"Horrible day, horrible decision. All the guy did was give his heart, soul and sweat to this team for two years and this is how you repay him.

Henry Celebrates on His ReturnIt just had to be, didn't it? Cometh the hour, cometh the man and all that. Thierry Henry's brief two month loan move to his former club Arsenal got off to the most dramatic of starts in London this evening, when the French legend scored a scintillating second half goal that took the Gunners past Leeds United and into the next round of the FA Cup.

Mirror: The Adeyemi incident is what you get when you summon the full forces of tribalism

There is no pleasure in saying this, but Liverpool have begun to reap a little of what they have sown. New Liverpool racism row: Fan's abuse has Oldham player in tears When you defend racist language, when you enter into angry denial and summon the full forces of tribalism, this is what you get.

Better late than never, this brilliant GIF made us all chuckle like fools yesterday but we had to wait for a few techy things to be twiddled around before we could post it.

Hope you like, sorry about the wait...

Why Poyet is so wrong to call us colonial for a brave stand on racism

A strange new orthodoxy has spread in the weeks that have passed since racism in football became a mainstream issue once again. It seeks to suggest that actually it is the English who are the bigots for failing to understand that, in other cultures, racism is really no big deal.

The preview chat returns! I wasn't able to get to it for the Vancouver Whitecaps game, unfortunately, due to the travel chaos and havoc surrounding international travel (can we just annex Canada already? I kid!). In any case, this week I was lucky enough to be able to sit down with Zach Woosley of SB Natin's Houston Dynamo blog Dynamo Theory to discuss the game and the team.

Pause?

What do you mean there are only 24 hours in a day! Turns out that 24 are not enough. In between work, family and a myriad of other things I'm just not getting the time to keep posting here (or anywhere else for that matter). So I'm hitting pause on Invincible Bastion for the time being.

Could Arsenal Have Done Better In The Transfer Market?

Like most fans, and quite probably Arsene Wenger himself, I wanted to see decisive action from the Gunners in the transfer market. Sort out the situation with those who want to leave, sign replacements in time, have a good pre-season, and start the season with confidence and stability. I will be surprised if anyone, irrespective of their feelings towards the manager or the board, disagrees with that.

Dear Arsene,

We realise that you are under a serious amount of pressure from both fans and commentators alike at the moment. Many feel that your lack of activity in the transfer market is seriously damaging your Adorkable boys' chances of ever winning another trophy.

Another day often gives one just a bit more perspective and after personally I think those that booed the team on Sunday are looking even more stupid that they did yesterday, time and perspective will do these fools no favours. Arseblogger hit the nail very firmly on the head this morning, there simply is no decent justification for such behaviour.

1993. The year the youngest of United's squad breathed their first. Paul Pogba, Sam Johnstone and Ravel Morrison are all younger than Dumb and Dumber (the film, not the Arsenal centre-half pairing). If that doesn't make you feel old, stop reading this and go tidy your room I'm not telling you again.

Gillette Stadium Before The Gates Opened

The New England Revolution and the Chicago Fire met at Gillette Stadium tonight in a battle of struggling MLS teams.

The Fire had been a bogey team for New England as they had failed to beat Chicago in the previous 8 matches.

First Half

9′ Nyassi sprung free with a great ball over the top from Mansally, he waited too long and got a bad angle though.

Sir Alex has a long-held reputation for suffering no fools and making his voice heard. However, this time his tongue has gotten him into serious trouble, invoking a lifetime "no-touch-line" ban for all gentlemen clubs forming part of the Foxy-entertainment Association (FA).

Memory is a funny thing. At its best it allows us to relive fond memories of friends, events, and times gone by as we sip our favorite adult beverages and look out at the ocean or sunset or something similarly suitable for recalling such things. At its worst, it fools us into thinking that things are still the way they were when an impression was formed.

A belated congrats to new D.C. United loan item Charlie Davies, whom I humbly predict is about to break fools off in MLS for a season (even while wondering if anyone thought to ask if Sochaux have a summer recall option in the deal).These may be up late to some, but you know how we do around here. We love stragglers!

Cristiano Ronaldo isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. That's why he employs Creative Artist Agency to manage his career and image. Unfortunately, the fools at CAA didn't think their master plan thorougly. Sure, he signed to Real Madrid for a staggering £80 million and became the face of Armani. They even got him to ditch the ugly wanna-be glamour models in favor for Irina Sheik.
