| New Premier League ball Nike Maxim revealed Posted: 02 Jul 2012 06:11 AM PDT Nike have unveiled the ball that will be used in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A next season. The Nike Maxim will be flying into nets up and down the country from August onwards. And, let’s face it, it’s about time we had some football around here. The bright colours in use on [...]

| Video: David Beckham’s amazingly accurate, long-range petulance Posted: 02 Jul 2012 04:32 AM PDT David Beckham celebrated being left out of the Team GB squad for the London 2012 Olympics by picking a fight with just about anybody he could during LA Galaxy’s match against San Jose Earthquakes. Typically of the man, he couldn’t even give a petulant display of dissent without showing off the accuracy of his passing. [...]

| Video: Mario Balotelli not a fan of clipboards Posted: 02 Jul 2012 03:44 AM PDT Manchester City staff already on the lookout for ways to keep Mario Balotelli out of trouble next season might like to note the need to keep clipboards away from him after a defeat.

| Top 10 worst Premier League signings: Aston Villa Posted: 02 Jul 2012 03:21 AM PDT OTP revisits some of the transfers that the country’s largest clubs would rather forget… 10. Najwan Ghrayib The Israeli defender was being chased by Spurs until John Gregory snapped up the player for Villa, following the recommendation of his scout that Ghrayib was the "best left-back he had ever seen”. The defender stayed for one [...]

| Top 10 worst Premier League signings: Arsenal Posted: 02 Jul 2012 03:16 AM PDT OTP revisits some of the transfers that the country’s largest clubs would rather forget… 10. Jermaine Pennant Although Pennant has established himself as a half-decent Premier League winger with Liverpool and Stoke, his time at Arsenal was blighted by a series of personal problems. Arsenal paid £2million for a 15-year-old, and were left with an [...]

| All our dreams come true: it’s Wolves’ George Elokobi in a YouTube fitness video Posted: 02 Jul 2012 01:03 AM PDT Wolves defender George Elokobi is a player who’s always fascinated OTP. As wide as he is tall, the Cameroon international looks like he’d make a better nightclub bouncer than a football. Perhaps he would, but he’s still giving football a fair crack of the whip. Built like the proverbial brick outhouse and with a neck [...]

| Video: Alan Shearer puts Spain’s Euro 2012 victory down to ‘an unbelievable amount of sex’ Posted: 02 Jul 2012 12:56 AM PDT How do you motivate the national team that’s already won everything? With “an unbelievable amount of sex”. That’s the verdict of ex-England captain Alan Shearer anyway. The BBC pundit had a minor slip of the tongue during the post-match festivities which led to him crediting Shakira, Sara Carbonero and the rest of Spain’s WAGs with [...]

| Revealed: The confidence-boosting training sessions that helped Fernando Torres rediscover his form Posted: 01 Jul 2012 02:18 PM PDT Take note, Roberto Di Matteo. This is how you nurse Euro 2012 Golden Boot winner Fernando Torres back to top form. Let him have a few training sessions with team-mates who look up to him.

| Top 10 Euro 2012 final conclusions: Spain 4-0 Italy Posted: 01 Jul 2012 02:02 PM PDT 1. Congratulations, Spain. We would have liked to see you head-to-head against Germany, but we’re more than willing to accept that you were far better than anyone else in this tournament. 2. Who needs a striker when your 5ft 8in midfielder scores headers and your left-back races onto through-balls to find the net? 3. We’ve [...]

| OTP’s Howard The Psychic Duck predicts… Spain v Italy Posted: 01 Jul 2012 11:27 AM PDT It’s time. Howard might have foreseen Germany lining up against the holders this evening, but what are you going to do. There’s only a Mario Balotelli inspired Italy between Spain and their third straight major tournament, so which way has our feathered soothsayer called it? Our amphibious friend bows out tonight, and he’ll either be [...]

| Copycat: Japanese striker mimics Mario Balotelli’s muscle rippling goal celebration Posted: 01 Jul 2012 09:47 AM PDT Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and it’s never more entertaining than when you are imitating Mr Mario Balotelli. On Saturday a honourable homage to the Italian’s muscle clenching celebration against Germany was provided by Ken Tokura in the J-League. The Vissel Kobe forward bagged the winner against Kawasaki Frontale by sauntering in to the last third [...]

| Rule book revelation: Disastrous Portugal penalties could have been taken in any order Posted: 01 Jul 2012 09:15 AM PDT Maybe watching over 30 games of football in the last three weeks has left us a little frazzled between the ears, but we worked under the assumption that there was a fixed order of penalty takers to keep to in a shootout scenario. Apparently not so according to former-Premier League referee Graham Poll. Whilst we [...]

| Crazy Spanish referee belts a 30 yard shot at goal during youth match Posted: 01 Jul 2012 08:28 AM PDT We’ve long believed that many referees are frustrated footballers, and it would appear our suspicions are confirmed, at least when it comes to observing this Spanish official. With Unión Deportiva Móstoles destroying Aravaca 13-0 in the Madrid South Youth Cup and time ticking down, the match referee shows some great tenacity to dispossess a player and duly spank the ball at [...]
