Ok. ... Getting sleepy in the press conference. This isn't good. ... Maybe if I just cross my arms and tilt my head back, no one will know I'm slowly losing consciousness. ... Yeah. I think this is working. I look perfectly normal like this. ... Oh no.

Well, it had to happen, didn't it? The Interlull had been so dull and tedious the only thing that could spark a bit of life into it was an injury to one of our players. It certainly wasn't going to be the football as anyone who sat through the Sunday park football shitstravaganza that was Ireland v France last night will tell you.

While Chelsea were cleaning up on the field, David was, too in the stands.

In what surely has to be considered one of the great moments in Stamford Bridge history, if not footballing history, the man we all now know broke out the ol' toothbrusher for a quick cleanse in the final minutes of Sunday's 1-0 home win over Manchester United.

His name is David. He always brushes his teeth before he goes anywhere. Yesterday, he didn't have time. He called the radio to share his side of the story.

This is one of the most bizarre things you can expect to see at a professional football match. With Chelsea leading 1-0 against Manchester United, Salomon Kalou was getting ready to come on for Didier Drogba in the 83rd minute of the game.

Blues dent United title hopes by inflicting disappointing floss Don't you hate it when you arrive at the football and remember you haven't brushed your teeth? No? Never experienced that.

Matthaus last minute rejection of the Racing Santander job has the club gnashing their teeth. He was supposed to have arrived today to take over the coaching job and help out the beleaguered club but he texted the club saying the deal was off.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! Â Salt Lake won yesterday to put themselves in the MLS Playoffs and now only New England is playing for their life when they suit up today. Â They win and they're in. Â They lose and Colorado squeaks in by the skin of their teeth.

International week. For clubs and supporters alike, an opportunity to sit back and reflect (cliche alert - why? Why can't we do star jumps and reflect?) on the first three months of the season and consider the tribulations which might lie ahead. In the lack of any grand theme to get our teeth into, this column is getting in on the act: this week, a scattergun approach to North East football. Click to continue reading...

By all accounts, including our own, the 3-1 over Plymouth was a bit of a struggle. This is what Hughton had to say after the game: "There were periods of the game where we made hard work of it.
