Ok I cannot help but be biased about this game. My heart is still beating like a drum 10mins after full-time. Let's face it, this is a one sided game. The scoreline will not reflect it as a game of football. Coming into the match, I had no idea which Wigan side would appear. Would [...] Click to continue reading...

As if you didn't know that already. But Toronto FC fans, with all the recrimination, regret, sorrow and the like, should take heart that Real Salt Lake are in the final. Toronto FC finished the season on 39 points, RSL 40. On the ever important last two fixtures of the season, TFC went out winning at home, then losing away. Click to continue reading...

Phil Neville may pull on a blue shirt when he steps out for Everton but the former United utility man is still a red at heart. Neville is currently back in training following nine weeks out with a knee injury but it looks unlikely he will recover in time for Everton's visit to Old Trafford this weekend.

This week's Shit Shot Mungo sees the financial crisis at Heart of Clackmannanshire deepen still further, as the £30 fine imposed by the authorities for playing a match when their entire squad knowingly had swine flu proves to be the final nail in their coffin. The club is forced to put all of its players on part-time wages, but one man (who has been earning £190,000 per week for as long as anyone can remember) may be able to save the day.

There are only a handful of home games left. Currently sitting equal bottom means they are all must win for Brisbane. Not just for this season but for the future of the club. I am sure it will continue next year. But in what form is unclear. With much of the squad coming off contract and Melbourne Heart targeting players like Luke Devere, anything is possible for next year. Click to continue reading...

Rafa Benitez today revealed that he originally bought Robbie Keane to be the linkman between Gareth Barry and Fernando Torres.But when he failed to sign Barry, Robbie Keane was quickly sold "as collateral damage".That clears that one up then. I thought Keane was sold because Benitez didn't fancy him as a player. Click to continue reading...

In his most recent interview, on loan Toon assassin, Marlon Harewood, opened his heart on Aston Villa, getting back into form, new strike partner Andy Carroll and the spirit in the Newcastle dressing room under the 'Chuckle Brothers' dream team of Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Juventus are among the European giants set to battle for the signature of Palermo defender Simon Kjaer next summer.
The 20-year-old centre-back has established himself as one of the most promising young stoppers in Serie A and is likely to be at the heart of Denmark's defence at the 2010 World Cup finals next summer. Click to continue reading...

It's ironically that since that 3-1 defeat to Thailand on Saturday, this blog recorded its biggest viewership since its establishment as it surpassed the previous record set on 20th May 2009.
So as a basic courtesy, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all those folks who had flocked in over the past few days that made it possible to this new record. Click to continue reading...

There are no two ways about it: David N'gog deliberately deceived the referee to win a penalty. There was no contact, no hint of a foul and no reason to go down. It was cheating, pure and simple. I don't blame N'gog though; I blame (a)pathetic Liverpool fans who are happy to condone cheating if it gains the team an advantage. Click to continue reading...

Misfiring striker Andriy Voronin has told of his determination to help Liverpool get this season back on track. Does he have anything to offer or is he a lost cause?
The Ukraine striker has yet to find the back of the net in eight games this season, and to be fair, hasn't even looked remotely like scoring. Click to continue reading...

After last week's swine flu debacle, Heart of Clackmanannshire Football Club find themselves in court in this week's Shit Shot Mungo, accused of deliberately and maliciously spreading the virus through playing an infected team in a recent match. A draconian punishment awaits them, unless Mungo McCrackas or Sir Roddy Bulbs can save the day.

So, a two hour press conference was held by Thanopoulos today. Reporters said it was very sincere, "straight from the heart" kind of stuff. Clearly not saying what he is being told to say but rather what is true.

So, progress should be made soon with regards to Kozonis. A paper should be signed this weekend stating both sides are intending to go through with the deal (or something along those lines) and if all goes well (no arguments or hidden debts suddenly showing up) the transition will occur December 31st.

Louise Redknapp, (seen here with Arlene Phillips and Nigel Lythgoe), was in Manchester last week to act as a judge for So You Think You Can Dance UK, which debuts in January.

Well, at least they didn't ask Victoria Beckham.

If we had to choose a chica to sit on a dance-judge panel, we'd be all over ex-WAG Elen Rives.

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

Well I'm sure you've seen the score by now. I don't really have the heart to repeat it. You may have noted that this is incredibly late. As I said previously I had to visit England to visit my dying grandmother (she passed late Monday night), I got home yesterday at midnight Texas time, 6 AM my body clock time, after no less than 24 hours of traveling.

Yes, I am aware Daniel Agger is not even a left-back but it just shows how badly Insua has been playing. The Reds had their share of problems this season but one of the biggest reasons behind the disappointing results is the fact defence is leaking too many goals. Johnson, Carragher and Skrtel are doing really well when they are fully fit, thus I am positive the back line would be much more stable with Agger replacing completely unconvincing Insua.

So, one point from a game where it won't really do much to help us. In reality though, we could have come away with all three points had we managed to score one more of our chances, or had Saja not made a terrible mistake that the goalkeeper on my own amateur team would likely avoid.

Well, AEKBaltimore will watch the match on TV soon, since I believe he recorded it, and I'm not sure if AEKMAN74 watched as well.

Lambert makes Patrick Viera and Roy Keane look like choir boys compared to her
Got this video above from a buddy in my inbox this morning, "BYU # 21 is a babe."
But that really isn't what we should be focused on at all. It's the crazy, violent play of Elizabeth Lambert that may catch your eye. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has said that he does not believe an early European exit for the club would be a complete disaster.
Reina knows that his side must win their two remaining games and hope already-qualified Lyon can do them a favour against Italian side Fiorentina, but maintains that the Reds' rich European history makes up for this season's woes. Click to continue reading...

Xabi Alonso will never regret joining Liverpool in 2004, despite having the option to join his current club Real Madrid.

Swine flu fever has overtaken Heart of Clackammanshire this week but new manager Gary Burns isn't going to let that get in the way of the club's best winning run in years, in this week's episode of "Shit Shot Mungo", which also lays bare the truth of Mungo McCrackas Lemsip addiction. This week's Mungo is brought to you by Ted "The Neck" Carter (who, if you were wondering how he got his nickname, fell through a roof and broke his neck a little over three years ago, in case you were wondering he's okay now, but he's not allowed to go on rollercoasters any more), and is available in a higher resolution here.

Following his goal scoring debut for new side Persisam, Thai international Pipat Tonkanya will be back in action this afternoon as his side take on Persela Lamongan at the Surajaya Stadium in East Java.
Persela are a strong team at home and are currently unbeaten in the ISL but after Pipat and company deflated Persijap's goal free defence at the weekend, the Borneo Eagles will go into the game full of optimism. Click to continue reading...

Is it only me or is the whole world against us?

Firstly, we have a list of injured players longer than my telephone bill. Then, Rafa has to be contented with playing so-so players because of some friggin owners would not cough up the funds needed for us to be real contenders for the PL. Then we have a game in which we dominate play for such a long period and the bar stops the ball and the only time Pepe touches the ball is to collect it from his net.

Before delving into a couple odds-and-ends, let me first issue a major apology. If anyone out there in Inter-nets Land actually takes my Premier League picks to heart and bets them, well, last weekend I'm massively sorry. Going 2-and-8 is frankly, unacceptable. If this were a reality television program, I'd have been asked to take my laptop and go. Click to continue reading...

This week's episode of "Shit Shot Mungo" features the aftermath of Heart of Clackmannanshire's outstanding 3-0 win last week.

I don't understand a word of it either. What I do know is that whilst 'The Emperor' looked sharp tonight in a hold-up role. However he had plenty of chances to place his name on the scoresheet that went wanting.

Javier Mascherano has warned Liverpool that Sunday's victory over Manchester United will count for nothing if it is not the start of a winning run.

How many times have you heard a sports journo or commentator use the phrase "That kid's got heart!" It is one of those cliches that stands the test of time, much like the classic "he gives one hundred and ten percent every play," and the ever so popular "he never takes a play off. He is always competing!
