…Football in particular seems to be particularly in thrall to those 140 characters that it offers per message, perhaps because nobody in the game, not even Joey Barton has got anything more to say than that. Perish the thought.

There is a growing problem in the United Kingdom that is evident to everyone, yet no one wants to talk about. It can be seen at Fulham, where Clint Dempsey continues to find space on the field and in the record books. It can be seen at Everton, where, despite his somewhat comical camouflage shirt, Tim Howard remains entrenched as the man between the pipes. He has been joined there, for the second time, by Landon Donovan, who the Toffees faithful and front office can’t seem to get enough of. It can even be seen at Bolton, who are simply waiting for the ink to dry on a deal for New York’s Tim Ream.

his winners medal Shankly told him to forget all about it as there were far more

denial until 1967 when victory at Wembley over the World Champions allowed us
to finally acknowledge the 1966 triumph.

Half a season gone and there is everything still to play for at the top of Serie A. Juventus, with a 2-0 away win against Atalanta last weekend, secured the title of winter champions. But with half the season still to go, the title race is still wide open, with Milan one point behind the league leaders, Udinese a further two points behind and Inter six behind Juventus. A little further afield, Lazio, Napoli and Roma all lurk menacingly in the fight for the top three spots.

Real Madrid can’t beat Barcelona. Whatever the reason, whether mental, physical or tactical, Jose Mourinho’s men can’t get the better of their Iberian cousins.

This time, it was a deflating 2-1 defeat at the Bernabeu in the Copa Del Rey, courtesy of goals by Carles Puyol and Eric Abidal.
