Back on the boards in Manchester town,
With bags of tricks to please
Even the hardest-hearted haters of fun.
And, as gay as a lark on a breeze,
To serve you well in truth and jest
And, just a touch of tease
Is Our Profession,
Boldly masked in paint and fineries.
Remember us.

Back on the boards in Manchester town

What if this was the music the players walked out to? And the lights went down and the hoardings flashed red....

Remember Leon McKenzie? No? Well he's a former Norwich striker who's now carving out a career in music as some kind of Craig David sound-alike... Okay, so he doesn't exactly sound like Craig David but, you know, Garbage (sic) music is all the same right? Well apparently he has also covered King's of Leon (like everyone) [.

What if this was the music the players walked out to? And the lights went down and the hoardings flashed red....

If you're a fan of the "wobble wobble" aka dubstep and American soccer you're going to love this new video by Jimmy Diebold playing with the lights at Century Link Field, the home stadium for Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders (and some silly NFL team, too).
Just splice some goal highlights, Kasey Keller saves, or some player running up-field making some ball moves to the music and you've got something even sexier.

How did Seven Nation Army take over Italy?

It's probably the most indie sports anthem ever, but if anyone was following the 2006 World Cup then they remember the simple, ever-so-catchy bassline of The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army. It ended up dominating the whole world of sports, but it became the beloved song of the Italian fans and players.

It's hard to take Pele seriously these days with the quality of stories he's been sharing with the children at your local playground. The Brazilian legend who hates Maradona and would never give him a "lift on a rainy day" (thankfully Kun's got that problem sorted) has attempted to go back on the "Cuando Messi" saga.

Los juegos olímpicos de México 1968 fueron de los mejores en cuanto diseño grafico, todo mundo recuerda el estilo futurista; esa hermosa tipografia que causo furor en su tiempo y que se mantiene vigente como simbolo de modernidad.
Pues me encontrado por la web este vestido que se mostro en el Queens Art Museum de la ciudad de México.

It's that time again. Time to talk all things soccer in the first SBI Live Q&A of 2012.

We have plenty to talk about today, from the MLS Draft, to the U.S. national team camp and upcoming friendlies, to the U.S. Under-23 training camp and upcoming Olympic qualifiers.

We don't have to stop there.

It's that time again. With the new year upon us, and plenty to discuss in the soccer world, it's time for the latest SBI Live Q&A.

Join me at Noon today as I answer questions on all things soccer (and pop culture). Want to talk about the MLS Draft? The U.S. national team camp?

Señoras y señores,amantes de todos los deports, de la belleza de la humanidad, los Juegos Olímpicos Londres 2012 están cerca y las fanfarrias se oyen a lo lejos.

La musica siempre es importante en este tipo de eventos y claro esta Londres es una de las ciudades mas importantes a nivel mundial cuando se habla de musica.

Here is a Timbers Army 2011 collection I did. Hope everybody likes it, I'm guessing some people probably won't like the music, feel free to mute it and listen to your own choice. Yelawolf isn't everybody's favorite.

Today allows us to recognize the dream of Martin Luther King Jr., one of the great leaders the world has ever seen.
The positive energy he encourages, his ability to motivate and to get others to buy into being a part of something bigger than themselves are what made him one of the world's great leaders.

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!

Their Words "They're getting the music. They understand that the pace internationally is much faster. The demand is much faster in terms of the concentration, speed of play, speed of thought, speed of implementing certain things." US National Team coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Other Sources Montreal's first choice in MLS draft is versatile - from The Kansas City Star's Randy Covitz: Where to play him?

No one kicks the football like the one, Zlatan, Zlatan!

No explanation necessary. Even though it's six years old, this (ahem... "Who's Da Man?" by "Elias featuring Frans") remains the undisputed best Swedish reggae tune about Zlatan Ee-bra-heem-oh-vic to have ever been recorded.

Free agent Scottish striker Kris Boyd, formerly of Rangers, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and most recent, Eskişehirspor, is apparently considering an offer from the Dynamo, at least according to Bryan Swanson of Sky Sports.

Boyd is 28-years old and has a fairly strong goal scoring record from his Rangers days, including three 20+ goal seasons.

Football and Music never meets, well rarely unless it does and I'm too stupid to realise. Anyway, were you wondering what song is played at half time during ITV's coverage of Football? No? Well here you go anyway, you ungrateful so-and-so's Now I leave you with my good friend Mr. Wiki Wiki to give [.

Magic Earlier this week we brought you the video of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger playing guitar while West Brom boss Roy Hodgson was head-banging. Well, Hodgson was clearly so into the music that Wenger has now invited him to join the band as drummer. Somebody has taken this to the next level and put together [.

This clip is old and has probably been posted thousands of times, but that's no matter. It's excellent and should eat up a solid ten minutes of your day while you ponder your ability to become Diego. Disregarding the mandatory skills you may not possess. And possibly without the drug problem.

In the last few weeks the Seattle Sounders have lost a total of 9 players by draft, transfer, trade, retirement, and just about every other way you can think of for a team to lose a player. This week we talk about those loses and what the team will do to fill those gaps.
We have an audio clip from the December 7th press conference call with new Sounders netminder Michael Gspurning (Guh-SHPURN-ing), answering Jeremiah's question as to how long he would like to stay in Seattle.

Found Kicking Around in Copacabana: The Kings of Convenience

The Kings of Convenience, one of our most beloved bands, have been touring South America these past few weeks. Their latest stop was Brazil, more specifically Rio de Janeiro.

Watch video proof that Justin Bieber is better than Fernando Torres!

When it comes to music, MirrorFootball usually subscribes to the opinion that there are only two types: good and bad. However, we're willing to make an exception for Justin Bieber and invent a third category: f***ing rubbish.

The old penguin enclosure, London Zoo, where people had watched penguins since 1934

Bojanglez Nightclub, Guildford, where people had listened to terrible, terrible music for god knows how long just because it was there (we went every Wednesday when I was at university down that way.

For a long time, you and I wondered what had happened to The Lady Gago, who was a spectacular flop at Real Madrid, lauded at Boca Juniors (and even found the time to date one of our good friends there!) and now.... an AS Roma prince!

Artists often need a bit of financial backing. Some of the most innovative works from the past generation in sports have been funded by companies hoping to get across a certain message.

It's another week with two judged performances as our girl enters the top five, including one she and her partner must put together receiving the music only 20 minutes beforehand. Hope claims this is her sweet spot, with the pressure on like that. We shall see, but first there is the standard weekly routine featuring a Quickstep.

The Football Association of Ireland, in association with Three and supporter's group, ‘You Boys in Green' today (November 4) joined the campaign to encourage fans to ‘Go Green on November 15'.
The campaign aims to encourage fans all over the country to get behind the team by wearing green on November 15 when Ireland take on Estonia in the second leg of the EURO 2012 Play-off in Aviva Stadium.

Last night Funkmaster Flex debuted the soon-to-be released Amy Winehouse - Nas collabo "Like Smoke" and it is fire. Straight, hot, Camden-to-Queensbridge fire. Makes me remember how much I'm going to miss her voice and just how ill(matic) Nas can be when he wants to be. They "bodied" this.

When I watch this clip I can't help but think that the visual makes people want to score goals against a club they hate while the music makes people want to score ecstasy at a club in Vegas. That's possibly the most Deadspinish thing I have ever written but c'mon, you know I'm right.

Guys who go to a Katy Perry concert (sans girlfriends) 'for the music' are usually the same guys who read Playboy 'for the articles.'

Joe and James, we never pegged either of you as one of 'those guys.'

There are 2 artists in my iTunes whose names are quite likely to get me investigated for dirty old man-ery: Teen Girl Fantasy and Teenage Bad Girl. If you like poppy, playful club cuts with a pervy, R. Kelly-arousing name you should check them out; the track above is by TBG and is called "X Girl" but it should probably be called "Fake Go!

Now that snow has hit my corner of America summer is officially-officially over. And it sucks. So since I'm feeling nostalgic for the beach, outdoor alcohol consumption and 9pm sunsets here's Washed Out's "Call it Off"; if you have it at just the right volume you can almost taste salt from both the sea and a margarita glass.

OK by now most of y'all have probably figured out my musical taste and you either think I'm a vapid snob who tries to hard or you are just as superficial as I am and find the company delightful.
If you fall into the latter try and take in Gardens & Villa's "Star Fire Power" in it's entirety as it's one of those tracks that builds slowly until it smolders.

This month's issue of Q Magazine comes with a free CD celebrating the 20 year anniversary of U2's incredible Achtung Baby. Entitled AHK-toong BAY-bi, it's a track-by-track covers album featuring Depeche Mode, Snow Patrol, The Killers, Glasvegas and a bunch of other rich people bands taking on the classic album from 1991.

From this point on all supporters groups should perform "Seven Nation Army" in the following, funky manner.

If you are an aging American rapper about to embark on a European tour without aid of a recent hit is there a better way to cater to the locals than to film a promo with you getting your juggle on? Yes. You throw in a pot leaf.

Music's other Neville Brothers Thanks to @mcavanagh87 for spotting that American indie band The Drums appear to have gone rummaging through Gary and Phil Neville's old holiday snaps to find the cover art for their album.
