Dirty Tackle 15 November @ 10:06 PM EST
Soon after the start of Saturday's 0-0 friendly between Italy and Netherlands, an Italian fan
ran out onto the pitch wearing a Superman t-shirt with "Cassano in Nazionale" (Cassano in the
national team) written on the front and back. Once he got his shirt message of support for the
ignored Sampdoria striker seen (hooray for s-words!

I know, the Cassano-National Team debate is getting old and boring. But this was too funny. In
the 5th minute of the game yesterday, a fan ran onto the pitch wearing a t-shirt with the Superman
logo and with the words "Cassano in Nazionale" (Cassano on the National Team). He jogged
around the pitch for a while and then made his way off the pitch and was promptly arrested.

It's one of the oldest jokes in the book, but it will keep on getting used anyway. Referees
are often the focus of a lot of negative banter including the recent incident in which Alex
Ferguson called out a ref for being out of shape and unable to keep up with the action. The
refs (in short) are often called horrible names most of which I will not even get into.

This photo of Crystal Palace boss saves Rafa Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez escaped an FA
disciplinary hearing with just a warning about his future conduct after successfully presenting a
picture of Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock as his defence. Benitez looked to be in hot water

Anfield Talk 13 October @ 01:15 PM EST
The Liverpool manager, Rafael Benítez, has been cleared of two charges brought by the Football
Association following comments he made regarding the referee Phil Dowd after Liverpool's 2-1 defeat
to Tottenham on the opening day of the season.
Benítez had criticised Dowd for failing to give Liverpool a penalty after Andriy Voronin was
levered off the ball in the Tottenham penalty area.

Liverpool co-owner George Gillett recently told fan group Spirit of Shankly that Rafa
Benitez is the man to blame for the club's underwhelming start to the season. While throwing his
manager under the bus may not sound like the classiest thing for an owner to do, it really does
make a lot more sense in the context of the full discussion.

So I'm a couple of glasses in (Cabernet) but the Loko performance tonight was sublime. Marc, Jon,
Ronny, Chris A, Chris Re, Chris Ro, Mike K, Mike M, Nick Esp and Benny D and me did the magic
tonight. 2-0 and all about the commitment and the toil.
It was truly hairy chested footie, boiled down, essence like.

Ciro Ferrara: are you familiar?
He's the 42-year-old Juventus manager and it looks like he's just plain had enough of Pep
Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Leonardo getting all the fash-respect out there.
To resolve this situation, he has taken on a moonlighting gig as the face of the brand Re Del
Mare.

Liverpool boss makes a spectacle of himself It hasn't taken Rafa Benitez long to get back into the
swing of his crazy press conferences. Following Liverpool's defeat to Tottenham on Sunday, the
Spaniard was asked what he thought of referee Phil Dowd's performance. Benitez reached into his
suit pocket, pulled out his glasses, showed them to the [.

It was roughly one month ago when the Dynamo was looking up at Chivas USA in the points
standings. The Goats had more points but it was understandable because they had played more games.
If I remember correctly, the Dynamo had two "games in hand" (a soccer expression I dislike, among
many others).

Listen, I know that Arsene Wenger's latest comments about the possibility of bringing players in
doesn't look good but I really wouldn't take him at face value for it!
Wenger is not going to let the world know that he wants to make signings because it immediately
gives the target's club a leg-up.

In yet another reason why the Internet rules, Soul Train has its own YouTube channel.
I can be 98% sure that, in the mid-70s, I was the only boy in my neighborhood who watched Soul
Train. Obviously, I had no idea why it was such a culturally important show, and it didn't matter
that the dancers or performers looked like nobody I knew.

You know, I was kind of down on FC Dallas' "Drew Carey glasses night" promotion a last week; I just
found it odd that the fashion foibles of the owner of the opposition was made the draw instead of
Freddy Ljungberg or something. But hey, they've redeemed themselves though with their excellent
Memorial Day promotion: a crawfish boil!

That was much better, another defeat would have seen many a Gooner tear shed into pont glasses up
and down the country, thankfully a little pride has been restored and we didn't fall apart again at
Old Trafford. Overall I thought we were the better side, although we didn't create a massive number
of clear cut chances, we had more possession, hustled well in the midfield and defended well on the

I have gotten a lot of "hate mail" calling me names, telling me what they were going to do to
me, etc from members of the L.A. Riot Squad as a result of the previous article. I found those
comments pretty childish and I am sure those individuals do not represent the L.A. Riot Squad as a
whole.
