A pair of heated English derby match-ups headline today's action, and both will have added subplots that will only make things more intense.

Manchester United and Liverpool clash in their first meeting since the controversial match where Luis Suarez allegedly used racial slurs against Patrice Evra; while London rivals Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers meet for the first time since John Terry allegedly used a racial slur against Anton Ferdinand.

Manchester City's U18s whupped their Swindon Town counterparts 4-1 in the FA Youth Cup last night, with the game playing host to a trio of excellent (for one reason or another) goals.

After going two-nil up early on, City's third goal started the ball rolling when a 25-pass tippy-tappy (it's the English version of tiki-taka, i.

Of these teams it was League One play-off finalists Huddersfield Town that ended the year with the best record. It was only everyone's favourite franchise MK Dons that won the same number of games during 2011.

Oh fuck me. The FA Cup is back.

Now, I'm not one of those EPL-centric, footballing-history-started-in-1992 type people. I just hate the FA Cup. I hate how misused the FA Cup is in terms of broadcasting (both online and televised).

Last March I wrote a post about how College Basketball's March Madness is presented in America.

After Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio's recent proclamation that he wanted "a team of 100 Paolo Di Canios", experts in cloning and eugenics have been brought into the fold at the Wiltshire club to try to make his dream a reality.

Interim Chairman Jeremy Wray is believed to have personally ordered the groundsmen from their shed, and set about creating a temporary science laboratory there instead.

Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio shows he's still as feisty as ever after his teams 3-1 defeat against Southampton last week in the Carling Cup by fighting with his own striker Leon Clarke following the final whistle.

By Chris Wright

Amazing, really, that it's taken this long, but Swindon manager Paolo Di Canio managed to come to blows with one of his own players in the tunnel at the County Ground after last night's 3-1 Carling Cup defeat to Southampton.

According to the Beeb, Swindon striker Leon Clarke got himself embroiled in a 'heated debate' with fitness coach after the final whistle when Di Canio intervened and attempted to shepherd Clarke down the tunnel by tugging his shirt a move that didn't go down too well.
