Happy Tuesday! Here are some soccer related bits n' bobs you may be interested in.
- Make your own chicken puns: Blackburn sacks Michael Appleton less than three months into the tenure.
- Michael Owen will retire at the end of the season. What are your fondest memories of him? I somewhat naively thought he and Rooney were going to be the next Shearer and Sheringham. But it wasn't to be.
- Bayern are 20 points up from Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Barcelona 13 from Real Madrid, and Manchester United 15 from City. The relegation battles are looking more and more exciting than their top of the table counterparts. QotD: Any chance of the three teams slipping up?
- Dave Whelan says this tackle from Callum McManaman was clean as a whistle. And he's right, if the whistle was just blown into by somebody with severe bronchitis and an overload of phlegm, that is. FYI, the tackle is being retroactively reviewed, and it's likely McManaman will be banned. (UPDATE: Erm, maybe not.)
- And because it was Mark Halsey reffing, your regular internet tough guys have sent their usual twitter death threats and cancer jibes. The fact that these people may have children is very disturbing. Even Graham Poll has ripped him on the radio. Because he's never humiliated himself on a soccer pitch, right?
- In their typically understated fashion, The Sun reveals the details behind the Rio Ferdinand "fiasco" (other words used in the article include "crisis" and "shambles"), as they begin twisting the knife into Roy Hodgson's reign.
- Wins against Bayern, no matter how little it ultimately meant, and Swansea have made Gunners fans feeling better, but Patrick Barclay goes full on sunshine rainbows and lollipops with this following statement: "Wenger has made Arsenal contenders again." Sure, they've definitely played better (and the clean sheets were impressive), but contenders? As in for the title next year? That's jumping back on the bandwagon a little too quickly, no?
- One more from The Sun, just because of the pun: Goldenbrawls.
- If you own a PS3, you could've played against Messi on FIFA. The best thing? He rage quits too.
- Sign up for FIFA 13's CONCACAF Interactive Gold Cup before March 31st, and you can win an all expenses paid trip to the competition's Grand Final, held at the actual Gold Cup's semifinals.

That Messi article really got me down: Millions of teenagers?! I am in my 30s and probably lost to him :P
