6-1? Joey Barton can’t believe the result of the Manchester derby Posted: 24 Oct 2011 02:37 AM PDT Joey, what’s the score? If you were wondering what is going through the mind of a Premier League footballer as they wait in the tunnel ahead of a big derby match, in Joey Barton’s case the answer is “did I just hear that PA system correctly?”. The QPR skipper caught wind of the result of [...]

Video: Sky Sports News reporter suffers bird poo direct hit live on air Posted: 24 Oct 2011 02:31 AM PDT A bird in the Stamford Bridge area displayed outstanding comedy timing by pooing on this Sky Sports News presenter just as he cuts to a video tape of Andre Villas Boas. Half-a-second later and this gem would never have been broadcast live on TV. Spotted on 101GG

Chelsea skipper John Terry denies racist abuse towards QPR’s Anton Ferdinand Posted: 24 Oct 2011 01:47 AM PDT Welcome to Amateur Lip-readers’ Club John Terry has released a statement denying he racially abused Anton Ferdinand during yesterday’s QPR-Chelsea match. Unusually, Terry’s response was not to an official complaint by Ferdinand but in response to internet tittle-tattle – of the sort you might find on OTP – suggesting that he could be lip-read making [...]

Football Lookalikes: The Drums’ album cover and the Neville brothers on holiday Posted: 24 Oct 2011 01:33 AM PDT Music’s other Neville Brothers Thanks to @mcavanagh87 for spotting that American indie band The Drums appear to have gone rummaging through Gary and Phil Neville’s old holiday snaps to find the cover art for their album.

Top 10 conclusions Premier League weekend 22-23 October Posted: 24 Oct 2011 01:08 AM PDT 1. Never mind Super Sunday, that was surreal Sunday. The football equivalent of a full moon. Absolutely bonkers. 2. On Saturday night OTP could not have imagined a scenario by which firebug Mario Balotelli could score two goals against Manchester United the following day and barely be a sub-plot. 3. Given events at Loftus Road, [...]

Top five conclusions: Manchester United 1-6 Manchester City Posted: 24 Oct 2011 12:47 AM PDT I’d 6-1 be a Manchester United fan 1. Changing of the guard? As Joe Hart would say, wowsers. The odds on Manchester City winning 6-1 before the game were 550/1. In truth, United were always likely to punished by a side with as much quality as City as soon as they went down to 10 [...]

Internet joker mocks Emile Heskey through FIFA 12 video Posted: 23 Oct 2011 01:50 PM PDT Making Emile of it This video has been around for a couple of days now, but it is only right that we bring it to your attention. The video starts with Zinedine Zidane stating that he wants Heskey in his team. However, the video then takes a turn for the worse when Heskey is then [...]

ES Serif of Algeria score a wonder goal Posted: 23 Oct 2011 01:50 PM PDT Props to our pals at 101GG for spotting this wonder goal by Abdelmoumene Djabou of ES Serif against Chlef. Sort of lookalike of Carlos Tevez, Djabou got the ball around the half way line, and then slalomed between several players before sliding the ball past the keeper. Not a player you will have ever heard [...]
