matchup with Toluca this weekend.

It is one of the biggest rivalries in all of Spanish football. But this season Atletico
Madrid will receive more punishment for fans involvement in the derby then the 3-2 loss the
reeling club has already suffered. In the second half of the match Real Madrid coach Manuel
Pellegrini was struck in the side of the face by an object flung from the stands.

The Beauty: JoJo (who was born Joanna Noëlle Blagden Levesque) is an American
pop star. She rose to fame in the music biz at a very young age, and she parlayed her perfect
pipes into a successful acting career. Now, the sky is the limit for the young starlet.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Silent Stan Kroenke's actions certainly speak louder than his words and, again,
this morning's papers reflect on the Yank minted moustachioed one's latest purchases of Arsenal
shares as he inches ever closer to a takeover.
Kroenke yesterday took his stake in the Arsenal to 29.

Arsenal handed Tottenham Hotspur a critical 3-0 loss in our PLTO Match of the Week. The win
keeps Arsenal in third place and they remain right in the mix despite being back four points
because they have played one less game. The Spurs, on the other hand, drop back to fifth place
with the loss.

by CARL EDLRIDGE Stan Kroenke has snapped up another 427 shares in Arsenal's parent holding
company, at a cost of £3.6million, as the Yank moves closer towards the takeover threshold,
reports the Daily Mail.
Kroenke is now the largest individual shareholder in Arsenal, with a stake of 29.

If there is one thing that really grinds the Yank's gears it is when athletes that commit a
stupid act try to defend it weeks later rather then just allowing the situation to pass and
admitting their own stupidity.
Manchester City player and Wales team captain Craig Bellamy was recently a guilty party of such
a crime.

Miss Cleo asked for the week off after her dismal performance last week of only getting two
games right on the calender. This week your favorite false prophet is busy with the holidays and
all (what could be scarier then a thousand dollar phone bill) , so I'll try to help out in our
prophets absence.

99.9% of the time I write about Premier League football on this site, but today I wanted to
write about another type of football that will be showcasing its skills across the pond this Sunday
at 1:00 PM Eastern U.S. time. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the New England Patriots in an
NFL football game played in England today in what has become the annual NFL England match of the
season.

I believe that Spirit of Shankly's ‘Yank Liars Out! approach to ousting the owners is
unprofessional, undignified, and lacking in all credibility. Please vote in the poll, which I'm
re-posting in a bid to reach as many Liverpool fans as possible.
Vote at the bottom of the post
Spirit of Shankly is made up of a miniscule minority of Liverpool fans yet, amazingly, they purport
to represent ALL Liverpool fans.

roster.

The Yank is off to a fairly mediocre start this La Liga season in weekly picks and currently
sits at 24-14 on the year. Of course Real Madrid losing a few weeks back likely gave many
critics at least one loss and the Yank only missed two games completely and got five correct. So
things are beginning to look up this La Liga season.

It's one of the oldest jokes in the book, but it will keep on getting used anyway. Referees
are often the focus of a lot of negative banter including the recent incident in which Alex
Ferguson called out a ref for being out of shape and unable to keep up with the action. The
refs (in short) are often called horrible names most of which I will not even get into.

Miguel de las Cuevas
I know what you're thinking? Who is Miguel de las Cuevas and why is he the top performer of
the week? Miguel scored two goals this weekend for Sporting Gijon and the twenty-three year old
midfielder (a transfer from Atletico Madrid) enjoyed scoring his first two career La Liga goals in
route to a 4-1 win.

Emmanuel Adebayor is back into Manchester City's lineup a little bit earlier then expected.
The goal scoring forward's suspension for taunting his former club Arsenal's section of fans was
recently removed by the FA deeming the strange goal celebration provoked by the Gunners section
of the crowd.

Earlier this week, I watched the AEK Athens - Benfica game when I thought to myself: "Wasn't there
a yank that played for Benfica at one time?"

After the first full month of La Liga football the Yank is a mediocre 19-12 with his weekly
picks. Thanks to Real Madrid and Barcelona I am over the .500 percent curve, but unfortunately
Barca does not play this weekend and Real Madrid has the toughest match of the week against
Sevilla. So in other words the picks just got a lot harder.

Today's guest on the JMS Podcast is Matt Luzunaris. Matt is a Florida native currently being a
yank abroad playing for SK Rapid Wien in Austria. I don't know much about the Austrian league and
it's even more of a mystery of how a small town guy from Margate, Florida got there. This is what
we will find out today!

November 29th should be a date already marked on your calender. If your a Yank (like me) you
might be thinking is this the date for Thanksgiving Day? Not really. Turkey Day is actually
three days before this important date, but in a way this event is a lot like Thanksgiving
Day.

It's been a stellar start so far for the Yank picking games in La Liga, but at least I'm over
50% of my total picks with a 15-9 total record after three weeks. This weekend, much like every
weekend, brings forth a batch of tough matches. Some of the best squads will face off and a few
of the worst as well.

Tim Howard played a blinder in his first season at United, so much so, he was named PFA Keeper
of the Year. It is important to note he fought off competition from Jens Lehmann who had just
enjoyed an unbeaten season with Arsenal and Chelsea's Carlo Cudicini, who both conceded fewer goals
than him.

Sponsorship deal sealed!
Liverpool have secured a new shirt sponsorship deal that equals the most lucrative in football
history after signing a four-year agreement with Standard Chartered, the London-based international
bank, worth £80 million over four years.
With their present deal with Carlsberg due to expire in mid-2010, Liverpool's commercial
department, headed by Ian Ayre, has been looking for a money-spinning agreement in keeping with the
club's status as one of the most recognisable brands in world sport.

League's Biggest Baby
It is the least coveted award in all of the LLTO Award Ceremony, the League's Biggest Baby.
Who will win it in 2009/2010? With all the new additions to Real Madrid it is quite possible
that one addition will be the odd man out, but who will this player be?

So yeah, about that title thing. Before everyone starts cussing the yank owners for their
inability to fund an immediate replacement for Alonso, I would like to point out that we should not
have to have a huge transfer budget to beat the likes of Tottenham and Aston Villa. Those teams
certainly don't.

Haven't had much to report regarding Major League Soccer recently, primarily due to the lack of
positive results in Kansas City. Mama taught me that if you don't have something good to say, then
shut up. Or something along those lines...
Regarding the Wizards, this is a pretty strong message from a major supporter, Down The
Byline
Since scoring 3 goals in the first half against New England back on June 13th, the Wizards have
scored 1 goal in the next 13 halves of soccer.

Couple Americans to start it off:
