Buenas! The realists and statisticians among you won't be surprised that Barcelona defeated the very loveable Valencia 2-0 last night. But as it seems, Madrid are frontrunners to win the La Liga, so el Blaugranas will be hoping to take home their 26th Spanish Cup title title.

Seems like our 'Arry's key defence in his tax-swindling trial is that he, and I quote, "writes like a two-year old", "can't spell" and is "the most disorganised man in the world" ergo there's no way he could've diddled Her Majesty (so to speak) out of £189,500.

The King is dead. Long live the king.

"Well Nick, you've got to hold and give, but do it at the right time..."

English rugby is pretty much in the doledrums following a World Cup campaign that can best be described as a 'fiasco', in which the Rugby Football Union leaked on players, the players leaked on each other and Mike Tindall did a bad thing with a blonde lady in a Queensland bar or so is my limited understanding on the matter.

According to the laws of the game, shouldn't Robin Van Persie have been sent off against Manchester United in Arsenal's 2-1 loss on Sunday? I know when it comes to yellow and red cards it's often pretty hard to keep track of all of football's strange rules. But it's widely believed that an automatic yellow card is to be shown to any player who lifts his team shirt to reveal a printed message on a tee-shirt below.

Terry Henry was a sensation at Arsenal. He remains a Gunners legend. But to sign him on loan for a couple of months would be a mistake. Yes, he scored goals for fun and spearheaded us to glory many times, not least of all during the season we went unbeaten in the Premier League. At no point am I denying he was one of the best players we have ever had.

Martin Lipton on Suarez's eight-game racism ban: The FA have acted with honour

The line in the sand was drawn, clearly and irrevocably. Racism is unacceptable in English football, no matter what the mitigation put forward.
