Richard and Ginge take to the airwaves to celebrate the greatness of Apoel Nicosia and the rise of a new titan in the Champions League...ok, maybe that's stretching it but they are having a fantastic run. We discuss results from the domestic leagues and the heart-wrenching story of Billy Sharp. CSRN MEDIA PLAYER

Chris Johnson is upset. Chris Johnson fantasy owners might be even more upset. The Tennessee Titans star running back is holding out for a new contract, and with the 2011 NFL season quickly approaching, it's looking less and less likely that he'll play in Week 1. That, understandably, has tension at high levels.

This titan's reign may soon be over at Stamford Bridge. Alex has told Italian television he is open to a move away from Chelsea.

I've sort of been resigned to Alex leaving the club for some time. He has been somewhat marginalized in recent seasons despite some herculean performances, all of which have been well documented around here.

Nach der Vermeidung des Super-GAU und einem verpatzten Bundesligastart mit zwei Niederlagen in Folge, kehrt bei den Bayern trotzdem keine Ruhe ein. Und nun meldet siuch auch noch der Torwart-Titan höchstpersönlich zu Wort. Oliver Kahn wirft den Führungsspielern Lahm und Schweinsteiger vor „oftmals nur Konsens und Anpassung" zu suchen.

At the grand old age of 37 (though we'd swear that he's been 37 for at least the last five years) and after scoring a million goals in a thousand appearances over two spells at the club, Boca Juniors' veteran striker Martin Palermo played his last ever game at La Bombonera at the weekend.

Clausura Argentina: Il Boca si aggiudica il superclasicoPalermo va a segno in quello che dovrebbe essere il suo ultimo superclasico Di Simone Melis Il Boca batte 2-0 gli eterni rivali del River e mette in saccoccia il superclasico numero 188. A decidere il match è stato un uno-due micidiale siglato nel primo tempo grazie a una clamorosa papera di Carrizo e al solito Martin Palermo.

Starting things of on Friday the 15th of April it was the clash of the titans, or maybe one titan and a has-been titan? Djurgårdens IF played hosts to reigning champions Malmö FF at the old Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. Djurgården used to be one of the top teams in Sweden and I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that in the near future they could reach such heights again.

PSAP climb to the top of Group 1 after edging Persiraja in the Aehnese derby in front of a healthy crowd.

I understand Pro Titan from Group 1 of the Divisi Utama have appointed Dutch coach Dick Buitelaar as their new coach.
The Dutchman last coached Persitara last season in what was probably a very interesting experience for all concerned!

Sometimes facts are their to uncover false truths and this little gem does just that...

It's often said that Everton have never been relegated, but this is false. They were relegated to the second division in 1931 and came straight back up the following year.

Yesterdays giant killers Crawley Town, of the Blue Square Premier, humbled Championship side Derby 2-1 at their home ground just outside London. Crawley itself is retentively a new club, the town was only created after the second World War...anyway, here is a fact.

The FA cup can be important for small clubs: On their run there home gate has doubled to 1,200 and continues to increase while the club has made current total revenue of £273,000.
