Enjoy footage of Manchester City’s Mario Balotelli trying to don a practice shirt. It’s surprisingly amusing.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is well-known for his antics and his opinions. He often speaks up when other bosses are in the news to toss in his two cents. He has ranted against FA regulations. He has fumed over transfer sagas. And, apparently, he has praised Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp a lot lately. So much so, that the press has started digging into his “man love” for Ol’ ‘Arry.
Watch video of the question being asked… and the ensuing hilarity!
Apologies, you Yanks! You love “The Special One,” and I have failed to bring him to you lately. Here are the blurbs for the 3 latest episodes. Catch them past the jump!
BBC Comedy:
January 28 – ‘Sven Sacked’ (Episode 12)
“Shocking revelations this week. BBC terminate Sven’s contract with ST1V after unacceptable comments heap disgrace on the programme that’s become a national institution. Do it!”
February 4 – ‘Aftermath’ (Episode 13)
“As the transfer dust settles, we reflect on the biggest splurge in Premier League history.”
February 11 – ‘Just Like That’ (Episode 14)
“Has any other season ever been so topsy-turvy? Bottom beats top but stays bottom, Voyeur blows top after scrapping barrels bottom. And Mr Cappello does his best to bring some much-needed pizzazz to the show. Do it!”
Le gasp!
France’s L’Equipe is reporting that representatives of the New York Red Bulls have made a secret trip across the pond to inquire about acquiring the services of one Nicolas Anelka.
Initially, the news is pretty shocking. But once you let it set in a bit, things start to make sense. New York needs to replace the goal-scoring presence formerly filled by Juan Pablo Angel, and with Fernando Torres’ arrival at Chelsea, Anelka has certainly been knocked down a peg.
It would be a pricey deal, but the thought of France’s former frontline — Henry/Anelka — being reunited in the MLS is mouth-watering.
This is far from being real news, but these are tasty rumors.
Liverpool’s owners have made today a statement of intent. The morning headlines ran wild with the news that New England Sports Ventures (NESV) had turned down a $35M bid for Fernando Torres from rivals Chelsea. Many think this must have been a difficult decision given that the striker has been under-performing and is most-likely less valuable than the proposed price tag.
In refusing the offer, NESV made it clear that they intend to pull the club up by its boot-straps back into the realm of world-class competition.
To put an exclamation point on this statement, the club has just released the news that they have finalized the uncertain signing of Luis Suarez from Dutch club Ajax.
Suarez impressed the world with his dazzling striking prowess this summer at the FIFA World Cup 2010, but all of this was cast in a shadow by his use of the Dark Arts:
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
The lovable and ever-honest Andy Gray of Sky Sports has just been fired for a string of incidents of sexism. The broadcaster was given a slap on the wrist earlier this week, after a recording arose of him and fellow announcer Richard Keys making sexist wisecracks about Sian Massey, a female referee in Liverpool’s match away to Wolverhampton.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti decided to stop by and watch his youth team in action…

BBC Comedy: ‘Special 1 Tv’, Episode 11.
“This week, another manager is on the brink. Wayne is in Upton Park for an interview with a vampire. And Robbie Keane; a player in need or fodder for Harry’s bargin bin?”

BBC Comedy: ‘Special 1 Tv’, Episode 10.
“The King returns. Exclusive and revealing interview with King Kenny as he returns to Liverpool only on this show. S1TV is all over it with Wayne in Liverpool and reaction from other Premier League Managers. Do it!”
Liverpool’s Ryan Babel has gone and done it now! After his team’s loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup this weekend, he posted this picture on Twitter along with the following tweet:
“And they call him one of the best referees? That’s a joke. SMH.”
OMG! Look out, Howard Webb! Suffer the wrath of teen-like typing!
Please… the famed official was ROFLing when he heard about this… and then, he probably needed to ask what Twitter is.
After the national uproar, Babel re-tweeted with his tail between his legs:
“Sorry Howard Webb. My apology if they take my posted pic seriously. This is just an emotional reaction after losing an important game.”
Looks like B-to the-A-to the-B-E-L has new material for his blooming rap career!
