Roo'd Better Believe It!

For Girls Who Can't Do Football 02 November @ 02:17 PM EST
"Roo'd" better believe it !
He's a Dad.
Bless 'im!
His ears will be filled with beautiful bird song.
Although he may have the odd one or two of these.
New born babies can be very demanding.
But they make you smile too.
Congratulations to both! Click to continue reading...

That's how I like my Spuds - Right in their f***ing place

LadyArse - Arsenal and the world of football from a woman's perspective @ OleOl 01 November @ 04:25 AM EST
Well, what a bloody day. Sometimes, it's worth getting up at 4am.

Travel to and from the match went without a hitch (for me and Garantia and least, EII very nearly missed kick off due to the implosion of the underground or something).

We took our seats, all separate and Garantia managed to bag herself a move from a 22nd row seat to a third row one by swapping with some man so he could sit beside his son (she would move again at halftime as we talked some weird woman beside me to swap an 18th row seat for a third row one so we could sit beside each other - yes, I actually had to convince her, and when I asked at first she said 'maybe at halftime - seriously!

Bradley Johnson not eligible to play for USA

Soccer By Ives 21 October @ 10:30 AM EST


It sounded like music to the ears of U.S. national team fans when Leeds United midfielder Bradley Johnson stated in a recent interview with SkySports.com that he wanted to play for the United States. Unfortunately for Johnson and U.S. fans, he can't play for the USA any time soon.

Valbuena (center): Aw jeez, guys don't flick my ears. I said I'll give you my lunch money. Come on, guys. Just don't flick my ears.

Hilton (right): And we said we don't want your lunch money we're professional footballers we get gourmet lunches for free.

Arsene Wenger and Media Controversy

Arsenal Station 28 September @ 11:05 PM EST
If you read Arsenal Station regularly, you will know that I regularly criticize the British press, especially their treatment of Arsenal. Today, Arsenal Station guest contributor, Ted Harwood, continues that tradition with a look at the media's reaction following the incident between Jack Wilshire and Jerome Thomas in Arsenal's third-round Carling Cup match last weekend.

Blues Brambled To Earth

Part-time Pundit 27 September @ 10:14 AM EST


I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Chelsea's perfect start to the season had come to an end... to none other than the mighty WIGAN!? Anyway, I'm almost certain Chelsea couldn't work it out either given that their manager Carlo Ancelotti curses them all in Italian when he's pissed .. Click to continue reading...

Poll Question #3 Result

Against The Run Of Play 03 September @ 11:21 PM EST
Question #3 was: What will be the result of the sale of the USL?
Results:
35% - USL 1 will see steady growth
35% - Doesn't matter, we are all done for when the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012
10% - USL 1 will now prove its dominance over MLS
15% - Nothing will change
5% - Rowdies will find themselves without a league again, just like 1985
A full thirty-five percent of you think that USL 1 will have steady growth as a result of the sale by Nike to NuRock Soccer Partners. Click to continue reading...

Fitter Happier

The Footbal Tragic 31 August @ 04:18 AM EST
Sydney FC on top of the table after four rounds...can I stop pinching myself now?
It hasn't always been pretty (especially last week's grind against the Mariners), but Vitezslav Lavicka can afford a grin. One gets the feeling that they have been lucky in their opposition so far; Adelaide and North Queensland both look like they will struggle to make the final six, and Wellington were utterly pedestrian in midfield last night, with the significant exception of Leo Bertos.

Flicking Fat Ronaldo’s ear

Dirty Tackle 28 August @ 04:47 AM EST

Aw, hell. Can't a man recover from his wrist injury and liposuction in peace? Is that how we're treating legends these days? Flicking their ears as they sit peacefully? I bet Pele's teammates never flicked his ears when he least expected it. Shameful.

And on a side note, this picture reminds me of those birds that perch on big, slow elephants and how the elephants try and knock them away with lurching swing of their trunk.

So Much For No Upsets!

Part-time Pundit 22 August @ 04:13 PM EST

Dani Alves got cosmetic surgery?

The Beautiful Game (2) 19 August @ 07:40 AM EST
Unlike countrymate Ronaldo, the Brazilian didn't get liposuction.
It appears as though he got his ears pinned back a bit.
That's the gossip from Spain, via The Spoiler.
Still creepy though, like that one dude from Star Trek (CLICK THIS LINK, the resemblance is mind-blowing). Click to continue reading...

Gossip on the Guys: Dani Lays His Ears Back

Barcelista 19 August @ 04:45 AM EST
We had plenty of goss and beach/poolside photos of such lads as Pique, Puyol, Iniesta, Messi, Eto'o, even Pep during the offseason; but apart from the Confed Cup and the vague knowledge that he was vacationing in Brazil, what was Dani Alves up to this summer?
Well we know one thing: Before returning to start preseason in Barcelona, Dani went and had cosmetic surgery on his ears - and not because of tearage or some such injury caused by his sparkly studs. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal Target Rafael Van der Vaart Compilation Video

Caught Offside 18 August @ 01:01 PM EST

Some reports, even some fairly reputable ones, suggest that Arsene Wenger may well be in with a shot of persuading Real Madrid to sell Arsenal their midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart which gives us a good reason to show you some of the Dutchman's silky skills. Enjoy. Best to switch off sound though as the music is bad, as in 'make you want to remove your ears with a spoon bad'.

I Have no Idea What's Going to Happen on Wednesday

Center Holds It 09 August @ 08:52 AM EST
It's been a slow process, but I am finally coming to terms with the events that will unfold next Wednesday. This has nothing to do with what will happen at the Azteca, mind you.
The problem is that I won't see it. Not one minute. I'll be on plane heading out to Oakland to work the Cowboys' first pre-season game. Click to continue reading...

Obama hedges his bets on the Mexico match

Soccerblog 08 August @ 10:36 PM EST

At 0-22-1 at the Azteca you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure the odds of the US winning against Mexico is slim. And Obama is known to be a voracious reader of sports stats which makes me believe that he is aware of this record.

So he is quite realistic when asked about the chances of winning against Mexico.

Offside Rewind: Excellent Timing.

The Offside 31 July @ 07:30 PM EST
A premature Premiership four as decided by you. Peruvian NT now looking for applications. Zlatan as a boy; Zlatan is a broken toy. Eric Wynalda returns to make your ears bleed. While Mexico positively thumps their northern rivals. The Special One is the only one for ManU. China lives up to its violent reputation. Click to continue reading...

Can City help us out?

Another Arsenal Blog 13 July @ 08:20 AM EST
The problem known by the name of Emmanuel Adebayor may be about to be solved by the generosity of Manchester City. It's a shame on one level as Adebayor has all the physical attributes needed to be a top striker for Arsenal, unfortunately the bit between his ears has been his limiting factor. His greed and consistent lack of application have let him down. Click to continue reading...

Nev: Owen Is Ideal Now Tevez Has Gone

Republik Of Mancunia 13 July @ 05:54 AM EST

Gary Neville wasn't best pleased with Carlos Tevez's goal celebration where the Argie cupped his ears after scoring at Old Trafford. It appears as though there is no love lost between the pair with Neville looking forward to the impact of Owen now Tevez has departed (and is likely to join the bitters).

Is Tite to join the ‘dance of the coaches’ / ‘dança dos técnicos’?

Sport Club Internacional 10 July @ 11:06 AM EST
After filling the vacant coach's role left by Abel Braga in June last year, Tite is now subject to pressure from a growing number of fans after last night's demoralising defeat against Ecuador's LDU.
Two cup final defeats in the space of a week could have dire consequences on the former Grêmio coach with Inter. Click to continue reading...

£45 million La Liga won't be heading for the Premier League after all

Football Corner 25 June @ 05:14 PM EST
David Villa has today ruled out the possibility of moving to the Premier League after months of speculation regarding his future.

Malouda can’t sing, either

Dirty Tackle 20 June @ 08:56 PM EST

A few days ago we brought you the musical stylings of Grafite and here we have the equally cringe-inducing a capella efforts of Florent Malouda.

On stage with raggae singer Fantan Mojah at his show in French Guiana a few days ago, Malouda is coaxed into singing a few lines of Mojah's "How Can I Be Ungrateful?

I Love Bert Van Marwijk

Ginge Talks The Footy 20 June @ 04:28 PM EST
The movement to ban vuvuzelas continues to gain supporters and steam. Dutch head coach Bert Van Marwijk spoke out against the annoying horns.
"At home watching TV it really was annoying, but in the stadiums you get used to it but it is still unpleasant," Van Marwikj, who is on a fact-finding tour before next year's World Cup finals, told reporters at the hotel his team will use next year. Click to continue reading...

FATBACK 12 - what does Vidkun Quisling have to do to get on a Rossi T-shirt, anyway?

Dan Loney Says It All 19 June @ 06:23 PM EST
I learned a lot this week from the show, at which you may point your ears here.
Most obviously, it was informational listening to Andrew Bell of the Charleston Battery talk USL. I don't see MLS ever expanding there, so I think the Bats' future is pretty bright. Even if MLS expands to 36 teams or something, the USL can make hay off markets 37 and down. Click to continue reading...

How to Make Enemies and Irritate People: Arsenal and Emmanuel Adebayor Set for Painful Break-Up
