Arsene Wenger is on the brink of becoming the longest serving manager in Arsenal's 125 year history not to have won a trophy, we can reveal.

History shows that assuming we do not win anything this season which given our current form and the general malaise about the club seems unlikely (at this point I offer a disclaimer should we win both the FA Cup and the Champions League) - on Sunday July 5, 2012, we will have gone seven years and 76 days without winning a trophy.

Saturday 15th October 2011.
Celtic, fresh from a defeat at Tynecastle, are 3-0 down at half time to Kilmarnock.
Winning the title looks a long way off, Neil Lennon's managerial coat seems to hang on an ever shooglier peg.
They came back to draw 3-3, three goals in a 10 minute burst from Anthony Stokes and Charlie Mulgrew salvaging a point.

Freestyle in Rio

If my imagination could expand just a little bit more, then this video is everything I would expect from a Brazilian freestyle futebol video. Beautiful Brazilian scenery and skills filled with high swank to spare. There are incomprehensible skills that simply give off an abstract aura of athleticism.

In the spirit of honesty, I can let you know that I've been writing the same Revolution-focused blog post for well over a week. It's a long winding tale of where the team stands and what you might do differently from a business and marketing perspective. Goodness knows, I didn't have the heart to also tackle on-field possibilities in the same post.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has again defended Andy Carroll after accusing the media of targeting the most expensive British footballer in history.
Ahead of a reunion with former club Newcastle on Friday, the record-breaking £35million striker has endured a torrid 12 months in 2011 after moving to Anfield last January.

Forced goodie, it is - just not for the reason I'd anticipated. Mexican tabloids have sniffed a little something out and ran wild with bemus-able imagination on it, claiming Puebla are in advanced talks to sign an American they figure is either Juan Agudelo or Daniel Williams.Little girl not having it is wondering: "Is that the best they could come up with?

Wigan against Blackburn on a cold November afternoon. Normally not a game that would catch my imagination and certainly not one that prior to this weekend I imagined myself writing about come the start of the week. But one incident ...

Most of the day's action is either wrapped up, currently underway, or about to get going, so we can gradually shift the focus back to Liverpool for the time being, as there's a few pieces of news worth mentioning ahead of the weekend. Unfortunately nothing about Steven Gerrard's groin, but at this point most of you can just rely on your imagination for your daily fix.

There's only one big game left on the domestic calendar and two friendlies scheduled on the international front as we head towards winter. This month''s State of the States focuses on the MLS playoffs, the dampening of Klinsmania, and the coming expansion of the US top flight.

MLS Playoffs - The final is set.

After the West Brom victory last week, I posted an article arguing that the quality of Liverpool's second half performance had been wildly exaggerated. The gross hyperbole coming from fans, pundits and ex-players after the game was laughable, and just served to deflect attention away from the real issues, which were exposed again today by an outstanding Swansea team who, quite frankly, gave Liverpool a footballing lesson on their own ground.

Granted, we're only seeing dribs and drabs, but it seems like Joe Cole is doing alright for himself over in Northern France indeed, the Cockney sparra managed to rack up his second goal in Lille colours during their 3-1 victory over Lyon on Sunday evening, sliding in to score and celebrating by hoisting a conveniently placed Union Jack.

In a little under an hour we take on the impressive Valencia and this is no easy game by any stretch of the imagination!. Valencia are doing well in La Liga and will want to make an impression in this one so Chelsea need to be at their very best to first of all cope with the Spaniards, then to get hold of possession and start to dictate play.

Sometimes I let my imagination get the best of me, and today is no exception. Perusing through pictures of the Azzurri, I wondered what various players would say about what it means to them to play for Italy. So without further ado, here is what they... I mean my imagination... [read more]

AS Roma played Siena in Serie A last night. This was rather inconvenient for us, as we run our Midweek Results post on a Thursday but we've overcome our disappointment to bring you the highs and lows of the game.

Yesterday I rediscovered a valuable element of the art of watching football. It's absent for a good reason when Spurs play it's a serious business as far as I'm concerned and I'm totally absorbed. Wouldn't have it any other way, that complete commitment is the source of the passion, but it can be draining and debilitating sometimes.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson claims that greedy, disloyal, diving thug Wayne Rooney has similarities to the Brazilian maestro Pelé. That may be true in the Twilight Zone, but in reality, Rooney is not fit to lace Pelé's boots.
In what must have been a fit of drunken fantasy, Ferguson observed:
"Look at Pelé.

England manager, Fabio Capello, has today sung the praises of Manchester United winger, Ashley Young.

After some great form for England, scoring and assisting goals, Capello has hailed the impact moving from Aston Villa to United has had on his performances.

"The pressure Young has to face in every game is big so it is normal when he plays for England.

Brazil vs Ghana was a thrilling clash of cultures and philosophies just a shame none of it was on the pitch

If I were to describe the difference between a football match in the UK and a baseball or ice hockey game in the United States, the word I'd use is ‘energy.

Granted, this one's for borderline-hardcore football boot aficionados, but to those who may be interested, those dirty flirts over at Adidas have titillated our imagination emerging from the undergrowth, tugging on our sleeve and whispering in our ear that the gaudy boots that Lionel Messi wore against Nigeria on Monday were in fact 'intelligent' and that they contained a 'super-secret micro chip' before disappearing again into the night.

I think it's fair to say that a fair few people on here who comment are becoming frustrated with the selection of the team or should I say certain players week in, week out. They feel as though these players are being selected based on who they are within the squad rather than their current form. All I say in response to that is that we have only played three games so far, have made new signings and the future looks alot brighter than it did a few weeks ago.

The Carling Cup is not the most glamorous cup competition in the world but it is a great opportunity for some so called 'smaller' Premier League teams to have success and get into Europe.
For years there has been some discussion about the merits of the Carling Cup, with some managers putting out under strength sides, as they see the competition as a burden, have disrespected it to a fair degree.

Don't Buy The Sun – the concert

Impressive line-up for the 24th September gig ONE campaign that always unites supporters of both of Merseyside's Premier League clubs is a campaign that has been going for 22 years and remains as strong now as it was the day it began.

As Martin Kelner so eloquently put it in the Guardian:

Britain's great gift to the world is undoubtedly sarcasm – that, and Marmite – so congratulations to Chelsea's new coach, André Villas-Boas on picking up the lingua franca so quickly ...

Below is Villas-Boas' post-Norwich interview.

The legend of Catenaccio is one the most enduring legacies of Calcio. Wildly successful, it has become almost synonymous with Italian Football in certain people's minds. Unfortunately, it has also been miscast as the Ultimate Evil, the monument to Anti-Football so as to speak by certain sections of the media.

My favorite type of goals are not usually the stunning ones, but the skillful ones, especially with high imagination and vision or a combination of foot and mind skills,
This goal from Sao Paulo got my attention a lot. If it was a normal player, he would kicked it so hard, and the keeper saved it, then he curse his luck
This goal from unknown league or game is wonderful great combination of imagination and skills
I think Ronaldinho in Brazil is now reaching the phase where he plays for the fun and joy of the game and not for money.

I have been a soccer fan for many years. Since half of my family is English and lives in England, I have always been an England supporter and a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur (somewhat local team) and Reading (local team). A couple of years ago a friend suggested I should give MLS a chance.

*Soccer in insignificant compared to the misery inflicted by earthquakes and other natural disasters. But the power of sport is its ability to inspire, uplift and unite as the Japanese well know in the wake of their magnificent World Cup win. I'll have more on the tournament in Tuesday's column.

*How much did this tournament capture the public's imagination?

I have to admit for the first time in years i am giddy at the prospects of a Roma season.And admittedly it has more to do with manager then the owner. Despite understanding it all starts at the top. I am so intrigued to see how Roma play stylistically,how they adjust to stress tactically and then how the players react and respond.

Just a quick take on the big game this weekend. The US Women will take the field on Sunday with a chance to become World Cup champions. The Final will kick off at 2:45 on Sunday and promises to draw a significant audience that could rival the 1999 USA/China match. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN3.

From some perspectives (including that of players on the field), it looks like France outplayed the USWNT in the World Cup semifinal. But France lost.It has been said, too, of France's game against England, that they dominated possession, played the better game. But they only won on penalties. Many felt that Brazil played a better game against the US in the Olympics, some might say they played a better game (in a few ways at least) than the USWNT last week – but Brazil lost the Olympic and the World Cup matches.

You know something remarkable happened when for the second time in a month, national sports talk radio was talking about soccer for the second time in a month.

The occasion was the Women's World Cup and the USA's remarkable come from behind victory over Brazil on Sunday. Down 2-1, and with almost the last kick of the game, Amy Wamback popped up to score the equalizer for the U.

Some goals might not been scored by great players or famous teams, but it involves a great play with a lot of imaginations. Here are some stunning goals, with so much creativity and imagination that caught my attention:
The first is from the US
The second is a recent one for Eric Hassli, a French player who plays Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Canada
And this is a spectacular goal from Crespo vs.

Good morning to you.

It's Friday again. That means we've gone through another week without any of the following things happening:

1. Signing a new player
2. Signing more than one new player
3. Selling a player who has said they want to leave the club but for whom nobody has bid
4. Selling a player we wouldn't mind keeping but who is being a dick so we might as well sell him
5. Selling a player we definitely don't want to sell

You'll notice how I finished on a positive note there.
