For much of this season, Spurs number one Brad Friedel has quietly gone about his business and at times, solid performances across the back four have provided him with little to do. When called upon, the American is an uncomplicated keeper who has brought calm between the posts where once there was chaos.

In amongst all the transfer rumour chaos there's a Premier League game to be played tonight and according to Spurs' assistant Joe Jordan, there are a few injury worries ahead of the game with Wigan.

Jordan revealed new doubts over Jermain Defoe and Aaron Lennon, both of whom have picked up fresh hamstring injuries in the last few days.

On Saturday, their home match against Forest Green Rovers was called off at lunchtime, which is unlikely to have done the stricken clubs bank account a great deal of good, and this morning the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph, a local newspaper which has been criticised by some supporters as being too ready in the past to toe the Ladak party line, also stepped off the fence to deliver its viewpoint of the recent difficulties that the club has faced.

Tottenham Hotspurs are continuing their pressure on the Manchester Duo in the top of premier league table after Harry Redknapp's side successfully defeated Everton 2-0 on Wednesday.

Why Capello's reputation rests on the next six months

Redemption time. Or simply confirmation that he was the most expensive failed mercenary ever. For Fabio Capello, the judgement will be made by July 1, stark and clear-cut. The stain of Bloemfontein, of a World Cup campaign that descended into chaos, farce and ultimately humiliation, still lies over Capello's reputation.

On the day Home United travel to Tampines Stadium to battle it out for the SLeague title I can reveal plans for widespread football hooliganism that could bring chaos to public transport and even see houses prices fall. A Singaporean double whammy.

Well, more 'fan attacks', really. Steaua Bucharest defender George Galamaz, busy doing the outrageous thing of living. And then came the fan and chaos soon ensued. A flare not the guy committing assault on another human being permanently ended the match later on.

And don't forget the bonus of Gigi Becali yelling in a language you probably don't understand.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, can take away from the sheer, singular brilliance of Suarez's swirling strike, but I wanted to highlight the contributions of those involved in the build-up, specifically three off-the-ball runs and two cross-field passes. Mostly to ensure they don't get lost in the utter majesty of the finish.

I have a lot of time for Robbie Gaspar. The Aussie midfielder has been in Indonesia yonks and has settled into the chaos with a calmness and equilibrium others would do well to imitate.

Aus gegebenen Anlass betrachten wir heute einmal die Ex-Trainer des Hamburger SV.

Speaking of chaos, we're getting close to the chaos part of the year in the Weekly Rankings. There were a few changes this week due to moves in domestic schedules.

Well another week comes to an end and increasingly the running of Arsenal Football Club is becoming more of an issue than the performances on the field. The clock is ticking and with 12 days left in the transfer window, the likelihood of Arsenal strengthening to the level required to mount a realistic assault upon the Premier League Title appears more bleak as our injury jinx comes back to haunt us.

In the midst of this week's chaos and rioting around England, one good samaritan on Twitter is urging people to stop the violence and help out.

Twitter account @Riotcleanup was started by Dan Thompson, who used the medium to encourage "proud Londoners" to get out and help "reclaim their streets.

Often, when bold remarks from an organization become public, they answer more questions than they raise. When a statement comes across as the one released by Scottish Premier League club Heart of Midlothian over the weekend, including references to blackmail, the mafia, and paedophiles, one must query not only just what exactly that statement is speaking to but also the wisdom of presenting such an announcement as an official club statement.

For one post, I will speak my mind. It will be a sort of verbal diarrhea, because I don't think I'll be containing anything I want to say regarding the Whitecaps coach being dismissed. This post is entitled "Let the Chaos Reign" not only because of my fears of what might happen to the Whitecaps, but also because I won't be talking about just the dismissal of Teitur.

You know an institution is a touch dodgy when the man many are hoping can overthrow its questionable leader, is himself caught in the middle of a bribery scandal. Is this the start of the end for Sepp Blatter, or will it just clear the field for his reign to continue unopposed. Chuck Blazer, who seems to have walked straight out of a Carl Hiaasen novel, has certainly set the cat among the pigeons.

Well, well, the fifth round of play is over in the Allsvenskan and we had two big things happen: the champions lost their first game of the season and there was a scandal. Let me rephrase that: there were two things that happened one major and the other while interesting, less important.

I will start with the scandal (obviously the big thing) first.

As Sons of Ben member Jeremy Sharpe discusses in his newest post at 137 Zomieside, the Sons of Ben are attempting to persuade Questlove of The Roots to come to a Philadelphia Union game.

Welcome to March. That time of the year when we can expect crazy weather here on the East Coast of the United States that varies from snow to torrential rain to sunny and 70 degrees.
