Liverpool fan Omar rants at Robbie Savage on BBC 5Live 606 Posted: 23 Aug 2012 06:49 AM PDT This audio comes from BBC 5Live’s 606 phone-in on Saturday evening. Liverpool fan Omar, from Nottingham, rang up to tell Robbie Savage that he “talks through his a*se”. Omar starts off sounding quite pleasant, giving a nice hello and congratulating opponents West Brom on their win… but then he snaps. And he reserves his strongest [...]

Get a Barcelona shower head and play like Messi Posted: 23 Aug 2012 03:51 AM PDT Football clubs will do all in their power to sell merchandise, and that includes peddling some absolutely woeful tat. I remember almost shedding a tear after reading the blurb below an Arsenal child’s moneybox, the gist of which was to encourage your children to put their pocket money in an Arsenal-branded product so that they [...]

[...]

GIF It: Tottenham boss Andre Villas Boas climbs his step ladder to pose with Emmanuel Adebayor Posted: 23 Aug 2012 02:17 AM PDT Spurs manager Andre Villas Boas wanted to look new signing Emmanuel Adebayor in the eye and welcome him to the club.

Video: Young Mexican pitch invader gives security the runaround (Lobos Buap v Pueblo) Posted: 23 Aug 2012 01:08 AM PDT Football stewards are not usually renowned for their acceleration and yet it is they who are charged with getting pitch invaders off the field of play. So you can imagine the pitchside security at this match between Mexican sides Lobos Buap and Pueblo were not exactly thrilled with the prospect of chasing this teenager. At [...]

Dunfermline players appear to mock homeless woman Posted: 23 Aug 2012 12:55 AM PDT Dunfermline duo Ryan Thomson and Paul Willis are facing the wrath of their own fans, never mind anybody else, after seemingly posing for a photograph mocking a homeless woman.

GIF It: Fernando Torres offside goal helps Chelsea to victory over Reading Posted: 23 Aug 2012 12:36 AM PDT Chelsea retained their 100 per cent start to the season with a 4-2 victory over Reading last night.

Fernando Torres was quite clearly offside as he tucked the ball [...]
