Arsenal, life, death and play acting.

Untold Arsenal 08 March @ 04:35 AM EDT
This is a story of life and death. And acting. And celebration. It is the story of a club from the Russian Premier League side FC Moscow which has gone bust just a short while after their oligarch owner, a man in the Roman Abramovich league, pulled out, having decided to switch sports.

Hasta El Gol Siempre 07 March @ 08:47 AM EDT
On Saturday, 6th March 2010, Racing Club de Avellaneda gained a new supporter. How much the players know about it I can't say.

Chester City – The End Of The Road & The Rebirth

Twohundredpercent 26 February @ 02:46 PM EDT

Send not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee. The bell tolled for Chester City at just after 2.00 this afternoon. Against the predictions of many myself included the Football Conference made the right decision and expelled Chester City from its organisation. This evening isn't a time for celebration.

The High Comedy of Improvisational Celebrations.

The Offside 22 February @ 10:40 AM EDT
[101gg] Three things happen during this celebration which make it a frontrunner for football's greatest ever goal celebration (provided you weigh chuckles over, say, the tears of Marco Tardelli): i. Cruzeiro's Roger steals and puts on the fox's head. ii. The mascot fights tooth and fox claw to keep the giant fluffy head. Click to continue reading...

Former Captain of La Liga Side, yet Felix Ettien is only Trialist with Sounders FC

Sounder at Heart - Soccer From the Heart of the Sound 20 February @ 01:19 PM EDT

Another week, another trialists. This time it is Felix Dja Ettien. I haven't read the 'net reaction yet. Probably much a flutter over a former captain of a La Liga side (Levante UD) coming in for trial. Sure he fills a need as Right Midfielder, who leans towards the offensive side of things having spent time up top and in the middle as well.

Reaction To Portsmouth

Republik Of Mancunia 08 February @ 07:29 AM EDT

As expected, Manchester United continued on with their great form to thrash struggling Portsmouth 5-0 at Old Trafford.

With Chelsea starting the day with a goal difference which bettered ours by 2, it was really important that we made the most of our chance to score goals.

With Wayne Rooney in the form of his life, you had to believe that was going to be possible.

Five minutes before United opened the scoring today, Dimitar Berbatov missed an absolute sitter. Gary Neville burst in to the box and played in a perfect ball to the Bulgarian, with half the ground on their feet in celebration, only for Berb to fire wide. It was an absolutely dreadful miss.

Just Two Points In It

Republik Of Mancunia 02 February @ 05:48 PM EDT

Ahead of the weekend, there are no just two points between us and the top, after Chelsea failed to beat Hull with their game in hand.

We take on bottom of the table Portsmouth at home on Saturday, where a win would see us go top of the league. The following day, Chelsea take on Arsenal, who you imagine would be looking for a big reaction following their dismal display against us at the weekend.

World Cup Moments: When Harald Schumacher Met Patrick Battiston. In Mid-Air.

WorldCupBlog 02 February @ 05:40 PM EDT


The 1982 World Cup semifinal in Seville between France and West Germany was a stunning game of football. It finished 3-3 after extra time, and then West Germany won (as usual) on penalties. Despite those six goals, the semifinal is mostly remembered for just one thing.

PICTURE: Rio Mocks Tevez’s Goal Celebration

Republik Of Mancunia 29 January @ 06:00 AM EDT

Following Carlos Tevez's two goals against Manchester United in the League Cup, he made a 'yapping' motion with his hand, suggesting that Gary Neville was wrong to support the manager in not paying £47m for the Argie prick.

He then did several interviews, claiming United should do their talking on the pitch and called Neville an "idiot".

"It's a derby game, and you like to win your derby games," said Ferguson. "The atmosphere tonight, and the fact it was a semi-final tie, added a lot of spice to the match. And the fact we scored so late in the game brought a special type of celebration.

That's how they do it Down Under Melbourne Victory striker Archie Thompson produced a very special celebration after scoring against Wellington Phoenix. WAGs are a little harder to come by in the A-League, so Thompson had to settle for a corner flag, which in fairness does bear a passing resemblance to Posh Spice. Click to continue reading...

City Player Wind Up Leaves Tevez With Egg On His Face

Republik Of Mancunia 23 January @ 06:30 AM EDT

Carlos Tevez scored two goals against Manchester United in the week to give City a 2-1 lead as we go in to the second leg of the League Cup semi.

The Argie striker shrugged off his celebrating team mates to dedicate his celebration to United captain, Gary Neville.

Tevez admitted that he hadn't actually read what Neville said, given that he hasn't bothered to learn English in his four years living in England, and that his team mates read out the interview.

Carlos Tevez: ‘Gary Neville Is A Boot-Licking Moron’

Who Ate All the Pies 22 January @ 05:47 AM EDT

By Ollie Irish

At last, a player comes out and says what so many fans have been thinking for almost 20 years.

Carlos Tevez called Gary Neville a "boot-licker" and a "moron" in a radio interview with ESPN Argentina:

"My celebration was directed at Gary Neville.

Silent Stan

For Girls Who Can't Do Football 21 January @ 05:05 PM EDT
"Silent Stan" is apparently a nickname for Mr "I own 29% of Arsenal" Kroenke.
It conjures up this image.
But it is more to do with a lack of willingness to talk to the press it would seem.
He has at least one saving grace then.
Arsene seems pretty unfazed at the prospect of him taking over. Click to continue reading...

Carlos Tevez claims ear-cupping not aimed at Fergie

Blame it on the puppet Carlos Tevez claims his ear-cupping celebration of his second goal against Manchester United in front of Sir Alex Ferguson was actually a tribute to a television puppet.

Republik Of Mancunia 20 January @ 04:43 AM EDT

Expect a fine/ban being dished out to Gary Neville by the FA after sticking his finger up at Carlos Tevez following the Argie's goal celebration last night.

Gary Neville had supported the manager in not signing Tevez, which clearly upset our former striker, so much so, that he dedicated yet another celebration to his former club, instead of his current one.

City Should Worry… Not Us

Republik Of Mancunia 19 January @ 05:59 PM EDT

We'll batter them at Old Trafford.

Manchester City were outplayed pretty much from the first whistle to the final whistle on their home turf, and only collected the win because they were awarded a penalty for a foul outside the box.

It wasn't our best performance over the 90 minutes but we still managed to control the game.
