Bookies are slashing odds on the Anfield Cat to become the next England boss. After his fearless display on Monday night, the Cat has been attracting attention from all over the globe. The 4 legged cutie showed more bottle in one night than in 5 years under the atrocious Sven McClaren.

'With England's woeful displays in recent tournaments, a change of direction is exactly what the team need', said the Cat's owner.

Little Harper Beckham did the unthinkable at JFK airport this afternoon on her mum (who handled the well-timed paparazzi invasion like the seasoned pro that she is).

A day after unveiling Quaker Oats as its jersey sponsor, the Chicago Fire made another big announcement.

The Fire re-signed midfielder Pavel Pardo on Wednesday, the club announced on its website.

Newcastle United pulled off a coup today in the signing of Senegalese striker Papisse Demba Cisse. The former Freiburg striker has nine goals from 15 appearances so far this season, and finished last season as one of the top goalscorers in the Bundesliga with 22 goals to his name.

The striker signs on a 5 and-a-half year deal, and the transfer fee is thought to be in the region of £7.

Mientras usted twittea que está degustando un café irlandés en un bonito bar o espera largos meses para (por fin twittear) que está de viaje al mar, el bueno de Cristiano le compite twitteando esta foto (abajo) nadando con delfines en el Kihavah Resort de Islas Maldivas, en rélax después del largo año y antes de partir a Dubai a recibir otro premio.

Once again, the giant globe-spanning Illuminati conspiracy established to keep Liverpool from 'having their year' has come into effect and has demanded that the FA ban the club's most effective player this season for the next eight games and fined a week's wages just for openly and admittedly calling a black man a 'negro' a few times during a game of football.

The Designated Player landscape in MLS is changing and evolving, and even with teams having the flexibility to go after younger DP options or giving players like league veteran Shalrie Joseph a DP deal, the lure of landing a big-name, marketable superstar is still prevalent.

To be honest, Flashscore is an important website for the football obsessive that also likes more than a little flutter.

Finally. The NBA lockout, which never really made that much sense, is over. The NBA owners softened there stances are a number of key issues and a deal was reached early Saturday morning. While both sides have to vote to make this deal official, that is all just a matter of time.

Outside of the fact that everyone hates him, Manuel Neuer's life is pretty good. The best young keeper in the land, Germany's keeper, Bayern's form, getting to take naps while Mario Gomez scores like it's going out of style down the other end, etc. With such talent in front of him on both fronts, it's possible he spends his time back in net brushing up on his trivia.

I posted yesterday on Twitter my concerns over the likely attendance at the Bung Karno for the Iran game in a week when the Indonesian Under 23 team were wowing fans at the SEA Games.

Timor Leste surprised everyone at the SEA Games by winning their opening games against Laos and Philippines.
Now they need to ensure their locally based players, deprived of a league, get the chance to play competitive football on a regular basis.
And that is the main idea behind my latest column in the Jakarta Globe!

There were some good performances from Spurs players on international duty right across the globe this weekend and in particular, goals from Gareth Bale and Vedran Corluka stood out.

Charlie has made a quick return from injury and will provide much needed defensive cover at the Lane and he underlined his versatility by slotting in at left back before heading home his country's third goal in their 3-0 win over Turkey.

The English FA has gone quiet when it comes to Patrice Evra, Luis Suarez, and allegations of racism, but with the case still theoretically open there's finally some new information to talk about. Plus Liverpool's inability to stick with Plan A even when it seems to be working and preparing for a public execution at Wembley in today's news and notes.

It's looking less and less likely that we'll have an NBA season this year. The latest chapter of this sad saga has David Stern giving the NBA players a deadline to accept the owners' latest offer. However, the players have already all but officially turned down the offer.

The deadline, which is the close of business on Wednesday, will surely come and go without a deal in place.

Consider the Off The Post podcast chaps as wheeler dealers, scouring the globe and doing business in the lighter moments from world football, unearthing a few rough diamonds in the process. But while Harry Redknapp might not like the term, these boys embrace their role with gusto, putting in a shift each and every week.

With 20 minutes to go in the October 2007 Merseyside derby, Steven Gerrard was surprisingly hauled off by Rafa Benitez and replaced by the inexperienced Lucas Leiva. Fans and pundits across the globe were aghast at what was perceived to be a traitorous act, but Liverpool went on to win, and Lucas played an integral part in securing the penalty that won the game.
