BigFourZa's Irreverent Reporter(IR)© has a problem. For apparently, he (or she. For equality's sake. We're all for women's lib) is not the only one in the footballing fraternity that has a © after their name anymore. Reports emerging from the Glazer villa on Miami beach suggest that after winning 133 games by that scoreline, Manchester United have registered '3-2′ as their trademark.

So with the crux of the holiday season around the corner here are the top 5 noise makers for the blues this merry season:

#5 - Romeu

Highly understated. His performances have been amazing, most notably the assurance with he passes the ball around in his position. Very glad to hear that Barca only have a first option to buy him ONLY IF Chelsea decide to release him and not a buy back clause as initially reported!

So we've gathered that Bastian Schweinsteiger's basketball fanaticism has scaled to extraordinary heights during his injury recuperation time at Bayern Munich. During this time of sadness (he nearly switched to professional basketball last year!), Bastian discovered that hoop shooting can be rather therapeutic, especially with Euro being less than four months away.

John Terry is facing consequences of a substantial nature as the FA begin their investigation into whether or not the England and Chelsea captain racially abused Anton Ferdinand during Chelsea's 1-0 loss to QPR last weekend. His captaincy is on the line. His reputation with Chelsea supporters such as myself is as well.

Batty, Ferdinand, Captain Marvel and the Top 10 freak football injuries

Swans defender Alan Tate won't be able to play a part in the Welsh club's survival campaign for some time after he broke his leg in a golf buggy accident. But Tate is far from the first footballer to come a cropper off the pitch.

EA Sports, proud (for better or worse) creators of the gargantuanly successful FIFA gaming series, have been making friends with everybody lately. Running round making club-specific deals instead of focusing on improving the product how wonderful. But I digress. This new-found friendliness from EA continues today, with Chelsea announcing an official partnership with the conglomerate for the 2011-12 season.

LeBron has teamed up with Sprite for the Spark Parks Project a multi-year commitment to build and restore play environments where teens, families and neighbors can get outside and be active. The initiative kicked off with LeBron's driving force and 21 refreshed basketball courts around the country.

You might not think that a man with a powerful beard and his own vineyard like Andrea Pirlo would have any time for video games, but you would be very, very wrong. The 33-year-old Juventus midfielder has a new biography out now entitled "I think therefore I play" and James Horncastle wrote an excellent piece for ESPN on a section in the book about Pep Guardiola, who tried to buy Pirlo from Milan when he was still at Barcelona.

Fabio Capello isn't the only former England manager looking for a new gig.
