Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was cutting an increasingly frustrated figure during the first-half of his side's match against Manchester United this lunchtime. After his refusal to shake Evra's hand before kick-off, Suarez was jeered throughout the first-half. He then showed his frustration very publicly when he felt he should have had a free-kick when through [.

As the dust clears from the impact of the news that Fabio Capello had called it a day with/been fired by England, the Football Association have a minor headache to deal with in their search for a replacement.
Harry Redknapp has had his name on the job for some time, at least since Tottenham Hotspur's dazzling display in last year's Champions League convinced the doubters he could cut it in international football.

Fabio Capello showing what he thinks of the FA's decision to nix Terry's captaincy

The FA and Fabio Capello are increasingly at odds with each other over John Terry's captaincy. The Italian was vocal in his support of the Chelsea defender using the cover of the deferred legal case as a presumption of innocence till proven guilty.

You could be looking at the Annual Congregation of Munich's Santa Clauses, except this photo would've been only complete if Mario Gomez joined the bench instead of looking down at them! During Bayern's 1-1 draw against Hamburg over the weekend, there was a lot of frustration and anger from all corners of the club.

Philadelphia Union

Several Union players talk about preseason training at YSC SPorts last week. The team landed in Orlando on Sunday.

Danny Califf, acknowledging that only he and Brian Carroll are the only players remaining on the Union who are older than 27, tells MLSsoccer.

Andrei Arshavin has not appeared for Arsenal since he came on as a sub against Man United, which sparked a barrage of booing against Arsene Wenger as the Russian walked on the pitch. Arsenal fans had been severely critical of the 30 year-old this season anyway after a series of lacklustre and lazy-looking performances for [.

My first visit to White Hart Lane came in February 2001. It was an FA Cup Fifth Round tie against Stockport County. My uncle had driven up from Southampton on the morning of the game and surprised me with a ticket.

I fell in love with the stadium and the atmosphere. I loved being part of the crowd and watching Spurs easily dispose of the opposition as they won 4-0.

"Not good enough."

Three words used often by football fans to describe aspects of the club they support. They're used in relation to certain players, performances, the manager, the board, the price of a pint and a pie, how their club handles various communications, pretty much anything they've got the hump with for one reason or another.

As the losses continue and the supporters' frustration grows, what next? Steve Wright argues Forest fans should come together and contribute to the direction and vision of the club. There will come a time in the future of Nottingham Forest when the club will have to find a way to unite. For so long now [.

Match Report Video By the numbers

I know for many people the word they might use to sum up this Arsenal season would be stronger, much stronger, than 'frustrating', but that's what seems to fit for me this morning.

On Tuesday night Chelsea, our main rivals for 4th spot, dropped two points against Swansea.

Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has invited trouble after kicking out at Brighton & Hove Albion left-back Adam El-Abd during the Magpies' 1-0 defeat in the FA Cup on Saturday.

The incident occurred in the second half following a tackle from El-Abd. Unfortunately for the 27-year old defender, the tussle ended with a bloody lip.

A little gallows humour can go a long way. Kettering Town's patchwork team played Gateshead in the Blue Square Premier in Tuesday night. Another crowd of under one thousand, another critical evening in a relegation battle that may yet prove to be highly important should the club somehow scrape through its current woes.

Juventus were crowned Serie A Winter Champions after one of their most controlled performances of the season on Saturday night. Atalanta have proven to be tough opposition for any team, especially at home where their only defeat prior was to champions Milan. But, the Bianconeri overcame early frustration to eventually overcome the Nerazzurri with relative ease.

Liverpool left-back Fabio Aurelio is fit again after his recent injury blow, and despite the frustration of having to deal with regular setbacks, the Brazilian is raring to go. However, it has been difficult for him to actually get into the team, something he admits is very frustrating.

Reserve coach Rodolfo Borrell believes Liverpool might be forced to adopt a more direct style of play as they look to overcome a physical Blackburn side at the Academy on Tuesday.
Rovers have yet to win a reserve game so far in 2011-12, but they did prove a tough nut to crack when the two sides shared the spoils in a goalless draw back in November.

So I started writing a blog the other night, canned it, and came back to it again with the intention of letting time dilute my disappointment. Why? Well the first effort was just too doom-laden, hairshirt-wearing, chest-thumping and – well it was a miserable read all round. I didn't enjoy writing it so I added one and one together, made two, and realised that nobody of a sound mental disposition would much care to read it either.

On the eve of one of the more important matches of the season for Real Madrid, manager Jose Mourinho is making headlines again for all the wrong reasons.

According to reports out of Spain, Mourinho is letting it be known that he wants out of Madrid at the end of this season, which would be two years into his four-year contract with the club.

So many times he's saved us. The forward bursts through, draws back the hammer and pulls the trigger, eyes not on the ball but on the expectant net only to find that in a whirl the object of his desire has disappeared, swept away by the sweetest of tackles. No bone or muscle, it's the timing that has defeated him.

Some historical context first.
Back in March, 2004, we were leading United by a single goal at Highbury. As the game entered the final 10 minutes, Arsene put Pascal Cygan (remember him) on for Freddie Ljunberg, in an attempt to sure up our defence and see the game out. Instead, Cygan went AWOL up the field, United pushed forward, and Saha scored a later equalizer to deny us the victory.

It's been a frustrating period for Jermain Defoe whereby he has spent most of his time on the bench in recent weeks. Despite scoring some valuable goals when he has been on the pitch, the striker is a firm third in the White Hart Lane pecking order behind Adebayor and VDV.

JD will surely get his chance this weekend however as Adebayor is forced to sit out the game against his parent club and in his newspaper column, manager Harry Redknapp almost went overboard in praising his ‘back up' striker.

Ha! Tim Ream's wife Kristen should know by now American soccer nuts are a skittish type.Here's the just-confirmed skinny: All agreements are in place for the move to Bolton. The frustration Mrs. Ream had yesterday was in regards to rescheduling her hubbie's UK work permit hearing. It would seem that Wanderers are trying to get approval before announcing anything.

Happy Wednesday to you. Several things on the docket today. The first thing that caught my eye was this week was Vancouver's acquiring of Etienne Barbara's rights. Barbara was a fantastic player for much of the 2011 NASL season. His 20 goals and many assists earned him Golden Boot honors for North America's second tier.

Arsenal FC: Where EXACTLY Are We Now? by Lorenzo Sallows Lying 5th In the Barclays Premier League, level on points with a distinctly average Newcastle United outfit, this season has been one of marked disappointed and frustration for all those who support Arsenal. Goals have become a priceless commodity with only Robin van Persie willingly [.

Sacrificial lamb?

The fallout from the defeat to Swansea has been dire and depressing. The "Wenger OUT!!" brigade has come out in full force after going into hiding for a good few months now. Granted, they had no reason to voice their concern during that period. What with the wins that we kept racking up and the continual move up the table.

Winning ugly is something we're all familiar with, despite the doubts expressed in this blog over the years that's an over-used euphemism for a lousy performance that we've got away with. Call it resilience or luck if you like, one reason for Spurs' success in this time is our improved ability to sneak a win when we are off-colour.

Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing have struggled to make any consistent creative impact in the league this season, and against Stoke City yesterday, it was the same old story: lots of huffing and puffing, but no end product. After watching the game, former Liverpool defender Jason McAteer admitted that frustration over the pair's ineffective performances is growing.

Of all the things that disconcert me about the Emirates experience one of the most boring and unnecessary is the crowd shouting shoot when a player is anywhere inside the opposition half.

I mainly sit in the lower tier when I can get a ticket and behind one of the goals. At the Wolves game a number of build up passes would be greeted with growing cries of shoot, no problem you would think, but the perspective from the lower tier is such that when the ball is up the other end there is no way you can judge how far the ball carrier is out from goal or otherwise.

Have at the 20 minutes highlights before it is taken down. Stefan Savic brings down Daniel Agger and Steven Gerrard converts the PK in the 12th minute. Liverpool were much the better team for large parts of the match in the first half. In the second they played good hard defensive ball to deny City at the Etihad.

Former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez had a difficult time at Inter Milan, and after six months in the job, he signed a 'mutually satisfactory agreement' to leave the club. Since then, Benitez has maintained that the underwhelming performance of his team was down to a lack of support from the Inter Board, and his recent comments suggest he still harbours major frustration over this.

With the Carling Cup semi-final first-leg fast approaching, Anfield legend Tommy Smith has urged Liverpool to learn from the mistakes that condemned the club to defeat against Man City last week. Smith pulled no punches as he outlined his 'frustration' over Liverpool's 'poor' performance in the 3-0 defeat, and gave his view on what the club needs to do to beat City on Wednesday.

This news item has been reproduced from today's media.

Stories of loud and obnoxious soccer parents are not hard to come by. We've all encountered them, though in my experience they're not as widespread as the media would lead you to believe. When you do encounter them, it's usually a couple of parents being loud and/or obnoxious while the other parents behave (and often try to get as far away from the loud ones as possible).

Liverpool goalscoring legend John Aldridge seems to be losing patience with Andy Carroll, and he's once again called on the striker to improve in one crucial area of his game.Aldridge recently insisted that Carroll's positioning was 'poor' and his tactical awareness was 'frustrating', and after watching him play against Newcastle last week, Aldo's frustration with the beleaguered player seems to

I'll keep this brief because I'm so gutted that we have thrown three points away against a Fulham side that we really should have beaten. There were certainly many reasons for our defeat today, some we couldn't do anything about such as Lee Probert's pathetic refereeing performance, but the sad thing was that there were many things we could have done something about, and that is the frustration.

Let's not beat around the bush here and let's tell it like it is. We've seen two managers, drama, controversy, speculation, excitement, frustration and find ourselves at the turn of this year in the exact same position as we did a year ago. Isn't it strange how things have turned out!
This is my review of 2011 and a year on my blog as written by me, a lifelong Chelsea fan giving you my take on everything that happened.

Rocky Visconte was the man of this match. Not because he was the best player, but because he played so much better than he has before. Ange starting him over Issy added new Broich like movement to the Roar on attack. For the first time in 5 games, Brisbane had a midfield that was always searching forward, looking to beat the first defender and so drawing the second across and creating space elsewhere.
