Referee Mark Clattenburg suffered an embarrassing moment during yesterday's encounter between Reading and Liverpool when he realised he had forgotten his cards. Clattenburg forgot to bring his notepad and yellow and red cards out for the second-half of the match. He only realised he had left the items in his dressing room when he attempted [.
Gol de Torres 0-2 (Monterrey vs Chelsea)... by fccaptura It looks like Chelsea might have unearthed a goalscoring sensation. The once misfiring Fernando Torres has continued his current streak with another goal. The Spaniard found the net 16seconds into the second-half of the Blues' World Club Cup semi-final against Monterrey.
The fallout from the racism that overshadowed England U21′s victory in Serbia this week continues after the Serbian FA released an inflammatory video on their official YouTube account. The video is entitled: "Danny Rose is lying to whom?" It's accompanied by a lengthy spiel, which digs further into the Serbian position that there was no [.
The USA celebrated a historical win over Mexico beating them for the first time in Mexico about
three weeks ago. Today, it was the Reggae Boyz recording their first win ever against the USA in
nineteen meetings as they took advantage of a midfield without Michael Bradley and his potential
link up with the men on top.
Badford are heading to Wembley and there's not an egg-shaped ball in sight. The League Two side beat Aston Villa 3-4 on aggregate after a 2-1 defeat at Villa Park last night. Paul Lambert's side crashed out in humiliating circumstances, losing to a side three divisions below them over two legs. Christian Benteke gave [.
Given that Dimitar Berbatov traditionally pirouettes around the pitch like he's auditioning for Swan Lake, it's easy to jump to the assumption that a broken rib would see him off the pitch quicker than you can say 'Fergie should have played him more'. Slapped wrists for us and many others, for Dimi has proved himself [.
1) If we insist - rightly - on giving new signings a chance, then it's pretty inconsistent to jump
to extensive conclusions too quickly. Have Arsenal looked better defensively in the first three
games of the season? Yeah, absolutely.
But to argue that this mean we now have the best defence in the League is not so much over-egging
the point as scrambling it (if you'll forgive the terrible metaphor).
Manchester United forward Robin van Persie believes that the introduction of Paul Scholes and
not his hat-trick was the main reason why the Red Devils came from behind to beat Southampton 3-2
yesterday.
Van Persie scored United's first equalizer minutes following Rickie Lambert's early opening goal
and even after Morgan Schneiderlin restored the Saints' advantage, the Dutchman added two late
goals to secure all three points for Sir Alex Ferguson's men.
I took a kind of day off from Arsenal yesterday. After the intensity of deadline day and all the
action we had to cope with, on top of August's mentalness in general, it was quite nice to just not
involve myself at all.
However, it's right back into it today as we face the Mugsmashers at Anfield in a game which
could lift the mood considerably or tip some folk over the edge entirely.

It took Manchester City just 15 minutes to break the deadlock through Yaya Toure but it wasn't
till injury time that City secured all three points. Bobby Zamora got an equaliser midway through
the second-half but that was shortlived as Eden Dzeko put City back in front 3 minutes later before
Carlos Tevez secured the points deep into injury-time.

Moussa Dembele came of the bench in the second-half to put Tottenham 1-0 up on his debut only
for Robert Snodgrass to grab a deserved equaliser 5 minutes before time. Spur's substitute Tom
Huddlestone was given his marching orders late on as new Spurs manager AVB still looks for that all
important first win.
Kevin Nolan gave the Hammer's the best possible start scoring after just a minute before Winston
Reid and Matt Taylor added two more goals before half-time to end any hopes of a Fulham comeback.
Andy Carroll made an impressive debut at Upton Park before an injured hamstring ended his game time
midway through the second-half.
It all got a bit nervy yesterday at Stamford Bridge when it looked like Chelsea could be on the verge of throwing away a second 2-0 lead in less than a week. As if Rafa Benitez wasn't already feeling the pressure he had the ghost of Roberto Di Matteo breathing down his neck during the [...]
Zenit St Petersburg showed their intent to become a European power by dumping between €80-100
million on Hulk and Axel Witsel, but one player noticeably absent from their acquisition list as
the Russian transfer window draws to a close is Andrei Arshavin. Arsenal loaned the out of favor
31-year-old back to Zenit, the club they got him from in 2009, for the second half of last season
and a permanent deal seemed inevitable.
Allen performed well in midfield...
Image: mirror.co.ukLiverpool lined up against Arsenal on Sunday with their two front men Fabio
Borini and Luis Suarez, after the loaning out of Carroll on deadline day, these two men have the
weight of the world on their shoulders as they are Liverpool's front line until January and they
need to score goals.
I suspect many post-game analyses this morning will focus on the fact that Lukas Podolski and
Santi Cazorla got off the mark in English football. The two new signings scored the goals that won
us the three points, and both played very, very well, it has to be said.
SUPERFLY 3-0 WIGSTON UNITED Sunday 9th September 2012 Alliance Football League Division 3 Bosworth
Academy, Leicester Lane, Desford
With it being another glorious sunny day and the wife at work this morning, I took advantage of
this to take in another game in the Alliance Football League.
So last night was fun wasn't it? When I started writing this I thought the only thing I'd be
able to say was "and then that was awesome". So prepare yourselves. Everything below the jump is
going to a giant thing of positivity. Well almost everything. The negativity isn't even really that
bad.
In what promised to be the Eidur Gudjohnsen showcase, another player with European pedigree
entered the Seattle Sounders' roster picture. Romania international George Ogararu, 32, played
right fullback in the second half of Sunday's 4-2 Reserve League win over Chivas USA and apparently
could sign with the Sounders if all goes well.
Russia, England, Belgium, Ireland, Bosnia, Hungary, Netherlands, France, Germany, and Portugal

For a second straight month, Jurgen Klinsmann and the U.S. men's national team made history, but
this time the result was not one they wish to remember.
Weeks after beating Mexico for the first time at Azteca Stadium in a friendly, the United States
resumed their World Cup qualifying campaign by suffering a 2-1 loss to Jamaica at National Stadium
in Kingston, Jamaica on Friday night.
"I like the [Getafe] coach Luis Garcia. I like how organised his teams are and how he puts them
into practice. I admire his work." said Mourinho before the game. My wife and I have started to
teach our 15-month old son the nursery rhymes: "The wheels on the bus go.... Round and round
(3x).
The Philadelphia Union entered this game having not picked up a win in five games. The New
England Revolution entered this game having not picked up a win in nine games. It felt like
something had to give tonight in Foxboro. Only it didn't, and both teams' winless streak
continued.
In the first half, the Philadelphia Union played a strong possession game, and while they succeeded
in limiting New England Revolution to chances, the Union did little to generate chances
themselves.
Newcastle overcame a lackadaisical first half today when they went one goal down after 22 minutes,
but came back strongly in the second half and another simply magnificent Ben Arfa goal this time
with his right foot got the point for Newcastle but we pressed so much after the goal that the
lads were unlucky not to get all 3 [.
One of the surprises of the season so far is the way Newcastle have been without a cutting edge up
front, and we've had both Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse in the side. Papiss Cisse rifling the ball home
in second half against Villa in February But the only real threat was when Demba Ba [...]
There is not much that couldn't be said about the amazing turnaround by Arsenal at Reading last night when they came back from 4-0 down to win the game. Okay Wenger played a team of mostly reserves, but the first half was a total disaster for the Gunners.
Wenger said after the game: "We went from disaster to, I must say at least at some stage, pride because we at least came back in the second half with a decent performance.
Liverpool narrowly lost out to Udinese in their Europa League group-stage after second half goals from Antonio Di Natale, own goal by Sebastian Coates and a classy strike from Giovanni Pasquale put the visitors well ahead.
Liverpool lead before halftime after a well-worked Jonjo Shelvey goal, but the Italian side leveled straight after the interval.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – No. 8 North Carolina scored an early second-half goal and then withstood constant pressure throughout the second half from the Virginia men's soccer team in posting a 1-0 win over the Cavaliers Friday evening at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. The tightly-contested match was the NSCAA's National Game of the Week on FOX Soccer Channel.
The University of Mary Washington women's soccer team used three goals and three assists from
freshmen in a 3-0 win over Guilford College on Sunday at the Battleground. The Eagles improve to
4-0 on the season.
The Eagles opened the scoring at 19:18, when freshman Michelle Gibbons scored on a Sydney Cook
assist.
Kei Kamara and Sierra Leone will have a tall task ahead of them when they travel to Tunisia for the
second leg of their African Cup of Nations qualifying series. Today in Sierra Leone, the Leone
Stars drew 2-2 with Tunisia. That means that Sierra Leone will now need to win on the road in
Tunisia or draw 3-3 or greater to advance automatically.
Ok people I will be honest, I never actually got to see the game as I am in Suffolk this weekend
for a wedding. I had admitted defeat and had set my SKY+ to record it, hope to catch some
highlights this morning and write a quick post about the goals etc.
To my delight after we all had been out for a per wedding dinner, it was agreed to get to a pub
down the road to watch the second half.
Spurs head coach Andre Villas-Boas was honest about the side's performance as we conceded
another late goal for a second successive 1-1 home draw. After a busy week of transfer activity,
new signing Moussa Dembele grabbed the lead on 68 minutes before a Robert Snodgrass effort ensured
that the points were shared.
After a disappointing summer transfer window for the Serie A, looking around at the possible
contenders for the scudetto, it's evident that this season's race will have a few surprises in
store. Teams like AC Milan, have lost many key players and weren't able to replace them properly,
and others like Juventus and Inter just weren't able to clinch that world class player signing
which could've helped set them definitively above the rest.
Two days after having its three-game winning streak snapped, the University of Wisconsin women's
soccer team ended another team's winning run Sunday afternoon.
Freshman midfielders McKenna Meuer (Madison Memorial) and Kinley
McNicoll each had a goal and an assist as the No.

It's been an odd week or so at the corner of 71st and Harlem Avenue in Bridgeview, Illinois.
Marco Pappa is out. The Fire decided to take the transfer fee from Dutch club SC Heerenveen instead
of keeping his MLS rights. There were rumors swirling about that this was because they were
interested in Carlos Bocanegra, which you know by now signed with Racing in the Liga Adelante; the
Spanish second division.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. New England Revolution forward Saer Sene became the first player for the Revs
to score double-digit goals in one season on Wednesday evening in a 3-3 draw with Chivas USA. Sene
scored two goals in the game and looked a threat before pulling up in the second half grabbing his
knee.
Mallorca and Málaga occupy the top two places in the Liga after earning slender 1-0 wins
against Real Sociedad and Real Zaragoza respectively. Their stay at the summit may not last long as
a host of teams, including Barcelona, play later in the weekend, but both are enjoying an unbeaten
start to the season.
