In Bob Bradley's search for Jozy Altidore's strike partner now that Charlie Davis is
unfortunately out for six months or more recovering from that horrific car crash.
Johnson has always been an enigma. Great promise and an ability to get behind defenses with his
speed. His was a blazing start with the MNT as he scored 7 goals in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers
including a goal on debut against El Salvador and a hat trick three days later against Panama.

Howdy doody LadyArse lovers. It seems as though I may have a very tiny apology to make regarding
the standard of my blogging over the past number of weeks, maybe even months (this week aside). The
reason for this is that I have been thoroughly and utterly miserable in work, more so than is
normal.

Last year we justified the lack of goals by pointing to a cast iron defensive record. The idea
was (correctly, I think) that because the midfielders are more defensive than attacking our men are
behind the ball in transition and neither team scores many.
This year's been a bit of a bugger, in that we've already allowed 7 goals.

Manchester United have confirmed that a new contract has been given to Park Ji-Sung. The South
Korean was set to be out of a contract at the end of the season, but this new agreement will keep
him at Old Trafford until June 2012.
Sir Alex Ferguson has often stated his respect and appreciation for 28-year-old Park, sentiments
which were echoed in an improved deal.

In case you hadn't noticed, this past weekend was the most interesting one we've had all season.
First, we ended DC United (again), although DC did look much better. You have no idea how happy I
am to have those guys' number. 3 points in the District? I'll take that any day, particularly
considering our awful road record.

Croatia coach Slaven Bilic has claimed he knows England's weaknesses here are the three areas
where we think Fabio Capello's side may be vulnerable.

1. England's playing style puts too much strain at the back
Fabio Capello was right to back Glen Johnson after his defender was on the receiving end of much
criticism after the 2-1 win over Slovenia.

Chelsea: Siege, Intrigue and Champions League
The Chelsea transfer embargo detonated by Fifa this week will have massive and perturbing
repercussions. Even with Chelsea delaying proceeding and stagnating the affect of the transfer
prohibition by deploying a stalling bureaucracy the outcome appears inevitable.

This is some fascinating news that really could influence the 2010-2011 Premier League season, if
not this current 2009-2010 campaign.
Chelsea have been banned from signing any new players until 2011 by FIFA.
The club was found guilty of inducing French winger Gael Kakuta, 18, to breach his contract with
Lens when he  joined in 2007.

With a week until the transfer window closes, some fairly bizarre rumours have been doing the
rounds.
First, it was claimed that Michael Carrick was on his way back to Tottenham Hotspur with Luka
Modric coming in the other direction. The Spurs fans seemed to fancy it but could see that it was
tabloid nonsense, originated from the fact Carrick had been rotated and Harry Redknapp confessed
Ferguson was a fan of Modric.

In his pursuit of a fresh start, Cristiano Ronaldo has officially listed his Bentley for sale.
Of course, the drivers' seat would be on the wrong side of the car in Spain, and Ronaldo is being

The Bentley, with just 7,000 miles on it, is listed for sale at only £114,950.

Former world club champions Independiente, of Argentina, are a club in crisis.
Currently, 16th in the table with the highest number of defeats, 10 in 18 matches, of the 20 teams
in the Primera division, their fans are getting rather sick of the freefall they're experiencing
this season.
After getting fed up with another lack-lustre performance from their once great side, the fans of
Independiente, realising that the usual shouting abuse at the team method wasn't working, decided a
different approach was needed.

With some clubs having to forsake the highly paid foreign strikers it has been refreshing to see
local forwards getting among the goals. Primarily of course Persipura's Boaz Solossa. The lightning
quick wide man can play anywhere along the front and has long been considered a Papuan prodigy and
this season, despite missing much of the start, has shown what he can do with 26 goals so far,
second only behind some geezer called Cristian Gonazales.

Good times. No, awesome times. Wonder goals by Ray Parlour and Freddie"Orange Hair"
Ljungberg.
It always comes as a bit of a shock: The number of English players in the 2002 squad:
Parlour, Keown, Adams, Dixon, Campbell, Cole, Wright, and Seaman.
It puts into context the snide criticism of Wenger as one of the culprits held responsible for
undermining the national game by encouraging the foreign invasion.

AC Milan
As the season comes to a close the top of the Serie A table makes for sobering reading for those
behind Inter Milan. The Nerazzurri have won the league at a canter this season and in truth it
never looked as if anyone was going to catch Mourinho's men. AC Milan may occupy third spot in the
table now but their season has been characterised more by a bid for Champions League qualification
than chasing the Scudetto and for the   Rossoneri's fans this just simply isn't good
enough.
