We love Darius Vassell, whats not to love, a Premier League footballer who decided to go out on
a limb and try out life in another part of the world in order to revive his career instead of
taking a step down to the Championship. Anyone who has visited his excellent blog would know just
how down to earth and amusing his posts can be, if you haven't already visited CLICK

Defending champion Glasgow Rangers FC are up 8 points on Glasgow Celtic in the race to the Scottish
Premier League title.
Despite claims about their lack of aesthetic beauty, Rangers captain David Weir knows what's
important at the end of the day.
They are not an easy watch, though.
Did you notice the sky was a little bluer today? The birds chirping in perfect 4-part harmony or
the day just seeming... more attractive?
There's good reason. We're excited to be the first to report that Xabi Alonso's wife Nagore gave
birth to a little baby girl yesterday in Madrid, slightly earlier than her April due date.
We'll batter them at Old Trafford.
Manchester City were outplayed pretty much from the first whistle to the final whistle on their
home turf, and only collected the win because they were awarded a penalty for a foul outside the

LOS ANGELES - It was one of those rare afternoons on this past Saturday, as Pistolas FC Los Angeles
faced off against the Irish and Scottish ex-pats of St. Patrick's FC.
With a better record in hand, and convincing 9-1 and 8-5 wins in their first two meetings, Pistolas
FC was eager to take the series sweep; not so fast.
Fulham are on the brink of history. On Wednesday, they will be playing in the Europa League
Final against Atletico Madrid. Win or lose this match, Fulham will leave some sort of historical
mark. The question is which historical direction will Fulham go?
If they win this Final, I would compare this season to the 2001 New England Patriots.
One day after being released by the Minnesota Vikings, Randy Moss was claimed off waivers by the
Tennessee Titans. Tennessee will be the third team Moss has played for during this 2010 NFL season.
He started the year in New England before being traded to Minnesota.
Many speculated that Moss would be picked up by Dallas, St.
I had said yesterday that this match would probably turn out to be one of many games against Man
United I remember for the wrong reasons. Well, ten hours on, it's a wonder I remember anything from
the ninety minutes on show at all, right or wrong. Before my memory of the match gets superseded
