I'm joking with that subject line, obviously. Keane resigns as Sunderland boss Roy Keane has resigned as manager of Sunderland after 27 months in charge. Keane, 37, took over in 2006 but chose to step down with the club lying 18th in the Premier League following five defeats in six matches. "Roy's decision sums up his desire to always [.

Haw haw. Kudos to Friedel, who cuts to the quick: Friedel Sets a Record in Premier League The American goalkeeper Brad Friedel, who plays for Aston Villa, made a record 167th consecutive Premier League appearance in a 0-0 draw against Fulham in Birmingham, England, on Saturday. The 37-year-old Friedel, who started the streak in August 2004 with [. Click to continue reading...

Nice goal, dipshit.

The perils of an extremely young team, I guess. Bendtner immediately headed towards the corner flag and took off his shirt to show the home crowd what a man he was. Automatic yellow card. If he gets one more, he's suspended, and that's yet another player Arsenal can't rely on. Arsenal 1-0 Dynamo [. Click to continue reading...

Here's to hoping the Fleet retain their championship. FA Trophy first round draw Blue Square Premier leaders Histon have been drawn at home to local rivals Cambridge United in [.

'Thug' MSPs tackle religious team A team of MSPs who were branded "thugs" after a recent match was abandoned are to tackle a side of religious figures, they have announced. The politicians had their game against a squad of sports journalists stopped after tempers flared. One of the flashpoints saw BBC broadcaster Chick Young injured in a tackle [.

Ha! Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle. Lost at home! [Concession: Chelsea should have had 3 points -- today provided yet another example of why the most basic and minimal goal-line technology wouldn't be a terrible idea.] Ha! Liverpool 0-0 Fulham. Another loss at home! Bah! Not just bah -- this is utter [. Click to continue reading...

Idiot.

Whiny Willie needs to start packing.  Surely they'll sell his pitiful over-the-hill ass in January.  I bet there are plenty of teams in France who would like to have him around given his team-building acumen. If he's named captain on Saturday, I'm gonna lose it. Arsenal will be lucky to get a Champions League spot [. Click to continue reading...

I wonder if, after the game, they celebrated in the dressing room, congratulating themselves on their dignified strategy?

Catania, a team in the country's top division, unveiled the new look while taking [. Click to continue reading...

Hilarious story from Serie A. Bologna, sitting in the relegation zone at #18, fortuitously tied against Siena yesterday. And then ... After the game Bologna's Vangelis Moras went to celebrate the away point against Siena by saluting the traveling supporters and throwing his shirt into the stands for a fan to take home as [.

People who listen to non-English rock music are a pretentious bunch. I've never met anyone who listens to non-English rock who isn't a total dweeb -- I'd throw this particular kind of music fan in the same category as Jethro Tull, Yes, or Moody Blues fans. I.e., people I'd rather not discuss music [. Click to continue reading...
