FIFA goal of the year candidates. Miroslav Stoch wins it.

No surprise that Messi wins the Ballon D'Or.

Its a shame that he has to go on stage in that suit. That is a bad suit Lio, and you should feel bad.

A day late but I was thrilled about the way Swansea came back on Arsenal what a final 10 minutes to that game. 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2.

Several experts had the Black Swans relegated this year. They were quite wrong.
Cardiff City if they maintain control will be up to the EP next season.
The experts will probably predict them both to be regulated in 2014.

It looks like Villa may not be heading to the Emirates quite yet, or those Catalans are playing transfers games again...

Arsenal’s hopes of signing David Villa look to have been dashed as Barcelona president Sandro Rosell insists the Catalan club want to keep the player until the end of the season at least.

Quoted by @EurosportCom_EN: – Rosell said, “I reject absolutely the transfer of Villa in the January window. He is ours and we need him.”

Arseblog News is aware that there was definite interest on both sides, but that now appears to be dead in the water following Rosell’s comments.

QPR defender Ryan Nelsen was named the new manager of Toronto FC this morning.

Tough break for QPR as the times I've seen them play this year he's been terrific.

A history of corruption, scandal, and match-fixing? Sweet, Leeds are in with a shot!

What an absolute turd of a game. When Americans talk about why they hate soccer, that game was the picture-perfect example. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Way to park the bus, 'Arry.

Norwich-Newscastle wasn't any better I'm guessing. Norwich couldn't string any passes together, and there were hardly any chances at either end. 0-0 was more than flattering to both sides. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

QPR literally didn't bring on a striker until the 80th minute or so today. I know they needed the point, but that's just painful football.

it was weird, I think Harry just didn't want to lose to Spurs because he said like two weeks ago that draws to nothing for them

they need 3 points in all games they can get them

that Adebayor miss in the 6th minute was ridiculously bad, if he gets that QPR open up and it's a 3-4 goal win

It sucks because it was the right call but it is not called nearly often enough or with anything resembling consistency.

Once again Howard Webb screws over Liverpool.

Forget about allowing the play to continue when Liverpool obviously could care less about Reina being down in his only penalty area only to blow it up when United gained possesion and were threatening to break.

Forget about the failed sendings off of firstly Skrtel when Welbeck was going to be clean through and secondly the world's best left back for a 2nd yellow card when he was rugby tackling Valencia to the ground.

Forget also the penalty he failed to give for the blatant shove on Kagawa into Reina in the box when he was about to tap the ball into the net.

The real crime here is the missed corner kick he failed to give to Liverpool which without doubt cost them a point. Once again Howard Webb proves that he is in Fergie's pocket.

There were no Liverpool fans on here complaining about Webb before or after the game.

Now hopefully you can agree that Webb is a terrible ref.

I'm unaware of those theories.

I thought it was a fun game to watch that ended up with a fair result. Obviously I'm disappointed with a loss, but I have no complaints.

A little while back, I mentioned that you can now listen to live commentary for all BPL matches online (legally) through Talksport.com. They apparently have the rights for audio commentary outside of Europe.

Well they have now released an iOS app. Just search for Talksport Live in the app store. It isn't anything fancy, and you can also get all of the matches via the TuneIn radio app anyway. But I thought that it might be useful for some of you to know about.
