One of the things we liked about Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa before he arrived at Newcastle in January, is that he is a very good leader, both one and off the pitch, and Newcastle need leaders in the team. Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa has good leadership skills Mapou was the captain at Montpellier when they won the French [.

Newcastle United is a huge presence in the north-east of England, and especially of course in the local Newcastle area, where the fortunes of the club have a big impact on just how Geordies feel about things, at any given time, in what is a fanatical area for football. And we've been really impressed with [.

Josh Bone on Tuesday was supposed to get the Ferry across to France at 10:30am, but it was
unexpectedly delayed until 11:30pm and that meant it was impossible for Josh to get much running in
on Tuesday, although he still did 19 miles, and he arrived at 4:00am Wednesday morning across
the English Channel.

Watching Per Mertesacker play, it often appears like a constant challenge for the lanky German to remain upright. But it turns out he's got all kinds of crazy skills in his locker he just doesn't risk them when he's at the heart of the Arsenal defence. A charity match organised by Michael Ballack was [.
Chelsea fans all over the world it's time to come together and support two of our supporters in
their challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to mark it as "Chelsea Territory" and most importantly
of all, to raise money for FOUR tremendous charities: Help a Capital Child, Right to Play
International, Association for Suicide prevention and Save the Children.
Fans who sat through a drab opening 45 minutes in last night's Premier League match between Liverpool and West Brom were at least treated to some entertainment at half-time. As part of a one-off shirt sponsorship with Seeing Is Believing, a charity that aims to tackle avoidable likeness, there was a blindfolded penalty shootout during [.
1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has obviously cleared the paperjam that was stopping him 'performing against English sides'. It's safe to say he performed last night. 2. His spectacular fourth goal was something else. You know that's the case when you see England fans applauding an opposition goal. 3. But it did ruin a thousand Zlat-trick headlines.
In a surprising move the tribunal of judges that are part of the Italian football federation
(FIGC) who are overseeing the latest match fixing scandal to hit Italy, today denied Juventus coach
Antonio Conte's request for a three-month ban in an attempt. Conte has been accused of failing to
report match-fixing while he was coach of Siena.
It has been one roller coaster ride of a year for Maurice Edu.
The U.S. national team midfielder has seen his club team, Glasgow Rangers, fall into the
nightmarish reality of financial ruin, but he has also seen his national team stock rise as he has
become a regular starter for Jurgen Klinsmann.
As the Hillsborough tragedy was brought into light again this summer, the ache and pain will forever remain despite the bit of justice that was served this year when Prime Minister David Cameron announced to the world that Liverpool's fans were not at fault.
After 23 years of being made the culprits, the focus has finally shifted as people begin to truly see that Liverpool's fans and most importantly the families of the 96 that lost their lives are the victims.
Late Night Cheeky version of the Best ever England Football Song Euro by "Marcus Day Ft Cormack
Bangers and Mash" is sure to become a long lasting soccer/football anthem.
England Make Us Proud
England (make us proud) by Marcus Day Ft Cormack Bangers and Mash. In brief: Scantily clad
women, an English pub and Churchill the dog, one could say Marcus Day's video has everything except
a classic World Cup anthem that is.
Andres Iniesta won the 2012 UEFA Best Player in Europe award, beating out heavily favored
accolade vacuums Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It was a surprising recognition from
journalists representing each of UEFA's 53 member nations who voted live at the Champions League
draw.
Messi, of course, scored a world record 73 goals last season and Ronaldo led Real Madrid to a La
Liga title while also reaching the Champions League semifinals and Euro 2012 semifinals while also
scoring 63 goals himself.

If you've ever considering going to a Seattle Sounders Reserve League game, you may want to do
it on Sunday. Not only will they be playing the Vancouver Whitecaps, which is always fun, you'll
get a chance to see the likes of Steve Zakuani and Mario Martinez.
Zakuani is coming off a 90-minute performance against the San Jose Earthquakes in last week's
Reserve League game and it would seem a fair assumption that he'll be playing the full game,
again.
It was only a matter of time before Nelson Rivas received a decision from the MLS Disciplinary
Committee on his headbutt of the Philadelphia Union's Antoine Hoppenot, and as expected, the
Montreal Impact defender faced some harsh punishment.
Rivas was suspended for two additional games, on top of the automatic one-game suspension that
accompanies his red card, MLS announced Thursday.

Northampton High School.
The Mutiny striker scored her 10th goal of year in the 24th minute while Vikki Alonzo picked up
the clean sheet. The win pushed the Mutiny over the .500 mark and capped off a season of successes
for the amateur squad.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The New England Revolution will be on the road in Kansas City on July 21st,
but that won't stop a large contingent of some of the soccer club's most vocal supporters from
making the trek to Gillette Stadium. Instead of heading to Foxboro for a Revs match, the Midnight
Riders and the Rebellion – two of the team's most prominent supporters groups – will be playing
a match of their own and raising money for charity in the process.
This one legged Charity match between Dutch and Belgian's played in Westerlo in aid of a mobility charity turned into a mass brawl as player's tumbled and supporters got involved in a punch up!

To be fair he is an unpaid intern for now (his salary is being donated to a children's charity in Paris), so perhaps he is still angling for [...
New Chelsea FC song, The Colour is Blue 2012 music video, out now at

One afternoon in mid July, after months of planning, the Eastern Blues Official Chelsea Supporters
Club (Norfolk & Suffolk) got together with professional musician, songwriter and East Stand season
ticket holder Michael Armstrong to perform a new Chelsea song at Drill Hall Music Studio's in
Beccles.
Sad to hear that Muamba has had to retire from football but based on whats happened to him
healthwise no-one at all can blame him! I think the majority of football fans would have felt
fearful to see Fabrice back on a football pitch so I can't imagine how family or friends would have
felt had he returned as a player.
And here's quite possibly one of the nicest guys in football Victor Valdes signing a fan's shoe in
Brazil (if it were any other player, they'd have possibly rolled their eyes and snapped!
JK). Anyway, Valdes has been in Sao Paulo attending charity dinners, football clinics and
meeting young Barcelona fans who told him to cheekily "cane" Real Madrid next season.
