SHE'S known as the female face of Liverpool TV in the UK.
And with her infectious energy in front of the camera, gorgeous looks and a footballing background
to boot, Claire Rourke is quite simply the perfect ‘chica' to front one of the
EPL'S most-loved clubs.

Fulham at home and then Portsmouth in the semi. This is Tottenham Hotspur we're dealing with
here, so absolutely nothing is guaranteed, but every Spurs supporter will have given out a cheer
when Ginola drew out Chelsea to play Aston Villa.
If we're to capitalise upon this situation, then we must create more chances than we did at
Craven Cottage.

After a difficult fortnight the results from tonight's games have brought back some cheer and
hope. The doom mongers who were predicting a free fall and fight for fourth must have received a
nice slap as Arsenal emerged as the only top team to win three points on the night. The gap at the
top has narrowed while that against the chasing pack has increased.

The only reason I cheer for Birmingham City (well, mostly the only reason, because I like Seb
Larsson and I still have a soft spot because they took Nicklas Bendtner, et al., on loan) is
because Joe Hart's on loan there. He's on loan because Mark Hughes decided that Manchester City
needed a better goalkeeper instead of using what they had -- Joe.

Just after the second half had kicked off on Saturday against Everton, and shortly before Drogba
had scored his second of the game, a Chelsea supporter sitting 15 or so seats to my right in the
Matthew Harding Lower piped up.
"Drogba you f*king c*nt, get onside", were his wisely chosen words.

A bad week for Arsene Wenger ended on a high on Saturday, as Arsenal earned a 2-0 Premier League
win over Stoke City. Andrey Arshavin's first-half goal and a late second from Aaron Ramsey proved
enough to end the north Londoners' run of three straight defeats and brought some belated cheer to
Wenger.

Good evening from ringside.
Well, bar-side, I suppose, really. There's no escaping the facts. But hey, open a window or two,

Well if there was one game I couldn't wait for the return leg this season so far, then
Manchester City vs Arsenal was the one. Now thanks to the magic of the League Cup draw, we get an
extra episode in this intriguing match up. There is no doubt that the first league clash saw some
pretty unsavory scenes both on and off the field and the repercussions are still rippling through
both clubs.

Was there, I wonder, a Fairy Liquid slick somewhere on the pitch? If I'm right, every so often
the ball would land in this area, and for the next ten minutes would be uncontrollable. Players
would pass it into spaces where no teammate could follow, to the touchline, to the wide open night
sky: anywhere but to teammates.

The day started marvellously
We all stood downstairs by the televisions before the game. This was because the game from Villa
Park was being shown live. A bit of pre match entertainment we all thought. The game was exciting.
Every heroic tackle by Villa's defenders was greeted with a cheer as if it were Rio or Vida.

John Motson is 64, you know. If you'd ask me, mind, I'd have said that due to his increasingly

8. "A Match Already Being Described As 'On This Sunday'"
It would be fair to say that Sky Sports are prone to a little bit of over-enthusiasm about their
range of live football. Their 'Grand Slam Sunday' was my particular favourite, considering football
doesn't have a 'grand slam' and that whoever triumphed in such an event would have to presumably
win four matches in different parts of the world at different times of the year.

ex-England boss ran to the relative safety of the Eredivisie after his international experiences to

MARKHAM - This story probably should've ran two weeks ago, but on the heels of his pending
departure and absence over the next two games (yes he'll miss the semi's and the finals), it is
only fitting that the club pay tribute to the new King at Pistolas FC: Steve Ward.
Almost as if in a coup d'etat fashion, Steve Ward took advantage of a crippled leader, Charles, and
surpassed him for the All-Time Goalscoring Title, notching his 11th career goal in the final game
of the season versus Inter Selects.

The lingering animosity is clearly still mutual, though, as Bellamy accused Rangers striker Lee
McCulloch of fouling him to get a cheer from the home fans:
