Down like a sacker spuds Sunderland forward James McClean scored a cheeky opener against Arsenal
after defender Per Mertesacker generously fell over. The German defender left the field on a
stretcher after the incident. That prompted Soccer Saturday pundit Robbie Fowler who had taken to
calling the Arsenal man "Metzelder" to say: "I [.
The new Indian League franchise got their squads ready during the week, with a fantasy league type
auction.
The six week run tournament, seen each team bid for an "Icon" player and a foreign coach set up
in the same style as the Indian one day cricket format currently used to great effect.

It was a quite transfer window for Liverpool by last season's standards, with Wrexham's teenage
goalkeeper Danny Ward the only notable arrival. However, since the window was introduced 10 seasons
ago, the Reds have made some excellent signings in what is usually a frenzied period littered with
hit-or-miss transfers.

After a few weeks of rumours it now looks like Muang Thong United coach Robbie Fowler will be
playing in the new Indioan league thingy which is throwing plenty of cash at plenty of aging big
names in the hope of boosting the game's profile.
Where does this leave Fowler's status as Muang Thong United player coach?
Like an outdated fantasy league auction, the new Premier League Soccer featuring six teams based
in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal bid for the rights to sign several "icon" players."
Hernan Crespo, who scored nine goals for Parma last season, drew the highest bid and went for
$840,000 (£536,000) at the sprightly age of 36.
The new tournament in India had its auction today. A quick refresher for those who allow quirky
short-term tournament formats to slip from the back of their minds (shame): five teams, each team
bids for a leading "icon", along with two foreigners and a manager, with a wage budget of $2.5m.
(How much is being ballparked for the icons 30-40%?
Fabio Cannavaro. Sought after wherever he goes, apparently. Here, he's attracting a bit of interest

We're not going to get wrapped in the complexities of the newly founded Premier League Soccer
tournament in India for two reasons.
Fabio Cannavaro will begin his Indian journey this February
This Monday, the six franchises of the new IPL styled soccer league put down bids for the
marquee players. Fabio Cannavaro, the 38 year old former Ballon D'Or defender drew the highest bid
of $830,000 and was sold to Siliguri.

"F**king kick him, you ponce" Peter Reid, bringing the beautiful game to the
India
Trying to break the massive, all-conquering hold cricket has on India ain't gonna be easy, but
the organisers of the new Indian Premier League Soccer tournament are doing their best to get the
locals interested by getting a number of ex-greats involved.
During his four years in charge at Anfield, Roy Evans produced one of the most exciting and
entertaining Liverpool teams of the last thirty years. With the likes of Robbie Fowler and Steve
McManaman playing alongside club legends John Barnes and Ian Rush, it was pure joy being a fan in
the mid-1990s.
Ep.21 Swan-upmanship by Off The Post on Mixcloud Much like Thierry Henry and Paul Scholes (and
Jason Euell), the OTP Podcast is back in its rightful place – that place being, of course, one of
ignorance, bias and second hand stats. This week the Pod are full of praise for Swansea's
dismantling of Arsenal, Alex [.
Former Liverpool strikers Robbie Fowler and Fernando Morientes have reportedly agreed to join a
revamped Indian football league.
The format, which hopes to replicate the cricketing success of the Indian Premier League (IPL), is
apparently attracting stars such as Fabio Cannavaro, Juan Pablo Sorin and Robert Pires.
With Martin Luther King's legacy being commemorated across the country, it's an eye-opening
shame that blatant forms of racism still exist around the world, specifically in the soccer
forum.
Over the weekend, U.S. midfielder Maurice Edu and Rangers teammate Kyle Bartley were the subject
of racial abuse via Twitter, an incident that resulted in the arrest of a 41-year-old man who was
due to appear in a Scottish court on Monday.
The practice of veteran stars seeing out their careers in lesser leagues isn't exactly new, nor
is it rare. The Middle East has been using oil-soaked checks to lure eager foreigners for years.
And yet, this weekend might just take the cake for odd locations and trail-blazing new football
landscapes.
Indians will see Roberto Pires in action next month
Instant cricket, the 20/20 version has found a home in India's Premier league, one of the
world's most lucrative sporting brands, till corruption eroded its worth. The success of the IPL is
inspiring a new soccer league in India which will see the likes of Roberto Pires, Fabio Cannavaro,
Juan Pablo Sorin, and others participating in a soccer competition styled on the IPL format.
Muang Thong United player coach Robbie Fowler is being linked with a move to India. This story is
very low on detail but big on headlines and also gives me a chance to use one of the pictures I
took when I saw Fowler in action recently.
Despite a poor end to the season the club had said they would keep Fowler on but that still remains
to be seen.
As we saw against Stoke earlier today, Liverpool are still crying out for a 'fox in the box'
goal-poacher; a Robbie Fowler-type player with a knack for scoring goals regularly. With that in
mind, Spurs manager Harry Redknapp confirmed today that several clubs are interested in Jermain
Defoe, who is 'disappointed' with the way things are going for him at Spurs.
Last year the Indian Football Association announced it would be launching Premier League Soccer
in early 2012, with six franchises. The franchises are located in Kolkata, Howrah, Asansol,
Midnapore, and Siliguri. When the league was announced, IFA also stated that each team would have
one icon player and a maximum of three overseas players and one overseas player from Asia.
Modern football is a cynical, empty game at times, and as a despondent Fernando Torres lamented a
few months ago, 'the romance in football has gone'. I definitely agree with that, but every once in
a while, the magic and romance of football returns and restores our faith in the game, if only for
a moment.

Erm, I guess bad things come in fours, not threes then. Coming swiftly on the heels of Robbie
Fowler's innocent yet badly timed Lionel Richie 'black-up', Alan Hansen's 'coloured' remarks and
the Luis Suarez case, comes news that Oldham youngster Tom Adeyemi was allegedly racially abused by
Liverpool fans during last night's FA Cup game at Anfield (which the Reds won 5-1).

Lionel Richie? I was going for Craig Johnston meets Bruce Grobbelaar...
This hasn't been the best of periods for Liverpool FC, certainly in terms of PR. With the club
tying itself in all kinds of knots over the Luis Suarez affair, and then Anfield legend Alan Hansen
getting lambasted for his out-dated use of the word "coloured", it's been a heck a few weeks for
the club.
Mail: Robbie Fowler posts 'blacked up' picture on Twitter
Robbie Fowler has been slammed after posting a picture of himself 'blacked up' on Twitter. The
former Liverpool striker is shown dressed as legendary Motown singer Lionel Richie.

Two time champions Muang Thong United sit in 3rd place in the Thai Premier League, a whopping 25
points behind champions Buriram PEA. The gap is so large I needed a calculator to work it out. Of
course they were never gonna make it three TPLs in three years, not once Buriram PEA decided they
wanted to win it this year.
Hot on the heels of Liverpool legend Jan Molby claiming Andy Carrol would never make it Anfield,
former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has argued that the former Newcastle man is a 'waste of
money'. In his weekly column for The People, Collymore - who formed a lethal partnership with
Robbie Fowler between 1995 and 1997 - expressed some sympathy for the struggling striker, but
ultimately
Wigan Athletic 0-0 Liverpool | Premier League match report
Liverpool intensified their fight with the Football Association at the DW Stadium but the more
immediate target escaped unharmed. While Kenny Dalglish and his players rallied around Luis Suárez
in the wake of his eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra, potentially landing
themselves in further trouble with the authorities in the process, they missed the chance to draw
level with Chelsea as Wigan Athletic became the latest beneficiaries of their profligacy.
In many ways they were the team that propelled Thai football into the national consciousness.
Chonburi maybe were the first to develop a local identity, to build a team that people could
recognize as being their very own after an era when club sides like BEC Tero Sasana and Thai
Farmers; Bank may have won kudos overseas for their Asian Cup exploits but struggled locally to
make much of an impact.
Aston Villa v Liverpool – as it happened
Liverpool scored from two early corners and strolled to victory against a poor, pretty much
attack-free Aston Villa side Preamble: Aston Villa must carry particularly good memories for
Liverpool fans. I'm not even a Liverpool fan, but I can remember half a dozen stonking moments
between these two clubs.

Indonesia Super League
Persiba v Persela 0-0
Indonesia Premier League
Arema v PSMS 2-1 (Noh Alam Shah, TA Mushafri; Julio Cesaer Alscorse) 13,000
Officials boasting that 13,000 fans attended this game but last year there would likely have been
double that crowd. The Arema team in the IPL is the same as the team that competed in the ISL last
year, they just have different, more IPL-friendly, owners than the other ISL Arema.
Muang Thong United, back to back TPL champions, managed to let slip a two goal lead at the weekend,
seeing Khon Kaen net twice at the death to earn a late point.
The Muang Thong owner is less than impressed and called his team a 'disgrace'.
In honour of the Bangkok Post's football writer I'm writing this entire post in single sentence

England's chances at Euro 2012 have been given a boost after UEFA decided to suspended the third
game of the striker's three match ban following his sending off against Montenegro in October.
It now means that the England striker can play in his country's final group stage game against
Ukraine, though he will definitely miss the first two games against France and Sweden.
