Alot has been made of Chelsea's season so far and it's been mainly doom and gloom from the media, press and some of our supporters hasn't it!.
On a positive note, we have all witnessed the arrival of Juan Mata and he has really made a fantastic impression for someone who is in his first season in England.

Is there no end to his talents? While his team-mates were freezing their Ball-otellis off during a 3-0 win against Fulham, Manchester City star Mario Balotelli was performing as a magician in an executive box at the Emirates. The enigmatic Italian entertained his fellow diners by making a can of Coke disappear.

Wazza, Gary Neville, Michael Owen and Tom Cleverley are the latest in a long line of 'ballers befuddled by the diminutive magician's awe-inspiring sleight of hand.

No, we have no idea how he does it either.

Looks like the magician Dynamo has been up to his old tricks again... here he is featuring in a video at Michael Owen's stables, performing card tricks for Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Tom Cleverley.

Editor's note: At the end of the 2010 season, we posted a series of season reviews of every Philadelphia Union player. Over the next several weeks PSP continues with a review of the 2011 season.

When Roger Torres joined the Union at the young age of 18 he was an exceedingly raw talent.

This shot of Andre Villas-Boas subtly reminds us of a similar pose Dunga held two years ago when Brazil were losing to the Netherlands en route to the World Cup semi-finals! It's one that screams "Estou desesperada!" (I'm desperate!) .

The Seattle Sounders talent scout and assistant coach is often just thought of as Sigi's son, this discounts his work efforts as recently profiled at SoundersFC.com. A rare man of the Rave Green and Capitol Blue Ajah he hunts for players that hold that certain spark. He travels from Qalm (from where Cato is looking to succeed) to Shienar (a cold forlorn place where they are known to be good fighters).

Liverpool have lost out on many great players over the years for a variety of reasons but there is one player most fans - including Craig Bellamy - would agree is the proverbial 'one that got away'.
That player is Danish maestro Michael Laudrup. Liverpool had two chances to sign this footballing magician (1983 and 1989) but failed on both occasions, and Bellamy is still gutted about it:
"My biggest regret is that the club didn't sign Michael Laudrup when they had the chance.

Remember Dynamo? The magician that reduced Nemanja Vidic to a puddle of bubbling silicon and nano-circuitry, blew Bobby Zamora's brain and then made Gary Neville swear like a navvy with his sleight-of-hand shenanigans? Remembered him? Yes? Well now forget him, because football's got a new magic man and his name is Iker the Incredible.

P-Iker card. Any card Move over Dynamo. Football has a new magician and his name is Iker Casillas. The Real Madrid keeper has been showing off his card tricks. Unusually for a Real player, the card trick doesn't involve him picking up a red card and magically being suspended for a dead rubber match!

Manchester United legend Lou Macari believes that Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish should have been brought back to Anfield 'long before last season'.
Macari, who played against Dalgligh many times during his playing career at Old Trafford (and scored the winning goal for Man United against Liverpool in the 1977 FA Cup final) noted:
"I grew up with Kenny at Celtic in the late 1960s onwards, and have kept in touch ever since.

Good news folks! Dynamo's back, and this time his incredible card and shirt-based jiggery pokey is making Comrade Neville swear like a f**king navvy...

Thanks to Pies fan Tom for the nudge.

More of Dynamo's Premier League bamboozlement on Pies.

Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville recently got together with magician Dynamo to compare facial hair and be wowed by a succession of magic tricks. Red Nev is visibly impressed and spooked in equal doses as Dynamo reels off his tricks. In fact, the only person busier than the quick-fire magician was the person in charge [.

Remember Dynamo? The guy that pulled Premier League tickets out of thin air and then reduced Nemanja Vidic to a puddle of bubbling silicon and nano-circuitry?

Well the boy's back, and this time he's bamboozling the living daylights out of Jermain Defoe, Jermaine Jenas and Fulham's Bobby Z with some neat sleight-of-hand.

Remember that vid we posted a few weeks ago featuring British magician Dynamo freaking Nemanja Vidic out so badly with his playing card based trickery that the Hot Robot almost blew a gasket?

Well, mesmerising footballers has become something of a hobby for the crafty conjurer and this edition features him baffling the hell out of, among others, Jermain Defoe, Jermaine Jenas and Bobby Zamora.

Liverpool FC has lost out on many great players over the years, but the most regrettable missed opportunity is arguably Danish maestro Michael Laudrup. The club had two chances to sign this footballing magician (1983 and 1989) but failed on both occasions. Why did the club miss out and what impact would Laudrup (theoretically) have had?

For Real Salt Lake the trip to Seattle will always remind them of their greatest win in history. Luckily for Seattle Sounders fans, it had nothing to do with the team in Rave Green. Besides that neutral pitch win, RSL has struggled with things Seattle with the Sounders earning 8 points in 5 previous meetings.

One of the most beautiful things in football is when you see an old superstar started to regain some of his peak. Things we seen in Romario in the 1997, Zizou in 2006 and now seems we are seeing the return of the magician, Ronaldinho,
After a strong return to Flamengo and some wonderful goal, especially the last week when Ronaldinho scored directly from corner kick,
now, he played a great game for Brazil vs.

British magician Dynamo took to the streets recently to meet with Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic as well as unsuspecting strangers throughout England. If you love card tricks, or sleight of hand, this is definitely a fun video to watch. If only...

For those not in the know, Dynamo is a remarkable magician from Bradford in England, famed for scaring the crap out of A-list celebs including Robbie Williams and Tinie Tempah. Nemanja Vidic is a defender with EPL champions Manchester United, famed for being a hot robot.

A musician by the name of The Wizard of Ox has paid tribute to Lionel Messi in the above music video which combines highlights of the Barcelona magician backed by a great dance track and the poetic commentary of GolTV's Ray Hudson and Catalan radio commentator (and journalist) Joaquim Maria Puyal.

The relationship between player and manager just wasn't what it used to beLuka Modric was signed by Spurs for a club record fee and brought all the way from the quiet Eastern European divisions to arguably the biggest league and stage in the world. To say that Spurs had taken something of a gamble, spending so much money on a talented but unproven player, is an understatement.

One of the most interesting tournaments this year starts tomorrow: the South American championships, or Copa América 2011. It will be hosted in Argentina, and the groups are as follows:Group A:ArgentinaBoliviaColombiaCosta RicaArgentina are undoubtfully huge favourites playing at home, with a team full of stars, led by the magician Lionel Messi, and hungry to win a trophy they have not had since

Football has always had its share of characters. South American football produces them regularly. Many of these players have graced past editions of the Copa América. Here are some of the players who will make the competition interesting from a non-football perspective this summer.

I think the first thing I should say about this game is just a plain and simple wow! I was not for the life of me expecting the performance I witnessed last night. I assumed the game was going to be something like a usual Lagerbäckian qualifier: that is we score a goal just before the half time, hold back and let the other team into the game only to win it late on a superb team effort.

Reading United scored four second half goals in route to a 5-1 victory over the visiting Central Jersey Spartans. United midfielder Lasse Sohrweide contributed a goal and two assists in an efficient thirty minute shift to help maintain Reading's position atop the Mid-Atlantic table.

A new season breeds new talent. The end of last season saw the retirement of two of the biggest stars at Manchester United in midfield magician Paul Scholes and goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar.

The Football World has rendered itself to the feet of FC BARCELONA Argentine forward LIONEL MESSI. Spanish Football press & media have dedicated covers & pages to the player as he once again put in a brilliant performance & goal to help FC Barcelona win 3 - 1 Manchester United in the Champions League Final.

I was not present at the weekly Wenger press conference yesterday morning in the media room at the Emirates - but with so many websites posting up the video of it, I did not need to be.

The noise from the pond life scum, otherwise known as the British Press, this weekend will no doubt be a negative one towards our transfer policy, based purely on the fact Wenger stated he believes in his current crop of players.

Only a day after his cousin was killed in Marseille, Queens Park Rangers' Moroccan Magician Adel Taarabt was recognized by the FA as the Football League's Player of the Year yesterday. Manager Neil Warnock has told him to spend the next week with his greiving family (he missed the win over Doncaster on Saturday), but Adel was still able to pick up the award last night.

To promote its new football boot, CTR360 Maestri II Elite, Nike launched a hilarious video featuring Barcelona midfield magician Andrés Iniesta, who is captured on the pitch during the game and training drills alongside his teammates Éric Abidal and Thiago Alcântara.

The difference is still 1.5 million. Here's Ganso, an ace for Leo Adriano, shoulder KO, he'll be out for a month Mou's Real triumph, Ronaldo is derby-man .

It can be done! For years it has seemed that it was impossible to take possession of a football away from Barcelona star Xavi. But last night his team-mate Sergio Busquets gave a masterclass in how to nick the ball from the midfield magician. Europe's elite will have been watching closely as Busquets managed to [.

A club that exists to win trophies. Remember when that used to said about Liverpool? And remember when people actually believed it because that is what happened every year?
The way things have unfolded this season, saying such a thing about the club at this present time isn't even funny.
