I'm sure you have heard about Coke Zero Wayne Rooney's Street Striker show. We also showed you the little stunt Rooney pulled where he's dribbling (kind of) through a bunch of randomly rolled tires (if not, click here). We got hold of more of the clippings of the show.

Soccerlens now presents, behind the scenes of Coke Zero Wayne Rooney's Street Striker:

Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie headed to Serbia earlier this week to get 'special' treatment for the torn ligaments in his ankle.

We didn't actually follow RVP all the way over, but our Eastern European correspondent (Croatian if you must ask) insists that this is exactly how Serbian witchdoctors administer placenta treatments to patients.

The former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o promised his fellow countrymen that he will buy each of his teammates a £30,000 watch should they qualify for the 2010 World Cup. Last weekend after their 2-0 win over Morocco, Eto'o made good on his promise and gifted the same watch to all of his teammates.

Firstly I would like to explain the title, whilst this is a little inflammatory I am not here to discuss the merits of the Mike Newell School of sexual equality within the beautiful game but rather the unresolved conflict between two great loves of my life women and football.

Firstly for some reason I feel I must clarify what you already know, the role of football for millions of men's lives begins at an early age.

Still, it's better odds than what they have with current playing staff.

So how do you smuggle a Liverpool beach ball into Anfield when they're specifically searching fans to 'confiscate' these types of items?

That's the conundrum facing Manchester United fans as they prepare to travel to Anfield this weekend.

And it's not just United fans. Liverpool are unlikely to be allowed to forget the beach-ball episode in a hurry with rival fans from other clubs also reportedly 'stocking' up on the beach balls, which could mean a season long 'search' at turnstiles for beach balls.

There's ridiculous, and then there is this.

A self-proclaimed 'witch' is enjoying his 15 minutes of fame after making the bold claim that he had placed a 'hex' on Cristiano Ronaldo at the request of a jaded ex-lover. Pepe (that's the witch, not the ex-lover) is positively gloating after watching Ronaldo injure his ankle during the international break and is predicting that CR will be forced to stop playing football in four months.

Sunderland's first goal against Liverpool today - from Darren Bent - came in the 5th minute thanks to a deflection off a balloon that had floated into the Liverpool penalty area.

That's going to make Rafa Benitez really mad...

There are two types of gamers in the football world: those that play FIFA and those that play Pro Evo. In conversation it's not really acceptable to admit to a split allegiance - you're one or the other, and the other is wrong.

I am a Pro Evo loyalist, and I see the gaming world in black and white.

What Happened to the Traditional Scoreboard?

Tonight I made the short trip from my house to watch Nottingham Forest v Blackburn in one of the Carling Cup games many had identified to have the potential for a cup upset, the game itself was patchy with one of two niggly injury periods of two or three minutes, during one of these breaks in play I looked up to check the time and confirm my count of the score ( I made it 0-0 after 20 minutes).

Universidad de Chile striker Juan Manuel Olivera is recovering after he was knocked out during a match and then the ambulance taking him to hospital crashed.

Emmanuel Adebayor evokes some interesting emotions wherever he goes. From his goal-scoring exploits for Arsenal to back-to-back interviews where he pledged allegiance to Arsenal before flirting with Barcelona, to his quite obvious Milan fantasy to his bumper contract at Arsenal to a move to Manchester the next summer, Adebayor had already entertained and infuriated Arsenal fans.

...so for FIFA to get tough on them, especially in wake of recent UEFA efforts to make a public display of intent to stamp out diving by banning Eduardo (which, incidentally, sets a nice precedent for post-match video reviews), is understandable, if not always 'fair'.

Walking into my room on a chilly Sunday morning, I sighed heavily, yet I was happy. I had correctly tipped Burnley to beat United. Who knew. I didn't get it all right; I had a few problems especially my A-League tipping. Mariners and Jets drew, so I only had 2 points from this round. Forgetting about that, I walked over to my desk, before clomping down on to my seat.

"No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man's ego like an automobile." - Sir William

Who is (was) Sir William you may ask....to which I have no answer, but we must agree that he was right on the money with that one! Not that anyone could suggest, even in their wildest dreams, that the modern professional footballer is in need of too many ‘extras' to massage his ego.

As we amble through the 'most amazing transfer season ever', drunk on the memories of the 'closest title race ever' from last season and looking forward to what surely must be 'the most exciting Premier League season ever', it's easy to miss the trees for the forest - or the blinding neon light that is 24/7/365 football.

At first glance man's best friend has little relevance to football. I mean let's face it, if you're sitting on the psychiatrists couch and he/she is doing that word association thing and comes up with the word dog are you likely to answer football (or vice versa)?

Walking to the paper shop a couple of weeks ago, I had that ‘forgot something' feeling. I tapped my pockets to make sure I had my usual essentials in tow; wallet, phone, keys. All there, but something still wasn't right. I knew I hadn't left the oven on, largely because I don't use it.

Then it hit me (not the oven) - the hollow sensation I was experiencing emanated from the fact that it was the start of the weekend and the football season had finished.

When it comes to discussing Michael Jackson's legacy, it's fair to say the King of Pop had much more influence on music than he did on football, unless you count Bas Savage's moonwalking goal celebrations for Tranmere Rovers. And if you were going to pick one club for Jackson to leave some form of legacy on, you certainly wouldn't have banked on him dropping by Exeter City's St.

Where would we all be without the UK Press? An even better question is what am I doing adding even more print to the already exhausted saga of the world record transfer of the greatest narcissist in the history of football?

Liverpool may have the edge on the rest of England when it comes to European titles, but when it comes to women they seem to be two steps behind (either that or Everton's PR team has very average taste).

You don't have to pick a Cheryl or a Pinho - even a Curran or Clancy will do.

But while Le Coq Sportif have done a fabulous job with Everton's new home shirt, they could have found better models to put those shirts on.

The Big Four? Try the Only Four. If fans of the English Premier League are increasingly bemoaning the seemingly unshakeable dominance of the former, imagine the absurdity of a division comprised solely of four teams. Yet when the new Lithuanian football season finally kicked off at the beginning of this month, there was a profound sense of relief in many quarters that this bizarre scenario had albeit by a hair's breadth been narrowly avoided.

Riley is a good referee. He's an honest referee. He's not a Manchester United fan - he was, but like all true United fans he's moved on to supporting FC United of Manchester in protest at the American scum taking over his beloved club.
