The Manual On How Not To Defend, by Sport Recife.

The Offside 12 November @ 01:43 AM EST
This video quickly goes from the worst non-offside call in history to the worst offside trap in history to the worst goalkeeping in history. In essence this video should have all its copies burn and rid from the earth so as to avoid being viewed by a young, impressionable footballer. There are three clips: in the [.

The Burning Question

For Girls Who Can't Do Football 11 November @ 04:30 PM EST
Three Tommies sat in a trench one day,
Discussing the war, in the usual way,
They talked of the mud, and they talked of the Hun,
Of what was to do, and what had been done,
They talked about rum, and – 'tis hard to believe –
They even found time to speak about leave. Click to continue reading...

N’Gog…Takes…a Dive…

English Premier league 11 November @ 07:12 AM EST

So, the "story" that David N'gog took a dive against Birmingham to win a crucial penalty is funny to me because it isn't really a story at all. Of course, it is in Birmingham where everyone is ga-ga over the "cheating" of Mr. N'Gog and those disgusting footballers from Liverpool. I wonder if the fans in Birmingham are as honest as they want Liverpool and N'Gog to be.

Vidic: It Was A Bad Day But I Have A Good Record Against Torres

Republik Of Mancunia 24 October @ 07:59 AM EST

The painful defeat against Liverpool last season was one of the lowest points for the club in several years. Whilst we can point to the whole team for under performing, it's hard to look past the crucial flaws in Nemanja Vidic's game that day. Why on earth he allowed the ball to bounce when Fernando Torres was approaching, I'll never know stick it in the bloody stands!

Politician jumps on Thai football bandwagon

Jakarta Casual 23 October @ 05:30 PM EST
Some Thai politician has suggested that ASEAN bid formally for the World Cup in 2018. Christ, the things these people do for a few inches. Column inches I meant.
First, there is no way on this earth 10 nations can host a World Cup. Second there is no way ASEAN can agree on anything long enough to host anything beyond a gob fest for other politicians. Click to continue reading...

Robinho loan deal to be tied up in early November

All Things FCB : A Barcelona Blog 20 October @ 11:20 AM EST
It seems Barcelona has been brought to earth by the lack of depth in the forward line, as is shown by the club's attempts to secure the signature of Manchester City forward cum winger Robinho, who has grown disillusioned at Eastlands.Reports from Catalan paper Sport recently stated that Manchester City's oil-rich owners have consented to the deal to bring Robinho to the Camp Nou stadium as early Click to continue reading...

Ronaldinho gets the Golden Foot award

See The Cup 12 October @ 05:02 PM EST

I know this sounds a bit weird given the circumstances and the fact that Ronaldinho hasn't played good football since 2006. But yes, he won the Golden Foot award. As we know, though, the point of the award is to celebrate a player's (the ones over 28 years old) career and overall accomplishments, judged by a jury made of international journalists.

The legend of Casey Conor

Something a little different

USA World Cup Blog 05 October @ 07:04 PM EST

I am predominately a fiction writer, but I hope you guys enjoy this little change up.

Blackburn’s day-after thoughts: Is Diaby this season’s Denilson in splitting Arsenal supporters in two?

The Gunning Hawk 05 October @ 11:30 AM EST

Contrary to the last one, Arsenal go into this new International break with plenty to smile about. Back-to-back wins, six goals, players clicking together, Cesc Fabregas back to his best and we're also closer to the top of the table.

Writing about such an incredible win comes easy, reason why I prefer amongst other things of course to expand a little on Abou Diaby.

Pottinger tackles… They think it’s all over

Inthestands.co.uk - Football Banter For the Masses - Football Blog 02 October @ 10:46 AM EST

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

It isn't yet...

Reading some of this shit just makes my brain explode. How on Earth is Ken Bates Leeds' Chairman? He doesn't own the club? He doesn't know anyone who owns the club? It wouldn't suprise me if Leeds were actually owned by Harry Potter, or those fucking dogs playing cards in that picture.

The MLS Hall of Shame: Cuauhtemoc Blanco

Soccer Tickets Online 24 September @ 07:00 AM EST

Background: Blanco is like Neil Diamond. You either love him or you hate him. Either way, you can't deny that he is one heck of a soccer player. The man was born to play the game. He even has a juke move named after him ("the Cuautemiña"), which makes him a living legend.

Pep Guardiola: Eco Warrior

KICKETTE 21 September @ 07:29 AM EST

We love a man that makes a statement. And Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola's statement seems to be that he participates in glute-focussed squat training.

We've never been as environmentally friendly as we should be, but suddenly we feel compelled to dust off our Brita filter, grow our own alcohol and start an eco-friendly cosmetics line.

Tevez expects ‘good reception’ at derby - yeah, right!

Red Rants 18 September @ 03:26 AM EST

while, in other news, the pigs from Orwell's Animal farm flew around the earth.

Carlos Tevez seems rather confident that he will get a good reception at Old Trafford (assuming he shakes off his injury and makes it). "I expect to have a good reception. While at United, I always gave my best and I had good relations with the fans," he said.

Earth Shattering Liverpool Transfer Rumour: If Only!

Caught Offside 01 September @ 04:27 AM EST

Wishful thinking!

Whilst most clubs are fawning over the internet in search of stories relating to brand spanking new signings us Liverpool fans will just have to make do with what we have, which is a very capable squad that is not nearly large or deep enough to withstand injury or loss of form from our big names.

Good Morning Everyone,

The draw for this seasons Champions League qualifying round has been made. The Gunners have drawn Dutch champions AZ Alkmaar, Greek champions Olympiacos and Champions League newcomers Standard Liege in Group H.

Feminism, the American Pro Leagues, and Latinos

The Fake Sigi Schmid Blog 27 August @ 08:06 PM EST
It's nice to see the discussion in the comments of Dan's article eventually expanded to include issues of homophobia and gender.

Manchester City Close In On Barcelona Veteran Sylvinho

Caught Offside 24 August @ 05:51 AM EST

Hughes to spend nothing on a player, now that's a novelty!

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has made his most surprising move of the summer to try and snap up Brazilian left back Sylvinho on a free transfer.

Big-spending Hughes, set to complete a £22m deal for Everton's Joleon Lescott this week, met with former Arsenal full-back Sylvinho when City played their prestigious friendly at Barcelona's Nou Camp last week.
