Arsenal does not really do transitional seasons, or does it? Somehow, through the magic of
Wenger, we have been able to rebuild squads and first teams without losing sight of silverware and
European football in every single season the Frenchman has been at the helm.
Luis Suarez is back from his suspension, Manchester United's tired of having 3,000 Liverpool
supporters out-sing 70,000-odd United fans whenever the clubs meet at Old Trafford, and it turns
out Liverpool signed an attacking player over the January transfer window after all. And also it's
Friday, so let's get busy wasting a bit of time.
Languagecaster's ggod, bad and ugly: a side doing well in both the English Cup competitions, a
bizarre situation for women's football in the USA and tragic events in Egypt.

What you're looking at here is the league table for the Isles of Scilly League the smallest
registered football league (it's affiliated with the FA) on the entire planet...
No draws! We hope, for the Woolpack Wanderers' sake, that relegation isn't going to be an issue
come the end of the season.

Remember two weeks ago when forward Kris Boyd of Rangers turned down Houston? Well, today he signed
with Portland!! Hoooo-Weeeee! Bet he won't receive a friendly welcome when he makes his first visit
to whatever that new stadium in Houston is called.

Mr Ang had been the face of the clubIn less than a week, perennial underachievers Geylang United
are hit by another news when it was announced that their long-serving chairman Mr Patrick Ang
(pictured left) will step down from his post on 1st February.
According to the media release issued by the Football Association of Singapore, the long-time
veteran in the local football scene will hand over the reins to former national skipper Leong Kok
Fann.
There's no doubt that Newcastle will go all out to win their FA Cup 4th round tie at Brighton
tomorrow, in a late game that kicks off at 5:15pm tomorrow. Alan Pardew taking the Cup very
seriously Newcastle have not taken the Cup competitions that seriously, especially over the last
four seasons, where we have been more interested in our league position than [.
Most Spurs fans will be grateful for an early weekend kick off as a chance to get back to the
football after a mixed week at the club. Watford will host us in our fourth round FA Cup tie and
one player almost certain to feature is the versatile Jake Livermore.
Jake has appeared regularly in the cup competitions, even filling in at right back against
Cheltenham and has therefore underlined his potential to the club in more than one area of the
pitch.
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes winning the Carling Cup would represent a major
step forward for the club and put the Reds "back on the map".
Kenny Dalglish's team takes a 1-0 lead into Wednesday's semi-final second leg at Anfield against
Manchester City, another of the ex-Germany international's sides.
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admits the team's difficulties at Anfield are damaging their
hopes of a top-four finish.
Carragher, 34 later this month, has had to watch many of those struggles from the bench but started
in the Premier League at home to Stoke City and, though they are currently unbeaten in 11 fixtures
at Anfield, the Reds have also dropped 14 points and trail fourth-placed Chelsea.

If you haven't been paying much attention to our editorial guidelines, we tend to wade in the
lower league pools of English football pretty during cup competitions only.

Saturday Bristol Rovers - Aston Villa 12pm - Fox Soccer The FA Cup enters the Third Round proper,
with Brad Guzan and Eric Lichaj's Villa getting an away date with League Two club Bristol. Part of
the fun of the English cup competitions is seeing stadiums that normally don't appear on US
television. Memorial Stadium in Horfield, Bristol is mostly standing areas, since Bristol has never
been high enough in the English league system to.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish hopes his team's football will do the talking against Oldham in
the FA Cup on Friday night after a week in which the club's off-field actions have made the
headlines.
The Reds decided not to appeal Luis Suarez's eight-match ban for racially abusing Manchester United
defender Patrice Evra earlier this week but have faced criticism over the way they have handled the
whole controversy.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish admits they will miss Luis Suarez as he serves his eight-match ban
- but insists they have to look past the Uruguay international's absence.
The club announced they had decided not to appeal against the Football Association punishment
imposed for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra just over an hour before the 3-0
defeat at Manchester City.
U.S. defender and Women's World Cup star Ali Krieger, who plays her trade for FFC Frankfurt in
Germany, was originally scheduled to attend the second half of the USA's training camp in Los
Angeles. Due to several injuries to her teammates, and a run of poor league results, Krieger's club
requested that she stay in Germany.
It may only be the 3rd round, but the FA Cup's draw has produced some real crackers.
Sixty-four sides still have the potential to reach Wembley on cup final day, and 32 matches will
be played to see who progresses into the fourth round.
Here are five of the best ties to look out for:
Birmingham v Wolves
This Black Country derby isn't possible in the top flight this year following City's relegation
last season, but the Blues have done well both domestically and on the continent under Chris
Hughton.
Liverpool defensive stalwart Jamie Carragher has revealed his frustration over the club's failure
to reach a final or a semi-final of a domestic cup competition since 2006.
Carra, who helped Liverpool keep a clean sheet against Chelsea in the recent Carling Cup quarter
final, said:
"The minimum Liverpool should be looking at each season is getting to the semi-final of one of the
cup competitions, either the FA Cup or the Carling Cup.
Liverpool is ready to up their interest in Crystal Palace youngster Wilfried Zaha after watching
the striker put in a fantastic display against Manchester United.
The Reds have been linked with a move for the youngster for a number of months and in recent weeks
have seen a host of clubs also register their interest.
It's not a particularly new question but in the light of recent Spurs results it's one that's
worth asking once again.
Unless you're lucky enough to remember the great double winning side of 1960/61, you'll probably
recall the trophy winning teams of the last forty years: Four league cups, 3 FA Cups and 2 UEFA
wins with sadly no league triumphs mixed in.
The pod is small this week. We take time to look at Sunderland and their Brucelessness; Liverpool
and their Luclessness; and the Carling Cup with it's significance. Cup competitions are a nice
punctuation to a season, but what more can ...

After a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Benfica in the UEFA Champions League, United will hope to
correct their indifferent form of the past few weeks as they seek to keep in touch with City in the
title race and make progress in their cup competitions.
FUNK SAYS SORRY FOR CUP STUFFING.SCARBOROUGH Athletic manager Rudy Funk apologised to the
fans after last night's dismal 5-1 North Riding Cup defeat at the hands of Guisborough
Town.Funk's heavily altered side were comfortably second best on the night, but the Borop
chief did manage to grab a positive or two.
The new Arsenal: focus, enthusiasm, togetherness, and a
mixture of raw talent and calm experience
The interlull is almost over. Although it has been a boring period from a footballing point of
view at least we did not have to endure again the spectacle of recent interlulls: in-fighting of
fellow Arsenal fans.
Our trip to Retford on Saturday will see us face a strong Retford team which includes the
leagues leading scorer Carl HaslamLeading scorer Carl Haslam. Carl has 16 club goals to his credit this term since joining
Retford Utd from Shirebrook Town back in September. 8 of those goals are league goals while the other 8 are from his clubs cup competitions.
Last week, Twitter was abound with rumor that Swansea City were interested in taking Josh
McEachran on loan come January. Today, the inside sources were proven correct. Swansea manager
Brendan Rodgers confirmed Thursday that the Premier League new boys are hot for Josh, and are
likely to make an active move for him in the new year.
Every so often events conspire to make us question whether there is indeed some footballing god
directing proceedings from, somewhere. After UEFA's initial decision to remove Swiss club FC Sion
from the Europa League, the club they had previously beaten on aggregate in the final playoff round
that club being Celtic FC were awarded their place in Group I in their stead.
I'm certain that Jurgen Klinsmann is a smart soccer coach. He's trying to build something that
will probably take about 8 years or so to come to fruition with the United States National Team. It
involves many layers, not just the current senior team, but a couple Olympics teams, many U20/U17
teams, MLS, the lower divisions, college, Academies, and youth teams.
Luis Suarez has claimed Liverpool's best chance of picking up silverware this season is in the cup
competitions, with the Uruguayan suggesting Premier League title contenders Manchester United,
Manchester City and Chelsea are "unreachable".
The forward has been a shining light for Liverpool this season, with his four goals propelling the
Reds up to fifth in the table.
The sight of Gamba Osaka running out at Expo '70 Stadium tonight is unlikely to fill their fans
with hope. It's more likely to fill those in attendance with a sense of trepidation as the team
currently leading the J. League standings does battle with defending Nabisco Cup champions Jubilo
Iwata for a trophy no one genuinely wants to win.
It is true to say that in football, the strikers are the ones who get the goals and get the
headlines. Goalkeepers can play fantastically well for a full 89 minutes out of a fantastic match
but one mistake and all know what the internet and newspapers will focus on.
Lee Dong-guk is one of the biggest stars in the league.

pleasing win away from home.
After playing in Manchester United's 1-1 draw with Benfica in the Champions League last night,
Anders Lindegaard has reiterated his desire to get the number one jersey.
Sir Alex Ferguson has already claimed that David de Gea is our first choice, although Lindegaard
should expect plenty of appearances in the cup competitions.

Craig Bellamy says that Kenny Dalglish was the main reason why he decided to return to
Liverpool.
"I've grown up with Kenny Dalglish, now to be signed by him is a massive honour" said Bellamy.
"This is an exciting time. When Kenny took over, watching as a fan last season I got the buzz as
well and it was great to see Liverpool end the season well.

Now that deadline day's out the way, it's time to take a look at who's feeling smugly
self-satisfied about the whole affair and who spent the small hours of last night crying into their
pillow at the injustice of it all. Here, in no particular order, are the four biggest winners and
losers to emerge from yesterday's dealings.
