Getting the band back together! I'm going to party like it's 2001-2002. I don't know what the hell I'm doing. It's been a crazy week, hasn't it? With all of the injuries... and the fact that the injuries were to the studs of the league... and the fact that we didn't know the extent of those injuries until, well today.

Something to read while you watch the madness at the Maracana... Israel halts construction of Palestinian stadium (BBC.co.uk) This FIFA conspiracy goes deeper than we though (Studs Up) Five football injustices (Shortlist) What happens when you fart in a referee's face? (Sports Rubbish) A lot of Top 10s for 2010 (Pies) Goal-line referees for World Cup 2010? Click to continue reading...

There are times in the life of the average non-league fan when he wonders if he is really and truly sane. I had such a moment Saturday as I watched Bath City defeat Chelmsford City 1-0. I was standing on the Bristol End terrace at Twerton Park in pelting rain and howling wind. I was cold and wet and tired. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie headed to Serbia earlier this week to get 'special' treatment for the torn ligaments in his ankle.

We didn't actually follow RVP all the way over, but our Eastern European correspondent (Croatian if you must ask) insists that this is exactly how Serbian witchdoctors administer placenta treatments to patients.

As part of our continuing partnership with the guys over at Soccer Pro, from time to time they send us products to test out and review. This month we received a pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor V cleats to try out, and after three matches of playing in them I must admit that I have only good things to say about them.

Now this is truly hilarious. It's the latest comical creation from Studs Up and it's a corker. It explains just how it came to pass that Frank Lampard was injured whilst away on international duty. CLICK HERE to see the very amusing sketch.

On Thursday, November 5, I was a panelist at Football Partnership's Tweet Blowing the Whistle on Social Media, a discussion about soccer and social media. The panelists also included Greg Lalas (Goal.com), Chris Schlosser (MLSnet.com) and Chris Toy (Studs-Up.com). For more about the panelists, check out the blog I posted the day after the event.

Darren Fletcher in particular. He was the hatchet man in Utd's win over Arsenal on August 29th and did quite a number on Cesc Fabregas.

Well, after the match Arsene Wenger talked at length about the anti-football display. He did not mention Fletcher's name but everyone can read between the lines.

First thing's first, I'm not sure Johnny Evans did this intentionally. So I don't want this post to be all about him. But there's no doubt that his studs connected with Didier Drogba's chest during Man Utd's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea yesterday, and there's no doubt that said connection caused a great deal of pain.

Morning All – I did a little bit of multi-tasking yesterday, using my vast experience and skill around the keyboard; I typed while watching our wonderful team put in a lunchtime shift at the Emirates!
Ok, I am fibbing, I just typed as I watched and corrected a huge amount of spelling mistakes afterwards, it took an age!

As usual an excellent topical sketch from our friends at Studs Up in relation to the will they/won't they issue of the England 2018 World Cup Bid. In all seriousness though, why has it taken so long for the country to successfully lobby FIFA to host the showpiece tournament of world football? By the time 2018 rolls around it would have been over 50 years since 66′!
