The interview won't come out till next Thursday, but leaked statements suggest that when asked which members of the club he's dissapointed in, Samu's reply was something like "Yes, I think if I'd pick two, I'd probably aim at Pep and Joan, but there are many more people who let me down, many more.

If Jay Spearing needed a lesson in the fickle nature of football fans, he certainly got it this week. Given the Lucas Leiva's continuing unpopularity, Spearing somehow became not only a viable alterative for the Brazilian but also a better player. A sort of 'he can't be any worse than him' attitude took over. Click to continue reading...

Leo Messi's getting to be quite the little model, isn't he? We don't know when he found the time to do this what with the insanely hectic football schedule right now, but here he is in a photo-shoot for LadyStork shoes, for the second time.

Today, the Wizards first teamers wrapped up the training session with a finishing drill led by Interim Head Coach Peter Vermes. The last one to finish a cross would have to do something embarrassing, so everyone put their game faces on. The last one to finish? It was Josh Wolff. Sources tell us that the balls played to our leading scorer might not have been as easy to finish as balls played to some of the other players, but you can never trust sources completely, can you?

It seems that David Beckham will do anything these days to be in an advertisement. I would have expected more underwear posters but this time it will be in a Star Trek outfit. Beckham and Noel Gallagher of Oasis were seen at a London photoshoot dressed as undisclosed Start Treck Characters.

It's still unknown what the commercial was for except that it will involve Beckham, Gallagher, Ian Brown, Snoop Dogg, Agyness Deyn and Daft Punk.

One of the first posts I ever made was about how official gear from the stores in the USA is just awful. There's not really any selection and it looks like the merch that is sent here are only the things that wouldn't sell in the UK. As excited as I am about piggy banks and slippers, I would really appreciate it if someone would throw us a t-shirt that looked cool.

We all know you get a yellow card for taking your shirt off but what's the rule on freeing your feet? Is there a precedent? And since there are two shoes do you get two cards?

The Tottenham team has pretty much been picking itself in the league since the opening game of season, but after some good performances from the fringe players at Doncaster on Wednesday, do any of them deserve to start at the Lane against Birmingham tomorrow?

It's a hard one for Harry Redknapp because on paper, Birmingham at home should be an easy 3 points.

Aloisio, a striker for Brazilian second division club Vasco da Gama, was making his debut as a starter on Tuesday when he nearly died as a result of chewing gum while playing. Seriously. And no, the Brazilian second division isn't a part of the Special Olympics.

Aloisio went up to challenge for a high ball, but instead butted heads with the opposing player in front of him while the ball went over both of them.

The 13th Law of Soccer deals with "free kicks". Now, to those of you youngsters out there, free kicks are not the equivalent of a ridonculous sale @ Rackroom Shoes. No, they refer to the kicks soccer players take after penalties.

Now, Law 13 only deals with direct and indirect kicks and leaves the 14th Law to cover PKs.

Yesterday Elle broke out this gray fitted number in New York City.

Well that was quick. Liverpool has come to an agreement with Roma for the transfer of Aquilani whose fee is rumored to be around £20 million. This is of course provided that he passes a medical on Thursday that will take a good look at the surgery on his ankle. Hopefully, all goes well and he can start meshing with his new club.
