    In fairness I dont think there is much they can do apart from banning the North Korean FA from sending any teams to club or international competitions.

    Its amazing just how far behind football is to other sports like Tennis, Cricket, Rugby, American Football, etc in regards to video technology.

    For the most popular and wealthiest sport in the world to lag behind so many other sports is sad and mainly the fault of Sepp Blatter.

    Good result for Arsenal today. Need to have a result like this against boogie teams like Blackburn. Shame about Van Persie going off injured (couldn't hear what it was as my son has learnt his first word this week and is using it every other second...lol) but we actually played better in the second half. Good to see Fabregas back and 7 points out of 9 is the best start in 3 years

    Yeah, He was introduced today at San Siro. A quality player, very good adquisition. I've always thought that he's full of himself but also one of the best strikers in the world.

    I've been reading Ibra will wear the number 11 and maybe Klaas-Jan Huntelaar will be out, rumours say Spurs or Shalke 04.

    But according to this site, Borriello could leave.

    Anyway, Welcome Zlatan!

    they're not a team yet. it's going to take time, too many changes from year to year.

    plus a draw @ mallorca is decent for the first game of the season.

    Only seen highlights of the game. From what I seen, Blackpool look pretty decent and seemed a very entertaining contest. Blackpool played some nice football and there second was excellent (their link up play and passing was very good).

    According to the bbc.co.uk/football website Van Persie (aka Brittle Bob) will be out for a 'few weeks' - sorry can't post link from phone. Thankfully there's an international break but this is getting ridiculous with his injuries - I read somewhere a similar situation Harry Redknapp had with Gareth Bale and basically told him to 'man up' and seems to worked maybe Arsene should do the same with Briitle Bob?!

    Oh no, I agree with you. I just think he sucks in general lol.

    Surprised by Bradley re-upping. Figured Klinsmann was there for sure.

    same here; i mean gulati had met with klinsmann and with all the talk of bob to aston.... i would have liked to see bob at aston and klinsmann at our helm. oh well. will be interesting to see if clark & findley get called up next time :lol:

    saw the fulham match, was a little disappointed by fulham's performance honestly, but i'm thinking this year will not be a good one for the cottagers. :(
    new castle continues to intrigue me, i enjoy watching them. laughed at tevez's miss, but not a man city fan. mancini does look better with his new hair cut though. :lol:


    seattle sounders played chicago fire saturday night; game was significant because we traded ljungberg to chicago a month ago or so; it was his return match to qwest field. anyway, check out our tifo display:
    YouTube- Emerald City Supporters Overhead SSFC vs Fire 8/28/2010

    we had about 37k people, more than a jaguars game! :lol:
    you can hear the entire stadium chanting after the needle goes up

    oh, and we won, 2-1
    homeboy in my avatar scored both ;)

    has everton lost the magic from last year? they need donovan! :lol: friedel had a monster game against everton, though. howard had some great saves as well.

    plesantly surprised by bolton. i haven't caught any of the matches though; hasn't stuart "boy band" holden been a starter there now? how's he doing?

    now that bradley is no longer in the picture for aston, i wonder in which direction they will go? perhaps offer the temporary manager a full-time gig? He has them sitting pretty at 4th already...

    Marco Borriello to 'La lupa' (Roma) and KJ Huntelaar to Shalke 04, I wish we had another Italian forward besides Pippo.

    For Newcastle, yeah? Carroll is on fire, fun to watch. Never been a fan of Newcastle but they're winning me over with their play this year.

    No Euro 2012 qualifying talk????

    Italy finally won a game although they were down 1-0 at half. Cassano came on strong and they won 2-1 over Estonia

    Portugal tied 4-4 at home to Cyprus I think

    England won 4-0....Rooney looked great

    France lost again

    What a crappy day. News that RvP is out another 6 weeks, Theo gets hurt after finally finding his form and Portugal blow again. After the retirements of Figo, Rui Costa, Pauleta, and now Deco and Simao, i think they've missed their chance at a trophy. Now they are just a team full of play making wingers without anyone to finish. bummer.
