The two match ban handed to Wayne Rooney for swearing into the camera in celebration after scoring a hat-trick was upheld yesterday.

As I was watching Spurs play Real Madrid, the missus wandered in the room and sat down. She knows little about football and could care less about it.

A photo of Newcastle United's home shirt for the 2011-12 Premier League season has been leaked on the Internet. Designed and manufactured by Puma, the new home shirt is quite a diversion from a typical Newcastle United home shirt. The classic look of the black and white stripes has been significantly altered.
