Diver & Aguilar are a photography agency based in London who, amongst other things, spend a fair
bit of time producing ultra-classy, hi-res imagery of the Barcelona squad from year to year. This
year's batch sees the current Barca squad sumptuously recreated in vintage 'cigarette card' form,
and we like.
Apologies for staying AWOL for a ridiculous amount of time. Even the most vicious, heinous,
scouse-blood sucking vampire of a Manc would have taken note of my situation and cut me some slack.
But then again this whole review thing smells like the Manc's idea. Doing a season review is bad
enough, and doing it in a series of posts makes me feel like some Lord Masoch at his fiendish
best.
It's hard to imagine really but these days Alexandre Song has become one of the first names on the
Arsenal team sheet.
Go back to your thoughts this time last year (Would be so much easier with one of those Star Trek
or Doctor Who things) on Song. Would you be bothered that he would be going to the African Cup of
Nations in 2010?
It's that time again, time for a podcast! A Sounders podcast! About Seattle Sounders FC! And
this one has Steve Zakuani!
I'll be honest, the audio quality on this one is spotty. Jeremiah and I recorded in the same
room and while I think it made things slightly more entertaining it also created some challlenges
that we were not necessarily anticipating.
Tonight sees the old bear starting off as the warm up act but GB following quickly up the rear.
Turns out, whilst we're trolling through our newish media system this evening, on a channel called
CBS Action, old re-runs of Star Trek are being run. GB to my (very recent) knowledge, is (it seems)
a huge fan.
The U-17 meninos will take on Argentina later tonight... and the tension is mounting! Even coach
Lucho Nizza had to take the boys for an innocent night out (yes futbolitas, please
control yourselves) to calm their nerves.
"I took the kids to the circus here in the city to calm the environment and alleviate
the tension.
It is an association based on a single entity structure, which constantly looks to expand its
territory. It has its own array of heroes, villains, and legends, as well as its fair share of
critics.
I am, of course, talking about Starfleet, the intergalactic deep-space exploratory and military
service which constitutes most of the plot of the Star Trek franchise.
Hola Miami Fans, and especially all the hot mamacitas out there! Burrito here reportings all things
Miami FC to the worlds. (Click on highlighted words if you don't know the meaning of the word)
Today Burritos report is brought to you by Star Trek ! (Not really) But the new movie is coming out
this Fridays so go see it with your carnales or a hot chula con chasis aerodynamico!

Perrotta is a World Cup-winning Italian midfielder who was born in
Ashton-under-Lyne, of all places. He currently plays for AS Roma.
Quinto is a hipster actor, most famous for his ridiculous eyebrows. Oh, and
roles as Sylar (the arch villain in TV series 'Heroes') and Spock (in the franchise reboot of 'Star
Trek').
The Pick: Oliver Kahn is not the same guy who wronged Captain Kirk on Star
Trek (I believe that was "Khan"), but he was a dominating goalkeeper who exposed manyÂ
opponents to his wrath over a long successful career.
England legends from yesteryear star in a new World Cup TV commercial. Players such as Peter
Shilton, Martin Peters, Stuart Pearce and Viv Anderson are featured and describe what it feels like
to represent your national team on the world stage. The legends also describe putting the jersey
on, the sound of the fans and what it felt like to have their country cheering them on.
Yeah, you read that right. Both Mehdi Ballouchy and Pablo Mastroeni scored for the Rapids on
Saturday. No, you haven't entered the alternate Star Trek universe with evil Spock (too
geeky?).
Saturday night in Foxboro the Rapids played their best game of the season, and probably one of
their top 5 games in the last couple of seasons.
In the competitive world of the Wagabee, the tiniest margin can be the difference between
success and abject failure.
A key plan of attack is identification of target before anyone else. This means the ability to
see through any potential physical flaws of a player to the scrumptious loveliness that may lie
underneath.

Shockingly, I felt guilty for not posting something up yesterday because we've been
keeping this so active lately. But I went to see Star Trek last night (it's fucking unbelievable,
and I usually hate sci-fi) and had no time to do anything. Alas, today is another day and a time
for rebirth and blogging.
Yesterday was a curious day, nothing of any consequence happened at all. It's rare we go through
a day without a single story on Arseblog News but if there's nothing there then there's nothing
there, and so it was.
The closest we came was Sky Sports 'understanding' that Santi Cazorla would fly in to London for
a medical.
Zach posted earlier today about the official unveiling of the Houston Dynamo third kit below,
including a link to the story on HoustonDynamo.com. (Full story here.) But over on the team's
Facebook page, they posted several more views of the new kit, which I have included after this
nifty little video and the jump below.
This season started so brightly with this Bolton side surprising everyone with beautiful play in
the midfield and strikers that could actually score. Not so much anymore with the Wanderers
claiming just 6 points of their possible last 18 and recording 4 straight losses. There's lots to
be analyzed about this campaign but that will be left for another day and another series of blog
posts.
Zed Zed Top. Two better legs than TFC v Edmonton
Second legs don't happen a whole lot when you play without a single table. Okay, The NutCan and
the MLS format have nothing to do with each other but furniture puns are so rare in football blogs.
Sue me IKEA. Despite such houseware platitudes, Toronto FC indeed found itself in The NutCan
Semi-Final 2nd Leg tonight at BMO Field, a week after dispatching their opponents FC "We Heart
Tories" Edmonton 3-0 in the 1st Leg.
These moments aren't in any order but a logo of how they enhanced the attractive game.
1. Togo's players celebrating their first aim in the world cup towards South Korea in their
opening match. No one can guess that they don't seem to be being paid for playing on the planet
cup.
2. Philip Lahm excellent goal against Costa Rica within the 6th minute led strategy to a high
scoring World Cup.
I couldn't resist the geeky Star Trek reference, I'm afraid! As the Reds travelled to East Anglia I
was confined to my laptop with an illicit but good quality stream of the match, which is always a
bonus when you can't make the trip in person. A team selection out of left-field from Billy
delivered the goods as Forest battled out a perhaps at least marginally fortunate win [.
49 days and counting until the decision on World Cups 2018 & 2022 is made, so the bid nations
are releasing their details in a huff.
Well, Qatar and Japan are, anyway. They're waging battle for a futuristic, mind-numbingly
expensive Asian cup while the rest of the world sort of sits back and watches.
Robben: "And I've got the special Star Trek version, which can beat me up, Scotty... Beat me up?
No..."
A lot of people want to know: what is the secret? How is it possible that Holland doesn't have
an implosion. That they aren't collapsing in beauty. Well the answer is....a bracelet!
Good morning, it's fairly quiet this morning but consider it the calm before the storm. Arsene
will meet the press today ahead of tomorrow's trip to Villa Park and we should get a good idea of
what sort of team we'll be putting out.
Hopefully there won't be any new injuries and there is the possibility of getting one or two
players back.
This is Frank Lampard's ex, Elen Rivas (who has apparently changed her name
from Rives go figure), showing off a crazy new bra from the future. It's what I imagine Star Trek's
Lt. Uhura might wear. Ahem.
Diamond Boutique's 'Limitless Bra' and has been described as "the most innovative lingerie
ever".
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.
