I just read this bit in the Boston Herald about how our Taylor and his brother (who knew there were
two of 'em?) where in this crazy near-death experience in Chicago this week; the driver of a cab
they were in had a heart attack as they approached an intersection and hit a wall. And just to make
it all weirdski's, this isn't the first time the Twellman Brothers --which sounds like a C&W band--
have been in a crash & bang situation.

With J Hutcherson -- Yesterday's shakeup in Under-20 World Cup Group C might not have been
predictable, but it wasn't exactly shocking. At the age level tournaments, a wide swing isn't rare.
It's also not distinct to Germany, the United States, Cameroon, and South Korea. For every
unabashed crash out after making it this far, there's confirmation of the idea that very few teams
walk through the group stage.

Bendtner, 21, careered off the road and ploughed through a fence before smashing into a tree and
coming to a stop in a field. A motorist who saw Sunday morning's crash on the A1(M) near South
Mimms, Herts, said: "The car wasn't going especially fast but careered off the road. The driver
must have lost his concentration for a moment.

John has been sick. So he has asked me to update his blog.
There are two questions from this game:
1. were Perth prepared to cheat to win?
2. does Chris Beath have the skills to referee in the A-League.
Dad and I watched the replay on tv and it was pretty clear that the Roar, while making some bad
defensive mistakes ( is Bob Malcolm good enough to play in the A-League), dominated the game.

Sneijder was evidently in The Zone back in his Ajax days. By comparison, his best-of reel from
Real Madrid are closer in and more on the cheeky side. Yet this is an index of the quality in store
for Internazionale.
At Inter now, Mourinho was looking for a trequartista, but Sneijder brings also a
discerning nose for goal.

A great majority of the football world has grown used to laughing off Arsene
Wenger's dramatic remarks over major incidents in recent years. This is precisely why the
Arsenal manager was largely ignored when he labeled the accusations over
Gunners striker Eduardo's recent "dive" against
Celtic as a "witch-hunt".

Bayern president.

Since leaving the Roar in November 2006, Miron Bleiberg has acted like a man with something
fundamental to prove. He is hit hard by the way he felt he was treated by the 'Owners' of the
Queensland Roar. Since he has sought vindication and to prove them wrong and him right.
So what were 'they', the Owners, so wrong about?

As if winding up Arsenal fans and being the best left-back in the league wasn't enough to win us
over, Patrice Evra has spoken extremely fondly of the club today, referring to us as a family.
This is the player who on his first day at Manchester United asked Gary Neville for the
directions to the nearest church, so he could thank God for letting him join the biggest club in

of beating Manchester United at the Emirates and that it would be the Gunners heading to Rome.
The United camp were relatively quieter, with the biggest news regarding United being a
statement by Ronaldo about the death of the Real Madrid dream and news out of Germany that United
had lodged an offer for Franck Ribery.

The story has been told a million times before. The greatest team in football, on their flight
home from an exhibition game in Lisbon, meet with a premature end when their G-212 plane smashes
into the Basilica di Superga. All 31 passengers died, including the entire Torino squad. Sixty
years on, the pain felt on 4 May 1949 is still very much in evidence in the city of Turin.

With J Hutcherson -- In every sport with a clock, there comes a time when some coach on some team
decides defense really isn't worth it, and opts to throw everything forward. The result normally
cranks up the short-term entertainment value, but there's normally a hard crash courtesy of a
technically better team.
