The captain's armband at Arsenal is fast turning into the golden ticket to a move away from the
Emirates Stadium.
A year after Cesc Fabregas stuck a dagger into all Gunners hearts, Robin Van Persie has now
decided to jump ship and join fierce rivals Manchester United for £24 Million pounds.
Man City were 3-2 winners over Tottenham thanks to a late Mario Balotelli penalty that ensured
the Citizens remain top of the Premier League with a 3 point advantage over their city rivals
United.
But once again City striker Balotelli is making the news for all the wrong reasons. Despite
netting the last minute winner, the 21 year old Italy international,was 'lucky' to be on the pitch
after stumping on Scott Parker.
Now the other day we had the rumour of Spurs eyeing up Didier Drogba with a £10m bid and now today
(possibly due to Fernando Torres' current plight at the club)Rafa Benitez is being linked with a
move to Chelsea as he could hold the key to get goals out of our record signing.
Featured on Goal the article looks at possible options for the ex-Liverpool manager as he has
openly admitted he wants to stay and manage in the Premier League.
Most people think of Blackpool as a holiday resort, with the Golden
Mile Roller Coaster the star attraction, well now they have got their Golden ticket to the
big time after reaching the Premier League for the first time since 1971.

Cards on the table I'm gutted by this result, not because I have anything against Ian Holloway
or Blackpool (not at all), but simply because I really, REALLY wanted to see Forest back in the top
flight.
April 2008, The City of Manchester Stadium, and Fulham Football Club were 45 minutes away from
being compounded to relegation from The Premier League as they trailed 2-0 to Manchester City.
45 minutes later and a stoppage time winner from Diomansy Kamara gave Fulham a dramatic 3-2 win
over Sven Goran Eriksson's men as The Cottagers paved a road to recovery.
Until the Premier League institutes a playoff for the fourth Champions League, we'll have to
settle for matches like Sunday's clash between Liverpool and Manchester City to decide the fate of
the league's final golden ticket into Europe's glamour competition.
City is a point ahead of the Reds with a game in hand – and it's playing at home – so if
this is truly to be the year that someone cracks the big four, this match is an opportunity to
strike a blow.
For the first time ever, Dynamo Theory is giving something away! Woo hooo!
What is this glorious prize you ask? A ticket in the supporter's section for tonight's match
between the Dynamo and Toronto FC. I know it's nothing too amazing, but it's a free ticket to a
professional soccer match featuring your favorite team in MLS, so that's pretty cool.
By Stefan Bondy - NEW YORK, NY (Dec 31st, 2009) USSoccerPlayers -- Dilly Duka admits he was a
nobody, a mere blade of grass on a global soccer field. There was no prodigious upraising for the
20-year-old attacking midfielder, no golden ticket from Bradenton or overseas. Only followers of
Rutgers or New Jersey high school soccer would have heard of Duka until last year, when he ascended
from obscurity to become one of America's top.
Last week I wrote about my perception that results become more variable at this stage of the
season, as pressure and fatigue begin to lay siege on players. Lactic acid grips limbs and coils
itself tightly. This is why plucky little minnows Chelsea, with their £50m substitute striker, can
slay the behemoth of Barcelona and their Barcisssistic ballet of passing and write the kind of
David and Goliath script that causes British journalists to writhe in Nevillegasm.
Come on now Joey, our patience here at ITS is wearing thin. I know you are looking for
that 'golden ticket' as mail correspondent Mat Lawton coins it (a very good
article by the way), but it is decision time....
On Leap Year Day 2012 the United States won a game against Italy for the first time, on its 11th
try. But it was just a friendly. It is not a win that people will remember for ages. For all the
glory of Landon Donovan's goal in the 2010 World Cup, it has not defined US soccer. There are a few
defining moments.
The 2010 World Cup Final has now been set, and regardless of the outcome we will have a first
time winner. Of course, neither of the two teams in the Final are historically poor sides. In fact,
both have been traditionally dominant but simply failed to win the "Big One." But, before I preview
the Final later this week, let us first take a look back at the two Semifinals, each of which was
decided in thrilling fashion by a solitary goal.
Tomorrow is the big day, the day the 2010 World Cup finally kicks off in South Africa. It seems
like it was eons ago that Italy hoisted that most precious hardware, the Jules Rimet Trophy, after
Zizou's zany antics involving the hardest part of his head and the center of Materazzi's manlyÂ
chest.
For some reason, it feels like Denmark has been one of the world's best footballing teams since the
dawn of time. The truth of the matter is they've only ever reached three World Cups (two of them
being as recent as 1998 and 2002) while their first (in 1986) was where they finally achieved any
real prominence on the global stage.
We have a month before world cup qualifying concludes its final group stages, so I thought it would
be fun for the next few weeks to look at each continental zone that is still in play.
November will have playoffs in Europe for their four remaining spots, the CONCACAF/CONMEBOL
showdown (which can be either a dullard like Costa Rica- Venezuela, or a blockbuster like
Argentina-USA – stay tuned), and the world-stopping Bahrain-New Zealand tilt.

Finally, all these months of sulking and lack of form have passed and Kun Aguero
is starting to score again in the right places, por supuesto! It's pretty difficult not to
refer to The Dona when a photo of Kun comes up because you know
they're perpetually bounded by Benjie and baby pacifiers for the rest of their
lives.
El Salvador has got to be kicking themselves for giving up those late leads in their home games vs.

to provide you with a special-edition FIFA-branded SE W995 phone, a thing that retails for £500*,
to give away to your readers in a contest," the main thing I felt was a rush of paternal
stewardship.
- Seattle Sounders' announcer Arlo White has been named as the lead soccer announcer for NBC
Sports. This means he will be on the national MLS games NBC inked back in August. He will also take
the lead for other soccer games like the Summer Olympics coming up. SB Nation's Jeremiah Oshan
writes very favorably on the idea:
The first thing you'll notice about him is that he knows his subjects as well as anyone.
