What you missed while remembering the good old days of Atari…
- Real Madrid’s unbeaten streak was finally ended in a shocking 2-1 loss to Sevilla on Sunday.
- Your team just drew with Sunderland after a fluke own goal gifted you an equalizer in stoppage time. Do you: A) Wish Sunderland well and tell the press you were lucky to escape with a draw, B) Criticize your own team’s inability to defend, particularly singling out your keeper, or C) Say that you would’ve won the game if the ref hadn’t been such an out of shape fat ass? If you said “C”, you might be Sir Alex Ferguson. Ferguson also claims that not enough time was added on to the game by Alan Wiley, who was not seen laughing it up with Steve Bruce in the tunnel afterwards.
- In other Sir Alex Fergsuon news, he believes that an injury, not a lack of professional goalkeeping skill, is the reason that Ben Foster was omitted from the English National Team.
- In equally absurd news, Rafa Benitez still thinks Liverpool can win the title even though they lost 2-0 to Chelsea and have beaten exactly nobody at the top of the table so far this season.
- England’s match against the Ukraine will only be available online. Welcome to how the U.S. watches you play, England.
- Gary Neville, who’s only made two appearances for Manchester United this year, doesn’t plan on playing for England in South Africa.
- Sulaiman al-Fahim is planning on selling 90% of Portsmouth to Saudi billionaire Ali al-Faraj; this comes only about a month after he formally took over.
- Kenny Miller’s brace allowed Rangers to beat Celtic 2-1 in the first Old Firm derby of the year.
- Big news from Spain as Xerez finally scored their first goal of the season.
- Ronaldinho’s goal against ten-man Atalanta allowed AC Milan to snatch a 1-1 draw; that’s Milan’s first goal in four games.
- Conor Casey’s penalty kick secured a 1-1 draw for the Rapids against the Revolution; his sixteenth goal makes him joint top scorer in MLS. I’m only saying nice things now because we’ll probably say mean things later.
- MLS chief Don Garber thinks that Stan Kroenke would be an excellent owner of Arsenal.

If that isn’t a rousing endorsement of Usmanov, I don’t know what would be.
I usually refrain from such statements as I am clearly a Revolution “homer,” but that was NOT a PK!
