Adelaide dominated this game and yet pulled it out of the fire in injury time. GC went down to 10 mid way through the 1st half and should have been 9 by half time. Adelaide had perhaps the highest possession of any team this season 70% plus, huge numbers of corners, many free kicks but couldn't get anywhere near goal. Click to continue reading...

If you missed the first game against Port Vale, well tonight was more or less the same, but without the dramatic injury time equaliser. Boro again were the better side for the majority of the game, but failed to convert their chances and ended up losing the game due to an error by captain Mark Roberts.

As a result of their dramatic 2-0 win on Saturday (the crucial second goal was scored in injury time), Egypt will meet Algeria for a third time on Wednesday in Sudan: whoever wins goes to South Africa. To describe this game as 'a local rivalry' is an understatement: the Algerian team bus was attacked at the weekend and both sides ending up blaming each other the Algerians blamed Egyptians who had been wound up by satellite TV broadcasts (insert Fox News joke here), the Egyptians claimed that it was arranged by local Algerians to make them look bad.

You just knew it, everyone in the stadium knew it, everyone watching from home knew it, everyone who has any interest in the game of football knew it, so why the hell are FIFA seemingly doing nothing about it?

While FIFA's decision to seed the European group playoff match-ups—basically a mulligan for underachieving powerhouses Portugal, France and Russia—worked according to plan, along came Egypt to remind us all why football is a sport like no other.

If Week 14 of the 2009/10 Ligue 1 season took a little while to warm up in terms of 'goals scored', it was well and truly ablaze by the time it ended.
And end it did with the most dramatic game seen in the French top flight for many a long year. Lyon and Marseille faced each other having gained important UEFA Champions League results last week (a 1-1 draw for Lyon over Liverpool and a 6-0 thrashing by Marseille over FC Zurich) while looking to keep pace with Bordeaux at the top of the Ligue 1 table.

Liverpool failed to close the gap on Chelsea tonight as they could only manage a two all draw against Birmingham at Anfield.
David Ngog opened the scoring for the Reds with a thunderous volley into the roof of the net on 12mins.
However Birmingham were soon level when Christian Benitez Headed a goal from a free kick on 28mins. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea player kung fu kicked in the ribs by a Manc player, reminiscent of that thug Cantana. The outcome, a booking for the Chelsea player :( and not a penalty for Chelsea! A short time later Chelsea score to win the match 1-0 . The ref did his best by allowing 5 mins of injury time and again like the Liverpool fixture it wasn't enough time - bizarre.

West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola was over the moon after Zavon Hines' last-gasp strike earned his Hammers their first win since the opening day of the season. England Under-21 striker Hines was the toast of Upton Park after he netted the winner in the fourth minute of injury time.

Zola said:

Two more goals from Didier Drogba – who now has 12 goals from 13 appearances this season – were only slightly tarnished by Aguero's injury time equaliser last night. Chelsea are safely through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, and a rusty performance at the Vicente Calderon will be forgotten should Chelsea up the ante against United at the weekend.

From the same game as yesterday's DTotD, we have Amauri's injury time act of frustration. He tried to be discreet about it, but in most circles kicking a goalkeeper in the face is frowned upon (as is tossing said goalkeeper's own teammate on top of him after the fact, though to a much lesser extent), so Amauri was shown a red card and may or may not have hoped that the referee would fall on the ground so he could kick him in the face, as well.

There aren't many things worse than what's happened to our club over the past week or so, and I was hoping that it wouldn't have too much of an impact on the NUFC players. Fortunately (and rather fortuitously), they battled to a hard fought victory over Sheffield United.

The Blades made the Newcastle players work hard for this victory, which on another day, could so easily have gone against us.

When we last left Jose Mourinho's tongue, it was being stuck out at the crowd after an injury time winner against Udinese. Here it makes another appearance, albeit just a cameo, after Inter's second goal against Livorno on Sunday, accompanied by some kind of Michael Jackson type hand motion.

If you thought that Napoli's injury time brace, which handed the club a 2-2 draw at home to AC Milan, was its comeback of the week, think again. The underperforming Naples outfit has suddenly brought an end to an indifferent spell by stunning Serie A contenders Juventus 3-2 this evening, and that too away from home.

Guingamp suffered a 3-0 defeat away at Laval last night, a result that sees them drop into the relegation zone for the first time this season.

Guingamp went behind in the 34th minute, Steve Haguy opening the scoring for the Tangos (1-0, 34 mins).

The game reamined 1-0 until the 81st minute when EAG cracked and conceeded 2 late goals.

The Italian Serie A kicked off with a round of midweek games, many spectacular not only results wise, but also the repurcussions that the results will have. Here is a wrap up of the biggest games of this matchday.

He may not yet know the intricacies of their card school, but Alberto Aquilani has already shown he can potentially be Liverpool's ace in the pack on the pitch.

Persijap v Bontang 1-0 (Edvaldo da Silva)
It was a nervy last few minutes for Persijap keeper Danang as he looked to keep his unbeaten run going for a fourth game. He punched clear a drive from Bahtiar and was rather fortunate for the ref to blow for an infringement instead of allowing Aldo Baretto's tap in to stand and deep in injury time he flung himself to his left to keep out Ali Khaddafi's header.

Taking weakened Carling Cup sides to a new level Barnsley failed to score during their Carling Cup defeat to Manchester United, but the net did ripple in injury time when a fan took it upon himself to bag a goal for the Tykes. Presumably inspired by this Russian fan, a Barnsley supporter ran onto the pitch to [. Click to continue reading...

You'll probably see this everywhere, but here it is anyway.

A couple of Barnsley fans decided to waste everyone's time by running onto the pitch during injury time and scoring a goal on Manchester United during Tuesday's Carling Cup fourth round match. United keeper Ben Foster made the mistake of trying to strip the ball from the one fan, which set up an admittedly pretty nice little 1-2 that resulted in his fellow pitch invader scoring off the volley.

Last weekend provided an object lesson in how football fortunes can fluctuate. Liverpool went into their home clash with Manchester United on a knife-edge. Four successive defeats - their worst run since 1987 - had the air thick with talk of a crisis. Manager Rafa Benitez's transfer strategy, team selection, tactics and substitutions were all being questioned by pundits and fans alike, some even suggesting that his job could, or should, be in jeopardy.

Lucas Leiva had a great game against Man Utd on Sunday.
I have been his biggest critic since he first joined Liverpool a couple of seasons ago.
But I have to say he was very good yesterday in central midfield alongside Mascherano.
He tackled like a man possessed, winning virtually every challenge he went into. Click to continue reading...

Kevin Nolan has rightly admitted that Newcastle were just a little fortunate to beat Doncaster on Saturday.

Franco Colomba had been waiting by the phone for what seemed like ages. Then the call came, and he said: "Yes". He was back in the game.

Liverpool made it 3-on-3, as they defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Anfield, their third consecutive victory over the Premiership Champions. This win allowed them not only to climb in the Premier League table, but also helped them stop their losing streak, worse in 2 decades. Fernando Torres gave the Reds the early lead and scored his [.

It was a statement game.

The Premier League has long been a test of consistency more than quality. Â A feature of the last season-plus has been Liverpool's success against Manchester United, Chelsea, and, to a lesser extent, Arsenal. Â Sunday's 2-0 Anfield win was the third consecutive against the champions in the league.
