Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis was interviewed by Fox on Sunday and he said that Arsenal will never be able to compete with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City in the transfer market but believes Arsene Wenger's focus on developing young players is the correct way to run a football club.

Ep.23 Deadline Daze by Off The Post on Mixcloud The Pod lived the ultimate football punditry dream last night – recording whilst all the frenetic bedlam of Deadline Day played out.

Did anyone really expect Wenger to burn holes in Arsenal's chequebook this month? The general climate in football hinted at no, the fact that Arsene is our boss said no, and the apparent need for backup up front or at the back said – haha – no. No no no.

Deaf Football in Great Britain

I'm well-aware of blind football, but deaf football is something that has been completely off my radar.

Deaf Football in Great Britain has a very proud and strong history, dating back to 1871, a history that is virtually unknown to the majority of the followers of football in Britain.

Sing along now: "There's only one Arsenal."
Or not.
Fans of the Gunners familiar with only the Premier League, or the top four leagues in England, might know a few teams from other countries. Mostly, this has been due to the Champions League being televised so widely. Crazed football fans may watch more games, including from the top European leagues in Spain, Italy, Germany and France but, for the most part, naming three teams in Denmark might prove to be a challenge.

Stage 3 of our examination of the financial architecture of the Football League's clubs sees us head to Coventry. Ian Palmer is a friend and associate of Neil Allison, custodian of the Sky Blues Blog and here provides his thoughts on the slough of despond facing the Sky Blues, a situation that has been allowed to develop both on and off the pitch.

The January transfer window is often a frenzied time with chairmen, managers and agents battling against the clock to secure new players. As a result, many players who move during this period often do so at over-inflated transfer fees and are hit-or-miss in terms of success.

The last scheduled SPANISH CUP ( Copa del Rey ) 1º leg quarter-final match was played tonight in a regional derby between Liga Football Clubs VALENCIA CF - LEVANTE. An entertaining match which gave some great goals , plays & intensity that finished 4 - 1. Valencia - Levante Valencia started more plugged-in than the visitors with rapid counter-attacks that gave their fruit in the 24th min

Since the transfer window was brought into effect by FIFA during the 2002/03 season, football fans throughout the UK have been glued to their televisions, computer screens and mobile phones, hoping for news of a blockbuster signing that will transform the fortunes of their club. With the clock ticking, cash-rich football clubs approach the looming [.

The idea of football clubs being little more than a license to be haggled over like a flapping fish at a riverside market before sun up is a difficult one for many to comprehend but it does seem an acceptable practice in this part of the world; as long as the right people are doing it of course.

Football clubs in England are licensed by the Football Licensing Authority but the idea that say Rotherham United could go out and buy an English Premier League license from Everton and take their place among thebig boys is a bit too much to take; though Everton fans would have a lot to say about being taken over by a team in red.

Or doesn't turn, rather.

This club is something else, and it's all down to Bulat Chagaev, Chechen rebel hell bent on destroying tiny little football clubs from quaint Swiss cities. Despite showing up appearing as though he had bags of cash, and making some signings indicating money was on the way, it's been nothing but a complete trainwreck: a disaster while everyone rubbernecks from beyond the scene.

One advantage of Peter Ridsdale and Graham Westley being together as chairman and manager respectively of Preston North End is that they may only end up annoying each other and messing around with only one club. I recognise that will not have brightened the day of any Lilywhites fans. And I can only apologise.

On day three of cleaning out my garage, I found a pleasant surprise in a 1962 collection of 25 cards entitled "Football Clubs and Badges" from a company named Lamberts Of Norwich. The cards were included in packets of tea ...

You may remember, not so very long ago, when the KNVB Cup match between Ajax and Alkmaar had to be abandoned after just 38 minutes when Alkmaar 'keeper Esteban Alvarado was red-carded (it was later rescinded) for knocking a drunken pitch-invader on his arse and then belting the living daylights out of the 19-year old hoodlum as he sprawled on the turf.

A wise old head is needed to calm the growing tensions between Sir Alex Ferguson and Kenny Dalglish and their teams in the wake of the Suarez/Evra race row.
Forget the Manchester derby for a moment and consider this: how do you extract the bile from the Manchester Ship Canal in the wake of Luis Suarez racially abusing Patrice Evra?

There has been, as has seemed perpetual over the last few months or so, a lot of bad news about recently. Whether we are driving to distraction over racism, looking at football clubs that are staring into the financial abyss or lamenting the death of anything approaching civility within our national game, putting our heads above the parapets of modern football for longer than a fraction of a second can be a thoroughly dispiriting experience, and it can become a thorough bind to even seek to engage with the wider world of football at times.

We had a number of dramas in sports this year but none has affected us Dutchies more than the tremendous Greek Tragi-comedy being played out in Amsterdam. One of the most classic and normally classy football clubs has lowered itself so terribly one can only look on in shame or [read more]

The Italians have elected their "Best XI Team" for 2011 via the Sports paper "Gazzetta Dello Sport". Below is a neat diagram that shows it all with names/Clubs. As you can see its packed with players (coach) from SPANISH FOOTBALL Clubs. Question that comes to my mind: Schweinsteiger better than Xabi Alonso?

There is definitely something in the air. If the landscape of the football supporter has been defined by any single theme over the last two or three years, then the notion of protest and a more general feeling of satisfaction at the way on which our game is being run has to come close to the top of anybody's list.

The EUROPA LEAGUE draw was celebrated today, along with Champions League, were the last 32 Clubs - including Champions League descarts - have been matched. The away games are scheduled for the 16th of Feb 2012 , with the return a week later. Below are the list of scheduled matches: SPANISH FOOTBALL CLUBS have fair relatively well with Atletico de Madrid matched with Lazio, Valencia CF with

In an era of Galácticos, oil ball, and 300,000-a-week wages, it's easy to view football as a revolution. When something is wrong, blow it up and start over. Avram Grant not working out? Try Ancelotti. Ancelotti not the ticket? Go for AVB. If Ronaldo and Kaka aren't enough to be beat Barcelona, maybe Ronaldo, Kaka and The Special One will be.

Since Ju Young Park arrived from Monaco in August he has made less than a handful of appearances for Arsenal.
Now I understand there is always going to be a period of 'transition' for a player coming in from a different country, but at times I wonder whether Park is actually real or a figment of my imagination.

Football clubs social media ranking in December 2011, showing the number of Twitter "followers" and Facebook "likes" (official club accounts). FC Barcelona top the league, ahead Real Madrid and Manchester United. AS Roma and Vasco da Gama enter the top 30.

Don't give up hope just yet. Yes, we know. It got ugly last time around. Very, very ugly. Nevertheless, El Clásico is back and the expectations are bigger than Nicklas Bendtner's ego. It might be a little optimistic, but we want to see a good, clean game between two of the best football clubs in the world.

Sales of football gear derive a large amount of the profits football clubs make. International tournaments like the World Cup and the European Championship give national teams a chance to boost their merchandise sales as well.

Winning is a habit, however, occasionally competitions have to be prioritised and anyone slating the team selection for the Olympiacos game needs to understand that.

Football is down to money, and whilst the Champions League may bring in more money than the majority of football clubs could ever dream of having, one away tie with the group already won can afford to be treated as an insignificant game.
