Derby midfielder's inadvertent identity theft Robbie Savage has spent most of his career being told
he looks like a woman, but when it really mattered it turned out he just wasn't quite girly enough.
The Welshman had been due to travel to Amsterdam with the Derby squad yesterday to play a friendly
match.

This Sunday was fairly familiar for me. I was sporting a cracking hangover and woke up wondering
what happened the previous night. The ‘Big Clash' of the day, as usual, didn't match the hype
that it was given. Patrice Evra failed to remember he's a great left-back against Chelsea and an
angry Scotsmen made more comments about a referee.

19:30 Leverkusen v Frankfurt, Bundesliga, ESPN
Leverkusen find themselves one point ahead at the top of the Bundesliga, but they've only beaten
Frankfurt once in their last six meetings. Normally stingy in defence, they conceded two goals late
on last week against Schalke, so the potential for a further wobble here is considerable.

Just as the Second World War had started at the beginning of the football season, it ended in
Britain, at least at what would have been the end of it. It took, however, many years for the
country to recover from the end of the fighting, so perhaps it is unsurprising that the Football
League was unable to resume fixtures for the start of the 1945/46 season.

It's the FA Cup First Round this weekend so, in the first of five pieces about the Oldest
Cup Competition In The World (and there's a phrase that is probably copyrighted by The FA), we take
a look back at Wycombe Wanderers' run to the semi-finals of the competition in 2001.
The FA Cup is a competition that throws up surprise results every season, but some records
remain and one that may never be broken is that no-one from the bottom two divisions of the
Football League has made The FA Cup final.

West Ham may well be going down this season with a string of useless displays and a home record
that even Derby County would be proud of. However, if the Hammers had kept hold of their top
players where would they be now? Top 10, top 6, top 4 or even challenging for the title? Here's our
Ultimate 11 of Ex West Ham players still plying their trade in the Premier League today,
unfortunately for them, for other teams.

The first quarter of the season has brought many positives for Manchester City, perhaps none more
satisfying than the return of academy product Michael Johnson.
The young midfielder made a substitute appearance in the 3-1 win against West Ham and was then on
the bench for the visits to Aston Villa and Wigan Athletic.

Premier League last term.

Gareth Southgate has been relieved of his duties as manager of Middlesbrough Football Club with
immediate effect. The decision was announced in the early hours of this morning and came hot on the
heels of yesterday's 2-0 victory over Derby County at the Riverside.
The win over Derby ended a run of three straight home defeats in the Championship, and it is
this along with falling home attendences - less than 17,500 for the Derby game - that is being
rumoured as the contributing factors to Southgate's dismissal.

Dirty, dirty Leeds. Dirty fucking Leeds. After reading David Peace's novel The Damned Utd these
words cycled through my head for days. They work as an obsessive refrain in Peace's account of
Brian Clough's infamous 44 days as the manager of (dirty, dirty) Leeds.
I knew nothing about Clough, Leeds, and this bizarre story before reading Peace's novel.
