Pow! Right in the kisser!

Lesson for us: Try to watch more German football - they have cheerleaders.

The latest in a long line of Downfall parodies

With the exception of the odd gauche racial slur, this video is a fine representation of the anguish C-Ron’s imminent transfer is causing. Click here for an Arsenal version.

Get yer daily dose of schadenfreude right here

There’s nothing quite like a hilarious football compilation on a Thursday afternoon. With that in mind, here’s a video spotted on Unprofessional Foul, plenty of which I hadn’t seen before. My personal favourite comes around the minute mark, where Sky’s cameras catch some classic pranking during a warm-down session. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t fall for that one at school.

Enjoy.

Without question, my favourite sports reporter The Arkansas Morning News’ very own Robbie Neiswanger. Not only does he have a rude-sounding surname, but he writes for a website called nwaonline.net, which is strangely devoid of late 80s hip hop news.

Also, he is reporting on a town named Fayetteville. Which could sound a little like ‘Fatville’ in certain accents. Which is funny.

Wondering how the Premier League’s most obnoxious individual is getting on?

That little scamp Joey Barton has been ringing in the New Year at Her Majesty’s pleasure, but how has he been getting on without his eye-burning cigars and his best fighting jumper? Has he been CS gassed yet? Is he running errands for a large man called Sally? Find out with our exclusive “New Year at Barton’s” snapshot album.
