As a footballer, we all want to be appreciated by our own team, so quite what Inverurie Locos defender Greig Watson thinks about his team’s plans to offload him goodness only knows. So keen are the side to get rid of their man that they have even advertised in the local paper for someone to [...]

There didn’t seem to be an awful lot to worry about for Chivas USA when a cross was floated into the box by a Seattle Sounders midfielder.

Some might think yacht, some a nice new house and some a lifetime supply of hoisin duck pancakes on order at a moment’s notice, but Norwegian lottery winner Yngvar Borgesen thought on slightly different lines.

West Brom defender Gabriel Tamas arrested for breaking into block of flats

West Brom defender Gabriel Tamas has something of a reputation for being a drinker, after he was banned for international football for two years by Romania after going on a late night drinking session when on international duty.

First pictures of a Liverpool fan burning a Luis Suarez shirt

Awww, it just had to happen sooner or later. After blindly sticking by their Uruguayan striker through thick, thin and thinner, Liverpool fans have now turned on their man after he announced that he wanted to leave the club. Suarez’s official reasoning was the pressure of the English media (they made him be racist and [...]
