We thought it'd be appropriate to spend a few minutes of today to send our thoughts and prayers
out to the families of Egypt's football tragedy last night. Contrary to popular
beliefs, we all know that football shouldn't be a matter of life and death. Lives can't be taken
away out of one's anger at the scoreline of a match.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish was incandescent with rage after watching Liverpool lose 3-1 at
Bolton earlier today, and in his post-match interview, he accused his players of putting in a
'disrespectful' performance.It's still hard to process the reality: Liverpool were beaten 3-1 by a
team that:* Was 19th in the league at the start of the day* Had highest goals-conceded record in
the league*
In the late 1980′s, football stickers were still the rage so when Pro Set launched a collectible
card collection in England and the United States in the early 1990′s, they definitely turned
heads. The quality of the photos were spectacular ...

Fulham 2-1 Arsenal
So, a pretty dismal start to the New Year, but perhaps a focus sharpener as this month's transfer
window opens.
It was the ultimate clichéd game of two halves. Arsenal were pretty damn good in the first,
creating loads of chances, passing neatly, very enjoyable to watch and well worth their
advantage.
While some people continue to revel in the holidaze, we're still combing through our covers to
find the telly remote.
The rage we feel inside when we can't locate the damn device even though we just had it mere
moments ago is unspeakable, which is why the crowning of our FPCOTY will have to wait until we
find it/tomorrow.
Liverpool voiced out their rage after acknowledging FA's punishment towards their star striker,
Luis Suarez, who received an eight match as he is being found guilty in making a racist remarks
towards Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
The Reds, through their official voiced out a stern disapproval statement regarding the
decision, but reports stated that the club's response was taken off from their site 30 minutes
after being shown.

Straight off the bat, this is from the same people that brought you the 'King Kenny's Christmas
Wishes' video at the tail-end of last week, so if you happen to be one of those Manchester United
fans that spirals into an instant, all-consuming, catatonic rage at the merest hint of gentle
ribbing then steer well clear.
There are ways to make life easier for referees. This weekend was dominated by
a lot of talk about the difficult and ungrateful job a referee has to make. There has been a lot of
talk about pressure. None of that talk might actually help Babak Rafati, as it's mere speculation,
why he attempted suicide.
Midnight. Halfway through. Normal people might be thinking about bed. Or working up to cutting some
moves. Or getting enough drink in them to make a mistimed, ill-judged and futile pass at someone
they've spotted across the bar.
And I'm gearing up for a night of football chat. If you've been out, got back and have some change
kicking about in your pockets it would be very, very gratefully received.
Image that makes the heart shudder in fear
As fans, we are more than easily riled aren't we. I will be the first to admit that when it
comes to Arsenal, emotions are rarely things within my control. When I saw the way Real Madrid has
acted in trying to tap up one of our players, I was incensed.

subtle, iconic image to describe this great paladin of calcio, but I think this one fully describes
his shocking talent. Credit where credit is due, I found it on the official Juventus
website."][/caption]

Well that was interesting. David Luiz, as I predicted before the match, gives away a penalty,
then two red cards and a ridiculously inconsistent display of refereeing. Have your vote for man of
the match while your rage simmers. You'll find it an easy choice.
Sidenote: Fantastic display from our nine men during the second half.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that football matches and in particular local derbies can
bring out the worst in people. Where, however, is the line in the sand? What is the definition of
what acceptable behaviour inside a football ground? This week, we have seen an example of a
national newspaper attempting to draw that line, and they ended up looking a little "odd" as a
result themselves.

Mario had a funny old day on Saturday; telling the Villa fans to shut-up on several occasions,
raging at Yaya Toure for a slightly misplaced pass, being kicked in the kidneys while prone by said
Yaya Monster for said rage, tracking his man back into his own half!
Just a week ago, it all seemed to finally be moving in the right direction. After a painful
start to the season, including some terrible losses and a coaching change, Inter looked to be
turning the corner. Claudio Ranieri arrived to take command and seemed to be bringing back the
old Inter, winning his first two games.
Carlos Tevez has today announced his attention to spend his recent club suspension refusing to
engage in any way with his children, Florencia, 6, and Katie, 2. Manchester City handed down the
suspension to the errant striker after he disobeyed manager Roberto Mancini's orders for him to
come on as a substitute, so Tevez has decided to bring his work home with him.
What a ridiculous match.
Is it possible for a match to be so frustrating and anger-inducing, yet also encouraging? The
inability to finish still fills me with rage, and that Torres miss. I just... I can't even.
Speechless.
I could whine about the fact that two of their goals were offside so it should have been a 1-1
draw, but it also could have been 2-1 to us if Ramires and Torres had scored, and it could have
been different if Rooney hadn't missed the penalty, so it's futile for me to complain right
now.
Kenny Dalglish seeing red over referees' 'contentious decisions'
• Liverpool manager vents rage after penalty decision • Club owners to be consulted before
complaint is made Kenny Dalglish vented his fury at the standard of Premier League refereeing after
his Liverpool team lost 1–0 at Stoke City.
Apologies in advance for a rather laconic article, but Sunday's match has hit me with the emotional
equivalent of a shotgun blast. Rather than subject you all to reading either my utter rage at
suffering ...
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has asked his players to win in comfortable fashion in
Monday's clash with Tottenham.
Last season the two sides played out a controversial fixture at Old Trafford, with the Red
Devils winning on the back of a strange goal from Nani, where the Portuguese winger simply stole
the ball from Gomes and slotted home.
FIFA competitions are known for their rage-inducing calls and seemingly blind referees, and this
years Women's World Cup is no different. The latest questionable calls came yesterday with the

Megan and Amanda feature in this episode, as they discuss a few happenings in Major League
Soccer, including wonder goals, snapping winless streaks, and cows scoring goals in brand new
stadiums. The main subject is, of course, the Gold Cup, as they share their rage and worry about
the USMNT's recent performances and laugh at Mexico's tainted chicken predicament.
Amanda, Rachna, and Shana have some issues with the US Men's and Women's National Teams, after
their disappointing performances over the weekend. They rage about the MNT roster and the Spain
friendly in general, predict disaster for the WNT in Germany (Lauren Cheney's goal aside), and
discuss players as My Little Ponies.
Oasis Singer and devout Manchester City fan Liam Gallagher gives his short
opinion on the the 2011 Champions League Final. Can you smell the rage?
How bad is this headbutt?
Well, it's pretty bad, but what's the punishment worth?
Check it out:
The headbutter (I know that's not a word but work with me) is Jesus Corona of Cruz Azul. The person
who received the headbutt is Sergio Marti, a trainer with Morelia.
This happened on Sunday at the end of Morelia's 3-0 win over Cruz Azul.
Lots of smart, even inspiring, responses and rebuttals to the rage piece. But writing on the
internet is like Barry Bonds's head the more people talk about it, the more it turns into something
else. So I want to take a second to tighten a couple of screws before we let the topic go.
The idea is not "you should care less about [your team] [soccer] [sports].
I am here to save your life, and I'm not kidding. This isn't about the state of discourse on the
internet, or nostalgia for some imaginary pastoral of 1950s civility, or making sure I don't get
yelled at in blog comments. This is about you, and how you are going to live in the world. I mean
how you're going to live as a sports fan, but let there be no limit to the revelation: I mean how
you're going to live in every other way, too.

"The rage burning inside Didier Drogba as he was ushered down the tunnel by Paulo Ferreira
suggested that this was no warm-up for the main event at Stamford Bridge in two days' time. This
was a match that Chelsea badly needed to win and as they strove to haul themselves past a resilient
and resourceful Stoke side, one of their fans suggested that Drogba should have put the ball into
the box.
Oh man, it's one of those days already and it's only just begun. I won't bore you with the
details but suffice to say having to re-do all of last night's work first thing this morning is
frustrating.
For some reason the Arsecast developed a mighty hiss. Which is like painting your sitting room,
waking up the next morning and finding someone had then covered it with a layer of ash and
dust.
Every time Philipp Lahm does an interview, it appears he's either contemplating his answer to
extraordinary philosophical depths, or each question is simply the hardest thing he's ever done.
Given than he genuinely comes off as rather bright, and not simply for a footballer, it's likely
the former.
ZURICH, Switzerland — Soccer's ruling body has postponed Yemen's home qualifying game for the
2012 Olympics against Singapore because of anti-government protests. FIFA says it agreed with the
Asian Football Confederation to delay Wednesday's scheduled first-leg match by one week until March
2. FIFA says the game could be switched to a neutral country if [.
Oh let the debate rage on.
New York Red Bull manager Hans Backe stated over the weekend to the New York Post that his main
goal for the season is a Supporter's Shield trophy, not a MLS Cup.
"My target is to win the Shield. I think we're good enough to compete with the best teams.
I just couldn't understand why he did it. How the fuck did that just happen? It was agony. Three
times we had taken the lead and three times we had thrown it away.
Rio Ferdinand trudged back to his position ahead of the restart and imagine the same rage was
going through his head. Why had he tried to flick the ball of Craig Bellamy's head in the dying
moments of the game?
Regular readers of HTIOT probably read Tweed's post earlier that Prozone has announced the
Chicago Fire as their newest client. When I first read the news I was a bit upset, but the more I
thought about it, the more enraged about the situation I became. Statistics are important to me,
and I feel that they should be important to MLS as well.
"Don't blame it on Henry, don't blame it on the injuries, don't blame it on the referees,
blame it on Eboue!"
Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal
There were a multitude of mistakes on Saturday from both players and referees. Suggesting just
one is purely responsible for us losing a 4-0 lead is just silly.
MILAN, Italy Inter defender Cristian Chivu has been handed a four-match ban after punching an
opponent during Thursday's 3-0 victory over Bari. Chivu struck Bari's Marco Rossi in the second
half but referee Andrea Romeo and his assistants missed the incident and no action was taken. After
the matter was reviewed by the authorities, [.
Yesterday I was full of rage combined with sadness. I believe I've never been so disappointed after
a Wolves game. I was actually thinking about to shut my blog down and stop to report about the team
that keeps letting me and all their supporters down, time after time again. A couple of more games

It's Carra's 33rd birthday today. Hats off to a man for all seasons, a man of the people, a man
of so many faces...
Confused.
Immensely proud.
Stoic.
Did I leave the gas on?

I hope everyone's rage has died down a little. Mine was slowly subsiding as I looked ahead to
the West Ham game on the weekend and today's MLS SuperDraft. However, my anger began to bubble up
again after hearing the latest comments from our captain:
"I don't know if it is long ball or it is a rugby kick but it worked for them.
