Breakfast bonkers! Reading’s Sean Morrison dedicates himself to eating every supermarket cereal Posted: 19 Nov 2012 02:00 AM PST We all had the instinct that professional footballers have too much on their hands – but now we finally have it indisputably confirmed. Step forward Reading centre-back Sean Morrison. For no discernible reason, he’s challenging himself to sample every single cereal for sale down his local supermarket. We’ll hand it over to Sean himself to [...]

Goggles on! J-league match falls into dissaray thanks to sopping wet pitch Posted: 19 Nov 2012 01:55 AM PST Players have got it pretty good in the Premier League nowadays. Any standing water on a pitch and the game is called off in a heartbeat – the chances of looking like complete amphibious clowns are minimal. Thankfully, such killjoy measures have clearly not quite made it to the J-League in Japan just yet. Have [...]

Top 10 conclusions: Premier League weekend, 17-18 November Posted: 19 Nov 2012 01:51 AM PST 1. Perhaps pitch-length goal celebrations are an effective way for Emmanuel Adebayor to get rid of some adrenaline when he’s playing against Arsenal. A relatively subdued celebration was followed by a reckless red card challenge on Santi Cazorla. 2. We’re not sure if flicking through a notepad of tactics in the dugout seemingly looking for [...]

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson slams Liverpool for wasting Michael Owen’s potential Posted: 19 Nov 2012 01:40 AM PST Now, this might not go down too well down Anfield Way. Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has voiced his frustration and disappointment at the way Michael Owen’s potential was managed by Liverpool – claiming the Reds overplayed the prolific poacher and thereby stunted his ascendancy to become one the game’s greats. Owen – who [...]

West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady sends five DVDs of Kevin Nolan to England boss Roy Hodgson Posted: 19 Nov 2012 01:30 AM PST After bagging five Premier League goals this season – the same amount as the Sergio Aguero, Jermain Defoe and Dimitar Berbatov – there are definite rumblings that Kevin Nolan should be considered for a place in the England squad. Banging that particular drum harder than an irate Ringo Starr is West Ham vice-chairman and The [...]

GIF It: Edgar Davids sent off for Barnet Posted: 18 Nov 2012 08:24 AM PST It was only a matter of time. Edgar Davids has been in charge of Barnet for over a month, so his first sending off for the Bees was probably overdue. Well, no longer, as the Dutchman was given his marching orders for a second yellow card after crunching into James Beattie (as if that is [...]

Moussa Sow adds to his Puskas Award nomination with another golazo Posted: 18 Nov 2012 08:13 AM PST Senegal striker Moussa Sow isn’t resting on his laurels after his nomination for the best goal in world football in 2012 (Puskas Award). The Fenerbache forward scored an acrobatic volley against Eskişehirspor, but perhaps the most surprising is that it came after fantastic work from Dirk Kuyt. Or are we being harsh? Sow has previously [...]

Newcastle United squad do their own Bushtucker Trial Posted: 18 Nov 2012 07:53 AM PST With the new I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here series recently started, and the hosts Ant and Dec huge Newcastle fans, the Newcastle squad have this week run their own version of the Bushtucker Trial. Players and staff were treated to the opportunity to hold snakes and spiders, and also offered the chance [...]
