Fulham's Riverside Stand as it...well, stands

The designs for Fulham's prospective Riverside Stand expansion have been circulated ahead of the club's application for planning permission being submitted.

Fulham are planning to build over the existing stand, removing pillars to improve the views from the lower tier, improve Craven Cottage's facilities with a swanky new concourse area and, perhaps most importantly, increase the ground's capacity by just over 4,000 up to that magic 30,000 mark.

Poor Steve Bruce is a victim of geography

Football management is a bit like ancient Rome. Once the mob turn against you, then it's only a matter of time before some little Caesar in the boardroom gives you the down turned thumb. Steve Bruce didn't stand a chance when he took over at Sunderland because he's a Geordie.

If Robin van Persie doesn't sign a new contract at Arsenal in the next few months, the rumours that he is leaving will be off the Richter Scale.
Any theory that made Dinosaurs extinct will have nothing on this.
Robin's reluctance to agree to a new deal is apparently linked to what Arsene Wenger does in the January transfer window.

Charlie Davies has never done a thing to me. I promise. I have absolutely nothing against the man, although I have said several times that he needs to grow up a bit and make more "adult" choices about some things. And, of course, I hope he's learned his lessons about diving. Naughty, naughty.

Of course, the man of the moment (or rather, week, for the Sevillistas) is Alberto Negredo! And it looks like tipo is expecting a child of his own too, with that celebratory thumb-sucking gesture after scoring both goals in their 2-1 win over Malaga last night.

This thumb-sucking schmo here is Bournemouth striker Danny Ings, a young'n who's been piquing the interest of a sizeable clutch of the Football League's bigger names over the past year or so none more so than Crystal Palace, who lodged three separate bids for the 19-year old over the course of a 90-minute friendly at the weekend.

Just because it caused my irregular heart beat with the tempo of the match swing up and down.
It was definitely a sign of relief to see the referee blew the final whistle to signal the end of the match amid a tense atmosphere at the 80,000 Bukit Jalil Stadium.

We have several recently turned 20 year-olds from our first ever boys team that have true professional-level quality. Years ago, I predicted with 100% certainty that one kid in particular would go all the way. I actually have standing bets with people on this (most notable are $500 on one, and a lobster dinner every month for a whole year with another).

OK, just one more time, then I promise to leave it alone.

If you cover soccer regularly, you have a right to use the word "choke" when you consider the U.S. women's performance in Sunday's final. I disagree. I think it's fair to talk about blowing a lead and the factors behind it. And I think it's fair to dissect some of the choices made on penalty kicks, by Pia Sundhage and by the players.

So Murdoch sends Rebekah Brooks to tell all those staff they have lost their jobs, she marched in flanked by security staff and then marched out.

Her job is safe though.

Murdoch et al must think we were born yesterday...the News of the World is gone but the urls for The Sunday Sun are already registered.

The video game, that is.

I'm not much of a gamer myself, but gosh, how could you not smile when watching a game of FIFA or the insane promotional material that comes around its release. Seriously, where else can you watch a kid from Ghana talk about playing around with Wayne Rooney, then watch Wayne Rooney talking about taking on Joleon Lescott after United beat City.

I visited my local library last week in pursuit of some books for my children. But while I was watching them thumb through the pages, I had a flashback. Shortly after I arrived in the United States in 1984, I remember visiting the main branch of the...

In our new roundtable series, I talk to some of our best team bloggers about the biggest matches of the week. Last time, it was Chelsea vs. Liverpool. Now, it's on to the big match this weekend in Serie A the Derby D'Italia between Juventus and Internazionale. I asked a few questions of our Juventus Offside and Inter Offside about Sunday's clash, and here's what they had to say.
