When we're not watching the footie, we love nothing better than kicking back with an industrial sized bucket of popcorn and criticising the hell out of the latest offerings from Hollywood. We were therefore thrilled when a "Movie Titles To Describe Your Sex Life" thread broke out on Twitter yesterday.

We'd like to tell you a brief story.
After two relegations in a row Stockport County appointed former German international Didi Hamann as manager three months ago.
And it is already looking as though a third demotion from the Conference National is on the cards as County are level on points with Lincoln City who occupy the fourth relegation slot currently.

More Seattlish stuff...

(First, apologies, if you just flew over from Twitter based upon a certain Megan Fox tweet that bent the truth. This is, afterall, a piece on marketing. Read on friend for the connector.)

A great tweet on Sunday for MLS: 64,140 people watched Seattle beat San Jose in MLS this weekend.

Name football's dirty players. Paul Scholes, perhaps. Midfield hardmen like Lee Bowyer and Joey Barton. Football's hard-tackling cheats are idiots, aren't they?

Still one match left to go and we still haven't seen Spurs play. That aside, here are some observations from a weekend where I got to watch a pretty serious amount of footie. Here we go... Mo Rules - As we mentioned over the summer, buying road players is a dodgy proposition. Exhibit A from this weekend is Manchester City.

This is sure to bring out the pitchforks and torches from the FIFA faithful: this year's version of the finest footie game around will only feature a partial selection of MLS clubs. To say this is disappointing is an understatement; how else can Red Bull New York win the league if not for a prolonged campaign of late-night button mashing on my couch.

Michael Owen snapped this shot of his son, James, sporting his own (mini) England NT kit before the father and son duo skipped out to a kiddie training session. Seeing Mikey's boy all proud in his footie clobber was so overwhelmingly endearing that even our office wheelie chairs caved to the cuteness.

Welcome to The Weekly Five. Each week I address a topic by presenting a list of five examples that support, oppose or simply relate to the subject.
There is no doubt that the English Premiership, one of the top (if not the) best soccer leagues in the world, is better than Major League Soccer.

If you're in Seattle ahead of Saturday night's big Sounders-Timbers steel-cage death-match, you should make it a point to stop by Golazo HQ on Friday night. The footie-fixated energy drink manufacturer are throwing what looks to be a proper party under the moniker of Los Fanaticos featuring 3v3 soccer, DJ's, FIFA 11 tournaments, and complimentary (read: free for your broke/cheap/stingy ass) Golazoritas & Brougham Bitter, the bespoke brew of the ECS.

Written by Red Arse

I am a fan! Like many Arsenal fans I call myself, with a great deal of pride, a ‘Gooner'. This clearly identifies me as a fan of the greatest footie club in the world. I bet you do too.

But here is the thing. Although the behaviour, the thought processes and the values of many who also call themselves Gooners chimes very closely with my own ideals, there are many others who seem to have decidedly different views of what constitutes a real fan.

For all the foreigners pouring in from outside Manchester to watch their beloved United play, one defiinite thought must be passing through their collective non-Manc gray matter. it can't possibly be any more mediocre than their last meeting at Eastlands in November. For all those 'genuine Mancs' in sky blue scarves who insist that Roberto Mancini is a tactical genius and a winner, entertainment and money are beside the point.

*The EPL's Tottenham Hotspur hopes/believes/is trying to convince themselves (take your pick, one is as good as another at this point since the Galaxy never confirm any deal until every "i" is dotted) that David Beckham could be on loan to them by Sunday. Details here. And don't you just love those vague comments from Spurs boss Harry Rednapp.
