Happy Monday to you. It's always good starting a new week when Arsenal won. It's even better
when that happens against Tottenham. After 2 consecutive draws, Arsenal maintains their 100%
winning record at Ashburton Grove with a comprehensive victory against a side who started the week
mouthing off about how great their team are, but has now gone home with their heads firmly between
their legs.

Home teams went unbeaten on the first weekend of the MLS Playoffs, setting up a quartet of
nail-biters for the second legs of all four series.
The New England Revolution and Real Salt Lake held serve at home, posting key victories, while
the Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy were able to take draws in their visits to Seattle and,
well, Los Angeles.

The most competitive of the opening round first-legs happened at the Home Depot Center on Sunday.
Maicon Santos had Chivas USA up four minutes in, but LA drew even when Mike Magee scored in the
14th. Landon Donovan gave the Galaxy the lead in the 41st, and that held through halftime. The only
goal of the second-half came early, with Maykel Galindo equalizing for Chivas USA in the
50th-minute.

Former England manager Graham Taylor has blasted Rio Ferdinand, claiming he will never recover from
his dip in form this season.
Ferdinand has had a difficult term so far this season due to injury and a loss of form.
Speaking to
BBC Radio Five Live, Taylor said: "What I am going to say will probably
surprise a lot of people, but I think Rio Ferdinand has lost his legs.

The United States bounced back from their opening game loss, beating Malawi 1-0 on Thursday at Sani
Abacha Stadium in Kano, Nigeria. In a game dominated by the USA, it would take 54 minutes for them
to get a goal. Alex Shinsky put a rebound through the legs of Malawi keeper Cuthbert Seengwa for
the game winner.

A first from last week! The guest pundit, Sayumi, scored more than both Damon and Damian. She'll
be happy with that and her team, Kawasaki's, great result over Hiroshima 7-0. Damon drops into last
place, and he really is going through a dismal run of form. This week it's the turn of the north
London derby to take centre stage along with the return legs of some of the big Champions League
games.

That's the message from Kansas Governor, Mark Parkinson, to the Wizards and OnGoal in regards to
the STAR Bond deal the state offered the team. If the Wizards are going to be building at the
location out at the Legends, it'll be using the $230 million package that the state of Kansas has
presented. Parkinson announced today that the deal they offered to the Wizards was final.

For our overseas brethren who don't know of Jerry Springer Show glory, have a peak at this joyous
little clip. When Calum Davenport was stabbed in both legs in August, it was a potentially tragic
crime committed against an athlete whose career was then put into jeopardy. Coupled with the
constant involuntary open houses of Merseyside, [.

New coach Quique Sanchez Flores would have looked at this with wild eyed
disbelief .Or is it the team that has lost all belief in itself ? The opposition ( Mallorca) were
down to 9 men thanks to two red cards in the game.They were playing at home.They were winning 1 - 0
at long last.

Oh and Gold Coast played so well too.
Foxtel has been having outages (Sydney and Brisbane and other parts of Australia) all week so I saw
little of this game and less of the Sydney v Brisbane game. However, something happened.
It was amazing to see former Roar 2nd keeper Scott Higgins letting them go through his legs and all
sorts.

MLS Debris 24 October @ 11:20 AM EST
Congrats to the Columbus Crew whose tie in Bayamon, Puerto Rico was enough to punch their ticket
into the CONCACAF Champions League knockout stages.
Congratulations to DC United as well, who became just the second MLS team to get any sort of a
result in Mexico, tying Toluca 1-1. Had Lawson Vaughn not gotten his legs tangled up with Isaac
Lopez in the box, DC would have advanced.

Arsene will spend his 60th birthday today at the club's Annual General Meeting with the
shareholders, and, unlike last season, a much more cordial atmosphere is to be expected.
I watched the AGM last year and I have to say that the reports in the press made it seem as
though Arsene was attacked and strung up by his legs by the shareholders, who went on to poke and
prod him but eventually let him go.

Probably not...which is a shame. It's got a really good goalscoring record against one of the
top teams in the Premiership.
Anyway, here's the line up for the UEFA playoffs: all of them kick off at 7pm GMT on Saturday
November 14th 2009.
Greece v Ukraine
Ireland v France
Portugal v Bosnia & Herzegovina
Russia v Slovenia
It's also worth noting that on the Saturday the second leg of the New
Zealand/Bahrain (0-0) playoff kicks off at 7am GMT that Saturday and the first leg of
Costa Rica v Uruguay kicks off an hour later than the European games.

You heard it here first! Unless you have been on the dailymail site prior to this
which would make us second. But a worthy second I reckon.
And I hear you saying HOW? How could Ronaldo, the current World player of the year, be retiring
in four months time. Well apparently a witch has placed a hex on the former Man Utd man after a
former girlfriend hired him (lol, a man witch, gay).

1. Peter Crouch's gangly legs are not supposed to be involved in six-yard tap-ins. They were made
for bicycle kicks. 2. David Beckham has brown hair, a ginger moustache and a black beard. What is
that all about? 3. Twin, dwarf, right-footed wingers is probably not a viable tactical option
against decent opposition.

Jonas Gutierrez is brought down by Martin Caceres in a momentary lapse of reason. Leo Messi
feeds the ball to Juan Sebastian Veron who blasts the ball into a thicket of legs. Luckily for
Argentina and Maradona, the ball bounces of a Uruguayan defender straight into the legs of
substitute Mario Bolatti who turns the ball past Nestor Muslera in goal.

It was all done in about 4 minutes. 3 Great goals.
Melbourne had their big game last week. And in front of over 30,000 they just were not there. Kruse
lasted 30 minutes and didn't do much. Towards the end Melbourne gave them a barrage, particularly
Thompson. But Simon Colossimo showed he has earned Craig Moore's Socceroos spot.

Good times lay ahead, we know that anyway. But.... Good times could be 99% assured thisÂ
season should we sign two players this January. I know it is a while off January at this time
but I'm sure Wenger is already looking ahead so shy shouldn't we. I'm not gonna mention the papers
because as soon as the window shuts they are looking for the next window moves, but anyway.

After the Texans finished polishing off the Raiders I decided to check in on the Orange. What
was the first thing I saw? It was Cam Weaver making an aggressive tackle and receiving a red card.
Well, I was watching a Spanish channel so he actually received a roja card. But don't worry, I'm
told it's the same thing as a red card.

A rather blustery morning to you all.
After three old-school Saturday 3pm league kick-offs, we're back at the whim of the televisual
gods with a 1.30pm Sunday start. Our game will doubtless be the lesser written about and hyped of
the two Sunday games, but that's fine with me. If we can keep chipping away at the fixtures we need
to chisel off the slate, that suits me fine.

Dirty Tackle 02 October @ 02:18 AM EST
In Wednesday's Eredivisie match between NEC and Utrecht, NEC's Moestafa El Kabir decided to try
and save a ball that was already out of bounds and ended up plowing into the pitchside TV
camera.
This is generally a bad idea. While TV cameras do have weak legs and rarely defend themselves
from an oncoming attack, they are still made of heavy things like metal and.

Craziness continues down in Maradona-Land.
Rumor is someone on the national team wants to break Leo Messi's legs, this according to some
lawyer Marcelo Open.
Open said that "if we have a headcase threatening Messi and tells him he'll break his
legs, and it's a colleague who's in the squad, there's something wrong.

Messiah's dad, Jorge Messi, has denied the threats alleging that a
futbolista from the Argentinean team wants to break his son's legs... Oh
Veron, your time was over. Ok, ok, estamos solo bromeando! We're only
joking..
"If a teammate tells you that and continues to be called up to the team, something is
wrong," Jorge pointed out, following a radio interview made by the player's lawyer,
Marcelo Open.

Apparently this guy got shoved down some stairs.
He broke both of his legs.
He was taken to hospital only when a policeman saw him crumpled and bleeding from cuts
to his head, face and arms.
He was busted for smoking in the bathroom, but this seems a bit harsh.
