World's worst room service Corinthians are keeping their biggest star (literally) under house
arrest in a bid to halt the seemingly unstoppable expansion of his waistline. Former Inter Milan
star Adriano is being kept under lock and key at a hotel after the club decided to show tough love
to their striker to help his [.
Adriano is both one of the most gifted strikers of his generation and one of the most
disappointing, ballooning to Ronaldo's late-career playing weight right smack in the middle of his
prime, among other, non-gravitational-field-related issues (drinking, partying, shooting people,
etc). Now at Corinthians and fresh off an Achilles injury and platter of Happy Meals, he's back in
trouble for being fat.
Corinthians have finally settled on what must be done to get melt away all the fat and the
craziness: lock him in a hotel and force feed him healthy foods.
It's been almost a full year since Adriano joined Corinthians after his three-year contract with
Roma was terminated seven months in.
After my piece in defence of Aaron Ramsey on Sunday, it seemed only fitting that whoscored.com
would publish this piece today, which looks at the Premier League's most creative players since
2007.
It divides the number of minutes played by the chances that a player created from open play,
producing a mixture of expected and surprising results.

The Chicago Fire are now a good two weeks into their first phase of preseason camp and have been
making all of the necessary adjustments as the start of the new 2012 campaign nears. Part of the
preseason activity, though, has included shooting down rumors of a superstar Designated Player
acquisition.
Venue: Ewood Park, Blackburn Date: 1st February 2012 Kick Off: 8.00pm Referee: Phil Dowd. Don't
know about you, but I'm getting sick of the sight of Blackburn Rovers! We've played them three
times already this season and of course they were never off the TV screens during the really
vicious fan protests against their manager [.
As we enter February, the shortest month of the year (let me be the first to remind you that
this year February has 29 days), Valencia's coaching staff must think this is some kind of sick
joke. 8 games in 29 days. It's been done before, of course. But not quite like this. To start the
month, Valencia host Barcelona at the Mestalla in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Fans of the New York Yankees have made Jim Hendry jokes for years. The longtime general manager
of the Chicago Cubs could never replicate the success of the Yankees. But now, the joke is on the
Yankees fans because the team has hired Hendry to be an assistant general manager.
According to reports, Hendry was given a multi-year contract and his job duties will mostly deal
with aiding Brian Cashman, the GM of the Yankees.

If Sebastien Le Toux makes an appearance at PPL Park this summer for his second MLS All-Star
Game, he won't be representing the home team. He'll be doing it as a member of the Vancouver
Whitecaps.
The Philadelphia Union officially announced that they have dealt Le Toux to the Whitecaps,
acquiring an undisclosed sum of allocation money in exchange for its leading scorer and 2010 MLS
All-Star.
The 4th round FA Cup tie vs Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday promises to be another classic to add
to the list of FA Cup classics previously played out down the years between the two most successful
clubs in English football. In thirteen previous ties, Manchester United have lost just three times
to Liverpool.
There's a report in the Daily Mirror that Newcastle are after Dutch international winger Eljero
Elia on loan. Dutch International winger Eljero Elia The 26 times capped Dutch International
only joined Juventus from Hamburg last summer, but has only played three times for the Italian
club. Italy doesn't seem to have suited the winger too much, and we suppose Newcastle [.
Former Liverpool striker David Johnson has questioned the club's tactical handling of 35m striker
Andy Carroll. Speaking to LFC TV, Johnson - who won the European Cup three times at Anfield -
argued that Liverpool had not done enough over the last year to intergrate Carroll effectively into
the team.

The MLS SuperDraft is a bit of crapshoot, almost no matter where you are picking. If you
happened to catch my article at SB Nation Soccer (link here), I tried to illustrate just how much
of a crapshoot the draft really is. The later you get in the draft, predictably, the more of a
crapshoot it becomes.
Clint Dempsey had the standout performance for National Teamers Abroad over the weekend, scoring
three times as Fulham advanced 4-0 over Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup. Playing at home, Dempsey
had Fulham's first goal eight minutes in, adding a second in the 61st and converting an 81st minute
penalty to finish off the hat-trick.
The Legend of Clint Dempsey continues to grow at Craven Cottage.
Just over a month removed from eclipsing Brian McBride's record 36 career goals scored by an
American in the English Premier League, the former Revolution midfielder pulled the trigger three
times in a 4-0 FA Cup tournament victory over Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
United's under 18s fell behind three times but each time pegged their opponents back to earn a
point and a few lessons against Bolton's under 18′s at Carrington this morning. In steadily
worsening conditions throughout the 90 minutes, United failed to get into their stride and dominate
possession like they had been doing in the [.
The Philadelphia Union has released its schedule for 2012. A downloadable file containing the
entire schedule can be found here. With the addition of the Montreal Impact to the Eastern
Conference this year, MLS has moved to a conference based schedule. Each team will play 34 games,
but instead of the balance schedule we enjoyed last year, we will be seeing the following:
Due to the higher number of clubs in the Eastern Conference, each club will play a total of 25
conference matches.
United are 3.5 shots to gain their revenge on City in this weekend's derby clash at the Etihad and
claim a place in the fourth fourth round of the FA Cup. Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be keen
to banish the memory of their meeting in the league earlier in the season at Old Trafford which saw
City register a 6-1 victory.
Liverpool play Manchester City three times over the next month, and the given the club's great
recent record against the top teams in the league, fans will be confident that Kenny Dalglish's
team can get results in all three games. Anfield legend Alan Hansen isn't so sure though, and he's
predicted that City will knock Liverpool out of the Carling Cup.
Kenny Dalglish delighted with Liverpool's three goals from few chances
• Manager applauds Steven Gerrard's form against Newcastle • Dalglish denies return of Luis
Suárez presents a dilemma Kenny Dalglish denied he will have a selection problem for Liverpool's
next game, against Manchester City on Tuesday, with Luis Suárez available again after suspension,
though he did concede it was ironic to score three times against Newcastle in a game where very few
chances were created.
Back in November, Major League Soccer revealed they are shifting back to an unbalanced schedule
for the 2012 season after using a balanced one for the past couple of years. Eastern Conference
clubs will play seven of their conference opponents three times each (21 total games) and the
remaining two conference opponents twice each (4 games).
It was all a bit of a rush. Fancy letting family stuff get in the way of football. What on earth
is happening to me? Anyone would think it's Christmas or something.
So when I switched on the TV it took me a moment to get my bearings. First thing top left hand
corner, read it three times just to make sure and remember to breathe.
Chelsea's £50million striker Fernando Torres has brushed off reports that the Blues could be
looking to cut their losses and sell him in January.
The Spain international has endured a torrid time at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Anfield in
January for a record-breaking fee, with goals and confidence in short supply.

West Ham are the latest club to be linked with a move for Crystal Palace's in-demand forward
Wilfried Zaha, who has also been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent weeks.
The teenage forward caught the attention last season when he burst into the Palace first team and
this season has once again proved his quality with a string of impressive performances.

Yes it's a goal from practically the half-way line and yes it demonstrates impressive vision and
technique from the goal-scorer. However, in this case, Ryan Jack's long-range goal for Abderdeen in
their 2-1 win against St Johnstone is a rather tame affair, all things considered.
I write shortly before 3pm, the afternoon after the launch of So Paddy Got Up at the Tollington.
My hands still tremble as I type. I've cleaned my teeth three times and had a tactical fry up yet
still the sour taste of Wild Turkey trips off my tongue. It really was a pleasure to see so many of
you and stop for a beer and a chat.
Winter is stupid. Why do we tolerate it? It's the John Terry of seasons. And I don't mean simply
because it tries to make everything white.
I had the alarm chill problem this morning. The alarm went off. I stuck my hand out for another
9 minutes of blissful snooze which made me feel the chill in the air which made me want to not get
up.
One of FIFA's 125 living legends of soccer passed away over the weekend to septic shock. He had
been hospitalized three times in the past few months.At 57yo, the former World Cup star, had made
63 appearances for Brazil, notching 25 goals in that span. After his playing days finished, he went
on to earn his MD, and spent time writing for the AP on social and political conditions as well as

Now that was the performance we wanted after a nervy week at Chelsea. We all knew that the next 9
days could define our season even at this early stage but we desperately needed a win. Newcastle
away, especially this season is always a difficult game as I said in
my match preview.
We got the win and I have to say, playing better than we have in recent weeks.
