Zlatan with quite a beauty. Again.
Caught the last 15 mins of Malaga's game vs Real Madrid. Willy Caballero had a great game with no less than 13 saves. Can see why the press were linking him with Man City (besides the Pellegrini connection).
...while his teammate (couldn't see which one it was) who was also offside didn't even rate a mention. Southampton were diddled.
Townsend scores for Spurs.
Cue Bale like fawning from the media.

Didn't notice anyone else offside, but I had to laugh over the RVP decision being referred to as "tight". Even the wife (who has no interest in football whatsoever, but understands the concept of the offside rule) found it funny.
And yes, Southampton were well diddled. Hardly surprising though. However, it's good to see them stepping up to the mark against big teams this season. It certainly lessens the blow of us losing to them early on.
[article]Harry Redknapp was involved in an astonishing touchline row after being hit in the face by a ball thrown from the crowd at the New Den.
QPR assistant Joe Jordan also sustained a facial cut and had his glasses smashed in an incident which Millwall boss Steve Lomas claimed was an ‘accident’.
Redknapp was so furious that he even missed Jermaine Easter’s last-minute equaliser as he launched a four-letter tirade at the individuals he accused of throwing the ball.
‘A guy threw a ball at Joe, hit him in the face and smashed his glasses and cut his face,’ stormed Redknapp. ‘Silly really. Someone else then threw it back in my face.
‘But I’m more concerned about Joe — he’s ended up with his glasses smashed in his face.’
Millwall manager Steve Lomas claimed home fans were simply trying to get the ball back into play as quickly as possible.
‘I think it was just two genuine accidents,’ he said. ‘One of the balls that was thrown from the crowd hit Joe and it cut him a little bit, but I don’t think there was any malice in it and Harry knew that as well. The crowd were just trying to get the ball back into play quickly.’
The incidents are certain to be noted by the Football Association, although Redknapp was more concerned that his team had dropped two points. ‘When you are 2-1 up with time running out you really ought to see the game out,’ he said. ‘But we’re doing OK.’
Niko Kranjcar had put the visitors ahead in controversial fashion on 26 minutes as QPR broke upfield after referee Mike Dean had waved away a strong Millwall penalty appeal when Charlie Austin appeared to block Liam Trotter.[/article]
They've brought some good players in, but if I were them I'd be starting to get a little antsy over the fact that they haven't really been turning all that quality into goals.
Looks like a risk worth taking after signing Giuseppe Rossi despite his injury woes at Villarreal. Hatrick inspired Fiorentina's comeback from 0-2 down to win 4-2. 8 goals in 8 league appearances.
