Premature Ejaculation

All Four One, and One Four All! 15 November @ 09:27 AM EST

In what seems to be a classic case of that old expression (translated here for the benefit of all our readers) known as 'Keeping the Mouth', Wenger's masterstroke forward has been done in by those devious Italians.

And so it happens.

There's a reason why the knowledgeable football fan thinks 59 times on an average before calling Arsenal title contenders.

Weekend TV Preview: 14-15 November 2009

Some People are On The Pitch 13 November @ 11:03 AM EST
Saturday 14 November
07.00 New Zealand v Bahrain, World Cup Qualifying Play-off 2nd Leg (0-0), British Eurosport
A treat for early risers to decide the 24th qualifier for next summer's World Cup. A goalless first leg sees the All Whites as narrow favourites to progress. Bahrain haven't relied on Brazialian ringers for their success (unlike their neighbours) and fully deserve their shot at getting to the finals. Click to continue reading...

Shay’s No. 1? It’s a Given

SoccerLens 12 November @ 04:38 AM EST

February 7th 2009, and "moneybags" Manchester City play a televised match against Gareth Southgates Middlesborough. City needed to bounce back after a 1-0 loss to stoke, and they very nearly lost it had it not been for one of Mark Hughes' shrewdest of signings.

Irish international Shay Given was making his first appearance for the Blues.

AZ obliterated/Kroenke/3 points at Wolves please

The Goon Blog - an Arsenal blog. 07 November @ 02:00 AM EST

Another home game, another win, another game with over three goals. Nearly three months into the season and we have not scored less than three goals in a home game in any competition, it shows just how strong we have been at home this season and any team visiting the Grove will be aware of this record and aware of how strong the squad we have is.

Burnley preview

Bitter and Blue 06 November @ 03:38 AM EST
Expectation, expectation, expectation.
With a sense of frustration following four games on the spin, the unanimous feeling around the blogs and forums this week is that tomorrow's game takes on an extra significance. Back at home (easy to forget three of the four draws were on the road) and against a side who have badly struggled on their travels so far suggests three points is a given.

The weekend ahead

Jakarta Casual 05 November @ 04:20 PM EST
Without doubt the highlight this weekend is the climax of the season in Malaysia with Kelantan taking on Negeri Sembilan in the Malaysia Cup final at Bukit Jalil. Earlier in the season some 40,000 fans from the north east descended on the nation's capital to see their heroes take on Selangor in the FA Cup Final only to go home broken hearted.

Siriwjaya's money problems

Jakarta Casual 05 November @ 03:48 PM EST
Sriwijaya have still not been able to pay their players and figure they will be unable to do so until they bank the gate reciepts from their home game against Pelita Jaya on 21 November. The Vice President Finance of the club says he understands the players' concerns but calls on them to be 'professional'. Click to continue reading...

Roma and the ref 2-1 Fulham

Craven Cottage Newsround 05 November @ 03:21 PM EST

Conspiracy theories don't usually do it for me, but tonight's farce is enough to make me pause for thought. If Jack Warner can retain a high ranking position in FIFA than nothing in football is impossible; could it be that UEFA, frightened by Roma's poor start to the campaign and desperate to show off their new Europa League, have issued a far reaching anti-non-famous club mandate?

Gold Coast United Welcome Back Fans, Will it Work?

Pitch Invasion 05 November @ 11:18 AM EST

Last week, we reported on exhibit A in how to alienate fans in Australia by A-League expansion team Gold Coast United's billionaire owner Clive Palmer. The club closed three sides of their stadium, Skilled Park, and capped capacity to just 5,000, forcing supporters out of their usual position in the stadium.

Champions League Report: Predicting the final 16

SoccerLens 05 November @ 02:42 AM EST

Champions League View: Bayern Munich and Liverpool FC could get 10 points and still not qualify.

An entertaining set of Champions League games threw up some unexpected results, great games and the odd ninja (but not a very effective one). Almost all of the big names have a chance to reach the knockout stages, even though the likes of Bayern and Liverpool have made it very, very difficult for themselves.

Wellington 3 v Newcastle 0: '... I'm on a losing streak...'

A seat at the A-League 04 November @ 06:32 AM EST
Brown's in the box dive for a penalty should lead to a suspension - despite the spot kick being missed. Referee Ben Williams should be ashamed of himself the number of times he has waved on legitimate penalties from the Roar, and give this one.
What has become obvious is the home ground advantage for Wellington. Click to continue reading...

2010 Season Weekends

Down the Byline 03 November @ 10:27 PM EST
The possibilities for for the Wizards 2010 home schedule are starting to come into view. Earlier this week, the T-Bones came out with their schedule for the 2010 season, meaning we know what dates the Wizards won't be at home due to baseball being played at CAB. We also know that the Wizards won't be playing any games at all from June 10th through June 25th due to the announcement that the league will take off during the group stages of the World Cup this coming summer.

Potential Coaches

Down the Byline 02 November @ 11:23 PM EST
One of the big questions of the offseason, is who will be the Wizards coach next season? A few weeks ago after the final home game, Peter Vermes talked about potentially becoming the permanent coach for the Wizards, and Robb Heineman said that he wants to have the head coach in place before the MLS expansion draft, the week after MLS Cup.

Hajduk Split Fans Boycott Crucial Derby

Pitch Invasion 01 November @ 09:03 PM EST

Hajduk Split have had a terrible start to the season in Croatia, especially by their elite standards, sitting 14 points behind leaders Dinamo Zagreb after 12 games up until this weekend. Fan anger though with no reports of any incidents or threats prompted police to step-up security during training and at matches this week.

thetwounfortunates 01 November @ 03:34 PM EST
I managed to catch a live match courtesy of the Beeb for the first time this evening. Having missed out on their previous offerings for a variety of reasons, I made sure to be in for Cardiff's late afternoon home game against Forest, and I thought that it was well worth it. Terrestrial TV is usually best avoided at 5pm on the Sabbath, but a bit of Championship football proved to be the perfect Click to continue reading...

MLS Playoffs: Columbus 0 - Real Salt Lake 1

USSoccerPlayers 01 November @ 11:18 AM EST
The weekend schedule attempted to match the excitement of Thursday's opener, and Columbus - Real Salt Lake failed miserably. The reigning champions did nothing to remind anybody that they're the team to beat. Instead, a game full of examples of dire soccer got capped with a late goal and a Columbus loss.

Gunners Today 30 October @ 01:46 PM EST

Hello Gooners. Hope you are all well this friday. Don't know about you but I am super pumped up for this north london Derby. Not that I wasn't pumped for it all these years....

..Living in a place about 200 miles from North london, it used to be pretty hard to develop that aversion for Spurs.

Vive le Foot!

Sanford's Soccer Net 30 October @ 12:08 PM EST
The major non-event of last weekend was the cancellation of the Classico between Marseille and Paris SG. The supporters made up for it by rioting in downtown Marseille antagonizing locals and behaving like the idiots they are. Many arrests, mostly local fans when it seemed like the Parisians started it all. Click to continue reading...

A Win. A Confused Coach and a Two Game Suspension.

The Offside: Valencia 29 October @ 07:11 PM EST

The midweek Copa del Rey match went far better for Valencia than it did for a few of the other top leaguers this week. Though not spectacular the single away goal by Joaquin has placed Valencia firmly in the drivers seat for the upcomming home game.

Joaquin scored a a gorgeous little chip shot to gain the winning goal in the 10th minute of play.

Sriwijaya have that said they could not meet the demands of Singapore international striker Aleksander Duric.
The club who have won the Copa Indonesia in the last two seasons say that they were unwilling to pay for Duric and his family to stay in an executive apartment at Palembang's only 5 star hotel after they had arranged a mansion for his use. Click to continue reading...

Where Did It Go So Horribly Wrong

Against The Crossbar 28 October @ 12:45 AM EST
I was genuinely excited when the FFA announced that one of the new clubs to join the A-league this year was to be Gold Coast United. Here was a team to be based in the fastest growing area of Australia, was backed by one of Australia's richest men and would have one of the more interesting (if slightly insane) characters of the game here in Australia guiding them in Miron Beilberg.

Kelantan fans excited by Malaysia Cup run

Jakarta Casual 26 October @ 06:17 PM EST
ERIC SAMUEL
The Sultan Mohd IV Stadium in Kota Baru is a "football heaven" for Kelantan coach B. Sathianathan.
The former national coach said that teams should look forward playing in Kota Baru and not be intimidated by their partisan fans.
"The kind of atmosphere you get playing here is lacking in Malaysian football," said Sathianathan after Kelantan, backed by a sell-out 25,000 crowd, defeated KL Plus 3-0 in a Malaysia Cup quarter-final second-leg match on Saturday to advance 4-1 on aggregate. Click to continue reading...
