Prizes, thats what points mean, and today we are going for the Brucie Bonus
I am still smiling from a comment London made yesterday. The wise man had found out that our
game against Sunderland was being shown live on Italia television and that all we have to do is
find a good Italian bar, sit down with a few beers and watch the game.

A short and fun interview with Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown, courtesy of talksport.
Did you know that Wes Brown was playing for United back in 1999? The lad gets very little credit

...Or at least if you had just read the reactions from the fans and trigger-happy journalists,
you'd think this is what Henry had actually done:
On a serious note, the 'victims' the Irish team have been refreshingly objective about the
situation and have laid the blame squarely on the horrible refereeing and to a much lesser extent
on their own poor finishing as the real reasons why the French and not the Irish are headed to
South Africa.

You've got to feel sorry for the Republic of Ireland after last nights match where they were
cruelly knocked out of the World Cup 2010 qualifiers thanks to a Thierry Henry handball.
Ireland went into the 2nd leg of the game 1-0 behind from a Nicolas Anelka goal in the first leg
played at home last week, and went level in tonights game through Robbie Keane.

We didn't actually follow RVP all the way over, but our Eastern European correspondent (Croatian

Benfica midfielder Angel di Maria has been the subject of much transfer speculation recently,
with Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool all linked with the Argentine international. A

The former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o promised his fellow countrymen that he will buy each
of his teammates a £30,000 watch should they qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Last weekend after

36 year old Alexandre da Silva Mariano, a.k.a. Amaral, is not one player that you would expect
to be the (unofficially) most polite footballer.
Previously playing in footballing danger zones such as Italy (Parma; AC Fiorentina) and Turkey
(Besiktas), representing Brazil 31 times, and winning an Olympic Bronze medal (Atlanta 1996),
nobody anticipated that the former grave digger would have written a thank you note to his most
recent club, Perth Glory.

It's been a long, strange trip for young Lucas Leiva since he first stepped foot on the Anfield
pitch for the first time in the summer of 2007. The midfielder was a highly publicised signing,
after he made his way from Brazilian side Gremio for around £6 million to Merseyside quickly
becoming a star-in-waiting.

From the United-Chelsea game on Sunday...
and then afterwards:
When I saw this in real-time I missed the first incident and only saw Drogba writhing on the
floor. I was worried for a few seconds; regardless of Drogba's antics you don't want to see a
professional footballer badly injured and I was worried he had suffered a spinal injury or
something that could keep him out of the game for a long period of time.

I am a pretentious soccer writer, and a lazy one at that, which means I like my football news
monumental and easily digestible.
In Europe, for example, things are easy; Big Four team cheats, post. Club has really stupid,
flamboyantly dressed owner, post. Accusations of bungs, massively indebted teams, bouts of hilarity
as Old Europe slouches toward American-style marketing techniques (crappyproduct.

I came across a site last week which captured my attention. It's a site not dissimilar to most news
aggregator websites like Footballblips, NewsNow and Soccerblogs. However, the nicest thing about
CleverFootball.com is that the football news from blogs and/or broadsheets are segregated by teams.
So one can read every news available on his/her team at CleverFootball.
