Gary Lineker may himself exude a certain charm-free smugness but next to the high king of smug gobshitery that is Piers Morgan, the Match Of The Day host is a crisp-promoting little sweetie bum.

Morgan took on Lineker on Twitter today, as he continues to cultivate his contrived "Mr Nasty" image.

CNN's Piers Morgan (left) does a weird thing with his mouth after he speaks. His lips pinch tight. As if the torpedo tube is being sealed until the next salvo. It can be quite intimidating. It fits the style of a man who was previously employed as a tabloid editor in the warfare of English newspapers.

Most of the United States was focused on the "other football" this weekend, but there were still some soccer business stories coming out over the last few days. We'll start with FOX's broadcast of the Manchester United/Chelsea match over the weekend. Once again, the network offered an EPL match over network television via a live broadcast.

The English Premier League is widely regarded as the most exciting League across the globe but in many cases, big games between the top clubs turn out to be dull affairs with both teams canceling each other out, but today, at Stamford Bridge, Man Utd and Chelsea provided one of the truly memorable classic games that ended in a pulsating 3-3 draw.

Young midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is one of the Premier League's more charismatic chaps, with his all-action and passionate performances on the pitch endearing him to Wolves' fans ever since he made his loan move from Arsenal.

The pre-season for any sport is an exciting time, full of anxiety and hope.

After the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at the Emirates on Sunday, I was emailing with a friend who has been an Arsenal season ticket holder since the ‘70s. He knows infinitely more about the team than I do, so I figured I'd let him speak in his own words. (My email comments inserted for clarity of what questions/comments he's responding to.

Come on everybody, channel your inner Piers Morgan. Throw your hands up in the air, aim for the hills and run with abandon. Just don't forget to unlock your wrists, so that the sprint for the horizon seems that much more fueled by pure terror. And remember to shrill.

Wayne Rooney, his sidekick hair transplant and his nefarious Mancunian buddies traveled to the Emirates on Sunday.

As Blackburn Rovers languish towards the bottom of the Premier League, manager Steve Kean continues to be backed by the club's Indian owners: The Venkys Group. Despite the current trend in the game of sacking underperforming managers prematurely, fan protests outside Ewood Park and the total inexperience of Scottish coach Steve Kean at this level, Kean still remains on the Lancashire side's bench.

Here we are in the January transfer window, and we are all excited over the new stars that will be coming to the Emirates.

There is talk of this one, and talk of that one. Yet behind all the hype in the press you have Wenger telling us what I am afraid is going to be a very big disappointment for us all, and that is they do not want to spend any money with this financial crisis going to only get worse.

To those of you who missed it there was a really good program on BBC 1 last night based on depression in sport. The show was presented by and based mainly upon Freddie Flintoff and his own battle against depression whilst very much in the spotlight playing cricket for England.

Flintoff said how there was a lot of pressure on him to be the leader of the cricket team and to motivate others and lead them to victory but there were times when he felt so low that he wasn't able to do this, yet felt unable to admit to his issues in front of his team-mates.

"Another wee dram Colonel?"

You'll be glad to know that Paul Gascoigne is not dead...yet, and that he's also been reminiscing with Piers Morgan (for the ruddy-faced bounder's tear-milking Life Stories television show) about the time he visited Libya, snooted enough fluff to down a Stegosaurus and then took the fruits of Colonel Gaddafi's loins out on the lash around gay Tripoli:

"I went to Libya when I played for Middlesbrough and took Gaddafi's two sons out and got them absolutely lamped.

EMMANUEL Frimpong has had a corking bust-up with celebrity Gooner Piers Morgan after the TV host had a dig at the young Arsenal midfielder. Frimpong was sent off in his Premier League debut in the 2-0 defeat against Liverpool at the Emirates yesterday and he was in fighting mood when Morgan gave him some grief about his haird-do and his dismissal.

In the age of the microwave culture, with the spectre of media hyperbole dangling grimly in front of us like King Kong's nutsack, every week is an enormous week for a club like Arsenal. Every result has permanent ramifications; every fluctuation of fortune is intransient and every whisper of discontent has the tabloids reaching into their clipart files for the broken cannon graphic.

'Players are going to get themselves into trouble over Twitter, I can tell. I can't ban it and I'm not going to try.

As Piers Morgan said, "is this what Wenger meant by shoring up our defence?" 19 year old Carl Jenkinson, Arsenal's new defensive signing this summer from Charlton Athletic, scored a wonderful own goal today in a pre-season match against ... Continue reading →

Cost of English footballers starts scramble on world commodity markets | Harry Pearson

The governor of the Bank of England is to switch the basis of sterling to 'the home-grown box-to-box midfielder standard These days, whenever a moderate English player is transferred for a staggering sum of money – usually to Liverpool – all protests about the iceberg-sized fee are hushed immediately by the uttering of a simple mantra, "English Premium".

During today's Parliamentary hearing's in the UK concerning NewsCorp's knowledge and involvement in the phone and E-mail hacking scandal that led to the closure of "The News of The World" newspaper, we had somewhat of an exciting interlude when a member of the public gallery brushed past security and attempted to slap a pie in the face of 80 year old media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

So far, we've managed to steer well clear of Piers Morgan and his moobs. It's unlike us, you will agree, to swerve a saga that
boasts Twitter feuds, pectoral muscles (however flabby), verbal abuse above and beyond the call of duty and Rio Ferdinand.

On the list of 'Things in the world which need studying', atop lies the grammar and diction of professional footballers, obviously.

(Obviously.)

I think the mantle of Twitter king is now Rio Ferdinand? (Having taken over for Darren Bent, obviously.)

The king needn't always reign superior apparently he's not so good wif werds.

Joey Barton recently heeded Danny Simpson's advise and decided to join Twitter. Joey has been known to be quite forward and somewhat outspoken and of course wasted no time pondering whether or not his biggest fans Robbie Savage and Piers Morgan would be as vicious in a logged and public manner. Of course they were [.

Manchester United 4-1 Schalke 04

An eerie, subdued atmosphere accompanied Manchester United's players when they came out to face Schalke in the second leg of this Champions League semi final and, despite a 2-0 aggregate lead, it remained that way for a while as United had not, initially, displayed the offensive, one-sided football we saw in Germany.

Whether its news, politics, entertainment or advertising, the British accent seems everywhere in American culture. There are many contemporary British accented characters making a heavy impact, including Piers Morgan of CNN, Stuart Varney of Fox News, Stewie of Family Guy, entertainer/host Ricky Gervais and the Geiko Gecko.

Yeah, we're kinda psychic I guess.

I need a favor, broseph..

We did this. Or so I'm convinced.

True or not, it's rather vindicating to see the latest rumors put Capello in yet another bind with regards to his captain issues, or lack thereof. It seems he's run out of second-string leaders to masquerade as top dog, so he's decided to finally give it back to England's Brave ahead of next weekend's vital fixture with Wales.
