Adopted Frenchman Joey Barton doubts whether former England skipper David Beckham can have the same earth-shattering impact that he has had on Ligue 1. The Marseille midfielder said that if Beckham did manage to play against his side for PSG he would probably not be the "main concern" for their defence.
As the seasons change and the roosters will rise and fall, so the Mungo season finale must
finally come to all men. Twohundredpercent raises a hearty and particularly jaunty-looking titfer
in the direction of David Squires, whose Herculean efforts kept Mungo alive and better than ever
before for the past nine months.
You may remember a week or so back when a certain lithe striker pulled his 'Where on Earth is
Dimitar Berbatov?' act, u-turning on a move to Fiorentina somewhere over the Adriatic sea in lieu
of joining Fulham on transfer deadline day.
You may also remember that Fiorentina weren't best pleased, using a club statement to deem Berba
underserving of 'their city and their shirt' after paying through the nose for him
and his agent, Emil Danchev, to fly business class from Manchester to Florence in order to bash out
a contract.
Jerry Bengtson made his New England Revolution debut against New York on July 8th. He scored a
goal in a 2-0 win, and then made his next appearance the following week in a 1-0 loss to Toronto.
After that, he packed up and went off to London for Olympic duty with Honduras, and didn't return
until last week.
"yea ofcouese sell RVP for measly 15 mil to our greatest rival does make sense.How on earth
anybody let such situation to build up in the first place.....now i am hearing song is about to go
too...
This week was for some unknown reason put on the calender for playing some friendly
international games. I think by now you know my view on those crap friendlies. Who on earth comes
up with the idea of just [.
After Arsene Wenger's close season signings of Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, things were
beginning to look up at the Emirates. But then came Robin Van Persie and his earth-shattering
'message' for the fans on his personal website revealing his desire to leave north London. Suddenly
optimism turned to gloom, frowns remaining upside down for [.

I don't want to place too much store in tabloid rumours, but the suggestion that Jack Wilshere
will not return to first team action until at least the middle of September is quite alarming.
We all saw how Tomas Rosicky missed over 18 months of first team action with complications
relating to a hamstring tendon injury.

Why on earth can we fly to the moon and back but still there is no time machine available on
earth where we could put ourselves a few months ahead in time.
If such a machine did exist I surely would make use of it and move myself forward to September

OF COURSE NOT! WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT!!!!
Why on earth would Roberto Di Matteo field a weakened side against Spurs at Wembley in the FA CUP
SEMI FINAL when it's our most realistic chance of winning a trophy this season!.
Forget Barcelona for the time being, this competition is there to be won and Di Matteo WILL send a
side out on Sunday to get the job done and to win the game.
I hope everyone out there who described Mikel Arteta as a panic buy will stand up and apologise
profusely until Tottenham Hotspur one day win the league. In other words, you'll be saying sorry
for a long time. Maybe forever. And ever.
That man is a complete class act and the fact that he was even acknowledged by some as purchase of
panic not only insults him but it insults me too.
The run had to end sometime and to me the result wasn't as much a surprise as it might have been
to some people. Games at this level are very tight and often decided by minor details. Since this
is a late post I don't want to dwell on too many aspects of the game that would have been difficult
to take for many.

No other sport other than soccer can bring out such passion like that of football fans. Enjoy
the passion expressed in these images of some of the most eye pleasing fans from around the
world.
"The Eyes of an Angel Fan" These eyes would make any soccer fan melt.
"The Kid Fan Supporter" This happy Polish soccer fan feels like the luckiest guy on
earth.
We can dig this, 'this' being the work of artiste Elena Gonzalez a portrait of Cristiano Ronaldo
created using images of football stadiums from around the world as seen on Google Earth...
Nice, but not a patch on our favourite Ronaldo-inspired piece.
People of Earth, welcome to the future. As of next season, Lyon are going to be wearing a '3D'
kit in their European games. Three dimensions. Up, Across and Back.
"But the very nature of our human perception of perspective renders all kits three-dimensional,
it's a basic concept," we hear you cry, to which we say "Nay, this, friends.
If newspaper reports are to be believed, Chelsea have beaten Tottenham and AVB to
the signing of highly rated Brazilian midfielder Oscar for a deal worth around £22m.
Oscar, who can play on either side or in behind the striker has been named in Brazil's Olympic
squad and will become the latest Brazilian to join our ranks alongside Luiz, Ramires and Lucas
Piazon.
Read that scoreline again and tell me what it says! Yes, Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona and I will tell you
something, forget everything about the game for a second because that scoreline that we all still
can't quite believe at the moment, is what goes in the record books and is all that matters.
Yes I know Barcelona totally dominated the game, Yes they made FOUR TIMES as many passes of the
ball than we did and Yes I am fully aware that we rode our luck at times as they hit the crossbar,
post and had one cleared off the line.

Earth-Shattering News..... (courtesy of axrosstheline.com )No one would expect this to happen so
sudden!
Shocked, stunned and my jaws almost dislocated upon receiving this shattering news that "Ah Long"
Noh Alam Shah could make a sensation return to his former club, Tampines Rovers (as depicted).
I'm sure you read that title and thought, "Who?" "What?"
Goldman & Zack (*sorry guys, couldn't help it)
Well, meet Max and Zack Goldman, brothers and the new Directors of Operations for The Pali
Blues. For those unfamiliar, the Pali Blues are a top semi-pro women's soccer team and the two-time
defending Champions of the USL W-League.
West Ham fans watching the new season of The Simpsons will see a surprise cameo appearance for their club. The episode ‘The Day The Earth Stood Cool' features a hipster family moving in next door to The Simpsons, including Hammers-supporting son T-Rex. Bart and Lisa visit T-Rex's bedroom, which features a West Ham banner hanging [.
Judging by activity on Soccer Soap Box you wouldn't think that I've been an active Revolution watcher in 2012. In fact, you might have thought I fell off the earth ifyou weren't following on Twitter. But job changes, family obligations and good weather conspired against blogging and pushed me towards the 140 character variety of self expression.
Gadsby previews Moldova vs England. Moldovans consume more alcohol per head than any other
nation on Earth. And England are about to play a football match there this week.
It was a match of a lifetime. It was something that maybe none of us thought was ever going to
happen while we are on this earth. But for a full ninety minutes at one of the best home field

Finally! College football is officially a real sport now. After years of being stubborn, the
bigwigs in the college football world have realized what everyone else on earth has known the whole
time: College football needs a playoff system. Beginning in 2014, we will finally get the college
football playoff.
Newcastle United have been alerted to the availability of Barcelona play-maker Ibrahim Afellay, the
26 year-old Dutch International who is of Moroccan descent.  Ibrahim Afellay - available for
£6M from Barcelona And it seems as if Barcelona are not asking the earth for this player, with
£6M said to be the asking price.
There is pretty much nothing nuh, thin on this Earth more embarrassing to
behold than beatboxing. I'll say it again: Nothing. It's terrible. Cringe-inducing. Down
their with mime and interpretive dance in terms of artistic endeavor.
I had spent a lot of time the past couple of months thinking about the power of positive energy,
and how your own attitude can positively or negatively affect the group of people you interact with
each day.
Mac Anderson of Simple Truths sent along an excerpt from 'The Strangest Secret' by Earl Nightingale
in his email newsletter, and it's pretty amazing and simple to see how you reap what you sow.
Real Madrid celebrated their record 32nd La Liga title at Cibeles a day after beating Athletic
Bilbao to seal the title and two weeks after finally beating Barcelona in a league match under Jose
Mourinho. Madrid also set a new La Liga record for goals scored in a season (115). Given all that,
Mourinho decided to take the opportunity to respond to critics who say his team plays too defensive
and describe his style as "anti-football" compared to Barcelona's tiki-taka approach.
ichael Parkhurst and Nordsjaelland pulled to within reach of the league lead with a win over
Copenhagen while Conor O'Brien and SonderjyskE were brought back to earth in a blowout loss at
Horsens.

for every football fan on earth, watching the inner workings of one of the world's truly great
clubs, and seeing things no one outside the inner.

Bank, Rampone launched "Every Step of the Way.
"You know, they say ruining a football club is a lot like making love to a beautiful

bed with her, then once you've spluffed your meagre wad you pull out and run away as fast as your
little legs can carry you!
