Television has had a profound influence on football: the players, agents, business models of clubs,
the relationship between league play and international football - you name it. And few television
programs are more loved by fans than highlight shows like the BBC's

has been on the air with interruptions) since 1964.
1000 days. Or thereabouts.
After a rather dull game of Westminster-Holyrood constitutional ping pong, Alex Salmond has named
his (rough) date.
The destiny of a nation, as dictated by the constitutional will of the Scottish people, will be
decided in the autumn of 2014.
What a year to pick.

After logging off last night , I became the recipient of some most disturbing news. I have been
ousted as The Chairman of my local Wiff Waff Club (Ping Pong to some). It is a very small select
club which makes pinpointing the bad seed very straightforward.

With the transfer window closed, what was the big announcement out of the Union? Peter Nowak is
now on Twitter.
Nowak tweeted, "Even old dogs can learn new tricks. Looking forward to interacting with the best
fans in @MLS. Be gentle on me! #DOOP."
The official Union Twitter account assured followers that it actually was Nowak doing the
tweeting, including, "Believe it or not it is actually him," and, "We promise you, it's his fingers
doing the typing.
The Red Bulls Hoist Silverware: A Rare SightIt wasn't the prettiest cup victory you'll ever
see, but somehow the New York Red Bulls managed a 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Sunday at the
Emirates Cup in London. Combined with Saturday's 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain, it was enough to
earn RBNY the trophy and allow them to return home with something tangible to show for a grueling
48 hours in London.
Fred's last gasp goal saved Brazil from a quick exit from the Copa America. Ganso's flick found
the veteran striker who took it one bounce and laid it past Justo Villar. After that the team
celebrated as if they had won the World Cup. The way they're playing such celebrations might be in
order.
There's a great Japanese movie I watched several times in the dorms in college. It was simply
called Ping Pong and it was about Ping Pong (surprise!). It was the first time I had ever heard the
word skunk used as a verb, and it meant when your opponent completely dominates you in a shutout or
lopsided victory.

He got her tickets for an Arsenal game, she got him some damn good seats for Wimbledon (but was
shockingly knocked out earlier this week). In all honestly, we don't know what the dilly between
Nicklas Bendtner and Caroline Wozniacki is, Kickettes, other than they were recently seen out
grabbing some grub with platonic pals.
The US's best scoring opportunity? Robbie Rogers is not going to get a call against Sergio
Ramos. That has to be written in stone somewhere, no?
The worse thing you can lose as a team is belief. We've seen US players lose it before. Clint
Dempsey being chiefly culapable of the regulars over the past few years.
To begin, I'd like to thank Mohit and welcome him on board! It truly is hard to set apart time
to type once you move out to international waters. I'll try chipping in whenever I can and this is
one of those occasions that calls for it.
2-4 at Sunderland. This game had so much in it that it almost made me entitle want to chew my

A result to put a smile back on our faces, a Nasri inspired Arsenal waltzed past a doggedly
determined Leeds side to halt the slide against Championship opposition.
The game kicked off with some tough challenges signalling a hard fought encounter but we soon
got our passing game going, Arshavin and Chamakh combining nicely before the latter dummied the
return of a one/two letting a besnooded Nasri slip through the centre of defence and bury the ball
in the 5th minute.
MILAN, Italy — Leonardo recorded his fifth straight win as Inter Milan boss as the champions beat
Cesena 3-2 at the San Siro on Wednesday to go fourth in Serie A. Christian Chivu was the unlikely
match-winner after goals from Erjon Bogdani and Emanuele Giaccherini had cancelled out Samuel Eto'o
and Diego Milito's early strikes [.
