Eduardo's back heel onto Arshavin, who runs and takes the ball and finds the pass to Diaby, who
sets himself up and scores.
That my friends was the goal of the night and the fourth for Arsenal against AZ Alkmaar. The
football recently played by Arsenal is nothing short of phenomenal, offensively of course.

Without doubt the highlight this weekend is the climax of the season in Malaysia with Kelantan
taking on Negeri Sembilan in the Malaysia Cup final at Bukit Jalil. Earlier in the season some
40,000 fans from the north east descended on the nation's capital to see their heroes take on
Selangor in the FA Cup Final only to go home broken hearted.

Football fans are regularly accused of being 'fickle' but, as Pepe Reina proves with his latest
comments, it seems that footballers also fall into that category!
September 12th - Liverpool had lost 2 of the first 4 league games. Clearly down in the dumps, Reina
stated the following:
"We all want to win the league but right now it's not a realistic objective.

Dear Mr. Goodell,
What has been witnessed all season long at Qwest Field in Seattle is the potential of
professional Soccer in the U.S. Interestingly, it has all taken place at a football stadium.
Who would have ever guessed, 14 years in, that MLS would make its biggest impact in a football
stadium.

Yes, this again. Soccer hooliganism is coming to the USA. Check that: it's already here.
In fairness, the "analysis" is a bit different this time. Whereas in the past hooliganism was all
about things that were (supposedly) going on in Major League Soccer, it is now all about stateside
supporters groups of English teams.

Football fans have become better educated in the mysteries of football finances over recent
years out of necessity as much as anything else, but just occasionally old naiveties come to the
fore. It might just be that they can't believe that things could be as bad off the pitch as on it
at the moment, but Hull City fans are less concerned than they should be about the lack of
financial information coming out of their club in recent times, and now that the information has
come out and has proved as grim as one may have feared, they still don't sem to believe that things
can be as bad off the pitch as on it; despite the phrase "significant doubt over their ability to
continue as a going concern" appearing not once, but three times in a relatively short annual
report and statement of accounts for the Tigers' promotion year.

The swine flu is claiming even more victims in football as Spanish club Real Betis has revealed

The Sultan Mohd IV Stadium in Kota Baru is a "football heaven" for Kelantan coach B.
Sathianathan.
The former national coach said that teams should look forward playing in Kota Baru and not be
intimidated by their partisan fans.
"The kind of atmosphere you get playing here is lacking in Malaysian football," said Sathianathan
after Kelantan, backed by a sell-out 25,000 crowd, defeated KL Plus 3-0 in a Malaysia Cup
quarter-final second-leg match on Saturday to advance 4-1 on aggregate.

The postal strikes, the controversial leader of the BNP Nick Griffin and even pesky little
Beach Ball's are things that we have heard of a lot this week in the papers (though in this
article, we won't mention anymore about the postal strikes or politics). The word 'beach ball' for
many football fans, especially Manchester United fans, would never be thought of in the same way
ever again.

Is it time for ASEAN football to be shown on regional TV?
I was flicking through the channels of South African TV the other day in a bar and I was seeing

was in just 60 seconds.
It will never happene here though.

If Jay Spearing needed a lesson in the fickle nature of football fans, he certainly got it this
week. Given the Lucas Leiva's continuing unpopularity, Spearing somehow became not only a viable
alterative for the Brazilian but also a better player. A sort of 'he can't be any worse than him'
attitude took over.

After Carlo Ancelotti left to Chelsea in the summer, the AC Milan board took a chance with
Leonardo, who played himself to legendary status amongst the Rossoneri fans in mid 90's. On the
pitch, Leonardo was one of the most intelligent players in his era, but he's still unproven as a
coach.
The AC Milan hot seat was probably the most unattractive one for the top coaches in the game, as
the squad is very old, a laughing stock amongst football fans as "the old folks' home for
footballers", so appointing Leonardo was probably the only right decision the board could
make.

I am sleepy this morning. And possibly a bit grumpy. I share no other traits with the rest of
the seven dwarves though. No, not even dopey.
Speaking of dopey how about those Birmingham fans? During the game on Saturday they sang
'There's only one Martin Taylor', to laud the man who broke Eduardo's leg.

How many international breaks (interlull™) have there been this season already?
The game against Ukraine on Saturday – which I didn't watch, incidentally – sounds like it was
one of the more unconvincing England displays we have seen for a while. To be fair to Capello and
the team however, it wouldn't be the first time football sides have turned out sub-standard
performances having previously completed the job at hand.

said sports minister Vitaly Mutko.
