Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Disaster has struck. One-man OTP material generator Mario Balotelli is leaving the Premier League. The Italy international has agreed a deal to return to his homeland to play for AC Milan. Only the formality of a medical and a contract signing can now prevent official confirmation that we've lost Mario.
A very quick Saturday round-up for you on a rainy bank holiday Saturday.
There was an expectation that the club would announce the signing of Santi Cazorla yesterday but
it did not transpire. Those sitting F5ing the official site spent a fruitless day, but I wouldn't
worry about it too much.

Once a top-class goal-scoring midfielder, Man City coach David 'Platty' Platt gave his players a
lesson int he art of the bicycle kick during a training session in Malaysia, cracking home a fine
right-footed effort. Memories of Belgium in 1990 and all that malarkay.
The thing here is that Danny Murphy was making important contributions to Fulham matches last
season. It is well established that time waits for no man, but time has not yet left Danny Murphy
behind he could still do his thing, and indeed was doing his thing as the season ran out in
May.

West Ham captain Kevin Nolan has done his best to bring any Hammers hanging on to the memories of their 'World Cup-winning' squad by saying manager Sam Allardyce deserves to be a top club. The midfielder, who had previously played under Allardyce at Bolton, reckons Big Sam deserves to leave the East London minnows behind [.
Clint Dempsey says he wants to play in the Champions League before he retires and basically told
any club wanting to sign him to put an offer on the table.
in an interview with Sports Illustrated, the best player the US has ever produced reiterated his
desire to test himself against the game's best.
There are rumours abound that he hasn't signed/isn't going to sign, there are rumours that he's
holding out for more money, that he wants assurances about signings, that he wants this, that and
the other.
It's all dross and hyperbole, no one outside Arsène's house knows what happened on Wednesday
morning.

Yesterday we saw the departure of Troy Perkins to the Montreal Impact. Truth is, he was a great
player who both really loved the team and the city that we all endear so much. It's for this reason
that he became such a huge fan favorite here in Portland, even if he wasn't the best keeper in
recent months.

The New Chelsea 2012/13 Away Shirt - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
The new Chelsea away kit for the new Premier League season is pre-dominantly white with a light
aqua (pale blue to you and me) sash across the white body, with navy blue trim on the sleeves. The
sash is a common feature of adidas shirts this summer.
This week's Philadelphia Player of the Week is ...
Nobody.
We can't.
We tried!
We did. We really did.
The six of us scratched our heads. Ed Farnsworth pawed the air helplessly. Adam Cann looked for
a sign. Greg Orlandini took the thinking man pose and got stuck there.
Fiorentina president Andrea Della Valle has just announced that his club have secured the
signature of Alberto Aquilani, signing him up on a three-year deal worth €1.7 million a year
though he may still have a future at Liverpool if...
You will always be a legend...Liverpool Football Club have today
announced that Kenny Dalglish will no longer be the manager at Anfield next season. The Liverpool
legend won the Carling Cup and sent the Reds to an FA Cup final but it was his league position that
appeared to create the problem.

Today's tweets were in response to Brandi Chastain's remarks during the US game against Colombia.
At about 18 minutes, Chastain disparaged defender Rachel Bheuler's ball control. She said that
Bheuler gives the ball away too much, and "needs to work on an improve on" her trapping skills.
Ideally sports provide us with an escape from our day to day lives, a chance to see friends,
support our team and have fun. Every once in awhile, sports can give us a moment that sticks with
us and we can look back to year and year and say, wow, that was a really great moment.
I remember a number of moments like that from my childhood.
Okay, I got the tape and here are his full answers:
Tell us about the amazing 0708 season and your memories of it.
The 0708 season for me was crazy. It started of solid then three games in I get injured and I
have to fight through to come back. Then the team struggles and makes some changes to the coaching
staff and Roy comes in and makes a great impression.

There's always an attempt to replicate great moments — particularly goals — in the
playground, though any young fan who enjoyed Danny Welbeck's winner against Sweden for England on
Friday evening would have difficulty pulling it off. It was an audacious piece of skill; the fact
that it was initially seen as lucky, cynically dismissed as a fluke, made it an altogether
better goal as the replay showed Welbeck react instinctively to Theo Walcott's cross by turning,
then letting the ball gently bounce onto the back of his boot away into the right of Swedish
goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson.
A simple goal creates joyous, unforgettable memories for a new generation.
Speaking of joy, we just passed 40,000 followers on Tumblr. Thanks, you're all amazing.

What are your memories of your first European Championship? For me, it was UEFA 80 (or Europa 80),
as they were called back then. I was 10 years old, and — to be honest — I don't remember much
from the tournament ...

1. Crowd trouble at an England match and the English supporters are nothing but bewildered spectators. How times have changed. 2. Nothing signifies an ultimately disappointing draw is on the horizon quite like an early England goal. 3. Given Joe Hart's propensity to find touch with such regularity, he might have been the man to [.
The weeds thrived on the deserted steps. Brittle concrete swept up by the blustery wind fertilized the void. I stood solitary in a stadium built to hold 25,000 people, separated by fifty yards from the nearest fan watching our team. Some of the few present may have harbored decades old memories of the roars that once sang loudly here.
Andik Vermansyah has been one of the most talked about footballers in Indonesia since his
performances in the SEA Games last year.
The Persebaya IPL wide man has on occasion rather fancifully been linked with foreign clubs; people
with long memories will recall another wideman, Okta Maniani, was similarly effused about, but with
Andik he will at least get an opportunity.
A fitting tribute to the red haired Swede producing his finest moments as an Arsenal player. He
could tear it up with his speed, cause havoc with wickedly curling shots, and most importantly
never gave up. A real little terror he was. He went to West Ham then onto Seattle and finally to
the J-League all the while gracing men's magazines as a metrosexual icon before calling it
quits.
Towards the end of last season, taking positives from a game was an accompanying headline for
much of our terrible run-in. It had become a by-word for we've lost again and where can we cover
over the fact that we're blowing third place?
Without wanting to moan after one game, it therefore brought back memories to see the club's
official Twitter feed announce that Brad Friedel was ‘taking positives' out of a defeat.
Last week, the New England Revolution traded away captain, 10-year veteran, and face of the
franchise Shalrie Joseph. Since then, plenty of stories and opinion have come out about the why and

7:30 PM at Toyota Park. However, there is going to be a supporters match between cf97 supporters

fun time for everyone involved, and get supporters pumped up for the friendly that evening.
Ah memories. Here's the recap of the last time the Seattle Sounders hosted Chivas USA in a U.S.
