It's not a real day of the week without an entertaining Paolo Di Canio quote. The Sunderland manager is ready to wield the axe after getting fed up of the lack of discipline among his players. He said: "I don't care to have argument with my players but they have to go through the rules. [...]
That was some terrible defending. Kudos to Falcao but he was made to look sensational by a sleep
walking Athletic Bilbao side. One has to say, Falcao seems to be perfecting the art or science of
being at the right place and at the right time (see second goal) to take advantage of those errors
which is a form of genius.
Yes, a new day awaits us all. By now you are well aware of the latest development in the brief
but cracking existence of Chelsea Offside. In short, this space, in just a few hours, will be no
more. A redirect and a lovely archive at our new home, We Ain't Got No History will be all that's
left of this small slice of the web I called home for a good long time.
Mohamed Azmi Muslim made the match interesting when his 30 yard flyer beat Vito Mannone as the
defense went to sleep (eye roll, its Arsenal!) just before the end of the first half. By then the
Gunners had missed at least three good chances including one from Andre Dos Santos.
Arsene Wenger made a number of substitutions in the second half and late in the half, Nico
Yennaris charged down the right latching onto one of Alex Song's preternatural passes.
Again, sorry for the tardy, I did an NESN podcast appearance on the USMNT (which will go up today)
directly after the late game ended and then had to rush out. After getting back late, I was so
tired that I don't even remember going to sleep. Goofball. Croatia 1 Italy 1 How does one say
"Oof!" in Italian?
Robin Van Persie finally scored after his 11th attempt (Six on target, 5 off). But so did Mario
Gomez, twice in fact. The German striker showed a wonderful touch, a sort of Bergkampesque
pirouette to score his first goal after receiving the ball from Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Schweini was on point again slipping in Gomez as the Dutch criminally went to sleep for
Germany's second goal.
Layla Anna-Lee completes the goal.com Euro 2012 WAGs XI. Oksana Andersson is the first luscious
other half to be introduced. She's a Russian-born Swedish model, a reality TV contestant and
married to Christian Wilhelmsson.
Next to make our line-up is Italian film actress Michela Quattrociocche, who's been dating
Liverpool and Italy's Alberto Aquilani.
If you like a flutter on football, then you'll know that one of the best bets placed is the one
just before you go to sleep, just so that as soon as you wake up in the morning you can log in to
your account and confirm that your bet lost because of one selection. [...]
Watched all the presidential debates. If I had to vote would vote Obama. Wayne Rooney (@WayneRooney) October 23, 2012 Wayne Rooney has previously admitted that he can only get to sleep at night when he's listening to droning noises. Previously he's used vacuum cleaners and hairdryers too send him off to the land of [.
Lucas Moura had agreed to sign for Manchester United before Paris Saint-Germain made a late bid,
according to his agent.
PSG confirmed this week that Lucas ad become the club's latest acquisition and would make the
switch from Sao Paulo in January, leading Sir Alex Ferguson to vent his frustration on
Wednesday.
Ahead of Manchester United's 2-0 victory over Blackburn, Roberto Mancini claimed that we would
draw the game. Micah Richards sat down to watch and with the score still at 0-0, he began to let
himself believe we might drop points.
"At half-time and at 60 minutes I thought, 'You never know'," he said.

If you found yourself wondering why in the hell would Sergio Ramos be tweeting links to the song
"Heaven" by Bryan Adams before going to bed last night, wonder no more. Take it away Google

"Ar har, har, har, har!"It's been too long since there's been news on Das Bizarre, and now,
here it is (late-breaking news breaking later): Inka Grings is hanging up her boots for the German
women's national football team, and Linda Bresonik has signed with the ladies side of Paris St.
Germain.
Kickettes, would you rather... A) Play puppet to Andres Iniesta the master for a day, or B) Sleep
soundly with your soft and cuddly Thomas Müller doll forever? We each currently own two life size

is in favour [.
SPANISH FOOTBALL mid-week action with Round 33 rolling with three games played tonight. The Round

scorers. Alexis FC BARCELONA defeated relatively easy GETAFE 4 - 0 & go to sleep tonight just 1

England international goalkeeper Richard Wright has quit Preston just a week after moving to
Deepdale, citing homesickness. The former Arsenal man needed just a few days in Lancashire to
decide that it was no Suffolk. He told Preston's website: "It might seem somewhat dramatic, but I
have only been away from my home in East [.
A Tribute to Jack Wilshere: by SV It is now 1 o'clock GMT and I have had to leave my work for
tomorrow in the aim to get some sleep. But, just as I was about to turn in, I saw something on
Twitter that made me write this article: concerning Jack Wilshere. I am [...]

of a vitally important international fixture has been useless.We didn't sleep through Spain vs.

A rather tragic story to come out of the Euros this summer, if arriving by way of China: an
exceedingly passionate fan has perished due to a multitude of reasons, including and especially the
exhaustion which results from 11 days without sleep. All a result of the timing of the Euros.
There really needs to exist some sort of movement, a support system to alter their thinking, for
those who refuse to watch games on tape delay.
I'm Ronaldo. Barry Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo's identical twin brother. Since everybody always
thinks I'm him, sometimes Cristiano lets me take his place and pretend to be him. You probably
think that sounds like fun, but it's not because everything always goes wrong for me. For example,
my leg falls asleep every time I use my iPhone and I think I'm developing an allergy to all
birds.
You can follow all of the action from tonight's friendly between Harrisburg City Islanders and
the Philadelphia Union with a live chat from HersheyPark hosted by PSP's Eli Pearlman-Storch. The
chat starts at 6:45pm.
Brian Carroll says of tonight's friendly, "I am not sure who we plan on playing and who they
plan on playing, but all I know is, no matter what, it's going to be a tough-fought game, both in
the friendly and when we play them in the Open Cup.
Spent Saturday sightseeing mainly around the old town in Warsaw. Here it is very much a case of
what you see is what you get, a point highlighted by a beggar outside the Central Station with a
sign "Money for Beer".
The exception to this may actually be the old town, with its cobbled streets and buildings
appearing to date from 1700.
It's been that kind of week for United. Starting with the win over QPR, deemed unfair thanks to
Young's gravity-tripping right till the otherwise comprehensive win over Villa still deemed unfair,
thanks to... oh. Well, that aside, it's also been generally unsatisfying for this time of the
season as a United fan.

Since Mario Balotelli joined Milan in January, he has combined with Stephan El Shaarawy and Mbaye Niang to form a youthful trident that has helped the Rossoneri to third in the Serie A table. The trio have formed a quick understanding between them that apparently extends to their shared inclination to sleep on the luggage racks in train cars.
Former D.C. United defender Bryan Namoff had his career end prematurely because of a concussion,
and he is reportedly taking legal action against the club for failing to act with the proper care
that could have prevented the ongoing medical issues he faces today.
Pique arrived in Puerto Rico looking crazy good alongside his Spanish national teammates on Monday.
As most of you will assume correctly we didn't feel like doing a scratch of work today. We had
planned on catching up on the beauty sleep we missed in July, but here we are. Shakira reportedly

In the absence of any match report or tweets every few seconds from saturday's FA Cup Final between
Kelantan and Sime Darby at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, here are the thoughts of Kelantan's coach Bojan
Hodak.
'Great atmosphere, 2 hours before game was almost full stadium, in this atmosphere we couldnt
lose
Today I read that Kelantan didnt play so well, problem is that everyone expect 3-0 4-0 but Sime
Darby played 8-1-1, after they conceded the goal they changed to 8-0-2.
Words which you rarely hear during a summer transfer saga because somebody always claims to
know. Even if they don't know, they know. The not knowing provides them with knowledge based simply
on the fact that they don't know. Ignorance is information.
So this morning you'll have people who know one thing about our captain and his plans.
There was a time when Arsenal's Theo Walcott couldn't brush his teeth without dislocating his
shoulder, but now he is a fearless Spartan warrior (who also writes children's books) and it seems
to be benefiting his game. He's made 30 Premier League starts for Arsenal this season (his previous
high was last seasons' 19) and he says he is now a totally different Theo Walcott.
