If you haven't seen Deuce's goal against Juve tonight, you'd be doing yourself a massive favor to go dig it up. Or just wait till everyblogger and their mother's cousin's Uncle Wally has it posted tomorrow. Damn! Click to continue reading...

Two more trialists have joined the Wizards for preseason down in Arizona according to Thad at The Back Post. The two are more international players brought in to compete for spots. The first of those two new trialists is Craig Rocastle, the cousin of the more famous David Rocastle. Rocastle has spent most of his career bouncing around different teams in the English league system. Click to continue reading...

Kansas City have two more players in camp on trial.Craig Rocastle - Rocastle is a midfielder who is best known for being the cousin of Arsenal and England player David Rocastle. Craig was in the Queens Park Rangers youth system and then was with Chelsea reserves. While he did not play a league game with Chelsea he gained experience through several loans.

You've got to hand it to the Tottenham legend that is Teddy Sheringham. He's 43 years old, but that hasn't stopped him from pulling 20 year old Rochelle Wiseman, a singer with the popular beat-combo The Saturdays.

According to today's Sun (I'd include a link, but as NewsNow knows, they don't appreciate it), 'Oh Teddy, Teddy' and Rochelle were spotted together in an Italian restaurant in Essex.

I guess since we lost and again unjustly, I'll put some FAQs

1. What is wrong with Howard Webb?

Howard Webb gave United the penalty against Spurs last year. Howard Webb didn't give the penalty and innumerable free kicks against Arsenal at Anfield.

Two quick follow-ups on this morning's dispatch on diversity, a concept that doesn't suck at all.

First, see how you can get in trouble when you don't practice safe diversity, kids? What was Vanity Fair thinking?

And then there is occasional need to "diversify," which is "diversity's" naughty little cousin.

Firstly, before anything else I'd like to post a video my cousin back in Canada made. It's a video which contains some pictures as well as a few videos, the kind of scenes which make us proud when we look back on them as well as give us hope for the future.

So, the official debts have been released and the numbers were alot less scary than some of the rumours we heard a few weeks back.

Wow. That game against Peterborough seems like a really long time ago. Thankfully, the snow has now gone and we're back in business against Hull.

They're a team that we should really beat quite comfortably. Without Bullard to push them on, they really struggle at this level and their side is further weakened by Cousin and Olofinjana being away on international duty, while Altidore is on compassionate leave following the disaster in Haiti.

Georges Ambourouet (Gabon) v Somen Tchoyi (Cameroon)

Well, isn't this just so considerate? The fine footy folk taking part in the African Cup know how busy our schedules are with Facebook-stalking, online shopping and other such necessities. To help out, they made sure to stay in the same photo frame for ease of judgment/appreciation in our Thigh-Off competition today.

E' la Coppa d'Africa delle sorprese. Dopo aver letto, con stupore, i risultati che hanno dato avvio alla manifestazione calcistica africana (il 3 a 0 del Malawi all'Algeria, per esempio), registriamo ora il ko pesante dei "leoni" del Camerun che capitolano contro il Gabon (0-1 il risultato finale) nella sfida di esordio del Gruppo D a Lubango.

I met up with Mr Charlton Athletic again today.
It took about 30 seconds to descend into conversation about the beautiful game.
"Who do you support?", MCA asked our neighbour.
"Manchester United" he said.
MCA and GB exchanged a meaningful look.
But then our new friend told us the tale of how he came to support the ManUre. Click to continue reading...

Getafe CF 1-0 Valladolid (03:01:10)
- click photos to enlarge image -
Like all good clubs, Getafe CF were formed by five blokes in a pub. Messrs Garcia (nimble fingered acoustic guitar plucker), Olavaria (bull-fighter), Lozana (castanet player), Vergara (tapas lover) and their (sangria drinking) cousin Miguel Frances announced the formation of the club in 1945 - yawned - and then made a further announcement that they were off for a siesta.

At 1-1 going into the 75th minute at the Kingston Communication Stadium in Hull on Sunday, it seemed like United's run of worst defensive leaks had proved their undoing yet again. Most cruelly, it seemed like their best attacking option and ever-relaible frontman had handed Hull the lifeline back into the game.

So, on viewing this photo of Karim Benzema with this ridiculously fine chica on his arm, we have a few questions:

1. Who is she? Cute cousin? Girlfriend? Long-time txt-buddy? Live-in hair-detailer?

And, more importantly,

2. Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof or Lancome Definicils?

Well hello there.

I see you've caught me in a bad mood. It's actually not so much because Manchester United, the team you should be impressed to hear that I play for, lost to Aston Villa on Saturday, but more because I am outside in the cold. Training. When I could be in a monkey scented bubble bath with a beautiful Berba-babe like you.

Group A at the 2010 World Cup could easily be called a "Group of Death" (as if there was only supposed to be one. That's like saying that there can only be ONE villain in sports and we all know that there's usually ALOT more than one villain per sporting event.) I know that Group G is supposed to be the "Group of Death" but maybe should be "a" in front of that and take a look at Group A as Group G's slightly-less-anger-management-needing cousin.

Most Premier League fans will forever remember Lee Bowyer for his famous on the pitch brawl with his own teammate Kieron Dyer a few seasons back. Bowyer is one of those players who statistics / trivia addicted footie fans (like myself) can always impress their friends with fun facts:

I see you've caught me on a billboard. Does that turn you on? Is this your idea of a big sack of sexy? ... No to both question? What if I told you that I paid a lot of money for this Berba billboard and they specifically said that they would not give me a refund if beautiful ladies like yourself don't find it sexy?

Alright, everybody here's the thing. I'll be hopping a plane to London tonight, in part to catch the Chelsea v Wolves match at the Bridge on Saturday. So your regularly scheduled programming will be interrupted between now and Monday, but unless I end up passed out in a pub somewhere for the next four or five days I hope to share pictures and tidbits from the trip while I'm there.

Poor Amauri... at the rate things are going for RobinHood's long lost cousin, he'll never find a national team to call his own! Before you blame it on Little John, it's all because Dopey and Lippi can't make up their minds.

Have you heard? We first discovered the news about our favourite Party Boy's new love last week. We've compiled a few fascinating and entertaining details and thought we'd share with you in compact bullet-point form.

I see you've caught me wearing an old Argentina national team shirt. Naturally, I'm wearing the old one because it was significantly cheaper than the new one and because it was the only one I could find in the dryers at the laundromat. ... Why am I wearing an Argentina shirt at all, you ask?

I see you've caught me talking on the phone. Perhaps you are extremely jealous that you don't have my undivided attention? ... No, I'm not on a phone sex hotline, I'm talking to my cousin Timitar about my fantastic goal against Blackburn. Ha-HA! It really was quite impressive.

I see you've caught me displaying my Berba-bilities with a fantastic bicycle kick. I'm going to score a goal with this, you know. My second goal in as many league matches. ...

It's been some old season for DPMM this year. Kicked out of the Malaysian Super League they were accepted into the SLeague where their in your face attitude upset a few feathers, which is no bad thing, leading the table for a while and even winning the League Cup.

I see you've caught me being bored by you. Well, that and I mistakenly took 18 sleeping pills, thinking they were "male enhancement" capsules. I do think it's mostly how boring you are that is making my eyes go out of focus and my heart feel like it's stopped pumping blood entirely.

Never listen to your cousin Pookie when it comes to how to stack your paper. That combination carwash/hookah bar in Van Nuys that he wants you to invest in just isn't the best idea.

The red mist descended around Wayne Rooney last night as he was substituted for Michael Owen in the 64th minute in the 1 – 0 win away to Besiktas. At the time, the game was tied at 0-0 and Rooney, playing as a lone striker, although working hard, had been relatively ineffective.

Prior to the game, Rooney was one of just three players to have started all six of our games this season (Evra and Foster are the other two) and Ferguson always planned to bring the England international off; no doubt with an eye on derby day this Sunday.

I see you've caught me wearing one of my old Spurs shirts. As you can probably tell, I'm not very happy about it. But I burned all of my other clothes on the advice of my cousin Timitar which, in hindsight was a horrible idea and I just so happened to find this in the back of my closet.

The title of this post is somewhat misleading. After all, the thought of taking a Frank Lampard "masterclass" sends your imagination off on a journey of R-rated festivities. With room service.

But alas, it's just a Disney XD viral showing Frank Lampard at Wembley doing an interview and tutorial with a boy named Alfie.
