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.

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.

Got, Not Got: Celtic and Scotland Legend Ate Fruit – Shocking Picture Proof

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.

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.

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'. 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 [.

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).

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.

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!

"Say cheese!"

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.

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 [...]

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?

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.

MLS officially signs broadcast deal with NBC, FSC OUT!

Amazing news coming out of MLS HQ this morning as the league appears to have signed a deal with NBC for the next few years.

The deal, as I know it right now is, that 43 games will be broadcast on Versus (to be named NBC Sports soon) with 6 games carried on NBC prime.

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.

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.

Inpuuuut!

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.

We've actually got news of value today, Kickettes!

Yay!

Don't worry, it won't last long, though!

Yay!

Diego Forlan & Zaira Nara Call Off Their Engagement

Pool schmoozing with basketball stars for an entire month in Miami seems like an easy life, no?

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.

Can anyone spare a block of cheddar? We'd like to grate some cheese on these abs. Diego Forlan, his abs and his fiancée Zaira Nara are currently on extended holiday in Miami until Uruguay begins Copa América tournament play in Argentina on the 1st of July. The couple even attended the first game of the NBA finals last night, and we believe Diego had to remain fully clothed while indoors since there's no proof otherwise.

Yes friends it is that time again. Last night, after waiting patiently all week, it finally happened. I had another dream about our club continuing it's battle to climb the table and into the throws of European competition. Following the advice of a fellow editor, I decided to consume enough cheese to warrant bypass surgery.

The U.S. WNT players got done with all of their soccer responsibilities today in time to settle in and watch the Super Bowl. The Steelers fans are a bit sad right now (sorry, Meghans), but the players sincerely enjoyed the game as well as the halftime pizza party (see below). A few players even made a quick stop at the supermarket (see above) before the game to pick up some supplies.

This week we bring back three Winning Ugly veterans for some classic ugly goodness.

With Liverpool heavily mentioned in several transfer moves in the transfer winow, it is time to ask the question.Why are we placing such small bids for Suarez and Charlie Adam?Rumours were related that we had the money to spend this window by Tom Werner himself, telling us that Liverpool had money to spend, this transfer window and beyond.

What's the deal with Arshavin's celebration face? It's like a cross between a lizard having an orgasm and a lactose intolerant elephant seal that ate 2 blocks of cheddar cheese. What a mug on that guy.
