The UEFA cup is so important to me that I read about 2 1/2 paragraphs of the article before I closed the window.

I really hope Arsenal don't fall there next season so it actually would become important to me.

nice list of some non-impact players on that Generation Adidas List making more than guys on development salaries making less than public school teachers...

if the Generation adidas players were NBA draft selections they'd surely be Sam Bowie, Ed O'Bannon, and Michael Olowokandi.

Cesc out for 3-4 months. I'm preparing myself for hearing, "Arsenal drew Rosenborg in UEFA Cup matchday 2 . . . "

Gemma Atkinson warms my cockles.

Do the bewb cupcakes promised last week come in Gemma Atkinson size? Although I guess at that point, they would just be cakes.
