| Referee fouls Zenit’s Viktor Fayzulin with two-footed lunge Posted: 24 Jan 2013 03:26 AM PST It’s just good to see a referee finally take a stand. With crowd, managers and players all screaming abuse as they do their job, it was only a matter of time before one snapped.

| New Hannover 96 signing Franca is surprisingly short Posted: 24 Jan 2013 02:49 AM PST We are used to signings from abroad not quite being what we hoped them to be. Graeme Souness is probably your go-to guy on that topic, after being fooled into playing Ali Dia, but there are innumerable players that come from afar with fantastic goalscoring records or reputations of grandeur before woefully disappointing. Still, I’m [...] |
| Eight-year-old recreates a Dennis Bergkamp wonder goal Posted: 24 Jan 2013 02:33 AM PST No, unfortunately it isn’t the one against Argentina from World Cup 98, but instead the one against Newcastle where the Dutch Master nudged the ball one side of the defender before spinning round to meet the ball and then slip it under a helpless Shay Given. The child in question is a member of Andelecht’s [...] |
| Neymar invents a new skill – video Posted: 24 Jan 2013 02:23 AM PST Neymar’s new skill is right at the start of this video, but if you wait a while you get a full replay of exactly how he bamboozles his opposite number. As a high ball is played to the Brazilian, he deliberately miscontrols the ball with the sole of his boot, bouncing it over the head [...] |

| GIF It: West Ham youngster Dan Potts’ sickening clash of heads with Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna Posted: 24 Jan 2013 01:41 AM PST Arsenal’s 5-1 thrashing of West Ham last night was initially overshadowed by what looked like a very nasty injury to Hammers defender Dan Potts. The 18-year-old full-back was involved in a horrible clash of heads with Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna, which left him motionless on the floor for 15 minutes. The youngster was stretchered off the [...] |
| Former Rangers keeper Andy Goram abused by Celtic fans in a bookies Posted: 24 Jan 2013 01:31 AM PST Warning: this is not a video to watch in earshot of your boss.

| Be Mercurial: Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo stars in an arty new Nike video Posted: 24 Jan 2013 12:59 AM PST It looks a bit like a football-themed disaster movie at first, then it looks a bit like the Matrix… but it’s actually an advert for Nike’s new Mercurial boots. We finally know why Cristiano Ronaldo uses quite so much hair gel: so he can continue to perform in even the windiest of conditions. |
