Trawling around the web in lieu of doing any actual work, I came across the website of Matthew Craven. He does lots of drawings, some of which make me smile. A lot.
Goalkeepers Are.... Riding Invisible Ferrets?
Now then Mr van der Sar, this is how you celebrate your team going five-nil up. Never mind seven.

I am not a sensitive soul. I rarely write letters to the Daily Mail expressing my outrage at foreigners walking our streets, and women being allowed to operate heavy machinery. But this sort of degrading filth is just beyond the pale

Messi v Ronaldo
I'll be honest, I don't really care for the El Classico. Real Madrid and Barcelona inhabit a footballing universe that is completely alien to me. That said, I do not live my life in vacuum, and nor does this blog.
Strikers Are Idiots
So the last few weeks, goalkeepers have taken a bit of a battering on these pages. How about we redress the balance?
Big Phil Scolari Shakes His Fist
As threatening signs go, waggling your finger and shaking your fist have always struck me as somewhat weak. But what do I know? I never managed a team to World Cup victory after all. But I reckon i could get sacked by Chelsea fairly easily.

Portable Goal Posts Could Spell The End For Jumpers
There a re two good things about these portable goalposts. One, they are goalposts which are portable. Obviously. And two, this advert was shot entirely on an iPhone. I don't believe I could do something similar on my Blackberry.

But then, so are strikers
It goes no way to redressing the balance, I know. Still, should be a crumb of comfort to the goalkeepers union,
Goalkeepers Are Idiots Pt.539
This is beginning to appear as something of a vendetta. If you're reading this, and you are a goalkeeper, well done, I assure you nothing is further from the truth.
Noel Gallagher. Character.
I don't know about you, but I have spent many sleepless nights wondering quite what Noel Gallagher thinks about the panel on Soccer Saturday. Tonight, I will sleep like a baby.
Waking up every three hours, crying after having shat myself.

FIFA 11 Just Exceeded My Expectations
Although I am not so sure I really want the total fan experience of wind, rain and crappy views.
Chinatown Soccer Club
Those who know me know I am a sucker for a good documentary. So this little gem about Kang, one of the members of the Chinatown Soccer Club, had me spellbound for all it's 20 minute duration.

The Match That Never Was
Remember Scotland v Estonia. Well now it's Back v Lochs as Back failed to turn up for a Hebrides league decider with Lochs over a church induction row. The game that never was was abandoned after just one second of official play.
Back FC stand to forfeit three points over the fiasco amid talk that other island teams should boycott the no-
The furious controversy erupted over the last few days when Back FC were keen to postpone the potential league decider against bitter rivals Lochs.
The unholy row has caused the resignation of a match fixture official after he was allegedly threatened. The fallout has created a huge amount bad feeling in the island’s sporting community.
The Lewis and Harris Football Association are due to debate the chaos next Tuesday.
Stay-
The hall is at the Coll pitch and both venues share the same access and car park.
Despite the 24-
In the event, just a small handful of women were busy in the hall and their half dozen or so vehicles took up hardly any space in the vast car park.
It is understood that the Garrabost pitch was offered as an alternative venue.
Many of the 150 spectators or so who braved the biting midges for the 7pm kick-
Lochs fan John Macdonald of Leurbost echoed the feeling of the annoyed crowd when he said: “Back claimed the hall and the carpark would be full. They apparently also claimed police said the game should not go ahead because there would be a big crowd.
“It turned out to be a load of nonsense. The real reason is that they have players missing. It is a complete farce. It is a disgrace.”
Another Lochs supporter said: “It is childish that nobody turned up.”
Atop a brae some 300 metres away, a group of the missing Back players spied on the scene as the referee waited 15 minutes in vain before starting the game against the invisible home side. One second later, and a couple of taps of the ball, and ref D J Maclean whistled full time.
Earlier, Back FC manager James “Bommie” Macarthur vehemently denied accusations of underhand tactics to put off the match to when he could field a stronger team.
He said the island’s football association agreed to postpone provided it had written evidence. But it then ruled the necessary letter of support invalid because it missed a deadline Back was never informed about.
Mr Macarthur says claims of an injured squad are “nonsense and ridiculous” and they knew for six months about the absence of their only unavailable player.
He explained: “What is happening is there is a community function in the hall. They are catering for nearly 1000 people for the induction and we felt there would be a conflict with game going on and the large number people in and out of the hall and using the kitchens. In addition car parking will be an issue.”
