As it always does by this stage in the season, the Premier League table is beginning to take on
a not unfamiliar appearance. True, perhaps the advent of Manchester City as the current league
leaders is a marked change from recent years, but with their many millions it was really only a
matter of time before they sauntered to the top of the table.
Portland Timbers forward Ryan Johnson, who grew up in Dorchester, Mass., was voted MLS Player of the Week for Week 6 of the 2013 season by the North American Soccer Reporters on Monday.
Johnson scored both goals (55′, 73′) in the Timbers' 2-0 win their first of the season -over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday.
While the real David Beckham prepares to take on San Jose in the next round of the MLS playoffs, a semi-professional footballer who impersonates him is preparing to play Plymouth in the first round of the FA Cup. Conference South club Dorchester Town beat the odds to qualify for the oldest football competition in the world (and one that Beckham has won twice) and now 27-year-old midfielder/professional Beckham lookalike Jamie Gleeson will try to confuse the viewing audience in his first match on live TV.

#5 - It Appears You've Forgotten Something: Late in the first half of the Everton v.
Birmingham City match on Wednesday, referee Peter Walton awarded a yellow card to Brummies player
Jordan Mutch. Trouble is, while Walton raised his hand and booked Mutch, there was no yellow card
to bee seen as the official had left his cards in the locker room.
