Marlon King is twenty-eight years old. His contract with Wigan Athletic was worth £35,000 per week. He has scored twelve Premier League goals in his entire career. Never has in the field of human endeavour has such mediocrity been so handsomely rewarded. For this reason and this doesn't obviously doesn't even take into account what he has been sent to prison for and if nothing else comes from this grimly predictable story, at least Dave Whelan may be breathing a sigh of relief at getting such an expensive burden upon Wigan Athletic's wage bill.

Dean Windass, the Dick Trickle of English soccer, has retired, leaving a hole in the hearts of immature men (like me) everywhere who cannot help but giggle at the mere mention of his name.

Most of you don't care too much about Maccabi Haifa or the Israeli Premier League, but fans of Liverpool, Chelsea, or Manchester United need to be alert - as one of those teams could just meet up with "Hayerukim" (The Greens) in the Champions League group stages.
Haifa, the only Israeli team ever to advance to this stage, easily beat Red Bull Salzberg (5-1 on aggregate) over two legs. Click to continue reading...

Simon Grayson's Leeds side dominated this encounter but only edged through thanks to a goal from Enoch Showunmi early in the second half. Worth noting that there was a substitute appearance from 40 year old Darlington striker Dean Windass!

Let's get the Dean Windass jokes out of the way and get right to some fantasy footie. I'm going to stray from our usual format this week and instead end the fantasy footie season in a stream of consciousness style...Â
I apologize but there is just too much on my professional/personal plate this evening to delve deeply into the top matches of the week and preview this week's results and tactics - so instead I'll stick with a longer version of our usual "Studs and Duds" section as the main body of work.

"Footballers are stupid, give them a bit of responsibility and watch them mess up" -Brian Clough Clough was a manager who prided himself on discipline, he may not have been squeaky clean, but rarely would you see one of his Derby or Nottingham Forest players pick up a needless, or avoidable, yellow or red card.

So Arsenal's half-year finances are out and in all fairness, for being in a recession, they did pretty damn good.

I'll be the first to admit that before the season started, I was looking forward to seeing the 2008/09 Portsmouth team assert themselves within the top ten. I'll also to be the first to admit that Portsmouth have been the second most disappointing side this season (second only to Tottenham).

39-year-old striker finds new life in nets OK, we knew Dean Windass was desperate to play football, but as goalkeeper for Oldham Athletic?

Another quiet 24 hours in English football then!
A brace of managers bites the dust.
Unlike Tony, I'm not really surprised that Pompey has let him go.
Bit more taken aback at the timing of the Che$ea sacking though.

So Andrei Arshavin is starting to make loud noises about his future, and it doesn't look like playing in Russia is a part of it.  He's telling Zenit St. Petersburg that if he has to, he'll buy out his contract (this is the only link that is currently available, the Telegraph also reported the same [.

Looks like Arsene is trying to sign Arshavin for Arsenal (3 arse's in a row there ) from Zenit St Petersburg, who value their attacking midfielder at around £20 million. Arsenal will probably have made a much lower offer for the player, who they feel will be a good signing considering the recent injury [. Click to continue reading...

Rory Delap's long throws for Stoke have been causing headaches for Premier League opposition all season. Just ask Arsenal.

I think Rob Smythe said it best when he described this year's Premier League season as a David Lynch movie: the more you watch, the less you understand.
