Eduardo's most common move, the ankle breaker
This is the most obvious Funny Feeling Friday selection in history - but the selection completely fits the award for the week - an unpopular, out of form, or underrated player who we think will perform over the next few weeks.
Couldn't be more obvious: it's Eduardo (7. Click to continue reading...

Last weekend and midweek action involved another round of international games. Some matches were important like the playoffs for the right to feature in the 2010 South Africa World Cup Finals but all too many were unimportant games that counted for absolutely nothing. The question that pops to mind was should the top players be excluded from playing in them to avoid injury? Click to continue reading...

With December fast-approaching, The Season is in the air. Christmas? Absolutely not. It's awards season. The Argentine sensation known as Lionel Messi has already nabbed the Onze d'Or, a precursor to the Ballon d'Or (with a heft more patriotism) which has predicted the BdO three times in the last four years.

This weekend saw another round of international games, some important like the playoffs for the final positions at the World Cup, but all too many were unimportant games that counted for absolutely nothing t should the top players be excluded form playing in them to avoid injury?

I know that this brings up loads of potential problem like who do you classify as a top player etc.

Scotland's 0-3 defeat to Wales at the weekend has all but sealed Burley's fate, however, and reports from Bonnie Scotland state George will soon be on the dole. But who would replace Burley? And are Scotland's failures really a management issue? Graeme Souness may have just crossed himself off a few Christmas card lists as he told the press he wouldn't want the Scotland job primarily because the country has produced no talent to work with.

Happy Monday to you from a very wild and rainy Dublin.

Still lots of misinformation abounding regarding Robin van Persie's injury. This morning's Sun says he could miss the 'entire season' and says Arsene is 'gutted' but the news from the player himself isn't so bad. The Dutch FA have confirmed that there's a 'partial rupture' of his ankle ligaments but there's no requirement for surgery, which is a good thing.

Do you know that feeling when you haven't had something you really like for a while and have even stopped consciously missing it?
Like the first taste of Baileys around Christmas.
Or the early summer sun on your skin.
I had such a moment today.
You watched me enjoying it before. Click to continue reading...

The papers over the weekend were linking Wayne Rooney with an £85m move to Barcelona whilst Cristiano Ronaldo said he would welcome Wayne at Real Madrid.

Rooney has moved to put an end to end rumours before people start getting carried away by again claiming he wants to spend the rest of his career with us.

After Manchester United were robbed by the referee against Chelsea at the weekend, Wayne Rooney walked off the pitch and mouthed "12 men" at the Sky Sports camera. He has since been warned by the FA over his future conduct.

Rooney has today explained his comments, acknowledging he probably shouldn't have said it, but sure he would have said worse!

Jose Bosingwa is injured and out for up to 3 months, making Branislav Ivanovic a great choice. Previously Ivanovic was a rotation risk, but since Bosingwa has been out Ivanovic has played a truckload of minutes. In the last 5 games, he has picked up 4 clean sheets. Further, with Ashley Cole also injured, Ivanovic's spot in the squad is even more likely to be cemented. Click to continue reading...

The fact that Sporting Gijón lie seventh in the league, with a quarter of the games now played, is probably the fairest thing to highlight at the start of this week's column. After beating Espanyol 1-0, they have garnered sixteen precious points from the ten games so far played, and as averages go would be very happy to end the season on something around 60 points, their present haul multiplied by four.

I was watching Sky this morning and they announced the England squad and noticed that Ash wasn't included. So I was wondering what was up and wondered if he had been called but withdrew (for a breather for a pointless game at a pointless venue in my opinion coming up to the Christmas period) but then this afternoon an official Chelsea spokesperson has announced the following: "Ashley Cole has Click to continue reading...

Yesterday, we popped into our local coffee shop and were asked by the barista if we'd finished our Christmas shopping yet.

...

Should we pause for longer? Do you need more time to plot a violent attack on an innocent local coffee grinder?

Anyhoo, one thing is for certain: these pics of the ever-sexy David Villa (Valencia) at the UNICEF Christmas 2009 Campaign certainly do get us into the Crimbo mood, even if it is several thousand days away.

Apologies all, I've been moving house today and cannot get near to doing a full preview of tonight's game, which starts in a matter of minutes. Suffice to say that a win is actually quite important given Chelsea's qualification last night (we play Chelsea after matchday 5, and they can concentrate entirely on that one), and I think we'll get it, 2-0.

Bolton fans set to be disappointed by 'Becks to link-up with trotters' headlines Victoria Beckham has already got her hubby his Christmas present - and she will struggle to keep them a secret until Santa comes.

As a Christmas present for her hubbie, Victoria Beckham bought some micro-pigs. What are micro-pigs, you ask? Really small pigs that for some reason are the new "in" thing.

She has splashed out £1,400 on the latest must-have celebrity designer pets.
Posh, 35, took delivery of the nine-inch, 13lb porkers earlier this week.

Once again, Barcelona is exhibiting an intense lack of "hand" when they gave away a draw to Osasuna. � I think the picture says it all...

Now that you've a minute to look it over I'll get to the real problem here. � It's not that Osasuna drew Barca. � Technically, any team can beat or draw anybody on any given day (regardless of how bad they are.

Hello Gooners. Hope you are all well this friday. Don't know about you but I am super pumped up for this north london Derby. Not that I wasn't pumped for it all these years....

Yesterday's game was like one of those pre Christmas pantomimes in which the main character is unaware of an imminent danger but everyone in the audience can see exactly what is going on and cries out, it's behind you, it's behind you.

These situations are usually funny and so should this one have been, if drawing with West Ham, after being two up, wasn't so utterly soul destroying.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! � Salt Lake won yesterday to put themselves in the MLS Playoffs and now only New England is playing for their life when they suit up today. � They win and they're in. � They lose and Colorado squeaks in by the skin of their teeth.

I must say that I'm disappointed in Dallas because when I first came on the block they had just scored 5000 goals in a game and I thought they could keep it up.
