Other than the ghost of Banquo Frank Lampard appearing behind her after a late-night boozefest at Whisky Mist, we've not had any formal proof that Frank Lampard is dating presenter Christine Bleakley.

However, over the last few weeks, many "sightings" of the couple have taken place and "sources" have come forward with details of such events.

A few years ago a film starring Sarah Michelle Gellar called The Grudge came out. I won't lie, that film scared the shit outta me. There's a part when this little Japanese woman/ghost crawls out from under the duvet and it petrified me. I couldn't sleep for days.
Why are you mentioning The Grudge I hear you ask? Click to continue reading...

SHORT SCRIBE OF THE GAME
The first thing you noticed at the ground was the heavy security at the stadium.
Given the stakes were high and big crowds were expected that the organizers had decided to segregate both groups of fans from one and other.
And like most games played in Kallang in the recent years, it would always be the away fans that drummed up the atmospher (Why are we the passive lot? Click to continue reading...

The 26th round of Brasileirao smiled to Palmeiras again. The side headed by Muricy Ramalho increased the lead to 5 points over the second team, and sees the title getting closer. Besides the great victory, Sao Paulo and Inter did not win again.

On Saturday, Palmeiras received Atletico-PR.

In this week's Shit Shot Mungo, Heart of Clackmanannshire's new manager, Celebrity Ghost Agent Eric Hall, has made a number of changes to the team, which leaves Mungo McCrackas as the only living entity of the team. Will his sweeping changes revolutionise the ailing Scottish club's fortunes?

Ah, ghosts... Well, what is a ghost? I've been talking about Argentinian men and Chilean men, but that was just to make it clearer, the way animals are used in fables.  Well, so far it's not all that clear, said Patri. Come on, a smart girl like you... You see, for us there are always ghosts.

Andres Iniesta is off vacationing in where we're going to say is his hometown, Fuentebella, because again, that's where he always goes.
Anyway. Doesn't he look like he's having a lovely time with his girlfriend, Anna? They're too cute. And he's too pasty. Will nothing get this boy's skin to darken up just a little bit? Click to continue reading...

Uneven, unpredictable, and utterly bonkers: This round was typical Tippeliga, for better or worse.

In Oslo the derby-ghost remains un-busted as VÃ¥lerenga failed to overcome a Lyn team possibly powered by the paranormal. Mad Martin's merry men held a 1-0 lead going into half time after a decidedly dull first half, but then in the second it all exploded into insanity, and after strange things had happened in both ends of the pitch the score at full time was 4-4.

More midweek madness in the Tippeliga as Molde try to keep up with Rosenborg, Mad Martin tries to hold on to his job for a few more days, Lyn try to keep the derby-ghost alive and Viking try to be less terrible at football.

Thursday

Molde (2nd) - Tromsø (12th)

The whole Tore Reginiussen-situation is growing increasingly bizarre.

Beauty v. The Beast. This match had a bit of everything. Physical football, fluid passing, gripping suspense, missed chances, penalty calls missed one after another and the charming Didier Drobga losing the plot. Click to continue reading...

It wasn't a league match, or even an official U.S. Open Cup match, but the Red Bulls will gladly take their 2-1 U.S. Open Cup Play-in victory over San Jose. Especially after Sunday's heart-breaking loss to D.C. United.

Head coach Juan Carlos Osorio rested several starters on Wednesday night, allowing his bench players to make their cases for more playing time.

Fabio Aurelio today insisted no-one at Liverpool is yet ready to give up the ghost on this season's Champions League dream despite last night's first leg setback at the hands of Chelsea.
Guus Hiddink's side ran up a 3-1 lead to take back to Stamford Bridge for next week's second leg on a night to forget for the Anfield men as a brace of headers from Branislav Ivanovic and a Didier Drogba strike from close range cancelled out Fernando Torres' opener. Click to continue reading...

After Argentina's historic loss to Bolivia, Maradona will have to re access his strategy & players when playing in high altitude locations. In Bolivia, he completely underestimated the forces of nature and the soccer abilities of the Bolivians. He, however, will soon get a chance to redeem himself when they play Ecuador on June 10th in Quito (2,850 m/9,350 ft) the second highest capital city after La Paz, Bolivia.

It was a good win for Celtic over the weekend against Kilmarnock, but it didn't come without some controversy. They were comfortably leading 2-0 in the 80th minute when Shunsuke Nakamura was tackled from behind by what looked to be the ghost of Christmas past, resulting in a penalty. Frazer Wright, the guilty party (up [. Click to continue reading...

OK, OK, I take it all back. Even Abi Okalaja wouldn't have screwed up this call.
Or maybe he would
Hmmm.
The point is, he didn't.
At least not yet.

When is a goal not a goal?
When it didn't go between the posts maybe?
Unless you are Nigel Bannister of course.
Reading's 'ghost' goal has been blocked on YouTube by the FA, although I did mange to find this. A copyright issue apparently.
A moral dilemma then for the Reading players and management team. Click to continue reading...

QUICK RECAP:

Columbus pwned. Straight up. Especially in the second half. There was no fight.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

+ Play Rojas centrally.
+ Put Parke back in the middle of the defensive back 4 with Cichero.

Well, the window's over, and I've little desire to write about how Manchester City is going to take over the world and has signed Pele, Garrincha, Cruyff and Beckenbauer or how Hicks and Gillett are furiously rubbing two pennies together in the hopes they'll multiply.
But I do want to make sure everyone's aware Carragher has an autobiography coming out (ghost-written by the excellent Brian Reade), and parts are being serialed in the Daily Mirror. Click to continue reading...

Every time young Nick got the ball, he had to look down towards his new feet and told them what he wanted them to do. Sometimes he succeeded but most times they just did what they damned well pleased. Nick was very proud that by the end of the match, they started to listen to him and his right foot actually scored a goal after Nick told it to do just that. Click to continue reading...

The US women have made their way to the Olympic final, with a chance to get revenge for last summer's catastrophe against Brazil. Hopefully, the ghost of Greg Ryan can be vanquished...
With a hiccup against Japan in the opening match aside, the US has looked pretty solid throughout the tournament. Click to continue reading...

If you are surfing to this blog, you probably saw the USA squeak by Japan 1-0 to open up the Olympic tournament for the Stars and Stripes. A fair result could have been 2-1 for Japan, which created more dangerous chances than our boys and demonstrated more fluid passing and coherent defense.
I'll delve into this more later but here are a few quick bits:

SATSUMA-TINGED Simon Jordan has announced plans to sell Crystal Palace to the ghost of Robert Maxwell. The former Oompa-Loompa and Kilroy tribute act took over at Palace in 2000 when he rescued the club from going into administration. Since then Jordan has butchered his way through eight managers, which has earned him a reputation as [. Click to continue reading...

Apologies for the lack of posts; the wife and I are sick as dogs and life at TOR Towers is not unlike that inside a leper colony. Except in the leper colony they probably still don't have to go to work.

Who would have thought that the established Germany team would be in this position as presented by this live online and radio commentary Euro 2008 group match between Austria and Germany live as they are in a bad position and need nothing less than a win to be assured of a place in the next round. On top of that, they have to fight the ghost of Cordoba in this live online streaming match and hope that it does not come back to haunt them, as the Austrians achieved a famous win over them in the past.

Ruud van Nistelrooy again will have a key role for the Dutch. Against Italy he was like a ghost striker. He'd move around all the time, leaving Materazzi guessing what his next move would be. He hopes to do it again against Gallas and Thuram: scaring the opponent, scoring, making Click to continue reading...
