charity.

Europe Rangers star in bid to help Haiti school -- from The Evening Times' Sarah Swan and Deborah
Anderson: The charity has already raised £15,000 for the relief effort but the night aims to raise
another £10,000 to rebuild the school. Ashley Cole's injury will test Fabio Capello's tenet about
reputation -- from The Guardian's Richard Williams: None of them, however, has anything like the
combination of experience and dynamism that characterises Cole's work.

John Terry has always been one of footballs bad boys. No matter how hard he tries to be good, he
always seems to screw up. In the past year, he came under fire for allegedly selling Chelsea tours
to support his charity. Now, the papers are saying how he knocked up Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend.
Should this man be England's leader?

Part I of an on-going back and forth between Ed from Liverpool Offside on Rafa Benitez's tenure

It goes without saying that the devastation from the Haitian Earthquake is unlike anything we
have seen in this region in recent times. Not even Hurricane Kartina comes close.
As somebody who has regularly seen the Haitian team play live in person (since the majority of
their friendlies are held in Florida, not Haiti) I am still at a loss to rationalize the loss
of life related to football.

You know Potter Perez had plans to marry his daughters off to these three

there was no way he was going to marry El Presidente's daughter (kkk, except Salgado).
