Fabio Capello isn't the only former England manager looking for a new gig. Sven-Goran Eriksson, out of work since he was sacked by Leicester in October, decided to join the many others offering their services for the Leeds job recently vacated by Simon Grayson. But Leeds chairman and cantankerous owl Ken Bates, was less than receptive to his offer.

For someone who has been described this season as being controlled by a kid on a Playstation, David Luiz has taken all the flack on the chin, concentrated on his game and for me, has got better. It's almost as if someone has had a word with him and has asked him to concentrate recently on the defensive side of his game.

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!

Everyone has an excuse when it comes to losing in FIFA 12. I reckon my shameless excuse is blaming the superhuman AI, particularly in FUT. But, you know, whatever.

Danny Sturridge took a much different route when explaining his dismissal from the Chelsea FIFA 12 pro player tournament, an event we posted video of a few weeks back.

I posted earlier this week a rant AVB had about the media coverage of Chelsea and quite rightly so. We had previously see him defend Fernando Torres' form in pre season by claiming that they were "turning him into an obsession".
Last week, we heard him defend David Luiz and his position in the Chelsea side again, because of focus from the media.

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.

Sometimes you have to shake your head and laugh. It's pure entertainment. It shouldn't look that easy. Little Lionel, not even halfway through his career, continues to be an absolute anomaly.

EXCLUSIVE: FIFA 12 review: The even more beautiful game

FIFA 12 (3+)PlayStation 3, Xbox 360RRP: £54.99Out: September 30Rating: 5/5 Perhaps recognising that recent FIFA installments often felt more like expansion packs than full games, EA Sports promised revolution not evolution with this season's update.

Nani has received a lot of (deserved) praise in last 18 months for stepping up his game and maturing as a player. United's player of the year last season, the creator of THAT goal against Arsenal, the Playstation-esque chip against Tottenham, and a fistful of crucial goals that have sometimes been forgotten (like his goal [.

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.

Konami has released the official PC demo for the highly-anticipated Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 video game.

FIFA is easily my favorite video game ever. I have spent more time playing the FIFA series than I have on any other game or game series. In my opinion, FIFA 11 has been the best FIFA in history. FIFA 12 will have a lot to live up to but I definitely like what I am seeing so far. The gameplay updates seem minor compared to past editions but I believe that is a good thing.

Some questions just don't have answers. Hamlet, for example, struggled with the almighty question: why are we here?

To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

Which, if scaled a bit in scope and taken less existentially and more pertinently, can be applied to anyone reading this blog.

That is if you consider video games as art.

EA Sports claim FIFA 11 is the "most authentic global football experience available" drawing on a detailed player database compiled by 1700 scouts around the world to recreate each player. And in cases where the data is incomplete or incorrect, players are happy to help out and correct the mistake.

Schalke 04 vice-captain Benedikt Höwedes has confessed that when he plays on the PlayStation with his team mates, it's usually the person who has Manchester United that wins.

"United are a dream team," he said. "I will really enjoy playing them, but I don't think we have to hide.

Let me be frank. I loved Xavi's interview in The Guardian earlier this month, in spite of the fact that I don't remember a word of what he said except the following. Answering an early question of Sid Lowe's how do you respond when the opposition forces you to play on the back foot?

Geile Tore fallen fast an jedem Spieltag. Noch geilere Tore bekommen dann am Ende des Jahres für die Ewigkeit den Titel „Tor des Jahres". Geil sind diese Tore und mir fehlen eigentlich die Worte, denn ich schaue mir nebenbei diese Videos an und kann nur immer wieder staunen. Was waren das für geile Tore früher.

"Let me tell you that Nani isn't very good on the piano. He's hopeless!" said Anderson. "I didn't know about Berba's drawing... My talents? I'm good at video games. Does that count? It's important to relax, so I spend a lot of time on my PlayStation. I play mainly football games, but I like shooting ones, too.

I must admit that although I greatly admire Lionel Messi, and probably agree that he is the most noteworthy player in the world, I am not wholly in agreement about winning the FIFA Balon d'Or today.I am not sure what the criteria for the title are, but if they indeed are the player that seems to do the most amazing things on camera - the one that most looks like a Playstation player, it is indeed
