At half-time in this game, I have to admit that I was struggling to think about what I would write in my post-match report. However, and thankfully, the game came alive in the second-half, and will probably live long in the memory of Arsenal fans for years to come. My thoughts as follows:
* As I said, it didn't look like it was shaping up to be a classic in the first-half.

The Union confirmed on Wednesday through the team's Twitter account that Zac MacMath is joined in preseason training by Chase Harrison, who had temporarily joined the club late last season when Faryd Mondragon and Thorne Holder were both out with injuries before the club declined the option to sign him in November to make him available for the Re-Entry Draft.

So, Fabio Capello quits as the England national coach. This is, perhaps, unsurprising considering the dog's abuse that he has taken while leading the national team through an almost flawless qualification campaign, before finding that the decision over who would take the England captain's arm-band was taken away from him without consultation.

Luis Suarez has been back in action for twenty-five minutes, and he's already lucky he hasn't been banned two or four or seventeen more times. In related news, the buildup to a match against Manchester United is always so very much fun...

* In amongst all the excitement over Kenny Dalglish reminding the world that the club never thought Suarez' ban was an entirely appropriate punishment, following Monday's match there was an even more ridiculous Suarez b-plot that popped up when Wayne Rooney hopped on Twitter to suggest that the Liverpool striker should be banned for his mis-timed kick to Scott Parker's midriff.

Internet's been down in the FootyBlog mansions recently, so we were unable to share the story of the Anfield cat...

Apparently its a homeless cat named Kenny who is often spotted around the ground, but this was the first time it made an appearance on the pitch at Anfield. A spoof Twitter was set up after the game, reaching 25,000 followers the next day (is currently above 40,000!

Major League Soccer's seventeenth season begins in less than two months and as the teams prepare for the on pitch action their fans will prepare to follow them from not only stands, but with social media.
Their two main online allies? Facebook and Twitter.
Since the beginnings of MLS in the mid-1990s the Internet has exploded and in the last five years the advent of social media has changed the face of sports in the United States and the world.

Strange, I know, that something as anodyne as a cat should become an instant internet meme (meow-eme?), but this isn't just any old flea-bitten feline; this is The Anfield Cat the cat that put the 'feline' into 'I'm feline very ashamed of the entire world right now'.

Liverpool were presented with a golden chance of going within 2 points of 4th place after Chelsea were held to another draw on the weekend against Manchester United.

But it was not to be as Liverpool were held to their eighth league draw at Anfield by a determined Spurs outfit.

Andy Carroll went close to opening the scoring early on after Steven Gerrard sent through an inch perfect pass to Carroll who was stopped by an inch perfect tackle by Michael Dawson.

Luis Suarez made his Liverpool comeback last night following his eight-match ban during last night's 0-0 draw with Tottenham. You can imagine that the Uruguayan's final instructions before coming on as a substitute probably didn't go: "Barge over the guy with the Afro and then kick someone in the stomach.

I would hope that it wouldn't surprise any of our readership that I am not a Joey Barton fan. His mock-philosophical guff makes me feel like vomiting, and the assumption that his opinions have more validity than the rest of us just because he used to be violent and has now apparently reformed makes my [.
