In case you missed the goal of the World Cup playoffs. Here it is. Antar Yahia's screamer in Sudan.
Relive the goal. Relive the celebrations. Be in no doubt: This is for 1982. This is for the players with the peppery hair and tears in their eyes. This is for the players who were robbed.

10.The Gallagher Brothers (Man City)

We all know they are city through and through.

Having just discovered that Barack Obama is no longer a fan of West Ham from the Mail (don't worry I read it to take the piss) and is now a fan of Al Wasl's (maybe to align himself with dealers of Oil, yes ITS is getting political), I thought I would do an A-Listers top 10 this week. Enjoy!

Theirry Henry and Allen Iverson, now sadly carrying on his basketball career with the Memphis Grizzlies, were brought together in Barcelona by their shared sponsor Reebok for...I don't know some kind of cross-promotional brand synergy thing (or maybe corporate hypnosis and introduction to cannibalism?

It never sounded particularly true that Theirry Henry would have helped out the gruesome 'Arry Redknapp by advising him to sign Patrick Vieira, and indeed so much is Tel's love for Arsenal that he has felt the need to come out and openly declare that he would never help Tottenham in any way. Very well done that man:"I am Arsenal through and through. Click to continue reading...

Betting.betfair.com's Gareth Freeman guest-blogs for Barcelista!
Yaya Toure's agent claimed a week or so ago that Barca didn't ‘respect' the Ivory Coast man and he was considering offers from elsewhere. Granted this wouldn't have been the biggest disaster that could have affected Camp Nou this summer but it certainly wouldn't have been a welcome departure. Click to continue reading...

With AC Milan playmaker Kaka looking set to leave the San Siro in the coming days for upwards of £50 million, there is no doubt the Italian giants will look to spend some of that on replacing their best player.
One man who is attracting interest from Milan is Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. Click to continue reading...

So the day we've been waiting for is nearly here, and the activity on this blog would indicate that both Wayne and myself are well up for it. Manchester United vs. Barcelona in what will no doubt be an historic event. I'm sure there will be a lot more to come, but for now, take a quick 1-2 hour break from whatever you're doing and enjoy well over 2,500 words about the Champions League Final.

Manchester United's defensive stalwart Nemanja Vidic has promised attacking football from his side for the Champions League final in Rome – and these are the words we all wanted to hear.

There had been fears United would line up and try and kill off the Barca attack rather than take the game to the Catalan side, as Chelsea did in the semi final, but Vidic has quashed that notion and promised attacking football from the English side.

There was always something fishy about Man City's pursuit of Ronaldinho. It didn't feel quite right, I think for two reasons: 1) He was never really going to join, and 2) The plan to sign him up seemed to be based on his big name status, rather than what he was capable of offering Citeh [...] Click to continue reading...

Barcelona met Mexican giants Chivas at Soldier Field in Chicago on Sunday and the result was a somewhat low key enjoyable 5-2 goalfest which Barca won comfortably. They got goals from new players (Alexander Hleb), old vets (Xavi), players slated for departure (Eto'o with 2), attacking players (Pedro) and defenders (Jose Caceres). Click to continue reading...

Marc Stein waxes worshipfully about his charity game experience with Steve Nash, Theirry Henry, etc.
I had to laugh at his description of Kalou, because when I met him at the Beverly Hills Hotel for is official intro as a Chelsea player, that's how he seemed to me. Just a shy teenager, albeit one making millions of dollars. Click to continue reading...

I read a story in which Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor said that he will play like Theirry Henry when he is paid like Thierry Henry. Now to me, this seems like an intentional arrogant statement, in order to either get a pay raise, or get an easy transfer. Adebayor's current salary is 30,00 euro a week, and he wants that salary raised to 120,000 euro a week, a 400 percent pay raise. Click to continue reading...

Angel didn't play - he just made an appearance. Also, not to tell my ESPN editor what to title his own posts, but it looks like according to Theirry Henry, it should be called, "Jason Kidd can ball?" Yeah, and where's blogMaverick covering the things that really matter? Click to continue reading...

Arsenal midfield star Alexender Hleb has once again reiterated that the current squad is much better off with French star Thierry Henry. Earlier in the season, the Belarusian international medio made a sensational claim that Henry was actually inhibiting the Gunners team from developing and becoming a true team.
