far this season.

At the time of writing, no side in Europe's top five leagues has made as few tackles per game
as Wolves (15.4) or as few interceptions (11.9).
For a team that gained a reputation as being tough and uncompromising last season, these are
startling statistics.
Although Wolves do fare quite well in the possession stakes, averaging 50.

For the majority of us mere mortals, it's the season to be jolly and maybe a bit drunk, but for
footballers, Christmas is often the season to go off the rails completely.
The Sunderland duo of Nicklas Bendtner and Lee Cattermole are the latest stars to get up to no
good in the festive period.
Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland, White Hart Lane, Sunday 18th December, 3pm Kick
off
So on Thursday night Spurs European adventure for this season came to an end, despite a 4-0 win
at Shamrock. The perceived wisdom is that this is a blessing in disguise and can leave Harry
Redknapp and his team to concentrate on getting Spurs back into the Champions League.
Sunderland duo Nicklas Bendtner and Lee Cattermole have been arrested on suspicion of criminal
damage. The incident relates to damaged caused to cars Stowell Street, in Newcastle city centre, on
6 December. The pair, both aged 23, were arrested yesterday before later being bailed. A
Northumbria police spokesman said: "Police can confirm that on 15 [.
Featured player Nicklas Bendtner played the 90 minutes as Sunderland put on a brave performance at
Old Trafford this afternoon against Manchester United. Sunderland set out in a 4-4-2
counter-attacking system against Man-U with N.B-52 and Connor Wickham upfront but the later was
stretchered off early on due to a injury replaced by Ji Dong Won.
Darren Bent's first return to Wearside since his switch to Aston Villa has dominated the
headlines, but Steve Bruce will more concerned with trying to find what would only be his third
home win of 2011.
Alex McLeish is coming off the back of two losses; one far from unexpected, the other extremely
disappointing.

Sunderland's combative midfielder Lee Cattermole has apparently cultivated something of a
persecution complex judging by his latest comments.
The 23-year-old hardman, who has picked up only 47 bookings and five red cards since
2005/06 in domestic football said: "I feel like they (referees) are out there for me at the
minute.
Liverpool's Strikeforce: Luis Suarez & Andy Carroll
I should have spent more time on Sunderland in my preview of their match versus Liverpool, but I
didn't want to make it a season preview. They definitely need to add attacking options and put a
leash on Lee Cattermole. But Stéphane Sessègnon is impressive; Ahmed Elmohamady, Kieran
Richardson & Gyan are all big factors, and their back line was well organized, essentially making
Andy Carroll irrelevant.
Liverpool endured a frustrating opening day setback as Sunderland show resilience and courage with
a touch of class from their new signing.
Liverpool showed off all their new major signings in front of their home crowd. For the first half
Liverpool looked dangerous and inventive with Suarez forcing Richardson into a bad back pass which
the striker pounced on and rounded the keeper; only to be brought down by Richardson.
Shay Given has ended his Manchester City nightmare with a £3 million move to Premier League
rivals Aston Villa.
The Ireland goalkeeper, who signed for City from Newcastle in an attempt to win trophies, has
been a frustrated figure this season after losing the number one jersey to England goalkeeper Joe
Hart.
Gossip Gordon has come out of retirement to address the pressing matters of the transfer market.
Gordon knows that half of these rumours are probably made-up by the cleaner at The Sun or, in a
bygone era, were probably found out by certain chaps listening in on intimidate phone calls between
Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer.
Steve Bruce insists Liverpool have made no indication that they want Lee Cattermole, despite
ongoing speculation over the midfielder's future.
Cattermole was linked to the Black Cats at the start of the summer, but Liverpool then negotiated a
big-money deal for Jordan Henderson. However, speculation surrounding Cattermole refuses to go
away.
Bruce in dark over Catt talk
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce admits he is in the dark about by reports linking midfielder Lee
Cattermole with Liverpool.

Black Cats boss Steve Bruce has handed his recent signing from Manchester United the armband,
delivering a massive blow to the tenacious Cattermole.

Whilst still struggling to the cope with the loss of John O'Shea and Wes Brown to Sunderland,
we've had a chat with Collin Randall from the excellent Mackem blog, Salut Sunderland, about their
new signings.
Scott the Red: Are you pleased with the signings of Wes Brown and John
O'Shea?
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is considering bidding for Sunderland's £10 million-rated
midfielder Lee Cattermole.
Dalglish is keen to bolster his midfield with young English talent and is an admirer of both
Cattermole and his Sunderland team-mate Jordan Henderson, who is valued at £14 million.
Not just back-to-back wins, back-to-back 3-0 wins. How about that? And one of them was
away. These are heady times we live in.
Sunderland looked like a team with no forwards and no interest. When you play against a midfield
containing Cattermole and Henderson you expect to have a battle on your hands, but according to the
BBC Sunderland committed precisely one foul in the whole of the first half.
Dirk Kuyt and Luis Suarez fired Liverpool to victory at Sunderland as the Reds made amends for
their beachball disaster on Wearside last season.
Kuyt set the visitors on their way with 33 minutes gone when he converted a hotly-disputed penalty,
and Suarez completed the job with 13 minutes remaining.

It wouldn't be Liverpool-Sunderland of recent years without a refereeing controversy. Last season's
fixture saw the infamous beach ball.
Liverpool will be hoping there are no beach balls on the pitch when they visit the Stadium of Light
on Sunday.
The last time they faced the Black Cats at the Wearside venue, the now departed Darren Bent's
winning goal famously deflected into the net off such a piece of beach equipment.
But even if there aren't any beach balls, boss Kenny Dalglish knows there is a potential banana
skin to avoid, given the Reds have lost all three of their Premier League away games directly
following a Europa League matchday this season.

Just Football's 'Gems of the Lower Leagues' series continues now with a
look at the Championship striker currently banging in the goals for Watford. Making his JF debut,

promotion.
Ives Galarcep reports that U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley could be headed to
the English Premier League, whose sixth-place Sunderland is lining up an offer to his German club,
Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Bradley is seen as a possible replacement for captain Lee Cattermole, who has been

Junior, moving with ball against Colombia...will he be moving without it soon?
A Fox Soccer reported suggested Michael Bradley could be the cat's meow at Sunderland FC in the
Barclays.
Lots happening over the last week or so it's time for Project 2010 to help you catch up:
The big move to report is Jermaine Jones to Blackburn. The American
midfielder has joined the club on loan for the duration for the season, although Blackburn are
supposedly saying they'd like to make the loan deal permanent at the end of the season.
Just days after Jermaine Jones made the move from the German Bundesliga to the English Premier
League, now comes word a U.S. teammate of Jones could be joining him in the EPL.
Sunderland is lining up a transfer bid for U.S. World Cup midfielder Michael Bradley. The Black
Cats are believed to be looking for a potential replacement for Lee Cattermole, who is battling a
back injury and is drawing transfer interest from the likes of Liverpool, and Bradley could be just
the player to solidify the midfield for Steve Bruce's side.
The TSG Sis is in from the middle of Nowheresville, Africa...so hiatus till Tuesday.
