Now this is what you call a professional foul...

The score is 1-1. It's the last minute and you've thrown eveything forward. But the ball falls loose and suddenly the opposition break. What would you do?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, striker-extraordinaire, gives a textbook answer.

So yes, technically it's cheating. But he saved his side a valuable point, got a standing ovation, and a ruffle of the hair from David Beckham.

Totally worth it.

Arsene's a little Englander...

These Frenchies just can't help having their two-penneth about the English...

First we had Manu Petit questioning John Terry and Ashley Cole's England injuries, then there was Florent Malouda harping on about English diets and training methods. Now Monsieur Wenger has had a pop at the fans who are crying out for Jose Mourinho for the England job following Super Steve's sacking.

"What makes me sad is that I am more nationalistic than you are. You want to give it to Mourinho or Capello, and I am the only one who goes for an Englishman."

Mind he has got a point. Remember all those fans so against a foreign boss before and after Sven's reign? They're very quiet these days.

Well maybe not, they're probably the ones shouting loudest in favour of Mourinho. It's a fickle old game...

Allardyce on borrowed time...

A loss at home to Arsenal tonight and Big Sam could be the newest managerial casualty...

It's all gone a bit Pete Tong for Sam Allardyce since he joined the Magpies. After several successful seasons at unfashionable Bolton and narrowly missing out on the England job, the previously bubbly and media friendly manager has turned into a bit of a touchy, bitter and cynical one. He once claimed that he would be more respected in the football world if he was called Sam Allardiché. Instead he was affectionately known as Big Sam. Not anymore. All he gets these days is Fat Sam.

So if you do get the boot tonight Sam, here's a pic to remind you of the good times. Doesn't he look so happy...

YOU'RE RUBBISH, BUT THANKS

Somehow, the extraordinarily spawny and not at all good Milan striker Fillipo Inzaghi became the all-time top scorer in European play, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY HE WON US A BET!

Inzaghi scored in the 70th minute at the San Siro for his 63rd goal in Europe to overtake legendary Bayern Munich forward Gerd Muller. As usual he missed an absolute sitter before converting an open goal to send AC Milan through as group leaders. Yesterday we advised you to back a Milan win at a massive 13/8 and clean up. We did and the Catflap office made a combined profit of £350.00, GET IN.

Lex's Limericks #1

Number One in a series of how ever many I can be bothered to do...

There once was a man named Jeff Stelling,
Great goals and results were his telling,
But if ‘Pool went one down,
He’d be certain to frown,
Especially if they were playing at Welling...

ithangyou...
