Hi all...my submission to the Guardian Big Blogger competition made it to the final six. While it has nothing to do with football (it's on my favourite Montreal Canadiens goaltender, Patrick Roy), a vote for yours truly would surely make my Friday.

Yours in bloggery,

Congratulations are due to Spurs' Russian striker Roman Pavlyuchenko, who's been elected to the regional council in his home town of Stavropol. Vladimir Putin's United Russia party won 63% of the vote with Pavlyuchenko on the ticket and so now the big forward is officially a deputy.

I mentioned it in the recap, but we should really flood the box for Connor Casey's goal as Goal of the Week. It was an amazing, last-second, game-winning, hat-trick-clinching strike. So vote early and often Rapids fans. We really don't get enough of these.

At Arsenal, youth is served. And keeping in that fashion, the boss has named a side of 13 teenagers for today's fixture against Sheffield United. It comes as no surprise, as this has been his approach to the Cup, the fourth highest priority for Wenger.

In my attempt at player news, Jack Wilshere may get his first start, but he isn't even the youngest, as Emmanuel Frimpong is nine days younger.

Come on KC Wiz fans, show TFC who's boss this week, then our boys will show them on Saturday. Click to continue reading...

Hopkins seems to think so. I'll back him up and say Sigi's the front-runner but only if the Notorious P.I.E. grabs the mic strong during his acceptance speech and belts out "The Warning" to the astonished and appalled crowd. Do that and I'm down for life. You can watch the clip below and cast your own vote. Click to continue reading...
