Mr Ang had been the face of the clubIn less than a week, perennial underachievers Geylang United
are hit by another news when it was announced that their long-serving chairman Mr Patrick Ang
(pictured left) will step down from his post on 1st February.
According to the media release issued by the Football Association of Singapore, the long-time
veteran in the local football scene will hand over the reins to former national skipper Leong Kok
Fann.
Michael Bradley went the distance for Chievo Verona, who had their hands full as they dropped one
to Serie A underachievers Inter Milan.
I am thinking that TFC's lack of a true nickname is a reflection of their lack of success over
the years. Dan Dunleavy (announcing the game on GOLTV) was smart not to refer to Toronto as the
"Reds" when playing against a team wearing red. It made me think that "Reds" will never take hold,
it is just a place holder until something inspired comes along.
Stoke sign two 'immature underachievers' plus why Hutton and O'Hara aren't missing
Spurs
Until recently, Stoke City's dressing room wall featured a poster with the headline ‘On 29th
June 2010 Two Planes Landed In England', complete with contrasting photos of England's failed World
Cup squad returning to Heathrow and the coffins of British soldiers from the Afghanistan conflict
being repatriated.
Tottenham confirm interest in Adebayor - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Spurs' boss Harry Redknapp said that Tottenham are talking to Manchester City about striker
Emmaneul Adebayor. The former Arsenal forward would be an excellent addition for Spurs, who are in
desperate need for a quality striker.
HJK entertain Schalke tomorrow in the play-off round of the Europa League. Despite the
undeniable fact that HJK are marching towards the Veikkausliiga title, the home tie against the
German giants is an event that eclipses their whole season (unless they make it into the Europa
League group phase of course).
Joey Barton welcomes Gervinho to life in the Premier League with an embrace
Us Arsenal fans have been approaching the beginning of this new campaign with a sense of dread.
On the field, the team fell of a cliff last spring in quick sucession, they handed the Carling Cup
to Birmingham in the waning minutes; got eliminated from the Champions League yet again by nemesis
Barcelona, and fell from within striking distance of the top of the Premier League to barely
hanging on to a Champions League spot.
The Southern Premier League has a new sponsor this year, the same one as its northern
counterpart so make sure you don't confuse the two. Helpful. Anyway, teamwise the biggest relief
for those footballers who get car sick is that Truro have been promoted, so that's one afternoon
spent on the M5 looking at the back of caravans which teams and fans alike won't have to
endure.
David Bridges has returned to Kettering Town, 3 years after he made the move in the opposite
direction to sign for Graham Westley's revolution. A lot has changed in those 3 years. Boro have
gone from annual underachievers in the Conference to punching above their weight in League 1. That
is ultimately the reason why Bridges' time at Broadhall Way has been cut short.
Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva has enjoyed a well-earned break on his cattle ranch after a tough
season with the Anfield club.
This picture of Lucas, who was a stand-out player in an otherwise underwhelming campaign for the
Reds, has gone viral, with Liverpool fans quick to comment on the South American star's choice of
summer holiday destination.

Always the perennial underachievers, the last few years have seen that theory put to bed.
Though the senior team went out in the second round in the 2006 world cup, their previous group
performances were electric and a sign of things to come, only hiccuping when faced with a certain
purple patch conjured by the majestic Zinedine Zidane and assisted by a blatant dive from the then
golden boy Thierry Henry.
The long suffering fans of Hamburg need no reminding that it has been 24 long years since they
last lifted a trophy – and all but the most hopeful are already resigned to another campaign full
of hurt.
The players which have formed the core of the team recently are being allowed to leave and with
youngsters coming in to replace them an instant turnaround seems impossible.

Undoubtedly, the most successful coach in Tampines Rovers Football Club since the inception of the
S.League in 1996 - Vorawan Chitavanich had stepped down as the club's Technical Director and
decided to head home to Thailand.
The timing of his departure could not have come to a rather bumpy timing when the Stags are facing
sticky patches of late after ACL injuries to star players such as 'keeper Hassan Sunny and defender
Park Yo Seb that effectively rule them out of the rest of the campaign.
This season marks the first time in 35 years that Manchester City have won a trophy, and only
the fourth season in the last ten when Chelsea haven't. Yet, despite the unprecedented success
these clubs have enjoyed of late, and the vast amounts of cash sloshing around their bank accounts,
they remain, now and forever, without class.

vergüenza por el resultado.

I love Spurs. It's a simple fact of life. Some would call it a curse but that doesn't stop me.
The wife knows she wasn't my first love and the only constant in my 32 years has been a football
club. Like many fans much of my life revolves around the club and the team. Most of my friends are
spurs fans simply because we never run out of anything to say.
ARSENAL are currently the great underachievers of football.
They play the beautiful game in a most beautiful way, but the Gunners' last trophy came way back
in 2005, in an FA Cup final penalty shoot-out triumph over Manchester United.
Tonight Arsenal travel to the Nou Camp to take on football's other beautiful people,
Barcelona.
Holders Inter Milan host last season's runners-up Bayern Munich at the San Siro in a
