Leon Knight skips his third match for new club Coleraine to appear on Soccer AM Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:24 AM PDT Interesting priorities from the ex-Chelsea man Remember Leon Knight’s Twitter rant against Rushden and Diamonds after they activated a one-year extension to his contract to block a free transfer to Darlington? Good. Well, since then the former Chelsea striker has signed for Northern Irish side Coleraine. He has scored three goals in his first two [...]

Video: Belgian footballer hurls duck off pitch! Posted: 01 Nov 2010 05:07 AM PDT Absolutely quackers You will find no journalistic sensationalism in that headline. Zulte Waregem’s Habib Habibou had seen quite enough of a duck which had landed on the pitch and was holding up his side’s match against Lokeren. He stalked the web-footed pitch invader, grabbed him and chucked him over the advertising hoardings. And in case [...]

An interesting insight into Kevin Nolan and Andy Carroll’s weird homelife Posted: 01 Nov 2010 03:47 AM PDT Captain Kev is strict parent to Carroll When Newcastle striker Andy Carroll’s bail conditions forced him to move into the family home of Kevin Nolan, it sparked much hilarity. Many people were envisaging some sort of Bert and Ernie set-up for the Toon pair. The truth, it turns out, is equally bizarre. It has emerged [...]

Chicharito holds the key to Wayne Rooney saga Posted: 01 Nov 2010 03:17 AM PDT Mexican striker United’s new main man So Wayne Rooney is back from his seven-star escapades in Dubai, and watched his side's comfortable, if at times farcical, win over Spurs. Reportedly out for a further five weeks, Rooney would have been forgiven for watching Javier Hernandez more closely than any other red-shirted player. Economically it seems [...]

Match of the Day steals two points from Fulham Posted: 01 Nov 2010 02:31 AM PDT Clint Dempsey might have a couple of complaints The screenshot above seems to show Fulham manager Mark Hughes staring towards the Match of the Day captions looking a little perturbed. And with good reason. He could have sworn his side had scored two goals against Wigan. Sparky, what’s the score?

Video: Meet Jack – the little Newcastle mascot with a big ego Posted: 01 Nov 2010 02:11 AM PDT Move over, Kev Having bagged a hat-trick, Kevin Nolan could probably have expected to be considered the star of the show at the Tyne-Wear derby. But the Magpies’ mascot had other ideas. Jack is not exactly a shy lad, even with thousands of people watching him in the stadium and many more at home.

Top 10 conclusions Premier League weekend 30-31 October Posted: 01 Nov 2010 02:07 AM PDT 1. There were certainly one or two Halloween frights for the Premier League elite, although most of the top teams ultimately ended up with treat rather than trick. 2. Manchester City are the notable exception. A fear that the opposition at Molineux were werewolves perhaps. 3. There was never any danger of Manchester United suffering [...]

Brazilian Ze Eduardo beaten up by Santos team mates Posted: 01 Nov 2010 12:48 AM PDT Birthday celebrations turn a little sour On my tenth birthday I had a football party, accompanied by the inevitable four footballs and three pairs of shinpads as presents. The occasion was soured when two of my friends squared up after a challenge (I was ten, so this wasn’t exactly Millwall v West Ham). I never [...]

Player kicks and punches referee in Croatia Posted: 31 Oct 2010 11:12 PM PDT Seems a reasonable overreaction If you’ve watched the video, you know the score. Quite simply a ridiculous reaction from the Croatian Fourth division, as a player reacts to a poor penalty decision by going all out on the referee. It must be said that the referee controls the situation admirably. Two questions: 1. Why was [...]
