On Thursday, November 5, I was a panelist at Football Partnership's Tweet Blowing the Whistle on Social Media, a discussion about soccer and social media. The panelists also included Greg Lalas (Goal.com), Chris Schlosser (MLSnet.com) and Chris Toy (Studs-Up.com). For more about the panelists, check out the blog I posted the day after the event.

Chivas USA 2 Galaxy 2

An entertaining if error-ridden game with all four goals coming from unmitigated howlers has ended all square.

Alan Gordon missed a trio of chances for the Galaxy after coming on a as a second half sub that could have made the difference, but Chivas USA had their own burden to bear with striker Justin Braun seemingly intent on giving away virtually every ball he touched.

Jozy Altidore was excluded from the Hull City game with no explanation for his absence to be found. But the young lass loves his social networking sites, so the mystery didn't take very long to figure out.

"Apologize to the all of you.

Last week, I posted a tweet that if I was reborn, I would become a Tottenham Hotspur supporter simply because of The Spurs Show podcast. And I meant it. Most of the readers here know me as a Swansea City supporter, but there's something completely endearing, refreshing, honest and depressing about being a regular listener to The Spurs Show that makes me feel closer to the pain one must feel supporting THFC.

I sent out a tweet about the U-20 World Cup early last week, and had a post in the works, but I never got around to finishing it until now. The group stage of the competition is over and the bare facts tell the story: none of the CONCACAF qualifiers finished in the top two of their respective groups, two finished in third place, and other other two bottom of their group.

Well, after Twittergate earlier this year, we saw Darren Bent's account disabled. Good news for Niall Quinn: D-Bent is back. He may just get a "stop f***ing around" tweet of his very own one day. But Bent didn't just come quietly back to the world of status updates. He's challenged boxer Tony Jeffries to a follower count war. Click to continue reading...

He's our go-to guy when we need a quick pectoral pick-me-up: Everton/Socceroo player Tim Cahill.

This photo was taken in the summer, but we're quite certain he hasn't lost a single hip-dip since then.

I had alluded in a tweet to my assessment of the Rodrigo Kenton denouement, but I'll state it again here: Rodrigo Kenton was the first casualty of the Costa Rican national team's overinflated expectations. Nothing has changed all that much with the team in the 14 months he was at the helm, but the results obtained in the first half of his tenure set up fans and media in Costa Rica for a crushing disappointment in the second half.

Thanks to all those who had followed The Flat Back Four on Twitter today. To say that we had a great time chatting and tweet-ing about possible transfer moves would be stretching it a bit. In fact, it was quite the opposite. When the expectation and hype gets built up so much and all we get is a £12m Michael Turner switch from Hull City to Sunderland, then it's time we face the facts and realise that this is as good as it gets in the Barclays Premier League this season.

It looks like it's official, well, sort of. I am a follower of Harry Redknapp on Twitter, as are another 270+. Now, I can't be sure that it's really Harry, but some of the things he has said in his tweets sort of confirm that it is him.
In a tweet sent this morning, Harry said the following;

Last season Pep Guardiola's Barcelona thrilled Europe with their fluid, vivacious, irrepressible brand of football. Led by the combined talents of Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Messi and Eto'o, Barca surged to an exceptional treble which established the Catalan club as the most formidable on the planet.

The Twitter bandwagon is in full flow - some would say slowing down, almost - and there is a steady flow of footballers and football related Twitterers appearing in the micro-blogging sphere. It really hit the back (and front) pages with Darren Bent's Twitter 'rant' at Daniel Levy a few weeks back - but did you know that Hull's new striker, signed on the back of Daryl Murphy and Bobby Zamora turning them down, was also there?

This is probably a first, a European football player with a "Verified Account" on"twitter. His first tweet was from his agent Jorge Mendes "This is the official Cristiano Ronaldo twitter.

"Ref in seattle just cheated the dynamo. What a joke. Not even close. Ref is a cheat" Not the usual ranting of a fan of the Dynamo after a controversial decision in an MLS game. No, this was a now-infamous tweet by Brian Ching, U.S. national team player and star of the Houston Dynamo, after he'd watched what he saw as some disgraceful refereeing of his MLS team on television.
