Conspiracy theories don't usually do it for me, but tonight's farce is enough to make me pause
for thought. If Jack Warner can retain a high ranking position in FIFA than nothing in football
is impossible; could it be that UEFA, frightened by Roma's poor start to the campaign and desperate
to show off their new Europa League, have issued a far reaching anti-non-famous club mandate?

not as competitive in terms of talent as the La Liga, the Premiership still remains the most

It's been 10 years since Arsenal fell against Tottenham in the Premier League, and Saturday at
the Emirates was no different. In what was a bit of revenge for last year's 4-4 enthralling draw at
the Grove, Arsenal saw off Spurs 3-0, a scoreline that flattered the home side, while at the same
time could of been much worse.

Is anyone else starting to get a little nervous for the Man City "project"?
I was thrilled by the way the team were playing for the first two months of the season. Â They
were incisive, dashing, and had a swagger about them that said "we can do this". Â As sure as one
swallow doesn't make a summer, a handful of early victories doesn't define a season.

collapsed to a humiliating sixth defeat in seven games. The 3-1 loss at Fulham, during which
defenders Philipp Degen and Jamie Carragher were both sent off, was their fifth league defeat of
the season.

We are twins, lookalikes. But between us, there is a difference of heaven and earth. I'm the
most celebrated defender at my club, while he's a young upstart. I'm the most uninspiring captain
English football has ever seen, while he's yet to captain any side higher than a reserve
side in the Swiss Third Division.

Liverpool will appeal the red cards shown to Jamie Carragher and Philip Degen; Rafael Benitez has
confirmed. Degen's challenge was more worthy of a yellow than a red; but it was still a bit
wreckless, whereas Carragher's could be rescinded if the FA watch the replays and decide if firstly
Zamora was offside; and the fact [.

win at Craven Cottage. Liverpool picked up two red cards along the way as Erik Nevland's clever
goal proved to be enough for Fulham to grab all three points.
Bobby Zamora got things going for the home side in the first half, but his strike was quickly
cancelled out by a stunning Fernando Torres goal.

With J Hutcherson -- Courtesy of Major League Soccer, we now have a price point for confirming the
obvious. DC president Kevin Payne's $5,000 dollar fine should have been enough, but it had to be
chased with an apology. Given that the fine was higher than the ones normally handed out for red
cards or mouthing of at the ref, maybe it would've been fairer to have it either/or.

After a second half of the season that was a tad weird to say the least, Dynamo get a chance to put

I think this video above truly expresses my feeling about Seattle tonight. And while the truth is I
have never once flipped the toggle on an XBox, or done a 360 on top of one, I know for a fact that
an Orange Ring of Death exists on those consoles, and that's what I am expecting to see over these
two legs, starting tonight.

It was all or nothing for Rafa Benitez and Liverpool on Saturday. While a loss wouldn't
officially knock them out of the title race, it would be the club's fifth loss in a row and
continue to undermine Benitez's job status.
However, Fernando Torres was passed fit, and his presence in the starting lineup was welcome
considering captain Steven Gerrard was injured.
