Hoyte-y toity The undoubted highlight of Sunderland's extra-time FA Cup victory over local rivals
Middlesbrough last night was this bizarre slide tackle on Boro defender Justin Hoyte from a pitch
invader. A couple of morons ran onto the pitch. One of them lost his footing behind Hoyte and ended
up sliding through the back of [.

The are important matches in domestic cup play across a number of countries, none of which is
more intriguing than the Coppa Italia battle between AC Milan and Juventus.
The top two teams in Serie A open their anticipated semifinal tie at the San Siro after easing
past top-notch competition in the quarterfinals.
There's a story about David Bentley. When he went to Norwich on loan from Arsenal they were in a
training session and he, thinking he was some kind of comedic genius, belted the ball straight up
into the air and said 'ave it!', like Peter Kay in that ad for John Smiths. Nobody thought it was
funny, least of the all Norwich manager.

two of Europe's major leagues at the midway point of 2011/12.
As we all know by now Kris Boyd is the newest addition to the Portland Timbers Roster. He makes
his way to the Timbers through a free transfer after terminating his contract with Turkish side
Eskisehirspor because they had not paid him since his transfer to the club.
Before his short Time in Turkey he spent 1 season in England with 2 Championship teams,
Nottingham Forest (John Spencer's Brother-in-Law's team) and Middlesbrough where he really failed
to impress after the manager who brought him in was fired.
The draw for the FA Cup's fifth round was held earlier today. A reunion with Gus Poyet (via
Brighton) wasn't in the cards, with Chelsea being drawn against Birmingham.
Not bad. The Championship club will pose a threat, but not to the extent that traveling to
Anfield would have. Ties will be held 18/19 February.
Scorers:
Robson (Mid) 16′
Campbell (Sun) 58′
The tripartite nature of footballing rivalry in the north-east of England means that this
afternoons FA Cup Fourth Round match between Sunderland and Middlesbrough has a hint of being a
local derby about it without fully appearing to be the real thing.
Still, supporters of both of these clubs have cause to give a wry smile this afternoon.

Two big FA Cup matches are on deck today. The 11am ET/4pm GMT kickoff between Arsenal and Aston

Silly season continues to go on around the world, and today Sporting KC was named in the silliness.
Sky Sports is reporting that the "Kansas City Wizards" are interested in Scottish international
striker, Kris Boyd. The 28 year old striker was most recently with Eskisehirsqor in Turkey, where
he recently had his contract canceled.
Kenny Dalglish may have threatened to axe some under-performing players in the Liverpool squad
following Saturday's humiliating 3-1 loss to Bolton but he has firmly maintained his support behind
winger Stewart Downing.
Downing cost the Reds £20 million during the summer transfer window and despite showing sparks
of brilliance, the England international has yet to score or provide an assist in his Liverpool
career.
Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray has moved to clear up speculation linking his Australian defender
Rhys Williams with a move away from the club following links with a series of Premier League
outfits.
The likes of Liverpool, West Bromwich, Newcastle and Bolton have all been reported to be keen on
the 23-year-old Socceroo but Mowbray insisted they weren't pondering letting him go.
Two points separate the top four sides in the Championship going into this weekend's action, with
leaders Southampton in danger of falling out of the automatic promotion spots for the first time
this season.
Nigel Adkins' men wasted no time in acclimatising to life back in the second tier, surprising those
who bet on the Championship to quickly build up a healthy lead over the rest.

The following tables show the number of points earned by teams during 2011.
It's very tight at the top of the Championship table for 2011. Reading have the best points
average yet it's Middlesbrough who picked up more points during the year. Both these sides are
closely followed by Cardiff City who finish the year having picked up 82 points, an identical tally
to Reading.

Newcastle United were the second club out of the hat this afternoon, and we are drawn against
Wrexham or Brighton away in the 4th round of the FA Cup . Sunderland are drawn at home to

Cardiff City are enjoying a good start to the 2011-12 season, and whilst the priority for all clubs
in the Championship will always be to make it to the Holy Land of the Premiership, this season a
rare opportunity has opened up for Malky Mackay's side.
Having defeated Blackburn Rovers in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup, they now find themselves
just two games away from an appearance at Wembley in what would be their second run-out at the
famous stadium in the last four years – not a bad record for a side that has been stranded
outside the top tier of English football since 1962.
By Chris Wright
Time to lighten the mood. Given that Marc Albrighton notched the Premier League's 20,000th goal
last night, it seemed only right to put together a little video compendium of ten of the best most
hideously ugly goals ever to have been scored over the course of these 19-and-a-half glorious
seasons.

Please do your bit to help Gary Parkinson, one of this world's good guys
It has been more than 15 months since Gary Parkinson suffered a massive stroke that means the
only way he can communicate is by blinking his eyes. Parky was in charge of youth development at
Blackpool after a career that had taken him to Bloomfield Road via spells at Everton,
Middlesbrough, Southend, Bolton, Burnley and Preston.
Alex McLeish believes Stewart Downing may come in for some stick as he returns to Aston Villa as a
Liverpool player.
The ex-Middlesbrough winger left Villa Park last summer after two years at the club in order to
join the Reds.
Sunday's game will be Downing's first return since leaving and McLeish knows he is one of a number
of visiting players they need to watch.

Abel Xavier foi eleito, por 23 dos 63 leitores que participaram na última votação, como o
jogador com o penteado mais bizarro da história do futebol. Formado no Sporting e Estrela da
Amadora, Abel Xavier, hoje Faisal após a conversão ao Islamismo, conheceu um dos pontos mais
altos da sua carreira ainda muito jovem quando se sagrou campeão do mundo de sub-20 (ainda com um
penteado "normal), um título que lhe valeu a transferência para o Benfica, onde se manteve por
três épocas.

and Reading, meet at Elland Road this weekend, but neither have done much to grab the attention so
far this term.

Adam Johnson has signed a new four-year deal with Manchester City, putting an end to Kenny
Dalglish's alleged interest in capturing the England winger for Liverpool.
After arriving at Eastlands from Middlesbrough in January 2010, Johnson has impressed with some
very creative, sparky performances.
Versatility in a player is a very valuable attribute in today's game with so many managers now
looking for young, strong and technically gifted players to strengthen their team. The prime
example of a player with extreme versatility in the Premier League at the present moment must be
the emergence of Manchester United youngster, Phil Jones.

With Remembrance Sunday having just occurred a few days ago, we reflect on the men who gave
their lives to their countries as well as giving their all on the football pitch. Their bravery on
the field of play has been superseded by their courage and character on the field of battle even
though some of them had little to no military education.
