Not here: the moon looks fine and still. No, today has been a good day for hearing Creedence (twice, in fact) so here, it being Friday, is some music. And here, it being me, is Juliana Hatfield, singing some Creedence. Everyone's a winner!

Green moon rising Roberto Mancini chose his pre-match interview with the BBC ahead of tonight's Carling Cup semi-final against Liverpool as the moment to demonstrate his new nostril-shaped hair gel dispenser. There you go, Michael Owen: a free supply of hair gel.

Singaporeans love business school speak, even when it makes no sense at all. That's not the point. It makes them sound all grown up and modern. Take this piece of drivel...
"There is a high intangible value to this deal and StarHub has taken a holistic approach that is not just about cash,"
How the hell could you paraphrase that?

Arsene Wenger was more relieved than over-the-moon after Arsenal's late winner against Aston Villa yesterday. Wenger admitted that he knew it would be a diificult game at Villa Park as it always has been historically. He said: "You go to City and then to Villa and I have to give fantastic credit to my players, [.

Nicolas Anelka will soon be playing professional soccer in China. This is surprising because Nicolas Anelka is still a talented, effective soccer player who would help all but about 10 teams in the world. This is not surprising because Nicolas Anelka is going to a place where they'll pay him an exponent of a number it'd take me years to count to.

The U.S. WNT's second training session on Friday included some stunning scenery in the form of a blood red sunset in Southern California.
The moon was also out, and settles nicely on the top of The Home Depot Center during goalkeeper training...
Speaking of the moon, as Hope Solo comes for a cross in the pic below, can you figure out which is the ball, which is a light and which is the moon?

Arse-TE Football stadium TV studios are always a prime target for cheeky supporters, but it is usually the fans seated directly behind the studio who indulge in this behaviour. Not this Republic of Ireland fan though, who marched into the middle of the pitch to moon in the general direction of the RTE studio during [.

Jordan Henderson wants to focus on beating West Brom in the Premier League on Saturday rather than worrying about who Liverpool will meet in the Carling Cup quarter-finals.
Kenny Dalglish's men secured a spot in the last eight after coming back from a goal down to beat Stoke City 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Unfortunately, Halloween hasn't come one week early and that's really Real Madrid's Kaka and Raphael Verane channeling their "If I Were Ayrton Senna, this would be my Victory Walk, braah!" look.

Los Blancos received their complimentary Audi cars (you know they'd rather get a Porsche, or in Xabi Alonso's case, a truck) at a commercial event yesterday.

The £35million striker scored the crucial opening goal against city rivals Everton on Saturday, his first in the Premier League since April.
The former Newcastle forward has only scored four times in total in all competitions since his big money move in January
However, he hopes his derby strike can kick-start his season and wanted to thank those who have backed him over the past few months.

On we go, with a visit from old friend Juan Mata and Chelsea, a club we have a recent history with.

It's the Champions League! The goose bump-inducing song, the pomp and circumstance!

I was privileged enough to be featured in the Evening Star this weekend, as their 'Star Fan' for the game at Blackpool.
Could've picked a better weekend...!
The difficulty being any comment I could think to make felt like I was repeating myself from all but one of the games we've already played.

Champions League draw reaction: Fergie's over the moon but all four Prem sides should progress

Sir Alex Ferguson was texting in delight as Manchester United were handed the closest thing to a walkover into the knock-out stages with a Group C draw that looks a formality.

Top Gear comes to Spurs Musings, and I don't just mean the team's performance North of the Border. An Australian Arthur Daley, just what we need to go with our 'wheeler dealer' manager. Meanwhile great news for the Meyer family: son Lachlan is now the All Australian under 17 Badminton Champion. Greg is over the moon, but too modest to mention it himself.

Bringing you the most ridiculous moon-sized trophy since 1991 Figured I'd be a little early on this guy since, y'know, I think it may be a big deal somewhere. Of note: the US is 7-1-1 against El Tri on US soil in the history of the rivalry. The one loss is the 2009 final, which still sticks in the craw of a number of fans who watched a B side (arguably a C side) face Mexico in a Gold Cup final

Which is precisely why this free kick somewhere in the general North American region is so damn effective.

No, not a soul on the planet has any idea what is going on. At first look, it seems some odd onside kick routine the American football field does wonders to push the theories in this direction but then collisions happen, someone leaks into the box and everybody is distracted into allowing him a free look on goal.

Fly Me To The Moon European Football Weekends headed north to Middlesbrough this week to interview two lads who have been providing an official unofficial view of The Boro for the best part of 21 years.

Newcastle United have announced the signing of former Swansea frontman Shefki Kuqi on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

Kuqi will now go straight into Newcastle's squad for Saturday's Premier League trip to Blackburn (one of his 12 former clubs) to provide bare-bones cover for Nile Ranger, Peter Lovenkrands and Leon Best.

In which, during Manchester City's 2-2 with Birmingham last night, defender Micah 'Icarus' Richards shoots for the moon and unfortunately lands in a hospital bed via the back of Nigel de Jong's cranium...

What an impressive leap that Richards boy has on him!

Ian Holloway was over the moon after seen his Blackpool team do the double over Liverpool with another 2-1 win the same score-line which they beat them at Anfield, yet there were no calls for Dalglish out un-like when Hodgson was in-charge when the ‎Fans Chanted for the return of Kenny Dalglish.
