| Newcastle’s stadium is officially called St James’ Park again Posted: 09 Oct 2012 07:58 AM PDT Newcastle’s stadium has always been known as St James’ Park to just about everyone. Since November 2011, it has officially been called the Sports Direct Arena, except that nobody called it that. But now it’s got its name back for good courtesy of payday lender Wonga… and it hasn’t even had to pay a grossly [...]

| Random 1990s Footballer Tuesday: #41 Ulrich Van Gobbel Posted: 09 Oct 2012 04:06 AM PDT Name: Ulrich Van Gobbel In his 90s prime for: Southampton Lowdown: Using the word "prime" above is perhaps a little loose, as we voted Dutchman Van Gobbel into our list of worst Premier League signings made by Southampton. It is fair to say, however, that the defender has one of THE greatest Premier League names. [...]

| Rhyming Team-mates: Arouna Kone and… Posted: 09 Oct 2012 02:59 AM PDT … Shaun Maloney. Wigan boss Roberto Martinez isn’t necessarily having the best start to the season, but he does deserve some credit for his business in the summer. Plotting his line-up in the summer, he probably murmured aloud in his best south Wales Spanish brogue: Arouna Kone, Shaun Maloney And he knew he was on [...]

| Posted: 09 Oct 2012 02:58 AM PDT While we were tracking down that Luis Suarez lasso GIF, we found Sir Alex Ferguson checking out champions Manchester City during their match against Borussia Dortmund last week. It’s safe to say that the Manchester United gaffer didn’t exactly find it enthralling. Via Olly-RedCafe

| GIF It: Liverpool’s Luis Suarez didn’t dive, he was merely lassoed Posted: 09 Oct 2012 02:33 AM PDT Yee-haw!!! Sherrif Brendan Rodgers has been defending Luis Suarez against those who would besmirch his good name and call him a diver. And this GIF shows that his penalty area tumble against Stoke was purely down to some lasso-based tomfoolery. Via Olly @ RedCafe

| Video: Borussia Dortmund’s Lukasz Piszczek wraps his nuts round the post Posted: 09 Oct 2012 01:29 AM PDT The first thing Lukasz Piszczek did after Borussia Dortmund’s 1-1 with Hannover at the weekend was go for a pee check (i.e. make sure he was still capable of passing water). The Poland international saw a couple of balls rebound off the post in particularly painful fashion. One of the finest performances of the Babb [...]

| Video: FIFA 13 finds a way to cheer up disgruntled keepers after they’ve conceded Posted: 09 Oct 2012 01:07 AM PDT The goal celebrations on FIFA 13 have thrown up this rather unusual effort, which seems to show the goalscorer fraternising with the opposition goalkeeper they’ve just humiliated. Presumably this is where the phrase ‘keeping a clean sheet’ originates. Via Dirty Tackle

| AC Milan fined over banner demanding Antonio Cassano returns their defibrillator Posted: 09 Oct 2012 01:02 AM PDT AC Milan have been hit with a €8,000 fine after their fan’s unfurled a banner referencing former player Antonio Cassano’s heart surgery. The Italy international requested a move in the summer and ended up being transferred to local rivals Inter Milan. That has, predictably, made him a hate figure among Milan fans and that theme [...]
