his team mates exactly what he was hoping to achieve by 'offering out' Sydney defender Pascal

There were some ugly scenes that followed Brisbane Roar's 2-0 victory over Sydney FC in the
Australian A-League recently, after Brisbane striker Besart Berisha scored his side's stoppage
time-winning goal: he removed his shirt (not ugly) and gestured for Sydney FC's Pascal Bosschaart
to follow him into the tunnel to 'sort things out' (where things proceeded to get ugly).
Craig Bellamy and Joey Barton were involved in a X-rated tunnel bust-up at Anfield on Saturday.
The controversial pair had a heated exchange of words during the closing stages of Liverpool's
slender 1-0 weekend win.
Queens Park Rangers boss Neil Warnock tried to brush the on-pitch feud under the carpet in the
post-match press conference.

Sunday is a day of rest unless there is money to be made by Sky on broadcasting games. It is also a
day of reflection after the traditional Saturday fixture. I always
have the view that sleeping on opinions makes them more likely to be consistent, logical and
reasoned. I have chosen to give you all my analysis of the main talking points about Arsenal at the
moment.
Full-time: time for kick-off Remember the moral outrage that Barcelona and (predominantly) Real
Madrid reduced the semi-final of Europe's premier club competition to a game of handbags and
theatrics? Well, things are done a bit differently in South America. The second-leg of the
Champions League-equivalent Copa Liberadores final took place yesterday between Santos and Penarol.
In a weekend of one sided cup semi finals, a dose of massive drama at the Emirates.
Two converted injury time penalties meant a 1-1 draw. Liverpool's came with the last kick of the
ball.
Arsene Wenger, unsuprisingly unchuffed, seemed to remonstrate with Kenny Dalglish. Kenny, it seems,
told him to piss off.

They're at it all the bloody time! Footballers love to get their handbags out and swing ‘em at
each other! Most weekends, y'hear about it, whether it's Kevin Nolan, Diaby of Arsenal or whoever,
they all reckon they're hard men. Not in my book though [...]
Some handbags reported in the Man City training grounds between former Arsenal mates, Adebayor
and Kolo Toure.
The reports of Edin Dzeko arriving at the Eastlands has further endangered Adebayor's status at
City. The disgruntled striker is probably wishing he had joined AC Milan when he had the
opportunity.
