In what is a rather unfortunate oversight by 'Rochdale Driving School', Manchester City starlet
Courtney Meppen-Walter is featured on the front page of their website (see below), as one of their
happy customers who had passed first time.
However, this weekend the 18-year-old was arrested, along with another man, on suspicion of
causing the death of another person due to dangerous driving.

As is to be expected when two men are armed with high pressure jet washers, it doesn't take long
before a big, wet war breaks out.
A couple of gutsy, Atletico Mineiro-associated graffiti vandals went to the trouble of first
scaling and then re-christening the 'Christ The Redeemer' statue that looks out over the
Milionarios region of Belo Horizonte (a smaller-scale copy of Rio de Janeiro's iconic landmark),
spraying Ronaldinho's name and number across our Lord and Saviour's back in a homage to his club's
new superstar signing there was only one small flaw.

Crotone, Serie B side Reggina Calcio hoped that a shirt designed to look like the chiselled,
weather-worn torso of an Ancient Greek statue would strike the fear of the Gods into their local
rivals (the goalkeeper's similarly Adonis-esque jersey is on the right in the second image).
On loan from Arsenal, where he struggled to live up to the (self-inflated) hype surrounding his
ability, Nicklas Bendtner has been nothing more than average for Sunderland so far this season.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has implied that Manchester United's aggressive pursuit of former
Gunners skipper Robin van Persie this summer was a desperation move as the Red Devils couldn't find
anyone else on the transfer market.
Wenger was responding to questions over his attacking signings this summer following the club's
0-0 draw at home to Sunderland yesterday and insisted that the likes of Lukas Podolski and Olivier
Giroud were some of the best available players on the market.
A day after two managers have left their clubs to go to bigger and supposedly better ones, can
we really expect anyone in the game to show loyalty? Or what we'd define as loyalty?
Brendan Rodgers has had a great season at Swansea but when the plaintive Scouse cry was directed
towards him, he was up and out the door.
During Man City's victory parade on Monday, Carlos Tevez gleefully held up a poster that read
'RIP Fergie' that he procured from the crowd. The message was a play on Man United manager Sir Alex
Ferguson's response of "not in my lifetime" when asked in 2009 if his side would ever be underdogs
in a Manchester derby and prompted a quick apology from City.
Last Saturday, in the game against Norwich, Vermaelen won possession around the halfway line in
the 26th minute and proceeded on a run towards the opposition box. Arsenal did manage to get enough
bodies forward but Sagna's cross was easily cleared leading to a counter-attack that resulted in
the visitors' second goal.

With the league campaign winding down without much to celebrate and everyone holding their
breath waiting for the offseason craziness to kick off in earnest, it's been a quiet week of news
from a Liverpool point of view. Still, there's always something out there if you look hard enough.
And besides, it's not like you'd rather be doing work right now.
Andy Carroll won the match, making him the hero. On the other hand, for most of the game he was
quite thoroughly anonymous. Though of course he went some way towards making up for that by being
one of the best players on the pitch in the closing minutes. Still, until those closing minutes it
seemed the two things he'd be remembered for would be missing what had until then been Liverpool's
best chance of the second half and for handing Blackburn their first goal of the night.
We have seven Premier League matches in store on this, the seventh of April, today. Kicking off
gameweek 32 is the early kick-off between Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur at the Stadium of Light.
It's a match between two men who ...

There was a point yesterday – just before Sunderland scored their freak goal – when I was
thinking: we need to change this game from the bench, but who can we bring on? We have no quality
on the bench!
Silly me.
All it took was one Ramsey pot shot, one sublime cross from Arshavin and one trademark Henry
finish to prove that Arsène Wenger still knows what he's doing.
Mirror: What are the odds Thierry Henry plays for Arsenal next season too? Derek
McGovern's Bets of the Day
Who said the Premier League was no country for old men? First Paul Scholes, now Thierry Henry
– two men with the combined age of Ryan Giggs. Giggs and Scholes are now so old, they argue over
who walked further to school as a kid.
Don't think you were alone if you went into the half shaking your head and wondering how United
were 2 0 up. Some combination of luck, Boskovic free kicks, and Hamid's reflexes opened a margin
that didn't seem so pronounced on the field, particularly after the Guy injury forced Heaps to move
Feilhaber inside where he belongs.
Arlo White now has his boots in the booth for NBC Sports Networks, and his successor behind the
microphone for Seattle Sounders FC has been revealed.
I'm sure Ross Fletcher will do a bang-up job, and I'm truly
intrigued to observe how Kasey Keller makes the transition from player to TV analyst, especially
considering he's in the starting blocks at one of Major League Soccer's more important and higher
profile regional broadcast positions.
AC Milan's interest in Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is hotting up according to reports emerging
from Italy.
Corriere dello Sport claim the England international has been identified as medium to long-term
replacement by the Italian giants for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and that a deal could be done before the
start of new season.
Losing a rivalry game can be devastating. Especially when that rival was thoroughly outplayed
for 90 minutes. Yet that is where the Union find themselves.
Playing down a man for 47 minutes, the Union still turned in their best performance of 2012,
looking confident on the ball and eager to attack the questionable New York defense.
Two teams struggling in the early going with 3-4-0 records meeting for the chance to step back
into the fray of the Western Conference race should be enough of a plot for the Rapids-Chivas USA
showdown on Saturday.
But no, the subplots abound. Let us count the ways.

A late withdrawal prompted changes to two Men's Over-30 groups and the schedule for Madison
United's 19th annual President's Cup indoor soccer tournament, which is next weekend at BreakAway

The St. Charles Celtics pulled out of the event and were replaced by Madison-area team
Galaxy.
Athletic Bilbao coach Marco Bielsa became embroiled in a 'physical altercation' with the site

The big story in football this evening is that six players have been arrested on suspicion of
sexually assaulting a woman. Five Brighton players and a Bournemouth player are being questioned
about an attack in July last year. The Brighton players are an 18-year-old man, a 19-year-old, two
men aged 20 and one aged 24.
The stats that keep coming up is that Newcastle have but one win in the last eight games, andÂ
only 5 points  out of a possible 24. Carver and Pardew the two men in charge at Newcastle
That's not a good record, and nowhere near the 25 points we got out of the other 11 games in the
league. [...
