Furious Wolves fans mounted a pitch invasion, hurled insults in the direction of owner Steve Morgan and chief executive Jez Moxey, and smashed up the dugout after defeat to Burnley left them on the verge of back-to-back relegations. This lad didn't want to miss out just because he was in a different stand than the [.
Gareth Bale was hauled before Tottenham's official YouTube channel to front up to accusations that he sounds exactly like the guy who conducts Spurs' interviews. Cue some playful bickering between the two, culminating in Bale making a noise that has never before been heard from a Premier League footballer, nay a human being.
Our friends at Dirty Tackle inform us that Argentinian side River Plate have been disparagingly referred to as 'chickens' since letting a two-goal lead slip in the second leg of the 1966 Copa Libertadores final against Penarol. Opponents Quilmes spotted a great opportunity for a visual gag and released some chickens on the pitch ahead [.
Algeria snaffled a late 1-0 away win against neighbouring Libya on Sunday evening in their
African Cup of Nations qualifier played on neutral soil in Casablanca, with substitute El Arbi
Hillel Soudani scoring a minute from time to give the Algerian's the advantage going in to the
second leg in October which didn't go down particularly well with the Libyans, as it happens.

Udinese crashed out of the Champions League in last night's play-off against Braga. And it's hardly
surprising once you consider the content of this post. In normal time, Pablo Armero went through on
goal and had a great chance to give the Italian side a 3-2 lead on aggregate. Instead he unleashed
a wicked air-shot, [.
Looks like the IOC have shut down any official highlights and we can only rely on shaky handcams
and cell phones to follow the progress of the US women's team. The long and short of it. The USA
faced an uphill climb after a very good French side took a 2-0 lead within the first 15
minutes.
Cue up the ostinato cello. It took Rapid Vienna forward Terrence Boyd all of four minutes to open
his Austrian Bundesliga account. Clip to come...- Greg Seltzer
In the aftermath of England's 1-0 win against Ukraine at Euro 2012, Match of the Day's
back-slapping, in-joking gaggle of pundits were analysing the Three Lions' lucky win when all of a
sudden, Alan Shearer butts in when Lee Dixon is still speaking. Cue a rather pissed off response
from the former Arsenal man (around 35 seconds).
Ukraine went to veteran Andrey Shevchenko who showed he still has a plethora of goals in him. Or
is it cornucopia? Or maybe multitude works better? Or myriad?
The Iraqi commentator celebrated Shevchenko's goals by yammering about "Chernobyl" which if one
Googles up the connection is a reference to how Sheva at age 9 and his family were uprooted from
their village following the 1985 Chernobyl nuclear disaster and forced to relocate to the
coast.
In case anyone needed convincing Radamel Falcao is nothing if not genius. Cue frenzied transfer
rumours. With Chelsea winning the Champions League all roads lead to Stamford Bridge.
By Zac Lee Rigg - LOS ANGELES, CA (Sep 5, 2012) US Soccer Players -- The situation at Chivas USA is
unclear at the moment. When Chivas de Guadalajara owner Jorge Vergara bought out co-owner Antonio
Cue on Wednesday, it took a day for the Los Angeles Times to report that Vergara had dismissed
general manager Jose Domene.

The other night an email popped into my inbox from the league's front office communication team.
It was a simple message about Chivas USA saying how Antonio and Lorenzo Cue, brothers who were
co-owners of the team along with Jorge Vergara, are out.
Chivas USA owner Jorge Vergara has not wasted any time in making changes with his new-found
total control of the team.
A day after the Chivas USA and Chivas de Guadalajara owner purchased the other 50 percent of the
club from Antonio Cue to assume complete ownership of the club, Vergara fired general manager Jose
Domene, the Los Angeles Times reported on Thursday.
Chivas USA has undergone a major shakeup at the top, and where that leads the franchise from
here on out remains to be seen.
Jorge Vergara, owner of Chivas Guadalajara and part owner of the Los Angeles-based MLS club
since its inception, annoucend on Wednesday that he along with his wife, Omnilife CEO Angelica
Fuentes, had bought out the stake owned by Antonio and Lorenzo Cue and are now fully in control of
the club.
Jorge Vergara has tightened his ownership grip on Chivas USA, scooping up today the 50 percent he
didn't own along with the same partner with whom he owns CD Guadalajara, a move that removes
Antonio Cue from any management role with the MLS club completely. Interesting timing to the move
Well, cue Ashley Cole like shenanigans at work over here. Fulham launched a complaint with the
Premier League accusing Liverpool of making an unofficial approach for Clint Dempsey with the
wantaway striker now poised to miss his second match in a row. The PL has now launched an
investigation looking into comments made by Liverpool officials.
Maybe not a marquee signing but still a very good and very consistent player, Clint 'Deuce'
Dempsey found himself in the middle of a bit of a furore today after the Fenway Sports Group, who
own Liverpool, stated on their website that the American attacker had joined Reds (see above).
With United's season kicking off later than everyone else, we have one more day to sneak in a
quick player preview. And yes, for once my article does not feature Arsenal! Well, at least I'll
try my best not to mention them. It is hard to do that but I think it's safe to say when you're
talking about Anderson, there are plenty of easy jokes to go around without having to resort to a
trip to the Emirates or Anfield for easy ones.

Fresh from accusing Germany of poisoning his squad, Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin has taken an
unusual approach to motivating his side: telling the press that they're not very good.
Speaking before the co-host's first match with Sweden, the former European Footballer of the
Year announced that his team — all of whom are based in Ukraine except Bayern Munich's Anatoliy
Tymoshchuk — have not played enough this season.
Oh cruel fate, how thy mock. John Ruddy has been ruled out of Euro 2012 after breaking a finger
during England's training session at the Etihad yesterday, with 19-year old Birmingham 'keeper
Jack Butland now set to join the England squad in his place.

Talking to Danish magazine Cover Man, Nicklas Bendtner has claimed to have been the victim of a
deliberately spiked drink, recalling one particular night out at London nightclub Boujis last year
that saw the bleary-eyed Dane papped with his trousers around his ankles while
attempting to leave the scene without attracting any undue attention an incident which later cost
him two weeks' wages.

I've pushed some cool projects on here. However, we all knew that they'd make it. My own eBook,
written by me and created by me, was bound to be wildly popular. Similarly, The Classical always
had the hidden hand of Celtic Tiger Fredorarrci. XI Quarterly and Howler were too cool to not
succeed.
The Malaysia Cup kicks off tonight and LionsX11 are enjoying some positive coverage in the local
papers. But it nearly refers to the heady days of 1994.
One reason Singapore football struggles to attract interest these days is because many folk are
still wrapped in the bubble of '94 and that includes teenagers who were not born yet.
Cue the South Park Insheeption music, because its time for a Review in a Preview in a Review for
the NYRB/Houston home and home series. To start things off, the Dynamo graced BBVA, Houston, and an
NBCSN-watching nation with a one-sided smackdown on Friday. Modest scoreline aside, this was abuse
on a felony level.
Far from chaining up Stuart Pearce to a radiator in a disused warehouse for the next fortnight,
Adidas have come up with another method of getting David Beckham back in the Olympics frame a
superb viral which sees the former England captain jump out on Team GB fans posing for pictures in
the Adidas [.
We all know that South America and Brazil, in particular, has some of the most passionate
football fans in the planet and as if on cue, they all made their presence felt during
Corinthians' record-defining win over Boca Juniors last night.
The 2-0 victory meant that 'Timao' has picked up the Copa Libertadores trophy for the
first time in their 102-year history and will represent the Latin continent in December's
Club World Cup in Japan.
Now first of all I don't have any personal issues with Mark Bright as a footballer or as a
person, but when I hear the words "we'll pass you over to the commentary team for the match, Joe
Bloggs and Mark Bright...", a little part of me dies inside. I simply can't enjoy watching a
football match with his constant derogatory or disapproving remarks every few moments.
Nothing like going all out for your team, eh girls?! Take a cue from these Club de Fútbol
Monterrey fans the next time you attend a game! / via AP Photos
