Chasing The Big Leagues Southampton and the challengers (English Championship) is a post from: Just Football

Tales from Tier Two is a series on Just Football in partnership with @tiertwofooty, in which we assess the promotion chances of the clubs in tier two of Europe's major leagues at the midway point of 2011/12.

Stevenage are on the road again this weekend as they make a trip up to Glanford Park to face Alan Knill's Scunthorpe United. Boro are still managerless after Graham Westley's departure last Friday, but they will be confident going into the game after a run of 10 away games in all competitions without defeat.

Sorry.

Those are the toilets area in which one is supposed to dispose of bodily waste of Ebbsfleet United, the club which became famous as part of that fan-ownership experiment some years back, leading to the theory that the common man doesn't care much about the loo. They're taking part in and currently leading a competition to find the worst restrooms in English football, the "winner" of which will get £100k in order to spruce up the facilities with a nice TOTO setup, one would imagine.

This weekend's non-league videos of the week come from the Blue Square Premier and the Second Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. In the Blue Square Premier, AFC Telford United have reacted positively to their promotion from the Blue Square North at the end of last season and sit in mid-table in the division at present and they were at home against Hayes & Yeading United, who were the beneficiaries of Kettering Town's generosity and subsequent implosion on Tuesday night.

Scunthorpe United have extended the loan stay of Ireland U21 international Shane Duffy.
The Derry born centre-half has impressed during his month at Glanford Park and the Iron were keen to extend the deal.
Saturday's 2-1 victory over Yeovil Town was the 19-year-old's fourth appearance for United and Scunthorpe boss alan Knill has persuaded Premier League side Everton to allow him to remain on a month by month basis.

Celtic forward Gary Hooper has admitted that last year's shocking early elimination from both the UEFA Champions League and Europa League qualification has left him seeking vengeance.

Hooper, who scored his first goal for the Hoops over the course of the 4-2 aggregate defeat to Portuguese outfit Braga in the club's first Champions League qualifier, went on to see his teammates lose out to Utrecht in a Europa League qualifier while sidelined with an injury.

As I'm sure everyone is well aware the Premier League is jam packed with foreigners from all corners of the globe. This practice has filtered down to the lower leagues, so I thought I'd begin a series on foreign XIs in the Football League with this one on "Scandanavian" players in the Championship.

Now can you dig that!?

If there's one club with all the luck in the world, its Manchester United. If there's one club with all the refs, etc (ie FA, Uefa) on its side, its Manchester United. If there's one club all Gooners love to hate, its Manchester United. Here are few jokes compiled from all over the internet, hope you like'em!

Diomansy Kamara started and played 70 minutes in Leicester City's 3-1 loss at Reading.

Kagisho Dikgacoi started, played 45 minutes, and received a yellow card in Crystal Palace's 2-1 loss to Scunthorpe United.

Eddie Johnson started and played 71 minutes in Preston North End's 3-1 win over Sheffield United.

Do forgive me for starting with Scunthorpe United this week. Their 4-1 win at home to Queens Park Rangers in the English Championship was a result that demonstrates the wonder of football. Scunthorpe started the game at the foot of the table, QPR at the top. The former had won the fewest home points all season (16) whilst QPR had won the most points away (32).

Daniel Pacheco enjoyed a debut to remember as he helped Norwich City to a 6-0 thumping of Scunthorpe United on Saturday.
The Spanish starlet delighted the crowd playing in his favoured role just behind the striker, and featured for 71 minutes.
Pacheco was a constant threat throughout and set up the opening two goals.

There are, perhaps, two debates that should be had when it comes to the issue of the reintroduction of safe standing (or, for those of us of a certain persuasion, terracing). Firstly, there is the question of whether the choice of whether to stand or not should be a matter for law or not, and secondly whether it will make the slightest bit of difference to the game in this country.

Gems of the Lower Leagues: Jack Cork is a post from: Just Football

by Theo Fan

21 year old Jack Cork, son of former Wimbledon player and current Sheffield United assistant manager Alan Cork, is currently enjoying the best form of his early career. Under the new and more creative style of Burnley manager Eddie Howe the young midfielder is being looked to to provide his skills and work rate in midfield with a regularity that highlights just how much his exciting brand of midfield play brings to the table.

Kevin Keegan believes the legendary Bill Shankly would be delighted to see Kenny Dalglish back at the Liverpool helm.
Keegan was signed by Shankly from Scunthorpe United in 1971 before being replaced as our No.7 by Dalglish following a move to Hamburg six years later.
Few are better placed, then, to comment on what Shankly would make of The King's return.

Scunthorpe United: Oasis of patience in a world of short-termism is a post from: Just Football

If the January transfer window has proved nothing else, it is that money continues to rule the roost in football. With chairmen across the land quick to hire expensive talent and fire under-performing managers, James McMath examines why Scunthorpe United's policy of patience is not only admirable, but has helped guarantee the club a future.

Jonathan Spector's time at West Ham United may be numbered, but the U.S. national team defender is doing his best to make sure he leaves with a bang.

After a crowded holiday period of league action in the EPL, the FA Cup is back with Liverpool taking on Manchester United in the weekend's must-see fixture. Manchester United is looking to improve upon last year's Cup run where it was knocked out by Leeds United in the third round.

The FA Cup is on schedule in England this weekend, while Mexico kicks off the 2011 Clausura season. Saturday Third round of the FA Cup on Fox Soccer Plus: Arsenal - Leeds United at 7:30am and Tim Howard's Everton are away to Championship club Scunthorpe United at the 9000-seat Glanford Park.

Happy New Year, fans Scunthorpe have proved why they are the only football club you are likely to get moderated for mentioning in a blog comments section.
