Shame that name's not on the back of the shirt instead!
Segunda Division B side Albacete Balompie have gotten around to unveiling their new strip for
2012/13 and 'The Clockwork Cheese' (that's their honest-to-goodness nickname!
AC Milan recently held a Christmas party (of course, 'Natale'
is incredibly important for the land of the Pope!) where players, coaches, staff and sponsors were
invited to mingle, eat cheese and look bloody fabulous. Everyone needs to take a leaf out of these
smoldering Italians' books.
A brace from Altidore was good for a point at the ArenA. He had the equalizer and the go-ahead in
the 48th and 50th minutes to give the Cheese Farmers an opening-day draw against the defending
champs. His first came after he collected a long diagonal ball down the left, beat Toby
Alderweireld off the dribble, held off Gregory Van Der Wiel and shelfed his shot from the six like
it was his job.
Like busting through the bathroom door with an axe, Jozy Altidore poked his head through for the
opening goal in AZ's match at Vitesse on 32 minutes. Despite his 11th of the Eredivisie season, the
Cheese Farmers have now fallen behind 2-1 early in the second half - so this post may not be done
yet. - Greg Seltzer
Flares? Check. Ticker tape? Check. Giant flags? Check. Legions of
shirtless men chanting at eardrum-rupturing intensity? Check. Must be the Polish
Under-8′s league at the local leisure centre then...
As ever the "Old School" Chels from Gate 17 have produced another one of their videos featuring a
trip with Chelsea abroad. This time it's last weeks trip to Naples to see Napoli away. We lost the
game 3-1 as you know, but here is their short documentary about their time there (Excuse the
language and when you see the straw please be assured it is nothing more than CHEESE!
Say 'cheese'. There are plenty of players who adore the media attenion that comes with being a
football, but Zamalek playmaker Shikabala is not one of them. Not when he's lost, at least. His
side lost the Egyptian cup final against ENPPI. After a 2-1 defeat, Shikabala didn't take kindly to
the prospect of his [.
Apparently, with just under 2 weeks in the transfer window to go, Toronto FC is on the verge of
signing 24-year old American forward Quincy Amarikwa.
The Up Side : He's young, he's probably cheap, he's a forward and most importantly, he's a
PLAYER. Toronto's roster is badly depleted and with a lack of depth at defense as well as a lack of
anyone up front, so this is a good move.
While Del Piero tries to stare you down for giving him evils about being on the
Juventus bench, let us take you through some Serie A highlights from the
weekend!
AS Roma defeated Parma 1-0 with the sole goal coming from Osvaldo.
A lot has been said (in not very nice ways) about Sami Khedira's relationship with German
model, Lena Gercke, but we for one have come to appreciate her. She's a girl who knows how to make
a party entrance as well as rock a non-extension laced 'do, and her choice to continue working
rather than rushing to seal the deal with Sami in a custom wedding dress made out of pasties is a
bold move for a footballer's partner of her calibre.
COUNT 'EM UP! Messi and Pique counting the number of points we have over Barca. Say 'Cheese'
Guys.
Last week it was 7up. This week, we're all out of names of fizzy drinks to describe our lead: it's
now TEN points. 10. Beautiful.. Sid Lowe had some great feel-good reading material re: Real Madrid
too (read the full article here):
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson is away on international duty with the England Under 21s but
he took a bit of time out to answer some questions on Twitter on behalf of The FA.
Signed from Sunderland in the summer, Henderson said he prefers playing in the middle, rather than
the wing, because that's what he feels he's best at – but he made it clear that he's just happy
to be picked and will player wherever he's put.
As you may or may not be aware, the Argentinian national side are in India as we speak to play a
friendly against Venezuela, a game which has drawn a sell-out 120,000 crowd to the Yuba Bharati
Krirangan Stadium.
As you can probably imagine, the pre-game hype has been largely centred around one man as if you
need telling who and the fact that one of the Indian officials was prepared to smuggle his camera
into the centre-circle in his pocket for a cheeky snap of said man is a fairly good indication of
the hero worship on show in Calcutta at the moment.
Got, Not Got: Celtic and Scotland Legend Ate Fruit – Shocking Picture

Players today don't have names like Jimmy or Bobby or Nobby. And they don't have nicknames like
‘Jinky'. Players today don't wear goalie tops with quilted fronts and elbows. Not even the
goalies, let alone wingers.
Wenger cashes in on his rep, Gyan's no Loyd Grossman and Scunny's killjoy tannoy
announcer
He's famous for not seeing incidents and not listening to fans begging him to spend some money.
So does this advert in easyJet's in-flight shopping mag mean Arsene is finally cashing in on his
reputation?
Well, this is a bit odd. For the first time in 15 years my morning routine has changed. When we
got the dog my first task of the morning would be to get up, let him out and clean up the mess he'd
made overnight. Given his age he'd kind of come full circle but it's very weird to see the space
where his bed used to be.
Liverpool big cheese Ian Ayre has set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons by stating that the
bigger Premier League clubs should be able to negotiate their own overseas TV deals.
Currently, all 20 top tier clubs share the overseas revenues, but according to Ayre, the bigger
clubs deserve a larger slice of the pie.
Jackman rates Grant Holt's start to the season out of 10
Aussie superstar Hugh Jackman is the latest big cheese from the world of entertainment to flirt
with part-ownership of an English football club, thus following in the footsteps of Jay-Z (Arsenal)
and 50 Cent (Accrington Stanley).
Morning all, welcome to the penultimate Friday of the off-season. This time next week we'll be
all like 'Hurrah! Football's back tomorrow. Where are my lucky pants which aren't that lucky at all
now that I come to think of it?!'
Despite it all and 'it all' being the all day, drip-drip torture of not signing anyone and the
having the same arguments over and over again so many times that Paddy actually sat down I'm
looking forward to it.
Morning all, last night I dreamt Arsene was in my kitchen cooking livers and kidneys and I asked
him when he was going to get a move on and sign some new players. "This week", he said, so that's
reassuring, right?
Maybe it's sad that my cheese powered dream is more reassuring than Samir Nasri when asked about
his situation at Arsenal.
It took all of three minutes for Altidore to head The Cheese Farmers ahead at home to Twente. The
visitors have since equalized. Good guy highlights to come.And for the rest of you 'working' for
the weekend, ESPN3 is the place to be.-Jacob Klinger
I recently managed to figure out how to make a good custard bread pudding using croissant. What I
did not recently figure out is that Edson Buddle will audition for Everton this week. I've yet to
find out what this means for West Ham's interest, but shall.Well... at least the pudding was good.
It even had apple pie filling with bits of cheddar cheese.
Tonight we said goodbye to the Arseblog basset. Time waits for no man, nor hound, and after 15
years of bassety goodness we had to make the difficult decision.
We fed him his favourite dinner a burger, surrounded by whipped cream, topped with cheese, bits
of bacon, and then topped again with more cream before making the sad trip to the vet.
Say cheese No, seriously, he is. Just do a quick Google Images search for him and you will find
that this is actually his happy face. Those eyes are demanding we stick £50 on a debut red card
for the mysterious Argentine loan signing. The striker has such a long name that you can nearly

AMSTERDAM It was a heavy Sunday card for Americans in Europe, with Jozy
Altidore supplying the two-goal knockout punch in AZ Alkmaar's 4-0 rout of NEC
Nijmegen.
Making his first Eredivisie start for the Cheese Farmers, the US striker nodded home the winner
nine minutes into the second half after a bit of area pinball.
Nine banded Armadillo - habitat - the long grasses found within soccer stadia
Late, late last night I watched TFC handle a tame Real Esteli. It was one of those weird media
nights. I watched the first half on television and then went onto the TFC chat to see what Asif was
saying. Soon discovered that what I had been watching on tv was not live and that I was able to
move through time rapidly.
Marko Marin. So we meet again. It's not the news that our alleged approach was rebuffed that's
got the man on the street in somewhat of a dither, rather the reasoning behind looking at a player,
who, let's not kid ourselves, bares more than a striking resemblance to a certain wee Croat that
often knocks about the homestead.
