Thierry Henry has returned to play for the Gunners on loan from the New York Red Bulls of
MLS.
1. No, Roberto Mancini, you completely misheard Arsene Wenger. He said a pizza row would help you
finish ahead of Manchester United, not Pizarro. 2. Chelsea's deal to send Belgian manboy Kevin De
Bruyen back to Genk on-loan includes a break clause that says if the 20-year-old hasn't hit puberty
by June then the deal [.
Alan Pardew has talked about the Financial Fair Play Rules which are coming into operation
for European clubs gradually over the next few seasons. Michel Platini has introduced Financial
Fair Play Rules In a nutshell, clubs will only be allowed to pay out money that they earn from
their revenues as a football club.
And so the roulette wheel continues to spin.
Paris St.-Germain have pulled out of talks with Manchester City to sign striker Carlos Tevez.
The Ligue 1 leaders were considered the front-runners after talks with AC Milan broke down last
week. PSG's sporting director Leonardo and new manager Carlo Ancelotti met with Tevez's advisers
but couldn't come to terms
"There was an opportunity, we have studied it, we made a good offer but failed to agree a deal,"
Leonardo told L'Equipe.
Philadelphia Union
Are the Union shopping Danny Mwanga, as was reported by Ives Galarcep on Wednesday? "For the
record we are not shopping Danny Mwanga," Diego Gutierrez tells Kerith Gabriel. "A lot of teams are
finding themselves in a tough spot in the market and are looking within the league to
supplement.
Brazilian teen superstar Neymar could not hide his joy when his name was called out as the
winner of the FIFA Puskas award for the best goal scored in 2011. The 19 year old won the award
after more than 1.5 million internet users and football experts voted in favour of his sublime solo
effort against Fluminense
Speaking to the press after the ceremony, Neymar could not hide his joy and excitement at
winning the prestigious award calling it the best goal he has ever scored.
El delantero del FC Barcelona Lionel Messi ha sido coronado en Zúrich como mejor futbolista del
planeta por tercer año consecutivo, lo que le sitúa a la altura de los delanteros holandeses
Johan Cruyff y Marco Van Basten y del centrocampista francés Michel Platini, los únicos que hasta
hoy habían conquistado tres Balones de Oro.
At this point only World Cup success eludes him. But Leo Messi has done enough to earn himself a
place in the pantheon of the greats. He was awarded the trophy by O Fenomeno looking none
the worse for wear for someone recently recovering from dengue fever.
Messi beat out Cristiano Ronaldo, the Liga's top scorer last season, and his Barca team mate
Xavi.
09.01.2012 - De final anunciado, la celebración y entrega del Premio Balón de Oro (2011)
coronó a Lionel Messi como el mejor jugador del mundo (por tercera vez consecutiva).
Con 55 goles en 57 partidos y 5 títulos con Barcelona (Liga de España , Champions League ,
Mundial de Clubes, Supercopa de España y Supercopa de Europa, el año de Messi volvió a romper
récords y felicitaciones.
As if Lionel Messi needed any more evidence to prove that he is greatest player in the
world.
Messi captured the Ballon d'Or for the third consecutive year, beating out Cristiano Ronaldo and
Xavi to add yet another item to his trophy case. The 24-year-old Barcelona maestro received
47.
The debate whether or not he's the greatest ever may never be resolved, but he is certainly well
on his way to being the most decorated. The gentleman from Rosario won his third consecutive Ballon
d'Or at the ripe old age of 24.
And he did it showing up in purple velvet.
Lionel Messi si aggiudica, come nelle previsioni della vigilia, il Pallone d'Oro 2011-2012. Il
fuoriclasse argentino del Barcellona, gi vincitore delle ultime due edizioni dello speciale
riconoscimento (premio calcistico istituito nel 1956 dalla rivista sportiva transalpina France
Football), incassa il terzo si consecutivo.

Robbie Keane, it would seem, has already sealed his switch to Aston Villa.
The Irishman, reported to be on the brink of a loan move to the Premier League club, is already
training with Villa, as seen on a video on the club website.
El Balón de Oro (en francés,
Ballon d'Or) era un premio individual que desde 1956 otorgaba
anualmente la revista France Football al mejor jugador europeo y que jugaban en Europa. A partir de
1995 se amplió a todos los futbolistas que actuaban en torneos europeos y desde 2007 el Balón de
Oro pasó a premiar al mejor jugador del planeta.
Lets face it, Nicholas Anelka's move to Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua is all about
money. The Chinese club are officially revealed that they have signed the striker on a 2 year deal
that will see him earn £200,000 every week.
For a player loaded with talent, it is sad to see him end his career in a largely unknown
league.
Louder Than BombsLegia Warsaw 0-0 Cracovia (10:12:11)During June of next year the streets of the Polish capital will be pounding with football fans
ready to embrace Euro 2012. The Polish FA will ensure that there are ladies dressed in traditional
Polish folk costumes stood on every corner, and Uefa will insist that those fans drink only
Coca-Cola, Castrol or Carlsberg and that no food should exist in Warsaw outside of McDonalds.
Considering the fact that Sepp Blatter has been working for FIFA for the best part of 40 years,
it is remarkable just how good he's gotten at annoying football fans, or should I say English
football fans.
Now if any other 75 year old man with a degree in business and economics (and has never played
professional football) walked into your local and started spouting their nonsense opinions about
how issues such as racism in football can be solved with a handshake, I'm sure he would be told to
pipe down and get out with some colourful language thrown in for good measure.

Philadelphia Union
Deportivo Saprissa president Juan Carlos Rojas has confirmed in an interview with a Costa Rican
radio station that the Union has been in contact with the club about Josue Martinez, saying "I
would not go into much detail but there has been interest from Philadelphia [in Martinez].
It remains to be seen whether the 2022 World Cup will be played in the summer or the winter, but
one high-ranking FIFA official has a solution to ensure a winter World Cup gets played without a
problem: Move the two biggest competitions in European club soccer.
Ahead of Friday's Euro 2012 draw in the Ukraine, UEFA president Michel Platini said that he is
open to moving the UEFA Champions League and Europa League competitions in order to accommodate a
winter World Cup in Qatar.
World Cup 2022 could be in December says Michel Platini
UEFA president Michel Platini says he is willing to move European club competitions in order to
allow the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to be played in the winter.

This week sees the return of Thierry Henry to the Emirates and his training with our squad will
be wonderful experience. Plus the continuing goal streak of the reliant Robin van Persie who is not
a car with three wheels, but a luxury turbo charged supercar. Robin has now scored 38 goals and
trails only Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the best striker in Europe.
Dear Michel,
You do allow me to call you Michel I hope? I have seen you play at least a dozen times when I
was a kid in the Parc des Princes and your unforgettable goals against Bulgaria, Yougoslavia, and
Spain to list just a few. I consider you as my favorite player of all times.
Lionel Messi is on course to equal Barcelon'a all time leading Goal scoring record of 235 set by
Cesar Rodriguez during his 16 year stint with the club from 1939-1955.
Messi has scored an impressive 120 plus goals in the past two seasons and no matter how much
people may try and hate on him, he is by far the world's best player at the moment.

In the world of sports, guaranteeing a win can be a risky move, but to Luke Rodgers, the New
York Red Bulls can achieve exactly that tonight.
"I'm quite positive we're going to win the game."
In a make-or-break match in the Eastern Conference, the Red Bulls takes on the Philadelphia
Union which will have a major impact on which team will make the MLS post-season.

Sporting Kansas City's 2–1 win over Columbus on Wednesday night puts them in first place in
the East with 44 points. The Union would move into sole possession of second place with 43 points
with a win tonight.
Freddy Adu says of tonight's game, "For me, it definitely has a playoff feel to it, and that's
how I think we all are approaching it.
Michel Platini has said he is at last confident Ukraine can host Euro 2012.
After several 'last chance' warnings over the past three years, the UEFA boss can tear a few fewer
hairs out now the four stadia do seem to be on track for next summer.
"A year ago, we were deciding whether to leave four or two cities," Platini told reporters on a
tour of Kharkiv.

Here's Kun Aguero and Tevez, clearly excited that the Champions League is
finally upon us again! Everything about the competition except for the name 'Michel Platini' is
incredibly thrilling anyway. At the top of everyone's minds today will inevitably be the
Bayern Munich-Man City Group A fixture, where we can imagine City being favourites
to pull off an upset victory.
Choke slams and gentle slaps This week, the OTP Podcast chaps celebrate the return of the Champions
League by jetting off around the world to find footballing fights and frolics, rather than spending
a Tuesday night in with the wonders of Plzeň v BATE Borisov. It's what Michel Platini would have
wanted, surely?

Michel Platini hablaba este verano de la protección a los futbolistas que ocupan el olimpo
europeo como el argentino
Leo Messi. En la gala de la UEFA, el presidente del máximo
organismo continental indicaba que "el 'Mejor Jugador de la UEFA en Europa', está más protegido
por los árbitros que otros grandes de la historia".
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?
By J Hutcherson - WASHINGTON, DC (Aug 30, 2011) US Soccer Players -- Last week, UEFA president
Michel Platini spoke to journalists in advance of the UEFA Super Cup. Using words more closely
associated with British soccer pundits, he said: "I fear for the future of football. It's going
pear shaped." Platini also referred to "red lights flashing.
Football matches come, of course, in all shapes and sizes the critically important and the
relatively inconsequential, local derbies steeped in decades of mutual loathing and round-trips
which measure thousands of miles and have never been undertaken before. Occasionally, though,
context isn't everything.
There are many problems currently afflicting football, and one of the most serious is undoubtedly
the rampant cheating epidemic, which continues to devalue and destroy the heart and soul of
football. What is UEFA doing to tackle this problem? Nothing. And with Michel Platini running UEFA,
this is unlikely to change anytime soon.
Not a lot of time this week -- a mid-week earthquake and an impending hurricane scenario will do
that to you. Makes more sense to take stock of things next week when the transfer window is closed
shut. Anyway, with teams seemingly spending less on old players in the Premier League and focusing
on youth -- whether by force from Michel Platini or not -- let's examine where the "Big Six" clubs
It just might be Serie A's answer to a cold night at the Britannia Stadium. An icy December day at
the Stadio Friuli is the kind of test that a pundit might think would be a step too far for a star
foreign player, particularly a boy from Brazil. But, back in the 1980s, there was one golden player
ready to prove them wrong.
