In which the majestic, graceful, honest and British Gareth Bale is unfortunate enough to run
headlong through a hotspot of intensely strong gravity caused by solar flares reflecting off the
twin moons of Tatooine at Anfield on Monday night.
Poor Gareth.

Whereas I'm pretty sure it would have still gone in on the other side of Joe Hart's goal, Darron
Gibson's heavily deflected winner against Man City last night saw his old club Manchester United go
level on points with their rivals at the summit of the Premier League pretty much making his goal
last night the best thing he ever did for United, indeed they were chanting his name 30 miles away
at Old Trafford when the news broke.

We'll have a few more bits and bobs from last night's second-leg El Clasico shenanigans over the
course of the morning, but for now you'll have to make do with this Dani Alves' angled, first-time,
top-corner screamer to put Barca two goals up on the night and three up on aggregate.

I know this is in incredibly poor taste, but a) it's 'Off-Shore Harry' and, b) it made my
snort boiling tea all over my lap so I don't care...
Thanks to Pies fan Neil for the nudge.

In which, shortly before scoring the winning penalty in Man City's at-the-buzzer victory over
Tottenham yesterday afternoon, Mario Balotelli for reasons unknown quite obviously rakes his studs
down Scott Parker's Tibetan Fox face...
Not our Mario's finest moment.

What we have here is Arsenal trio Mikel Arteta, Laurent Koscielny and Robin van Persie posing
in a clutch of brilliant but slightly creepy 'moving photographs' (or 'cinemagraphs' to give them
their proper name) for Citroen.
The effect is really quite weird an otherwise static photo, just with the slightest hint of
movement here and there.

He may be a bit of a luxury player at times, but when Michael Carrick gets it right it's usually
a treat to watch just look at the arc on this beauty, putting Danny Welbeck through on goal with a
sumptuous 25-yard needle-threading pass against Bolton yesterday.

One to cut out and keep for all those misty-eyed Gooners out there, Thierry Henry's trademark

Better late than never, this brilliant GIF made us all chuckle like fools yesterday but we had

Seeing your team squander a whole load of chances in the first half and then capitulate in the
second would be enough to make anyone a teeny bit frustrated at the very least. However, the
failure of Theo Walcott in particular, to make the most of Arsenal's first half dominance looks to
have sent Arsene Wenger a bit mad.

There was an incident that was missed by referee Mark Clattenburg during the first half of
Chelsea's 2-1 win over Man City at the Bridge last night that has sparked a fair bit of debate in
internet circles this morning, despite not really being mentioned in the national press, in which
Yaya Toure both 'kicked' ('nudged' being a fairer assessment) Juan Mata as he sat on the turf then
slapped the Spaniard around the head for good measure a few minutes later.

Arsenal (or 'Arsenal B' to completely truthful) ended their Champions League group stage
campaign with a bit of a whimper, going down 3-1 to Olympiakos in Greece. Rafik Djebbour, David
Fuster and Francois Modesto all did the business for Olympiakos while Yossi Benayoun scored
Arsenal's consolation on a night which was perfectly encapsulated by Vito Mannone's bollock-drop
par excellence.

You'll be glad to know that moments after this grotesque belly-flop, Seb Larsson conspired to
miss the penalty he successfully conned out of referee Phil Dowd in woeful fashion, after which
Wolves toddled up the other end and equalised within 25 seconds (skip to the 7:00 mark).

Back in 1988, when football was a man's game, Real Madrid's Juanito was (perhaps unsurprisingly)
banned for five whole years for this brazen double-whammy, back-stamping, cheek-mashing assault on
Bayern Munich's Lothar Matthaus as the German midfielder lay pole-axed between the legs of the
referee.

Robin van Persie's first goal against Dortmund last night was a fine finish in it's own right,
but it wouldn't have been possible without a little bit of jinky magic on the touchline from one
Alex Song a brilliant passage of play which you can now enjoy again and again and again and
again until the internet runs out of batteries.

Real Madrid opened up a three-point gap at the top of La Liga with a 2-3 away victory over
Valencia last night and, after Cristiano Ronaldo bagged Real's third, Jose Mourinho celebrated by
saddling up Jose Callejon and taking him for a poker-faced piggyback down the touchline.

I've been searching for this little gem since spotting it on MOTD on Saturday night, in which we
see a dewy-eyed Wolves fan (in a rather splendid Koala bear hat) bursting into tears after seeing
her side go two goals down to Swansea after about half-an-hour.

Would you just look at that pass? Heavenly...
Just wish this GIF also showed Silva's sumptuous little juggle to pull the ball down out of the
air a split-second earlier.
This way to see the goal in all it's glory.

Mario had a funny old day on Saturday; telling the Villa fans to shut-up on several occasions,
raging at Yaya Toure for a slightly misplaced pass, being kicked in the kidneys while prone by said
Yaya Monster for said rage, tracking his man back into his own half!

Several months after first meeting him for the first time in Barcelona, Lionel Messi promised
10-year old double-amputee (and bona fide, card-carrying 'Messi superfan' his prosthetic legs are
inscribed with Messi's name and shirt number) Soufian that he would dedicate a goal to him if when
he scored the day before Barca tonked Osasuna 8-0 on Saturday and the man kept his word, patting
his legs after prodding home his first goal of the evening.
